Heaps of BYD EVs on the road here in Australia, and Tesla sales are plummeting here now too.


[Eric patting a big box of H100s] this bad boy is going to generate so much slop


There isn’t a definitive list, only vague guidelines: https://consumer.gov.au/sites/consumer/files/inline-files/ac...

The price you paid relative to comparable products factors into it - more expensive goods are expected to last longer.

If you and the manufacturer disagree, you can always take it to tribunal to get a decision (and manufacturers never want it to get there so are motivated to resolve your concern before it comes to that).


If a bunch of CGI objects being crushed is disturbing to people wait til they see this movie of a train coming directly at you.


> wait til they see this movie of a train coming directly at you.

The reports of fear about that movie have been greatly exaggerated.

What about the video makes you think it was CG?


Are you suggesting the emoji squeeze toy conveniently rolled perfectly to the edge of the hydraulic press at exactly the right moment and then its eyes uniformly popped out? A perfectly uniform explosion of dust actually burst out the press? Seems doubtful.


Using real objects for 90% of that effect is probably the cheapest way to go. The two things you mention could be added in.


I don’t know if that’s the case here, but Apple has a long history of doing real-life photoshoots of their products that end up looking like CGI. It’s an extremely clean, perfectionist aesthetic. Realistically, it’s probably a real-life shot with CGI sprinkled in.


Just because it's not CGI, doesn't mean there isn't a lot of trickery involved. They could have filmed the emoji toy part as stop motion, for example.


The state is very much in on the whole enterprise. The Star casino pay 35% tax on their takings, and pokie machine taxes can be as high as 51% in NSW.


It was a deliberately tightly restricted market to ensure taxi drivers could make a liveable wage. Now the industry is filled with people forced to work two or three jobs to survive and a tech company is capturing profits off the top. That might be a better outcome for customers but it sure doesn’t seem like one for the workers involved.


Does anyone understand why the arm64 instance types are showing roughly half the performance versus the comparable x64 instances in this? Other benchmarks I've seen put them within 20% of each other. Is this just a hyperthreading vs full core thing?


If you were genuinely remotely hacking a smartwatch, you’d be executing background processes to exfiltrate data entirely invisible to the user, not doing some bizarre remote desktop thing randomly tapping around on apps. The claim doesn’t pass the sniff test irrespective of the manufacturer.


Unless the attack vector is the "screen mirroring" feature of the Apple Watch? https://support.apple.com/en-gb/guide/watch/apd890848603/wat...


Took about 5 months of endless back and forth to get them to replace a defective SSD in Australia too, despite very clear consumer law guarantees here obligating them to help. Absolutely hopeless company to deal with.


Oh. Well he always truthfully and accurately represents the situation so I guess that’s the end of that.
