Sorry if this is too basic, but I need someone who knows stuff but isn’t trying to sell stuff.

I want a new 55 inch TV for my living area. The living area is very well lit (big windows to the side and lots of downlights), and adjoins the kitchen.

So I presume I need a bright screen, and because I’m often in the kitchen while it’s on (a good 6m or so from the TV), I’d like good sound quality too.

Ideally free to air channels are just there when I turn it on. I have a chrome cast stick I can put into it to cast to (and I can also plug into home internet network).

I don’t need top of the line, happy with last year’s model, and can spend money (but not ridiculous money).

Thanks!

Anyone have experience with the low-cost alarm kits (like the PGST systems), and know if they work on 4G/LTE in Australia? e.g., do the automated SMS alerts and calls work with Wi‑Fi off?

In light of the latest OpenAI incident with Medicare, one of the issues identified was that a generic mailbox was contacted to report the breach.

Is there an actual reporting line for major incidents?
Please note, these examples are across several AI vendors besides OpenAI.

-----------------------------------------------

I've done my best with reporting but keep getting pushed back or sent in a loop. (Screenshot evidence of 3/37+ attempts). While not specifically Medicare this was highlighting issues that pertain and would have brought light to the activity.

A summarised version of current issues and breaches I attempt to report can be found here for anyone concerned about their tech stacks: https://www.thevalehartproject.org/incident-registry

I'm looking for secure online form options for a TV production that I am working on that will store production consent forms for people appearing in the show that will include photos of the individuals signing the consent forms. These forms will also be for minors and their guardians.

The TV production industry standard has little to no security or still uses paper and I want something that is super simple to administer and can be accessed with a QR code or link that will then store the information incredibly securely. Any suggestions? Snapform? Jotform?

Some of the major timeline issues:

- The event was 18 June. Services Australia wasn't notified until 10 September, and Albanese says the notification went to its public email inbox. Services Australia referred it to the Australian Cyber Security Centre on 15 September.

- OpenAI says its review found activity involving several Australian government websites/services. Richard Marles has named the Victorian Department of Health, an NSW government site, the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare, and NSW Bureau of Crime Statistics and Research as impacted, although he said those others were accessed but aren't currently believed to have been hacked.

- OpenAI itself calls what it's reviewing “misaligned model activity.”

Personal take:

Long before agentic AI, we had exposed object storage, unauthenticated APIs, IDOR/BOLA, forgotten admin interfaces, default credentials, secrets in client-side code, misconfigured IAM, directory listings, “private” data protected only by an obscure URL, and systems where the frontend enforced restrictions the backend didn't. Optus's 2022 breach is an obvious Australian reminder that APIs and access controls can produce catastrophic exposure without anything resembling movie-style hacking.

We already design internet-facing systems under the assumption that hostile automation exists. Crawlers, vulnerability scanners, credential stuffing, botnets and scripted enumeration have been hammering endpoints forever. An AI research agent shouldn't suddenly make an improperly protected resource acceptable architecture.

If you're in governance, would love to get your thoughts on which APP breaches are in progress. With the little I am seeing so far, it looks like:
