Given this is in Australia, I’d have thought that a threat to enforce your rights under the Australian Consumer Law[1] would get some action from the manufacturer.

Essentially, there’s a statutory warranty that exists regardless of any warranty term quoted by the manufacturer, and the manufacturer is on the hook if the product is not fit for purpose or sufficiently “durable”.

A lot of the usual misconceptions about KYC in here (that you need ID, or how the government insists KYC is implemented).

I find Patrick McKenzie’s (patio11) deep dive into KYC [1] useful to understand more of why KYC exists and what is and isn’t in the law.

Red Hat built it in RHEV (or rather, bought it from Qumranet and rebuilt the .net in JBoss), but struggled in the market. They had an arguably better product than VMware, and better pricing, but VMware customers were hard to move, and Microsoft priced Hyper-V for Windows guests at cheaper than free.

I couldn’t see the article past the full screen autoplay video, so I’ll have to take your word that there was any relevant content in that page.

Are you thinking of Augeas? That was a project inside RH to parse nearly every config found in /etc, and be able to view and modify them all from a standard API.

The Docker daemon (likely the HyperKit VM) on the Mac has a tendency to burn CPU cycles, even when there are no containers running. It's pretty common for it to sit at 10-20% of a core all day, and sometimes gets pegged at 100% until you quit.

There are countless closed issues in the GitHub issue tracker [1] for similar issues, but the symptoms don't seem to go away for me or many of my colleagues.

It's been a pretty awful experience on Mac for a long time, so any competition is surely welcome.

An Australian comic author has written an easy to understand comic about exactly this. Let Dennis the election koala explain it, with a worked example: https://www.chickennation.com/voting/

The name is interesting. The connotations for me are of either something in the justice system, or something oddly religious. I’d never have guessed that it was b2b related.

What’s the story behind it?

A captain in the Australian Army in 2018/19 earns between AUD$70,334 and AUD$130,704. Armed services salaries are tax-free, so that's not a terrible salary compared to the median in Australia of ~AUD$85k before tax or ~$65k after tax.
