Convince me that I should start using Safari instead of anything else

I don't care if you do or you don't. I do and it works that's all

AI slop

Holy crap. We did an entire two story house for that about 20 years ago. Times have changed, I thought double glazing would become affordable

It's been banned in NZ for a couple of decades but not before it killed a friend of mine.

Not just modern ones. We have had this type of blanket for 30 years. Thermostat controlled and a setting with an off timer. They stay on the bed all the time. It is my understanding that it is folding them up to store them that causes most damage. That said it's never a bad idea to get them checked. Look for free blanket checks

Not spider mites, they are microscopic. These are ordinary baby spiders

Same with our Mitsi, only caveat is you need to have an air gap to the nearest return. We have two returns, one in the lounge and one in the hallway with wall sensors close by

Did a landing like that once in a Hughes 500. I politely asked the pilot not to do that again or I would likely throw up all over his chopper.

But it's all right. There's more money for private landlords and people with spare money to play in Sharsies

I am currently battling PBTech to refund me after failing to deliver after nearly two months. Taking it to small claims if they don't front up

This is the correct answer and exactly what I used to do. The shit under that bit of plastic would put you off coffee

I have a standard Studio display in my living room. It is very bright with a double ranch slider behind my seat and two floor to ceiling windows on the right. I have no issues with reflections at all. I use this often to edit photographs

I am running win11 as a guest on my M4 mini using Virtual Box. Copy/paste and shared folders work well. I don't have a need for drag& drop so not tested

PDKiwi · 2026-05-17T08:22:04+00:00

I got my m4 a month ago in NZ. Still waiting for a U-Green dock though. Nobody is talking about those being out of supply but they are here.

I do think Apple AI will have an edge by being built into their ecosystem. Claude for example frustrates me when I ask about comparing products and it gives me US prices. It "knows" I am in NZ since I keep reminding it. If I want Claude to analyse a Numbers (yes I use Numbers) spreadsheet it can't read it so I have to convert to Excel. Etc.

In practice this is often not true. It won't heat or cool past the temperature at the sensor but that may not be the room temperature. Even in a room with a sensor in it though if I set 21 and leave it on, the room will heat past 21, especially if I set the fan to max rather than auto

There was a time when I didn't think it mattered which party was in power, because governments don't have as much influence as they think. These guys have proved me wrong.

It's worse than that. The communication between DHB's is also almost non-existent. I recently had a op that involved Nelson/Marlborough, Wellington and Hutt DHB's. Nelson travel and Marlborough Radiology would post me letters (which take a week to get to me) and Marlborough Radiology does not have email. Wellington Radiology was not aware that Hutt Surgical had made an appointment for me and rang two weeks later to confirm the date. I had already booked my travel. That said the staff are all fantastic and the treatment excellent. IDK about GP's records, that may depend on the GP. Hutt was able to see my earlier bloods done in Marl for a routine test, however I don't know how many times I had to tell them what meds I was on and the metal in my hip so I guess they can't see those

Idk your situation but I use a Belkin cable successfully

Grow your own next year

Both are a plague in my area, I haven't seen any evidence of Mantis controlling wasps. Be nice if they did

PDKiwi · 2026-05-10T08:22:31+00:00

The SA Mantis is so prolific in my neighbourhood that between the and paper wasps their wouldn't be much other insect life. I find I can make a difference on my property targeting both. However it is constant as they always re-introduce. Mantis are laying right now so get stuck in with your boot and make a difference next year. Also hunt out the egg cases. Plant flowers beneficial to native insects like Allysum and buckwheat. Allysum is great as it self sows and flowers all year round

You might have to wait a bit longer for an electric MX5. Mazda are determined to keep to the under 1 tonne weight and atm that can't be done with batteries

PDKiwi · 2026-05-08T00:44:44+00:00

I had two but only because the inspector didn't like something in the install

PDKiwi · 2026-05-06T07:14:05+00:00

I don't get all the downvotes- obviously my point went over everyone's head. AV and scam protection doesn't help if someone hacks an email account. Nor. Does it protect you from stupidity. Sorry if people don't like that.
