Watching @ANZ_AU do passwords like it’s 1999 🤦♂️ The modern guidance we’ve now had for many years is:
“Only ask users to change their password on indication of suspicion of compromise”

@conradhc Hi Conrad, thanks for reaching out.
To help keep banking safe and secure, you will be prompted to reset your password after you've logged in. You will be prompted to reset your password every 12 months.
Thanks for your patience, Conrad.
Nup, fast charging at home is great. And Vehicle to Load is a great feature, if the power goes off you can plug your fridge into the car, charge your phone/laptop etc.
There's rumours that in future cars like the EV6 will have a software update to allow V2G - fingers crossed..

⚛️ @abcnews's recent #FactCheck made a classic rookie error in calculating that the latest US nukes had "build times of 10.1 and 10.4 years".
depending how you count it, it took somewhere between 13.9 years and ~19 years to build them.
easy mistake to make.
let me explain… 🧵
Minister for Climate Change and Energy @BowenChris says the average build time for a nuclear power plant in the US has been 19 years.
#RMITABCFactCheck finds that claim to be exaggerated: ab.co/3TnAHc1 #AusPol #FactCheck
I honestly thought this Garner pic was a photoshop a la Betoota but it is actually real, he does in fact have a forehead bigger than most of his apartments..

I know a lot of you wanted a technical breakdown of this meme so here it is!
I don't think you will find this level of detail anywhere else so keep reading if you don't want to miss out.

Wrote about it here theage.com.au/national/opioi…
Saw Daniel Kitson today at the Comedy Festival, would highly recommend - especially for just $20 (he says its a WIP but twas still great). Kudos to the mum taking her 14yo son and sitting in the front row..

The comprehensive review of human knowledge of the climate crisis took hundreds of scientists eight years to compile and runs to thousands of pages, but boiled down to one message: act now, or it will be too late. theguardian.com/environment/…
Just checking if @TimWattsMP is legitimately on the other site? If so welcome, and if not you have an impersonator...

you guys. mastodon is FINE, or pretty good even. some starter tips (most of these c/o @mmasnick):
1. movetodon.org is the easiest tool so far to find and follow all your friends from Twitter who are on Mastodon
2. pinafore.social lets you pin the main timeline

It’s reprehensible that @elonmusk is calling for the prosecution of Tony Fauci. I didn’t agree with some of his views, but no one had a more difficult job during C19. All public officials and public health practitioners on this platform should call this out.

Mastodon has just passed over 2 million active monthly users, a new record! People are voting with their feet. The future of social media doesn't have to belong to a billionaire, it can be in the hands of its users.
My strategy of following Prof Fuhrer and muting Ding et al has paid off, another good thread by the Prof here..

1) the crypto industry has tried to buy off both parties. SBF was a huge donor to Dems ($40 million), but his cohort at Alameda, Ryan Salame, gave $23 million to Repubs. They were playing both sides.
Probably what @theage @Gay_Alcorn should have done today instead of making it a page 1. Have we learnt nothing from 2016?
