  Origin Energy just had 900,000 customers' data breached, joining Optus, Medibank, Qantas and DP World. We treat each as a one-off. A pattern this long stops being bad luck and starts being the cost of collecting data you can't protect. #CyberSecurity #DataBreach

  @KatyKray73 In the event of a global war, data centres will be prioriy targets for bombs, missiles, and emp nukes, because.... These data centres will control everything. Ffs, telstra and optus outages caused enough disruption, imagine a total testra and optus blackout, multiply that by 100

  @hardenuppete @originenergy They should be forced to pay for credit tracking for each customer that has had their account hacked for 12 months like Optus had to with Equifax.

  @KatrinaLarsen Hey, Katrina. We're sorry to hear that your service is currently impacted by an NBN outage. In the instance that your Optus modem that does not facilitate 4G back-up, our teams will look to provide interim support such as the Optus Internet Assistance Kit. This can be posted or collect from your nearest Optus store. If you hold an Optus Prepaid or Postpaid Mobile service, please don't hesitate to send through a Direct Message, and we can look to apply some Mobile Data to support using your Mobile as a Wi-Fi hotspot in the interim. - Dillon

  @primal80124 I got back into collecting christmas 2024 going into 2025 and I had no clue about transformers other than the live action movies. The last time I thought about them was when I was a kid. When I saw Shattered Glass Optimus Prime, I was blown away. Purple is my favorite color He instantly became my favorite. There isnt a SGOP I dont want good, bad, Or ugly. More specific answer to your question is ER SGOP he was my first and I have the most fun fiddling with him. If i had to choose just one it would be MMC Optus Prominon SG

  @johnreader @Optus @optus_help An AI bot would be better than most Optus support I've dealt with tbh!

  Orbital robotics is quietly becoming a real commercial business, not a DARPA demo. Northrop's Mission Robotic Vehicle just launched on a Falcon 9 with two robotic arms and three detachable Mission Extension Pods. In 2027, it will autonomously dock with the Optus satellite at ~27,000 miles up and bolt on a pod to extend its life by 6 years. The Optus bird launched in 2009, designed for 15 years. It's not broken. It just needs propellant. That's the whole thesis here. The business model shift is what stands out. Operators buy and own the MEPs permanently attached to their spacecraft. That frees the MRV to keep servicing other vehicles, more like a mobile repair truck than a dedicated tug. Two MEVs have already delivered 10 years of combined life extension across three customers. The unit economics are starting to close. Autonomous proximity ops at GEO velocities, with no margin for error, is the hard part. Does the MRV's dual-arm approach give it enough dexterity to handle satellites it wasn't originally designed to service?

  @JohnWinstHoward Ah, Optus must think I've still got my data roaming on? ****. Must follow up. Thanks
