Tried that no luck playing 92.9 mmm, Mix94.5 even Nova 93.7 doesn’t play on tune in

Radio app plays for about 5 minutes then stops

The commercial FM networks all pulled out of TuneIn a long time ago.

They want you to go via their native apps, so they can get your details when you sign up and sell that space to their advertisers etc.

Looks like the same thing is starting to happen to RadioApp for similar reasons.

Not true Smooth Sydney works on my Google Home which is why I tested it before posting.

Optus NBN customers across Queensland are dealing with an internet outage. The telco has apologised for any inconvenience to customers, but it hasn't said how widespread the problem is, or the cause. #Optus #outage #Internet #Queensland pic.twitter.com/AIEkqETRD0

This is why your consumer RAM prices are going up. Every person and their pet is getting into AI and wants all the memory.

It’s not so much RAM, as most AI stuff is done in the cloud.. but yes definitely more storage needed to save it’s work on your HDD/SSD drives locally.

I spent quite a bit on a new computer about this time last year but I only brought 32gb of DDR5 RAM and that cost me under $200 then when I was looking over the Black Friday sales it was over double that. I should have brought more last year in hindsight.

Depends what kind of CPU/GPU your PC has.. too much RAM can slow it down.

It’s used for Flight Simulator and running AI models it has 4080 so the extra RAM will get used as there are some models I can’t run atm. But given the RAM prices Ill just put up with what I’ve got for now. I’ll wait until the AI bubble bursts and RAM prices come down.

Opinion: Search engines latest target of laws to protect children

While the world watches Australia’s social media ban, another revolutionary reform is quietly emerging, writes Julie Inman Grant.

So, from December 27, search engines have an obligation to blur image results of online pornography to protect children from this incidental exposure, much the same way safe search mode already operates on services like Google and Bing when enabled.

​Crucially under the code, search engines will also now be required to automatically redirect searches related to suicide, self-harm or eating disorders to mental health support services.
