  @Optus The issue we have is that OPRUS has a history of being hacked and not doing the right thing by its customers so why would I trust you with storing my credit card information and deducting whatever you want? Optus SHOULD MAINTAIN THE OPTION TO ALLOW ITS CUSTOMERS TO POST PAY…

  @ozman024 Even during Ange's 2 seasons of Spurs I used a friend's Optus login.

  I really am angry the LNP rooted the NBN. Now I have to seriously consider Musk’s Starlink for my Internet especially since both Telstra & Optus have & are having issues.

  @m_aryel_len @james00000001 Not true. I was updated. Didn't get it. Partners wasn't updated. He did. Same Optus network.

  @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.

  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!!!

  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?
