Gamers have been contacting my office
Gamers have been contacting my office about being locked out of their accounts and the genuine anxiety this has caused, so I took it to the eSafety Commissioner in Estimates. eSafety agrees it’s not fair and will keep my office updated as they push Steam for better options.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Steam does not lock users out of their accounts. It restricts only R18+ store pages and new mature purchases behind credit card verification for Australian users; libraries, existing games and other features remain accessible.

Wikipedia founder question settled once and for all? (with @rgcooke)
The Apple smart glasses look tackier than I expected them to. That camera in the middle is going to be disconcerting. Cyclopes ass

I don’t see what’s wrong with a fox guarding a henhouse. They have the deepest understanding of the threat posed by foxes

Yes, jellyfish DJ’d the “opening set” at #GoogleIO this year. 🪼Let’s dive in 🌊
We partnered with Monterey Bay Aquarium to build a generative music experiment where moon jellies, live-streamed from their home at the aquarium, controlled music made by Lyria 3.
The jellies were tracked by a lightweight object detection model running on a tiny Coral NPU housed on a Synaptics Coralboard — the same type of object detection model used to power conservation efforts in the Great Barrier Reef.
The Coralboard sent the jellies’ coordinates to our music generation engine. Each quadrant of the screen represented an instrument — drums, bass, chords or melody. The number of jellies in each quadrant determined the weighting of those sounds, translating their movements into music.
Stoked that my little jellyfish ambient music thing opened google I/o, but somehow more proud that my local edge version end up a demo project for the new coral boards.
You can put it in your house and it plays ambient music based on the positions of jellyfish in a livestream.
