kids teacher just sent this home as part of an assignment he's doing and i want to smash every computer at the school

I don't think I did a post about it here when I started nearly a month ago, but I've started at iTnews as a Senior Tech Journalist. Learning lots of new things and covering tonnes of cool stuff - here's one from this morning :)

Scoop: OpenAI has signed its first ever Australia government contract, quietly inking a deal with Treasury amid the ChatGPT-maker's charm offensive on policymakers.

We had some back and forward on recommending routers with those speeds because they're not too common and are all a bit pricey, but it was mostly about headroom. Up to 11 Gbps will certainly work, and you may be comfortable with as low as 4 Gbps (though I would recommend ethernet between mesh)

Keen on NBN Co's big free speed boosts this September? You might also need a new router To get the best speeds on the new faster plans, your router may need an upgrade too

Not a typo, but more a problem with only having so many words in a magazine format! I recommend 11-19Gbps wireless for optimal NBN 2000 for the sake of over-provisioning throughout the home and future-proofing. We put together a much more in-depth article on the topic on TechRadar:

Trial of tech that could be used to keep Australian under-16s off social media finds some errors ‘inevitable’ Report from age assurance trial finds multiple fallback options may be needed, as communications minister says there is no ‘one size fits all’ solution

I've been waiting for that game for years!! Can't wait to play the full release.
