  @accent_trace @ktdenise I think I had a minor mental glitch I did the calc using 24 months out of habbit, so yeah it’s more like only 500 a year cheaper, still hard to find an actual benefit to Optus/Telstra’s over priced plans. 10 years ago, you’d get an iPhone and service for $40 a month.

  @DarkWebInformer Australia since Optus data breach, has been the best place to do hacking. Seriously, companies here are dumb as ****, people in power that should know better, have IQ of a potato 🤦 Idk how they get hired, Australians data will continue being leaked left and right 🤦

  @disco___cat Just so stupid, every risk and effect of this policy ignored with boomer belligerence. Basically an Optus breach 2.0 waiting to happen. Sad thing is we'll never learn

  @AlboMP I paid Optus ~$40 every month for a full year, and now I couldn’t able to cancel my SIM service. It’s incredibly frustrating and unnecessarily difficult. Services should make it easy to cancel if you’re not happy with them - not trap customers like this. Optus, sort this out! 💸😤

  @Optus It’s an insane state of affairs that Optus now has to specify “but this time we didn’t let any of our customers pass away by denying them the right to call emergency services”. Crazy that no other telco has ever needed to clarify that

  @zanofc @footyindustryAU Not really, Perth couldn’t sell out the opener at OPTUS stadium anyway, what makes you think they’ll get more against North Korea? Honestly, the atmosphere is crap being a rectangle ground at a round stadium. HBF will be 100% better and the players will enjoy it too

  @joshmatz @erayyocak @Al_Grigor Plenty of recent ones from human config changes on ****: - Optus (Nov 2025): Wrong firewall upgrade process selected → nationwide outage, hours of downtime. - Cloudflare (Nov 18 2025): Single config error hit ~20% of global traffic, knocking out X, Uber, etc. - Asana (Feb 2025): Config change overloaded logs, causing server restarts and service disruption. Human error (esp. misconfigs) is still the #1 outage root cause industry-wide per Uptime Institute & ThousandEyes reports. AI isn't unique here.
