  • That’s not true, at least not in Victoria and many other states I’m aware of. Again, I know because I used to install/configure cameras, including in carparks and even a large shopping center. It’s also why most cameras don’t even include a mic at all

    Feel free to show us the exception in the law.

    Furthermore, it wouldn’t make any sense as it would be the world’s most obvious loophole and violate people’s privacy. As literally everyone could just claim they were trying to identify theft. And, it would still allow people to listen to the conversation if they were watching the nvr without being a part of the convo

    In some states, you need to be a part of the conversation. In others, you need permission from the other side too.

    This isn’t just Australia, world-wide in most countries a sign doesn’t count for consent

    There’s a reason you never see security footage on TV with audio recorded. You can possibly record a crime being performed as evidence, but, supermarket cameras would be recording all audio, including unrelated audio …





  • Truck drivers a month ago “wahhh, diesel is so expensive, we demand the government gives us handouts, we’ve been struggling for so long and we don’t get paid much”. I simply compare to EV’s, and suddenly apparently diesel ISN’T expensive, and 30mins of your time, is super valuable and costs the company a huge amount. Most truckies return to the depot multiple times in a day (where they could charge). They’re not all doing interstate trips…

    I’m not sure what decade you’re living in either. I used to drive a small toyota hatchback, and 20 years ago it cost more than $30 for 800km. Unless your car is a ride on mower, I doubt it lol

    What I find particularly hilarious is the prolific racism amongst Truckies (particularly on facebook), especially those claiming they don’t speak english well… And yet, I’ve mentioned multiple times how BYD Blade batteries are full enough in 5 mins (actually 97% charge in 10), and apparently you keep missing it. Full charge is NOT important. In fact, in Aviation, you rarely fly with full tanks






  • Don’t compile it in then…

    It’s literally that simple… but yeah, it is sync, you are correct

    We could debate the advantage and disadvantages of a lot of things in the main kernel. There’s so much stuff in there that only benefits certain limited applications, and we could make the argument for userspace for almost everything, including a lot of filesystem drivers

    Like it or not, wine and gaming is probably the biggest avenue where Linux is winning on the desktop at the moment (especially thanks to steam). We shouldn’t ignore it

    I’ve been using Linux for at least 20+ years now. And seen a lot of stuff come and go.

    A lot of distros are shipping with ntsync anyway, and, it’s something that will definitely get maintained
