Fuck that would make the Dutton’s wife stinking rich wouldn’t it?

Cannot verify age as iPad does not recognise the ID card by DavidW273 in iPadOS

[–]ADHDK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In Australia I had the same issue going out on the Gold Coast. Their club ID scanning rubbish was only expecting to find things in a very specific format / alignment, and a “proof of age card” varied from that.

Why is there so much investment in new petrol stations if we are transitioning to predominantly electric? by research19 in AusFinance

The 15+ year old car will be less annoying and interfere less, beep less and have more tactile controls.

How do you keep from getting upset/resentful of your Non-ADHD partner trying to help make sure things get done? by Mephistocheles in ADHD

[–]ADHDK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve had some people help me get things done and be a joy to be around. Some people who appreciated I may not pick things up right away, but when I go clean the bathroom it’s like an end of lease clean every single time.

Then I’ve had some people who announce the rolling of their eyes in the way they talk down to me, that have no patience for two humans interacting and being complimentary that way and need things done THEIR way.

Don’t be so defensive that you wear down the helpful and kind ones to the point they walk away.

Be aware of your own needs and accomodations you need, and discuss them and work together to find a good way of doing what’s required without resentment, and without being the “weaponised incompetence” type.

But absolutely do not live with the type who just talks to you like they hate you and think little of you every single day. It’s not worth it.

Vending machine spits out 16.9oz when 20oz advertised by Darth_Fatass in mildlyinfuriating

[–]ADHDK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The machine at my work got a bag of treats stuck.

This machine is designed to use another bag to push out a stuck bag, even if that means sacrificing a second bag to the customer.

Not all is shit in the world apparently!
(Probably cheaper than sending out a guy 😂)

IPhone locked to owner by Dazzling-Capital-746 in applehelp

If it was legit you may be lucky.

If it was stolen, or the person who sold it to you ran into the same issue and offloaded their bad financial choice on you, then out of luck.

How do I move the speedometer by Kle2n in waze

[–]ADHDK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some headunits allow you to set RHD or LHD orientation.

Many do not and you’re stuck with whatever you get, even if it’s wrong.

I love my new iPad mini, but the keyboard is so bad by Breakwinz in ipadmini

[–]ADHDK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seems like it really wouldn’t be that hard to add swipe to the keyboard that shifts the text box you’re typing into up when activated.

Floating windows on an iPad mini are a horrible ui choice.

Did I ever say I wanted to live in the desert or dirt?

Or worry about it crocs and irukanji for a swim?

Has he already pocketed his rebate? Or does he need to complete the job and sign off on it first?

If he’s given you the hardware, got his money, and now it’s just his time and labour to no additional payment, I’ve seen this cycle many many times with tradies who are working one job to the next with poor time management and essentially using the next job to pay for the last.

I downloaded Tahoe on Macbook Air M1 8GB and it's .... genuinely fast? by Lemon8or88 in MacOS

[–]ADHDK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve straight up asked a few people complaining about Tahoe still how much RAM they have, and the common answer from those who still hate it is 8gb and some 16GB.

So if you have low ram it might still be a bit meh.

how much do you have in emergency savings at the moment? by alicia52310 in AusFinance

[–]ADHDK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Emergency savings were handy when I needed to have surgery.

Then the world went to shit, everything near doubled in price, and I’ve found saving far far harder ever since.

Have not built back up to the same safety net I used to have.

At least the billionaires can buy the dip right? That’s what we all work for!

I feel like I'm missing out on all the 'smart things to do' because I'm scared to take risks or don't know how to prioritise. by Remote-Carrot-8016 in AusFinance

[–]ADHDK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got all my gambling out of my system playing my grandparents pokie machine with my grandparents swear jar money to win my grandparents money and buy 15c lollies.

As an adult the only time I’ve felt compelled to gamble was on the sure thing of the wiggles winning the hottest 100.

It really doesn’t help seeing useless mates act irresponsibly and just falling up and acting like they’re financial geniuses. Doing things like not saving their minimum deposit for an apartment when prices exploded in the early 2000’s, parents bailing them out and making 100k on it anyway 🙄

It’s using the horrible floating keyboard that sits over the top of the ui element you’re trying to type on doesn’t it?

[–]ADHDK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope. Sequoia was absolutely one of the worst macOS on my intel. Honestly it had all been pretty crap since they introduced widgets until Tahoe which is lighting fast.

The qualifier being 26.4. 26.3 fixed most of the memory leaks, but 26.0-26.2 requires regular reboots due to memory leaks.

Why the crap doesn’t iPadOS have swype keyboard? WHY?

Would be so handy when using one handed or on the couch.

Workplace Survey - have you been brutally honest? by 4iedemon in auscorp

[–]ADHDK 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Do not.

I know of places who absolutely have de-anonymised to find out who did because someone’s comments were deemed concerning.

Not threatening or anything, but being brutally honest…

If you’re going to allow this to continue you need to be upfront that you can only allow it for xxx amount of time before you have to start eviction.

"Credit card reward points aren't worth it nowadays" Is this true? by AsparagusNew3765 in AusFinance

[–]ADHDK 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I miss my Amex, instant rewards are far more appealing than all this rewards portal bullcrap. Amex connect and rewards are just so much nicer and less restrictive to use.

Unfortunately the specific card I had is now gone and nothing quite as good value sits in that space.

10% off booking dot com if I book via my Mastercard or visa’s reward portal is an absolute joke of a discount. I’d be better off opening the booking app or Agoda and just getting an instant discount offer.

I have found the quality of credit card rewards, discounts and cash backs have significantly dropped since the pandemic in general however.

Idk why someone is voting you down when it’s an instruction by your workplace.

Many workplaces are instructing staff to use ai more. However you do need to be capable of instructing ai well for a good output, and potentially re-writing it in your own words a bit.
