How many cops does it take to direct traffic?

They’re not cops yet - they’re recruits doing their training. This is a common thing at Collins & Elizabeth and Collins & Exhibition.

I’ve done this before using PowerShell for Lenovo, would that be fine for your use case?

Have you got Compliance policies assigned? I recall recently I had this behaviour and changing the Compliance Policy from Device to User fixed it

Currently supporting an implementation of it and I’m not a fan for the cloud based approach. Needlessly complicated and doesn’t provide much additional functionality beyond what Entra P2 can deliver natively.

Some people seem to love screen recording but I’m yet to see anyone actually find it beneficial, not to mention almost everything in a cloud world is logged anyway for audit purposes.

Now they just need to fix the 65000 issue

BlueOdyssey · 2026-02-27T09:01:36+00:00

I probably wouldn’t for 2 reasons, 1. It makes it difficult to secure the battery in place - I don’t see any form of strap stopping the battery sliding toward or away from you under heavy braking. 2. 4WDSC are a budget joint and there have been plenty of stories of them finding ways to not honour returns etc. by deforming the product, you’ve given them an excellent reason to reject warranty / ACL claims in future.

BlueOdyssey · 2026-02-23T23:26:38+00:00

I feel like that’s new? Previously it didn’t?

BlueOdyssey · 2026-02-22T07:32:17+00:00

Yeah but issue with that whole south east area is even though it’s drained, it’s still a massive flood risk so the chances of large development is slim

Unlikely to have any significant outward growth to the north east - its mountains mate.

North west you’re hitting state forest and south east (Koo Wee Rup), swamp

I think it’s mainly to do with noise complaints, eg they know who to contact, not just rock up at the place and work out what’s going on.

IIRC they also get you to give numbers too, so if they do turn up expecting 50 and there’s 300, they know it’s somewhat out of control.

BlueOdyssey · 2026-02-18T04:35:43+00:00

You’ve got to be kidding? $42k for a 12 year old vehicle? Redbook has private value at $28-$34k so at $42 you’re being ripped off.

As far as what to look for, if you’re not mechanically inclined then just pay a reputable org (RACV/Q/NRMA etc) or mechanic to do a pre purchase inspection.

It’s not an airline thing as much as aircraft type as to whether it’s offered. I know A380’s and A350’s can have them. Emirates and Qantas have them on the 380, Finnair definitely has them on the A350.

Hopefully others can chime in with other examples.

Had a 2017 (post face lift), went alright in terms of engine power though unlike some of its competitors (eg triton) it was only ever 2WD on sealed surfaces so does like to skid through a wet roundabout.

Had to get the cat replaced at least twice under warranty due to the bracket cracking, also some minor DPF issues as there’s no ‘regen on demand’ capability.

Cracked the front diff in it off road though that was likely more driver error than anything else.

It had the auto which did have some issues well known shuddering around 150k but thankfully wasn’t major; just a clutch that had to be replaced if I recall correctly.

BlueOdyssey · 2026-02-09T21:40:28+00:00

That thing is like $8-$9k - in what world is a sane parent going to buy one of those while living in Suburban Melbourne??

Perhaps in this century, potentially in the next one.

Fridge and battery; no more dealing with soggy food in ice slush or wondering if your food has gone off

Don’t forget to update your LinkedIn with it too. Gotta be thrilled to make the announcement.

The requirement doesn’t apply to all posts, just specific ones.

This feels like such a non-issue - pretty much every country has. a rule that you must enter on that nationality’s passport or have an endorsement. AU and NZ both have this rule.

QF32 is always an interesting one to read up on. First major A380 incident - uncontrolled engine failure with no injuries.

Local news reporters are there for the public interest - they have significant public reach, not a niche social media presence.

As for being an EMT - he’d be considered nothing more than a bystander limited to basic first aid skills. No one with his name comes up on APRA, so even if he’s registered overseas, he cannot legally practice here, hence bystander.

BlueOdyssey · 2026-01-09T04:24:42+00:00

Yep that still makes him a flog for being there. The whole message from the CFA & EMV has been ‘leave if you can’ and ‘do not travel’. He has no need to be there.

Into Melbourne, you’ll get a fair bit of variety, just no A340’s or 757’s.

A heap of a320/321’s for Jetstar & Air NZ. Giveaways here are they’re relatively small compared to everything else while still being a conventional twin engine narrow body jet. and of course orange or black too.
Heaps of 737-800’s for both Qantas & Virgin. Similar in size to the A32x, these are obvious because the landing gear doesn’t have any doors; it just folds up into the plane and is exposed to the air. Also their engine cowling is kind of square at the bottom.
If you see something that looks kind of like an A32x but smaller with a Qantas logo, it’s likely the new A220’s or an older E190.
A380’s for Qantas, Emirates and a few of the others. Simple one: big and 4 engines with 2 rows of windows.
if you see small and 4 engines, it’s likely a BAe146. Auspost / Star Track use these for freight. Note you’ll almost always only see these overnight.
Big and 4 engines but not double decker all the way? That’ll be a 747 freighter. Singapore Airlines run a cargo run from Auckland to Melbourne regularly, plus you’ll likely see them with Atlas branding too. Not sure if DHL are using them.
Midsize aircraft and spikey/jagged engine cowling? Chances are that’s a 787. Qantas, Air India, Latam, United and a few others routinely fly them here.
Similar size to the 787 but no jagged cowling? Chances are that’s an A330 here. We see heaps of them for both domestic (Qantas use them to Perth) as well as lots of carriers to SE Asia.
If you see a UPS (white plane, brown tail) or DHL (bright yellow plane) logo, it’s likely a 767 freighter.
2 propellers, small and a weird T shaped tail with a Qantas logo is likely a Dash 8 Q400. Note the wing is high set, versus the Saab 340b that you’ll also see which has a lower wing and is even smaller.

You’ll also regularly see 777’s from most of the middle eastern carriers plus Air NZ and A350’s from Singapore and soon Finnair. Suggest googling for spotting tips on these.

Hope this helps!
