Tim McMahon (@_TimMcMahon) reported from Melbourne, Victoria@vertikar @NBN_Australia @Telstra The irony in Telstra workers having Optus and Vodafone services for continuity just in case nbn and Telstra mobile go down. π¬

β¨ Miss Natski β¨ (@Natski82) reported from Melbourne, Victoria@Jane_L_Kennedy @Telstra And of course he believed it, afterall, the people at telstra told him the NBN called. 6 hours they kept him on the phone and ended up costing my dad $19,000. Absolutely ridiculous and when he called telstra, they didn't give a ****. Switched to optus. Safer /3

Tony Margaritis (@sthmel) reported from Melbourne, Victoria@Telstra Quinn, itβs New Yearβs Eve, cut me some slack, you are asking me to go to some other get help chat section? For what? Iβve done my bit. I am notifying Telstra that Brighton has practically no data, deal with it, we pay premium prices for this crap. HNY π

More recently it related to a scam and I had to ask that I not be handed to someone else as it was in their areaβ¦meant having to retype the message. Speaking to someone better

Danial Smith (@daniel2509) reported from Melbourne, Victoria@Telstra I sent a request via the app but nothing so I took it straight to Samsung and it seems the video and multiple forum post is not enough for them to admit their s22 range has this issue. They want it sent for analysis and repair before considering a refund.

Kate (@Kate_B_Melb) reported from Melbourne, Victoria@beourmate can we have an update please for those in Melbourne who donβt have Facebook. Iβm generally a bit of a doormat but even I am frustrated and grouchy and upset. 1st world problems and all that - but there is really no excuse in 2023. Canβt you piggyback off Telstra??

Glenn Hampson π’ (@GlennHampson) reported from Melbourne, Victoria@PieNorthern Not a bad patch I had a mate who lived and worked up there for Telstra as a linie and he stayed there for decades.

Nikki Clare (@Niksterisms) reported from Melbourne, Victoria@maesy5 @Telstra Yep! 100% I donβt even bother anymore. Itβs frustrating and such a waste of time. Apparently it dropping out consistently is no issue. I think weβve all been taken for a ride on this.

Thanks for coming (@VeteranDave) reported from Melbourne, VictoriaAsking for @telstra help from my Twitter friends. I wasted 3 hours with their help service on Friday. Cannot view Kayo footy because download speed is too slow. Recent occurrences. My question. HTF do you get someone to come to your house and fix it? Is that still possible? π‘

Clare Murphy (@ClareAliceMurph) reported from Melbourne, Victoria@erinwatsonlynn @MrTimCallanan @Telstra Right?! Funnily enough, that info didnβt help explain why they disconnected the service or couldnβt reconnect it.

Mo Syed (@msyed_) reportedWhen ChatGPT Beats High-Priced Lawyers in Court 1/9 A Sydney uni lecturer just beat a universityβs legal team in court using ChatGPT. Telstra bumped its CEOβs pay right after cutting jobs and crashing the network. And researchers found a way to hack a Boeing 737 with a device the size of a 20-cent coin. Here is the tech news that actually matters this week π§΅π 2/9 Greg Baker, an IT lecturer at Macquarie University, took on his employer at the Fair Work Commission over new casual conversion rules. The university brought trained lawyers. Baker brought ChatGPT. The tribunal ruled in his favour, handing him a permanent part-time role in a historic test of untested employment laws. 3/9 This is why people get excited about everyday AI. Hiring a workplace lawyer to fight an employer costs thousands before you even walk through the door. An LLM can comb through legislation, draft arguments, and help someone represent themselves without spending a fortune. The real shift isn't AI replacing judges. It's giving ordinary workers the legal firepower usually reserved for big HR departments. 4/9 Anthropic confirmed Claude will soon add invisible watermarks to text and files to meet EU rules. The watermark stays attached even after you copy, paste, or tweak the wording. Some users are already cancelling subscriptions over it. Nobody wants to hand in a report they spent hours editing only for an automated filter to flag the entire thing as machine-written. 5/9 Telstra decided to give its CEO a base pay bump. The timing is wild: β’ A massive nationwide network outage in July β’ 1,200 staff cut across the year β’ A slump in top-line revenue β’ Threats to freeze regional mobile investments if the ACCC pushes for domestic roaming Corporate boards have an incredible ability to read the room completely backwards. 6/9 A routine "system update" triggered a major Mastercard outage across Australia this week. Shoppers got stuck at checkouts with full trolleys and tap-and-go cards declining everywhere. We keep pushing towards a cashless economy, but our payment rails fall over whenever someone pushes the wrong configuration file. 7/9 Security researchers proved they could compromise a Boeing 737 using a coin-sized hardware device. It took them roughly 60 seconds to gain access. Physical plane safety used to be about rivets and engines. Modern aviation is networks, firmware, and bus architectures. If you can physically plug into a port, the jet is just another computer with wings. 8/9 Retailers are now testing facial recognition scans at the register so you can pay for your flat white with your face. It saves about two seconds compared to tapping a phone. In return, a commercial database gets your biometric scan. Hard pass on trading facial geometry for a cappuccino. 9/9 The thread tying all of this together: AI is levelling the playing field for individuals against giant institutions. Meanwhile, critical infrastructure (planes, payments, telcos) is becoming more fragile by the day. Tech works best when it empowers people, not when it creates single points of failure.

David Havyatt (@havyatt) reported@DHughesy Hey mate. Learn some history. Howard also sold Telstra for about $100 billion, but the saving on interest paid is less than the dividend foregoneβ¦.it was a net cost. The Future Fund was established as a special purpose vehicle to fund public service superannuation. 1/2

Johnny (@JohnnyLydon) reportedItβs $250k for 27 years as an mp including 7 years as deputy premier and premier less than half the increase of the Telstra CEOβs $6m annual pay packet. You and the idiot Murphy should just get stuffed.

Baiyang **** (@NJCMLAB) reported@MinotaurStocks In the Q2 conference call, it stated Telstra (Australia) as the new HomeSecure partner. "Third, we secured a new win ---, adding our HomeSecure service in another country. The HomeSecure solution enhances threat protection across the Telstra's ---"
