Granville#AussieResister (@Granville4879) reported from Cairns, Queensland@LesStonehouse @Optus There is, I think I remember correctly, a period of up to 48 hours where a new service replicates across a WAN (wide area network).

Emma’s Last Stand (@EmmasLastStand) reportedMillions of Australians may have had data accessed by “hackers” after Origin Energy confirmed it is investigating a cybersecurity incident. It could be one of the biggest “cyberattacks” Australia has faced following similar strikes on Optus, Medibank and Qantas. Most of the cyber “hacks” on Australian companies have actually been leaks due to incompetent, lazy IT staff—Origin received and email from the “hacker” but because said hacker didn’t reply to questions from Origin, the company pretended it didn’t happen until the hacker contacted the median. As I said, incompetent lazy IT staff.

Ray Finkle (@itsrayfinkle) reportedAusAlert 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.

Robot Cave (@RobotCaveCom) reportedOrbital 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?

Shattered Convoy (@JaceDarkfire) reported@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

Mr J (@warcroft) reported@TimjboAU Remember a week ago when the entire telstea network went down? Remember a month before that when the entire optus/tpg network went down? Now next week we have the entire network government alert thing happening? Yeah, those network outages were 100% preparation for next week.

Jackson (@jackson31619) reportedTrains down in perth so people have to walk? My two times in optus and going to perth thats ridiculous. Having a stadium you can only access by public transport...surely you'd make sure the ******* trains are working #AFLFreoCrows

Ross Vallance (@ross_vallance) reported@blu_boys @Optus If you bank with commonwealth they have a deal with more. It uses the Telstra network, usually 25% off with an already well priced plan.

carl108⚓️ (@c108_c) reported@ImissFrosty Two Vic sides- right? And took a pandemic for said finals to even be at Optus- right? If you just wanna talk ****, have at it. But my point is telling us to learn how to handle hostile crowds at the G is tricky when we get fk all opportunities to do so.
