“AI sounds like an incredible genius synthesizing the world’s knowledge right up until you ask it about the thing you know about, then it’s an idiot.” — Dave Rupert

Is this product 'human made'? The race to establish AI-free logo

The backlash to the growing use of the tech has led to an explosion in attempts to come up with 'AI-Free' logo that could be used globally.

We're looking to buy a flail mower (slagleklipper, klepelmaaier) and found Deleks.

Their products look decent and compared to others prices are even more so. It's a stretch but maybe someone has experience with them and is willing to share their opinion?

edit: We decided not to buy a flail mower. As to #Deleks specifically: quality appears "random". Mainly it's warranty service that would worry me as it is reported to be bad.

Seven charts that reveal how unprepared Australia was for the (fossil) fuel crisis

"It’s worth pointing out that the International Energy Agency (IEA) requires all member countries which are net importers of oil and oil products (including Australia) to maintain reserves equivalent to at least 90 days of imports."

"We’ve never fulfilled that requirement, and in fact have the lowest reserves by this measure among all IEA countries." >>

The 'petrol crisis' is not noticeable around here, it is the same speeding and idling behaviour as before.

Seven charts that reveal how unprepared Australia was for the fuel crisis

Disruptions to Middle East oil shipments have rippled along the world’s longest supply chain, through Asia, and finally to Australia – and there’s no knowing when the pressure will ease
