Didn't Asahi acquire all of lion Nathan breweries over a decade ago?

Edit, actually kirin owns lion Nathan, but asahi definitely aquaired some of their brands a while ago.

Funilly enough Fosters is japanese now, and hasn't been Australian for decades.

Asahi have been buying up all of Australia's breweries, even a bunch of popular micros are owned by them now.

Before asahi, they were owned by ABINBEV and SABMiller.

It was actually made in many countries by the likes of Heineken, Coors, Molson, and others. I don't think any true fosters has been made in Australia and exported for a very long time.

I just pull no more than an album at a time from people usually. spread it out, come back the next day etc. If you aren't sure, use the chat function and ask them if they are OK with you queuing up more than a couple of full albums at a time.

I share freely, no restrictions other than bandwidth cap and use a round robin to allocate upload slots to people, so if someone does queue up a hundred gigs of flacs from me (in my library that can be a single artist) it doesn't block everyone else for a week.

Yea, we don't really need first party native UIs (the community can do that themselves), just more control and configurability over what we currently have.

I'd like to see some better screen formatting options without having to use custom code or unofficial add-ons.

For example, I'd like to make a grid layout that auto stretches and flows for different display sizes like a modern website can, or lock to a screen width/height etc for a fixed wall mounted controller so I don't get random scrollbars on some screens.

And more control over things like tap and hold actions. it's almost impossible for me to use tap and hold on my main wall mounted display for example, if I move by a single pixel it doesn't react, I'd like to set the deadzone and delay time for that for example.

Agreed but unlikely for at least a few more years. 500/200 is where I'd be happy but that's $250 ish at the moment.

The original plan to run it as a public service was very quickly shot down.

I'll really annoy you by saying that VDSL2 (the tech you are using) supports up to around 250mbit throughput but no Aussie ISP has enabled that option. Your modem probably already supports it because its a pretty old standard.

Enjoy, have a nice day.

Artificial limitations to separate residential connections from business connections.

Also, the CVC system is partly to blame.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 11 months ago (7 children)

Likely all of it as it is a no-cost change at the wholesale end, but of course it's an excuse to reshuffle the pricing brackets and adjust CVC to cut costs and increase profits.

It looks like the current top 1000/50 tier might get a bump up to 1000/100 though.

Um. You got a picture of that plugged into the tv?

I've never seen that on the LGs I've seen, and I'm an AV technician.

There was a panasonic (I think it was them) that had a Displayport connection, but that didn't last.

I suspect HDMI threatened to cut their licence if they kept putting DP on the TVs.

Woo, Aussie band!
