Kangaroos are the clear winner in my experience, but we've also got possums and various parrots (e.g. sulphur crested cockatoos). Wombats too but they're less common to see.

Canberra actually - it's an old dairy building that's part of Duntroon (one of the original homesteads of the region but more well known for being where RMC/ADFA is). It pre dates Canberra by a good bit though since development of the city only really began to gain traction in the 1920s.

The oldest extant building is circa 1832, so ~192 years old - not much compared to some places but doing well for an Australian building.

I would be reasonably confident in offline games running in 20 years if you bought the cartridges, if you bought the estore versions I would be significantly less confident.

The majority of cars don't have a warning for low oil levels, the sensor for that has historically been the owner checking the dipstick. Oil level sensors are becoming more common now as more models appear with them but are still not ubiquitous even in brand new cars.

The oil warning light in most cars is for low oil pressure, and if that one comes on it's time to pull over immediately and hope you managed to turn the engine off in time to save the bearings.

GPS tech is definitely decades old, I could dig out a couple of handheld units I have in a box that would qualify for that distinction (circa 2000) and those were a few models into what was available to consumers let alone unis and governments.

Using that specific application for decades is more of a stretch, but technically possible if you count all Mapfactor navigation and they first used it on a PC (released 2002 apparently). Even on mobile devices it's not that far off qualifying as possible though (released 2007 on Windows CE so 16 years).

That's how you can tell he's a real tech guy, he takes backups so seriously that even his hoodie gets one.

I have my firstname@lastname.email for my primary after deciding to try and reduce my reliance on gmail, that can get good reactions.

I bought ymous.[tld] deliberately to have anon@ymous.tld as a functioning joke email for when places request one, though amusingly the reason I didn't say which tld is that it's not one which allows whois masking so it's really not anonymous at all...

Similarly putting stuff in the upper right is just asshole design for those of us who are left handed, unfortunately that's relatively common.

How pervasive surveillance and tracking of people (and their data) is in todays society. We've become accustomed to it but I'd bet people a century ago would be shocked at the idea of stuff like regular people being filmed from multiple angles when just going to the shops, having a device in their pocket constantly recording their location, receiving targeted advertising based on what information they've looked at previously, etc.

Thanks for the idea, looks like converting them might open up some more options for viewing. I'm only intending to view already created maps rather than creating data so I don't need GIS suite functionality once I get the maps on the phone (really only need geolocation, marker points etc are nice but not necessary), viewing as an OsmAnd layer sounds promising if I could get that to work easily for multiple files.

Two 500gb SSDs for OSs and stuff I want to load quickly (one drive for Windows, one Linux), and two 1TB HDDs as storage (shared, but primarily used as game storage from Windows).
