And this will happen every time government outsources responsibility. That's the point "It's not my fault we chose the lowest bidder and they were crap."

KDEConnect points the Dolphin file browser at its sshfs connection to its client on my Android phone. The ssh endpoint disconnects (no idea why) while Dolphin is copying multiple files. Dolphin assumes completion, all my copied files are corrupt. Well, thanks.
So KDEConnect uses sshfs to connect to an Android host. Hmmm...
Observation on Americans cops "accidentally" using a Glock: Every Taser I've handled has a safety catch. Every Glock I've shot has no safety catch.

I've heard several times that dark matter particles may be too small to detect, but what if they're just too big and diffuse? (for want of a better word) https://phys.org/news/2021-04-jupiter-ideal-dark-detector.html
The Airship To Orbit design looks like it would work well on Mars too.

This is so that they can migrate the whole thing to Australia where it will run on some of most carbon-intensive electricity in the world.

This Bill could mandate Internet filtering in NZ. We think it's inconsistent with a free, open, and secure Internet.

Wording clearly suggests RNZ & TVNZ are for the chop. What's the betting they'll want to use Facebook/YouTube for streaming the replacement instead of setting up a local, independent service?
Using P20 Pro as a PC via an HDMI/USB3 adaptor works fairly well. Mouse & kbd behave, some app options tricky to access. Biggest letdown was KDE Connect corrupting files while syncing. Suggestions for Android commanded Android/Linux file sync?
So it turns out my borescope is not waterproof. Well, fuck.
Of course, this won't effect "ordinary New Zealanders" will it Jacinda?

The New Zealand Parliament is planning a nation-wide internet censorship filter. The law would also criminalise livestreaming in some cases. Effective regulation in this area is essential.

Perhaps announcing a robot as helping make your JIT warehousing margins even slimmer is in poor taste at present?
