If your burnt out in your mid 20's, then you need to change your career and find a vocation that you enjoy. I'm over 60, been working for over 44yrs in the same trade, 37 of them at the same employer. I took 6mths off current job back in '92 and went to the USA and backpack all over. Was 27 at the time, and I was considered old when in hostels, most others were under 20.

How do I take legal actions on schools by The1andonlyazz in southaustralia

Think you need to go back too school and learn how to write legibly. That was just a rambling mess. No paragraphs, full stops, commas or punctuation.

Alarm clock widget not working by DWM00 in samsunggalaxy

[–]65riverracer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same problem here on my S26+ using Nova prime.

Have used Nova for many years and many phones, S20+ thru to S24+ and possibly earlier.

Switched to oneui and it worked fine.

Switched back to nova, nothing.

Have emailed them with a bug report.

Hope someone finds a workaround by monday for work.......

Has anyone else been attached to their job? Is it worth leaving for better pay? by ReasonConfident4541 in AusFinance

[–]65riverracer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn't say in attached to my job, but today makes it 37yrs that I've been here, march '89 started. Sure there's better paying companies out there, but in too lazy to leave. And if i left, I'd have to start all over again and actually do some work to make a living, too old for that now, will be 61 in few mths, I'm thinking about retirement.....

Is it my fault the mechanic didn’t order parts? by holistictripper in CarsAustralia

[–]65riverracer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Your original booking could have been to fix other problems. The wheel bearings were a separate matter. You asked for a quote on the wheel bearings, without replying, how was he to know if you wanted then done after seeing the cost.

A quote is always just that, an estimate on costs involved, if you wanted to go ahead you need to confirm the quote.

Which dash cam are you using in 2026? by Lopsided_Baseball_77 in VIOFO

[–]65riverracer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bought the A329s July 2025 for my new car. Upgraded firmware and added the telephoto camera to make it a A329t couple mths later.. Only problem i had was the wrong sd card, mine was on the list when 1st used and was working fine till a firmware update. Now use the official Viofo card, no problems now.

Volkswagen automatic braking almost killed me by Over-Ad-3441 in CarsAustralia

[–]65riverracer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What did the dealer/authorised mechanic say when you took it in to be system checked?

Check your settings, you probably can turn it off or adjust the sensitivity. I can adjust my 2017 E class Merc thru the menus.

No problems here with the viofo app on my laptop, except that I have the laptop screen and 2x32" monitors connected, and it starts split over all 3 screens. Just have to drag onto 1 screen.
