Same in Australia. The libnats (right-leaning) broke the fibre-optic rollout by claiming it would be too expensive, and replaced it in non-metro areas with wireless, claiming 25Mbps was adequate. They didn’t mention that slow internet would benefit the Murdoch -owned Foxtel satellite services. And here we are now with internet services worse than some poorer countries.

I chose Starlink because I will never get fibre optic, my only broadband option is geo-synch satellite, with speed and data caps, and 600ms latency.

Underfloor heating is great. Underfloor cooling without some form of dehydration will lead to condensation, moisture, and mould.

Adobe to update vague AI terms after users threaten to cancel subscriptions (arstechnica.com)

Adobe has promised to update its terms of service to make it “abundantly clear” that the company will “never” train generative AI on creators’ content after days of customer backlash, with some saying they would cancel Adobe subscriptions over its vague terms....

“canceling annual plans could trigger fees amounting to 50 percent of their remaining subscription cost” You cannot unilaterally change the T&Cs without an option to opt out of the new conditions, but still insist on the old T&C terms. WTF is wrong with Adobe, are they stupid?

I really enjoyed various communities on usenet. But most of my favouites moved to FB and usenet is now a cesspit of spam. I learned a hell of lot from alt.solar.pv and alt.energy.renewable, and made some great connections via aus.motorcycles. But I wouldn’t bother going there today, even in one of the few remaining feeds.
