@TimSweeneyEpic @EpicGames @UnrealEngine When trying to install anything from Epic Launcher, the download speed is "slow" it can't saturate my 1Gbps connection over fibre, I think it's because instead of serving via an AUS CDN you are routing traffic to UK? (@fastly)

@SAPowerNetworks I am aware of why it may exist, my point is its perhaps too aggressive. it may even seem to be a intentional attempt at discouraging reporting.

@NickITGuy Thanks for sharing your feedback. We highlight the no supply fee to encourage customers to check their switches first, as many issues are internal. This helps us reduce unnecessary callouts and ensures a more efficient resolution process. ^Tash

@SAPowerNetworks Hi, I'd like to provide some feedback, regarding the reporting an outage process on SAPNs website. The wording after completing the numerous tests SAPN wants done to report an issue, is uncomforting and may disincline an individual from completing their report.

Our power came back but I didn't end up reporting the issue (it seems someone else did because the outage showed up a couple minutes later) I think that the language could be edited to seem less aggressive.

@IllusionMH @zacbowden I also feel investment priority matters, when there's still different UIs in Windows 11 its a bit grating to see them invest so much to get these AI features integrated. One wonders if they spent a fraction of that money on UI unification how windows would look and feel.

@zacbowden I think that people who vocal on Twitter don't like how it's changing for worse for them - "don't move my cheese", while majority doesn't care. I have enough AI in GitHub Copilot or in Bing chat. I don't need smart AF OS that losses useful features instead without replacement.

I'm quite surprised at the overwhelmingly negative response this news is getting. Are people not a fan of Windows Copilot?

@PMalinauskasMP Premier, can you provide any information for the amount of new housing trust homes being built by your government?

Today we had the inaugural SA Housing Authority staff forum - an opportunity to discuss our comprehensive public housing policies with staff. Thank you to all the staff who have been working hard to provide more housing for South Australians.

@AboutTheHouse Ah just figured out, its expired if you dont have www in the URL, so aph.gov.au works but not aph.gov.au

@AboutTheHouse Hello, aph.gov.au is down for me due to your ssl cert expiring, can you advise when the fix is expected?

@JenMsft Hi Jen, On windows 11 my searchbar for the microsoft store seems to have disappeared, any idea why? aka.ms/AAnjny5

@asn4764 Excellent news from Aussie, I am also interested in the service quality section of the SAU, Does Aussie have any thoughts regarding service quality from the NBN in the SAU?

Big news this week in the world of broadband, with the new variations of nbn®'s Special Access Undertaking. We’ve got some thoughts here at Aussie, expressed by none better than our Managing Director Phil Britt: aubb.me/nbnsauoped

@QLDCountryGP @bennyb082 @AlboMP @PMalinauskasMP @Mark_Butler_MP If keeping them out of hospital, it's definitely doing something then, I agree there should be much more. But if it relives pressures on already strained public hospitals that's good, I hope?

@NickITGuy @bennyb082 @AlboMP @PMalinauskasMP @Mark_Butler_MP They only do urgent care. There still won't be bulk-billing for all the long-term care than people actually need to keep them healthy and out of hospital. These are trinkets to dupe people into thinking they're doing something.

We’re making it easier for Australians to see a doctor. Today, with @PMalinauskasMP and @Mark_Butler_MP, we’re announcing four new free Medicare Urgent Care Clinics in South Australia. We’re rolling out more in every state and territory.

@bennyb082 @AlboMP @PMalinauskasMP @Mark_Butler_MP the announcement was for urgent care clinics in South Australia, there are more for other parts of the country, the need for urgent care clinics is to ensure bulk billing in areas where it's needed, as well to relieve pressure on hospital emergency departments.

@AlboMP @PMalinauskasMP @Mark_Butler_MP 4 free centres doesn't exactly encompass the entirety of Australia now does it? And I'm somewhat curious why federal government is 'rolling out' free medical centres?

Hey @JenMsft do you know anyone I can get in contact with regarding the Windows Xbox (gamepass) app and download errors? keep getting Error 0x87e0000f it happens frequently and when I press resume game starts download and goes for a little bit but then errors again.

@robthrills @PMalinauskasMP Little to no consideration for them at all! Just more pretty colours and fonts and no real action. Typical.

@PMalinauskasMP I’m interested to see the detail, given men account for 75% of suicides and 45-49 is the most at risk group..

South Australia is leading the way in suicide prevention with the launch of the nation’s first legislated Suicide Prevention Plan - launched by the Premier's Advocate for Suicide Prevention, Nadia Clancy.

@asn4764 @Aussie_BB @valvesoftware Great! Is this separate to the steam caches you run?

For all the gamers at @Aussie_BB, we are happy to announce that we just brought up 2x 100G PNIs with @valvesoftware in Sydney

@JenMsft @mercurialblonde I personally didn't like the change either, but for renaming i've learnt to change the muscle memory and just use F2 to shortcut renaming very easy, but for the other options I sometimes still need to hover to double check.

@mercurialblonde Copy and paste are still top level options - they were updated to be icons which should always appear closest to your mouse when you open the menu

Does my head in that Windows 11 has copy and paste functions in the file folder system relegated to "show more options"--these are basic essential functions!

@benhillis :(

WSL 1.3.10 is now available to Windows Insiders with lots of changes: github.com/microsoft/WSL/…

@jasonschreier Did you ask why they decided to charge for the expansion? it's a bit of an ask isn't it to charge us for the game we were promised having already charged us for what was "delivered"?

@DocB__ @PMalinauskasMP @MarkMcGowanMP Last I checked a premier who is in charge of the same government that makes that decision should be accountable. by your view then it wasnt peter malinauskas who threatened to behead it was speirs. :)

I would like to express my sincere thanks to Premier @MarkMcGowanMP who’s announced he’ll be stepping down. For 6 years, he’s served the people of Western Australia with distinction as the Premier of the state. His dedication to public service has spanned for 26 years.
