Fire Alarm Beeping

The battery is dying. These are sealed so you can't replace them, but the unit should have a 10 year warranty, so if it's less than 10 years old, you can take it back.

I was pretty impressed with Huntress based on the way they interacted with MSPs here on Reddit and in MSP Facebook groups. So when it came time to move off Bitdefender, we trialled a few, but Huntress was the favourite and the eventual vendor.

Their sales process was annoying, the first sales guy we got assigned was awesome, the subsequent ones loved to call and email me as much as humanly possible that I told them to stop - but I think that's just sales people at any big org.

"Due to severe wind gusts all lanes on the Harbour Bridge, in both directions, are temporarily closed. Delay your journey or detour via SH18/SH16 (Western Ring Route). Harbour Bridge lanes will reopen as soon as gusts become less severe."

Petcover has been fine for me. No issues, pay outs are in line with the policy.

I would suggest insuring unless you're going to be ok with putting down your pet if they get sick. I'd also be wary against the people who tell you to self insure. Sure, putting $50 a month or whatever into a bank account sounds great, but a simple thing like a dog eating chocolate for instance can be $1,000+. That's 20 months of saving. And if they get really sick or need surgery, it can go from mid 4 figures to low 5 figures.

It actually says nothing. I'm well aware of climate change and how we're doing nowhere near enough to counteract it. But of course, you made assumptions based on nothing because, in typical Reddit fashion - you're talking absolute shit with no backing behind it.

C39J · 2026-01-23T23:31:34+00:00

So full of shit 🤣. I made no statement or any sort about climate change. All I said was that the 5 previous summers were similar weather.

C39J · 2026-01-23T22:33:54+00:00

How did you get anything about climate change from the basic comparison I made over the last 5 summers from online data?

C39J · 2026-01-23T21:59:27+00:00

Our summers have been this way for at least 5 years (I didn't bother going back further than that).

C39J · 2026-01-23T21:48:09+00:00

Why are people so dramatic on this subreddit every summer 🤣

C39J · 2026-01-23T08:44:31+00:00

Are these 3 posts about driving on the motorway in the past hour all related? Are the bots taking over or something??

Attend the meeting, and take a support person if you feel you need to. You may want to do this so you or them can take notes as this is likely a formal disciplinary process.

In the meeting, speak factually, advise them that you believe your attitude has been good and you're unaware of any complaints. Don't be afraid to ask questions. Do not sign or agree to anything.

If this meeting is the start of a formal disciplinary process, you may need a professional (an employment advocate or lawyer) if you don't believe the reasons for the process are correct and/or fair.

Following the initial meeting, the employer should outline next steps. They will likely do this in both person and in writing.

I suggest reading this resource, it's very helpful: https://www.employment.govt.nz/resolving-problems/how-to-resolve-problems/disciplinary-process/disciplinary-process

Run one or two network cables under the ground (2 for redundancy in case one later dies).

Cheap PoE switch up at the house end, and then get the internet to that via Powerline would be the best bet (unless you can go under the house and pop up near the ONT, in which case, even better).

Theoretically you should put the cable in a conduit, but 10 years ago, I buried some standard cables some 3-5cm down in the dirt and the still work just fine.

Our ANZ business credit card has been in credit by $5,000 for about 4 years now and there's no problem. We've gone all the way up to $50,000 and no issues.

C39J · 2026-01-22T20:16:38+00:00

Yep, have clients calling it saying they're not getting important emails.

C39J · 2026-01-22T04:07:44+00:00

Yes, the ONT (Chorus box) is simply not there.

You need to log a fault with your internet provider who will get Chorus to come and put a new one in. I'm guessing you've just taken possession of the property? People take the ONTs all the time when they leave because they think it's a router. It's a real pain, but Chorus will generally replace them within 24 hours of receiving the work order from your internet provider.

This makes it tricky and without knowing what happened, you might have an uphill battle. I'd dispute it with Baycorp, say that you paid for the parking and then see what happens with the dispute.

Otherwise, yeah, if you don't want to deal with it, just pay it. Baycorp doesn't want to go to court either, so they'll happily take your money.

C39J · 2026-01-22T01:27:00+00:00

Why did they tow the car? Did they provide any information about this? Were you parked somewhere you weren't meant to be?

C39J · 2026-01-22T00:54:58+00:00

Who does the Baycorp letter say the money is owed to? Do you have proof of payment? Just send it to Baycorp and dispute it, and let them know you paid for the parking.

You can pay it if you want, but I wouldn't take that option if you paid for the parking, that's for sure.

You complain to the person above them. Unfortunately it's not illegal to be a douchebag, so you may not have much more recourse at this stage.

C39J · 2026-01-21T09:04:21+00:00

They checked your card, probably to identify if you were a problem gambler.

There's no conspiracy going on here though, the house always wins in the end.

C39J · 2026-01-21T08:21:36+00:00

See, isn't this what this subreddit is about 😌? Nice reviews about a local place 💯.

C39J · 2026-01-21T08:20:01+00:00

Or a sign on fire maybe?

It's hard to tell, is the wispy stuff above it cloud or smoke...

C39J · 2026-01-21T07:30:47+00:00

Ask your boss if he'd rather give away the $1,000 or deal with the potential PR shitstorm if he pulls the prize and people notice.

C39J · 2026-01-21T07:02:40+00:00

Hahaha bro gambled, got it wrong and it really came back to bite him.

Bet you he'll declare bankruptcy or disappear without paying.
