I have the same problem with shirts. If it fits across my chest it's too short, if it fits length wise it is baggy across chest and stomach.

Recently I found a brand that offers a extra long sizes. Eg if the sizes are Small, medium and large they offer small+, medium+, large+. The only difference is the cut is 5 cm longer.

And other Chinese brands!. The MG4 is super popular in Australia too. Can get it for about $38k AUD ($25k USD).

Even if Tesla wasn't tarnished by association with Musk, they have absolutely nothing at the budget end of the market. ie for buyers that traditionally bought corollas, little Mazdas and Hyundai's.

And BYD has the whole range, if I want a luxury sedan the BYD Seal goes toe to toe with the model 3.

I think China is going to eat everyone's lunch here in the same way Japan did in the 70s/80s, and Korea went in even cheaper in the 90s and 00s (how many Hyundai Excels/Accents were there in Australia in late 90s early 00s).

The PS5 SKUs with a disk drive are staying the same.

What SKU still has a disk drive? I thought both the slim and pro were optical disk-less?

Chinese brands are dominating the Australian EV market. BYD has a multiple compelling options, MG with their MG4.

If my car was written off tomorrow I'd be test driving a BYD.

I'm not even aware of any American EV here despite a recently strong presence in the yank tank market (eg Ford ranger).

I always thought you at it like an Apple like then Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott did not just once, but two occasions. One example

And this man is the pinnacle of manliness

One of the biggest bottlenecks in many workloads is latency. Cache miss and the CPU stalls waiting for main memory. Flash storage, even on an nvme bus is two orders of magnitude slower than ram.

For example L3 cache takes approximately 10-20 nano seconds, ram takes closer to 100 nano seconds, nvme flash is more than 10,000 nano seconds (>10 microseconds).

Depending on your age you may remember the transition from hard drives to ssds. They could make a machine feel much snappier. Early PC ssds weren't significantly faster throughput than hard drives (many now are even slower writing when they run out of SLC cache), what they were is significantly lower latency.

As an aside, Intel and Microns 3d xpoint was super interesting technically. It was capable of < 5000 nano seconds in early generation parts, meaning it sat in between DDR ram and flash.

Gigabytes plural? Maybe a while. Gigabyte singular? Already a thing. AMD EPYC 9684X(https://www.amd.com/en/products/processors/server/epyc/4th-generation-9004-and-8004-series/amd-epyc-9684x.html)

I think "long covid" is something that has existed for a long time, well not long covid specifically but long term side effects of colds and flu.

A few years before covid I got a terrible cold or flu. Name a symptom of the flu and I probably had it, it was hard to even get myself to the toilet.

But what was so unique is even after the aches, the cough, and sore throat etc symptoms disappeared I didn't recover. I was exhausted. Even weeks later I'd fluctuate between days of being fine to the next barely able to get out of bed.

It took at least 3 months after traditional flu symptoms had finished till that started to taper off. And at least another 3 before I started feeling truly myself again.

I never had one (but did want one, just financially couldn't justify it at the time), but it would have a great fit for me. I just wanted a watch to tell the time, and display my phone notifications plus vibrate to alert me to them. That would have been legitimately useful for the job I was in at the time which was challenging to carry a phone (but it was nearby in my bag).

Now, I have no use for any of that. But I am now interested in a heart rate monitor that doesn't hoover my data to replace my old dedicated Polar heart rate monitor (which also told the time, but I only wore it exercising), so the more expensive model is tempting!

This is one of my motivations for dumping my games and modding my consoles. Pull out Wii sports and it doesn't work? No problems I'll run it off usb.

Appropriate callback too given the pun.

To add another example to your great post.

And when there are exceptions, they are based on the type of good. Eg in Australia GST isn't charged on fresh fruit and vegetables in a grocery store. It doesn't matter whether an orange was grown in Australia or internationally it will be tax free.

Whereas with a tariff, a orange grown locally will be tax exempt whereas the imported one (from a tariff applied country) will.
