I've reported an error, but last time I did that ABC never corrected the article.

And here I was thinking it was a Fallout reference

"Hacky install methods" like... installing an official package from a package repository like every other piece of Linux software?

Bad title.

They'll just continue to ignore the law. This requirement has been in place since before the first wave of cookie banners.

It has never been forbidden to store first party cookies required for site functionality. This includes remembering the banner setting.

how did we get to a point where every creator is limited to one box?

US Antitrust has been asleep for decades, and as soon as it opened one bleary eye the oligarchs took over the government.

Note that there are actually a bunch of rules. "There's just one rule" is itself a meme derived from it's historical antecedents.

People bought excess of lots of things, toilet paper just was more noticeable more quickly because of it's huge volume to value ratio, and slow restocking (in part because of that ratio, it's not worth warehousing so there was little flexibility in the supply chain).

Once the shortage started becoming obvious it was self-perpetuating, you needed to buy what toilet paper you could when you could because you didn't know when you would be able to buy again. The supermarkets near me at the time had no toilet paper restocked for more than three months as supplies got redirected to "higher priority" stores.

The two people declined to name the Chinese manufacturers of the inverters and batteries with extra communication devices, nor say how many they had found in total.

Without this information I don't think it's possible to determine if this is actually a threat or if someone just wants their department funded.

I'm curious if it's actually preference or if it's supply side. From casual browsing Toyota looks to have completely eliminated their small cars (e.g. Echo) and their smaller cars (e.g. Yaris) are getting bigger and more SUV-like. Volvo stopped selling their station wagons in favour of SUVs and I can't think of any station wagons left on the market. Most of the EVs in the Australian market seem to be SUV-like, especially the MGs which have dominated the "remotely affordable" category for a while.

It's possible the manufacturers are just responding to consumer demands, but I'd like to see some evidence of who's driving the change.
