  @FreedmFightr1 When OPTUS stadium was built in WA originally they wanted to charge obscene prices for crap pies until the backlash. But that's the mindset. Instead of being grateful. They want to milk the supporters DRY!

  @ChinaSelect Australia has had two major telecommunications network failures. As a result of the Telstra failure, three people died, including a baby. One person died as a result of the Optus failure. No infrastructure should have any exposure to foreign adversaries.

  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?

  @cookyourgarden @valuetainment They dont have lowband spectrum in Australia (nor in the US) without doing a deal with existing providers (Telstra & Optus) so dont get your hopes up. The spectrum they do have is mid band and would require phone manufacturers to support it, also needs a clear path to the sky to work.

  @ellensandell Poor demented greens, Telstra, Optus etc have had Data Centers around the place for years.

  @6bretto9 I’m worried hawks won’t go deep in the finals as the first game for us if we stay 4th we have to play Freo at Optus and that sucks

  @jazzpk Australia switched off its 3G network in 2024, since then Jazz IR roaming stopped working in Australia. Community raised it many times with Jazz, to always receive a reply to adjust network settings to no avail. Please talk with Singtel/Optus to restore Jazz IR in Australia.

  @Azstro2 @AJG_87 his decision to put murdock on whitfield (noting some bad umpiring in favour of west coast too) led to them beating gws at optus lol he’s not doing nothing

  @aidancellini4 @zerohanger I have never once seen a game at optus (or any other stadium) sell tickets for $35 unless you’re a child lmao
