Thursday Evening (7 Comments) (link)  Thursday, 13-February-2020  18:45:35 (GMT +10) - by Agg The Federal Court has ruled that the merger of Vodafone and TPG can go ahead, despite the ACCC's concerns. The ACCC believed TPG would restart a bid to launch itself as a fourth mobile network operator in its own right if the merger with Vodafone did not proceed. The commission maintained that having more - not fewer - mobile networks was better for competition, a view dismissed by the court and criticised by Vodafone.

We've also thrown in the RTX 2060 Super and RX 5700 XT for good measure, but the key takeaway for this article is to see what kind of upgrade the Radeon 5600 XT offers over the GTX 1060 when testing a huge range of games. If you have kids under 5, you might be interested in new guidelines about online safety. A booklet for families offering practical advice and strategies for parents and carers, to tackle the key online safety issues for children from birth to 5 years old. This resource is available online, and additional free printed copies can be ordered by families and services.
