A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

The silver lining is that people will now not be so quick to shift to a cashless society. ABC radio had some wanker from ANU pushing that a couple of months ago on several programs but he failed to bring up the issues of privacy and removing the control from RBA to control the money supply.

Being cashless isn't the problem- poor systems by businesses is.

As of tomorrow, businesses are going to start building in redundancy rather than relying on one network
