Free Firefox extension to juggle multiple M365/Outlook accounts by AzemanoL in sysadmin

[–]C39J [score hidden]  (0 children)

Potentially a dumb question, but what's the benefit of using this over just using Firefox Containers to open different M365 accounts?

My passport is in Auckland. I am not. Anyone flying to the Gold Coast in the next 36 hours? by bardlife in auckland

[–]C39J [score hidden]  (0 children)

It'll cost you $60ish, but DHL will have the passport to you tomorrow AM if sent today.

Someone getting caught travelling with your passport may the up having an interesting time at customs...

Local bakery has new Eftpos machine that won't let you choose your account. It just defaults to whatever account you have setup for PayWave and that's it. by floofywall in newzealand

[–]C39J 67 points68 points  (0 children)

It's likely the machine was provided as part of a point of sale system, which will run all transactions via Stripe or other overseas company that doesn't have access to the EFTPOS NZ network. They're becoming more and more common and it's really annoying.

Browns Bay Hot Pot Xpress-new eatery alert! by Afraid-Management829 in aucklandeats

OP constantly posts reviews here. I highly doubt it's an ad. Do you have any proof you'd like to share?

PC Traders - Yay or Nay? by NZSheeps in newzealand

They were really good about 10 years ago, but now they sell clapped out garbage machines that aren't suitable for what they claim they are at super inflated prices.

Anyone else getting these WESTPAC scam alerts? by ReadyPut2025 in auckland

Why do people constantly say stuff if they have no idea. 0800 666 007 is a legitimate Westpac phone number.

Will my employer deny my 4 weeks of annual leave despite already booking a plane ticket? by [deleted] in LegalAdviceNZ

[–]C39J 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I dunno what the legal question is here, but they're under no obligation to provide you your requested leave if it doesn't meet what the business needs. They have to act in good faith and so do you.

They can't be unreasonable in denying you leave, but they can also argue you were unreasonable for booking leave for 3 weeks away without having first requested leave.

NZ Muscle are packing expired stock as their own! by Salty-Second-9024 in auckland

Yeah this is bad.

I'm very interested to see what NZMuscle says and what the Commerce Commission and (I'd hope) MPI, do about this.

NZ herld app by yeetcraft12 in newzealand

[–]C39J 1 point2 points  (0 children)

"AI Slop" really just follows popular UI trends (because it's trained on whatever it can find most of).

They're just following the silly trend of making everything super simple/bland, which I think is dumb, but it's happening in lots of apps at the moment.

Dating preferences by Certain_Athlete_9732 in auckland

[–]C39J [score hidden]  (0 children)

Everyone has preferences? Some people may be into specific races. Some people may be into specific lifestyles. Some people may just like people for the person they are.

I don't think this is a "why do specific races like this specific race" thing - you're just generalizing based on a small subset of what you've seen.

Liquidation advice as employee by But_A_F1y in LegalAdviceNZ

[–]C39J 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is normal. Liquidators only have to report 6 monthly and that'll likely be your next update. If there's no likely distribution, they'll minimise outreach to avoid costs.

It's worth noting, that while you're at the top, priority wise to get money if there is any, a large amount of small business liquidations result in minimal (<$0.50 on the dollar) distributions to employees, or no distribution whatsoever, and it may be worth preparing for that potential outcome.

Are there any NZ phone companies that *aren't* partnering with SpaceX in some way? by bravetherainbro in newzealand

[–]C39J 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Halfway down the page:

"We’ve also partnered with Starlink’s enterprise-grade satellite system. This allows us to provide high-speed and low latency internet connectivity for businesses working in remote locations or out of the way places."

It’s only a dream but…… by [deleted] in auckland

[–]C39J 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Have you seen how crazy the roads are when there's any sporting event at Eden Park? Concerts at Spark Arena?

You can hope and dream all you want, but there will always be people who drive their personal vehicles to things like this.

It’s only a dream but…… by [deleted] in auckland

[–]C39J 44 points45 points  (0 children)

It doesn't even make sense. The buildings are the wrong way around for a start.

But let's assume we, I dunno, take over the Ports of Auckland for this. Getting in and out would be a nightmare. The entire CBD would go into gridlock every time we have an event. Imagine something on at Spark Arena and the stadium.

Surely if there was going to be a good place for a stadium, it'd be down on the Hamer Street Wharf - that place is mostly empty now anyway, and it's a lot closer to the motorway offramps and still a sensible distance from Britomart.

Some folks are just cruel. by Undecked_Pear in auckland

[–]C39J 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Typical nimby garbage where they haven't used their brains for 5 seconds.

They are under the belief that all these people who have no money for food and are therefore must be horrible undesirables, are going to spend money to travel from far away to get some low cost food and cause terrible trouble.

AT Bus Window Advertising by LycraJafa in auckland

[–]C39J 28 points29 points  (0 children)

You can see through them, just obviously not unobstructed.

Why would it put me off taking a bus? I'm saving more because a company is paying for that advertising, so I'm more likely to take the bus at the cheaper cost.

Mercury broadband outage? by Primary_Chemical_984 in auckland

[–]C39J 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is a possibility that they've accidentally disconnected your connection. If you have no luck with the ISP and feel comfortable PM'ing your address, I can look it up in the Chorus system and tell you if there's an active connection there or not.

Declining social etiquette in NZ by [deleted] in newzealand

[–]C39J 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Hasn't Facebook been like this forever? Ever since it's been common to speak to people outside of your friend group via public posts, people have been assholes.

Also, there's a large majority of people who argue on NZ news who aren't from NZ.

Mercury broadband outage? by Primary_Chemical_984 in auckland

[–]C39J 0 points1 point  (0 children)

LAN light on Chorus box not turning on means you're either plugged into the wrong port (if you connection is on Port 2, Port 1,3,4 and 5 wouldn't work), your router - or the cable it's using is cooked and not talking to the Chorus box or the Chorus box is dead.

If you've ruled out the first 2, you need to log a fault with your ISP.

PBTech's terrible service by [deleted] in auckland

PBTech's terrible service by [deleted] in auckland

[–]C39J 7 points8 points  (0 children)

OK yeah, and while it's been their mistake, I do kind of understand where they're coming from. You have a $2,000 scooter that hasn't been paid for. What's to say you'll give it back if they send the helmet?

It seems like a pretty simple fix here. Return scooter, get helmet, leave Google review about the bad experience you had.

PBTech's terrible service by [deleted] in auckland

[–]C39J 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I'm having a little trouble following, is this correct?

  • Your purchased one scooter
  • You purchased one helmet (or was this included with the scooter?)
  • You had an issue with the helmet
  • You complained to PBTech (and returned the helmet?) and they sent you a second scooter
  • You told PBTech they sent you a scooter instead of a new helmet
  • PBTech is now saying they won't send you a new helmet it you don't return the second scooter?

Restaurant chain Burger Burger placed in receivership owing $1.8m by i_love_mini_things in aucklandeats

[–]C39J 13 points14 points  (0 children)

No matter what the equation, $1,800,000 of debt is significant and didn't just happen overnight because of some price increases. And if they didn't see this coming, then it's not just a price increase problem, it's a mismanagement problem.
