  AusAlert cost ~$130 million to rollout. A 13x increase from the $10m initial budget. Here are the known costs and estimates: $10m Initial Planning Taskforce $60-70m Carrier access tolls (Telstra, Optus, TPG) $30m Security architecture & hardening $20-25m Foreign hardware + offshore managed services $5-10m Public awareness, testing & administration Want to know how each allocation is spent? Too bad. Contractors and government use "Commercial-in-Confidence" clauses to keep specific commercial margins and costs hidden from the public eye. A 1300% blowout with no accountability.

  @blu_boys @Optus Switch to Amaysim. Half the price still on the Optus network. You can take your phone numbers.

  Further update, Mum was just on the phone with Optus and apparently Optus (an internet provider) isn’t able to call NBN to fix this, they can only text message them. Or at least that’s the line they are spitting out about the network degradations DO YOUR JOB!!!

  @Optus The advise didn't help. Can @Optus explain why already logged in users still need to do identify verification form as well as verification code. What security concerns the process actually addresses? Compared with putting unnecessary burden and waste time for users.

  @JordanTHFCFFC Freo is in trouble anyway. They need Brisbane in the 1/4 game so they can beat them at Optus. If they play anywhere else Brisbanes big game players will win it so they need to hope someone can knock the lions off

  Everyone leaves Cursor for refactors. They lose the 3x speed. One founder shipped $12k MRR in nine days using only Cursor + Grok 4.6. Daily Workflow starts inside the file. Open the file inside Cursor. Feed the exact three-line Prompt Patterns straight to inline Grok. Rewrite only the current sentence before moving on. Most still paste stack traces into ChatGPT and kill the flow. That alone eats 30% of refactor time. Grok 4.6 beats Claude Optus on large refactors because you never exit the codebase. Counterintuitive tip: stay sentence-by-sentence instead of dumping the whole function. What slowed your last refactor most?
