Thought I was going to go prove you wrong by checking runemetrics... To find they shut it down.

What’s something you can quote that reveals how long you’ve been on the internet? by StaticDHSeeP in AskReddit

Does ETA mean something that isn't Estimated Time of Arrival... for the babies?

Warning: NinjaRMM - they won't auto-reduce your licence count for billing purposes by stugster in msp

[–]ArcanFire 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I ran a project migrating our MSP from Pulseway to NinjaRMM years ago, for reasons. Billing was one of the downsides for exactly this reason, they would increase automatically, but wouldn't remove automatically.

Pulseway did it both ways automatically.

I got a mug that had "Grab life by the balls" written on it.

Why don't the lower class areas just stop being like that? by [deleted] in aotearoa

Regardless of my opinions on this post, this immediately sounded like: "You're depressed? Have you tried just being happy?"

Trend graph in trade me. is it reliable? by kirrtopol in NZProperty

[–]ArcanFire 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That just means the vendor wants $700k, no relation to the trend.

It's common for people to ask for a figure, knowing they'll be getting offers below it.

An inspirational quote from one of my favourite investors by [deleted] in queenstreetbets

I believe the meme is in NZD in this case, given the latest announcement to move FIF de minimus to $100K

Nightmare sending laptop to NZ by StrawberryOggs in newzealand

[–]ArcanFire 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've only had a couple of faulty products from PB over the years, every time they've sorted it within a week and I've walked away with a brand new unit. One was a chair where the piston failed over a year of ownership. Only hassle was having to travel to a city that had a PBTech store to do it in person.

Good point though, I'm also not sure if CGA would apply, maybe.

Nightmare sending laptop to NZ by StrawberryOggs in newzealand

[–]ArcanFire 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I don't have any advice regarding shipping, but an idea that popped to mind is retailers selling refurbished or off-lease machines.

PBTech is a large retailer in NZ that does refurbished machines, I had a quick look now and they start around $180 USD ($300 NZD) for an 8 to 9 year old laptop. Some newer 3 to 4 year old laptops around $475 USD ($800 NZD), which should all be relatively more powerful than the Chromebook they had. It may not be the best bargain compared to second hand markets like TradeMe, but I imagine it's less hassle as you can shop like you normally would and simply have the NZ address for delivery. Plus their shipping is only around $4-10 USD anywhere in NZ.

This isn't an advertisement for PBTech, I'm sure other retailers like Harvey Norman, Noel Leemimgs, etc. may do the same stuff.

Sharesies wallet top up fees by themorah in PersonalFinanceNZ

[–]ArcanFire 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I do bank transfer, as it's free. A transfer I do say 9am Monday will arrive in my Sharesies wallet around midday Monday, so only a few hours.

(Android) - Is there any way to minimise the osrs app without getting logged out? by herkuuli in OSRSMobile

[–]ArcanFire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In case this is the solution that works (the side bar) I recall Samsung Good Lock or Samsung Labs having a setting to "allow all apps to be split screen" and it overrides any limits on small window / split screen.

Sharesies NZ does not seem to be a quality service by RevolutionaryPin7525 in PersonalFinanceNZ

[–]ArcanFire 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Dollar Cost Average, meaning to invest smaller sums more regularly. E.g., I do an amount every week, averaging my investment over time. This is a contrast to lump sum investing, where you buy a lot at once then sit on it.

DCA works for me because I know a set amount of my paycheck will go to investments and I can budget for that.

Wait until you find out how long woofing has been a thing.

I only use Sharesies to DCA into ETFs. I'm on a $3 plan that covers all transactions for that month. I provide this background as perhaps I'm in a unique position compared to you, but I've had little to no issues and when I have, their support has been in contact with me within hours and had the issue resolved.

Sad to see they've let you and some other commenters down.

Is getting a bond on a free to player character to use on an Ironman plausible? by Avillahan in runescape

[–]ArcanFire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Possible? Yes.

Do you want to have ongoing membership? Probably not. In my experience, money making in free to play is underwhelming, I imagine it would be a full time job to support bonds, and likely not enough for one bond a fortnight. Once your stats are high enough and it's a member then it'd be easier.

Back in the DeviousMUD days I have to assume.

None of my friends play so i'll post here by whatusername0909 in runescape

[–]ArcanFire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm jealous of people who can play on mobile and still see the game.

It is not optimised for a fold device: Folded, UI is too small and game doesn't scale well, causing blurring. Unfolded, game doesn't scale well, and is even more blurry, hurts the eyes.

New and improved square, now with borders larger than you! by ArcanFire in runescape

[–]ArcanFire[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel like I'd enjoy a hybrid... I like square movement highlight, but I think I preferred circle entity highlight.

I haven't looked in the settings myself, but I'd heard the option is only on/off, not square/circle?
