Not sure why they would open these numbers up for access anyway, a lot of PABXes are programmed to recognize the 555 prefix as bogus and just drop the call without even attempting to dial it over national lines

Hard to believe this when our supermarket giants (Coles, Woolworths) are posting record billions in profits.

They aren't 'hard done by'. They make money hand over fist.

I have tried for years to self host my email, but finding an upstream SMTP server that will accept your custom domain is pretty much impossible these days. Plus a lot of mainstream servers (Gmail, Hotmail etc.) block pretty much everything except mail sent from another mainstream account.

Every time I have tried, I get back SMTP responses that my domain isn't trusted, my IP is not trusted enough or they just blackhole my traffic.

This article sums it up well:

We also use way more than just our eyes to navigate. We have accelerometers (ear canals), pressure sensors (touch), Doppler sensors (ears) to augment how we get around. It was a fools errand to try and figure everything out just with cameras.

Tale as old as time.

Engineers: "This is possible but we will need to equip every car with an expensive sensor suite"

Management: "So you're saying we can just remove the sensors and figure it out with your engineering magic, you guys are really good at that, you got my iPhone connected to ICloud so you must be reeeally good with technology."

Engineers: "..."

Management: "Also, anyone not up to this task is fired."
