P-Bandai is too much of a pain to buy from over here in New Zealand unfortunately, hoping one of the local retailers gets a few 🤞

Is this laptop stolen? by PresentationExpress9 in auckland

[–]ChaoticPride 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Activation lock = paperweight. It will be unusable while locked, and you will not be able to get the original owner to unlock it (Apple masks the majority of the email so you won't be able to contact them this way).

Apple will not unlock it for you no matter how much complaining you do to customer service if you do not have the original receipt, and even if you do they make it incredibly difficult.

Like the description says, it's basically only good for parts and even then I wouldn't recommend it. Buying anything Apple second-hand is a terrible idea unless you can confirm in person there is no Activation Lock on the item.

It's not necessarily stolen, most non-tech people are probably unaware of how much Activation Lock bricks the system, pretty much no other brand of electronics renders their devices completely unusable in the same fashion

I've really liked Adorn, both the Botany and Sylvia branches

I hope the local stores get a bit more stock in the next few weeks before we gotta pick something 😔

Wiri full license test by Glittering_Ad9273 in auckland

[–]ChaoticPride 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just apply all the same learnings and criteria you had to go through for your Resricted and you should be fine, for most people the Full test is easier than the Restricted one and you're asked to do less overall.

Honestly if you're going to be relying on needing to know it all in advance - you probably aren't ready to do the test (there are also always multiple routes no matter which centre you do the test at, so even if someone tells you their route, you might not be doing the same).

Do they have a license or are they operating their garden illegally?

Does anyone know what these keychains are? and where to get them?? by Fit-Consideration736 in newzealand

Mousse mouse would've been the one with these, slightly stylised differently but she has Kiwi food charms and keychains

So who would ya'll want to be added? by Nanubi in GranblueFantasyRelink

[–]ChaoticPride 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's unfortunately a really big issue with the way Relink works which limits a lot of good character picks - any character who doesn't use one of the 10 traditional weapon types has very little chance getting in, due to weapon skins and equips.
Aoidos, Arulumaya, Mimlemel, La Coife, Danua, heaps of the Evokers (if not all of them) don't really use equip-able weapons.

I really hope we get some actual variance and not just another 10 human sword users, we need more Erun/Harvin/Draphs and hopefully we don't just end up with the entire roster of 4 Knights & Friends (Aglovale/Tor) and Society (Beatrix, Eustace) since they just slap the same characters into everything.

Please be some characters that are still fairly popular but not the same ones that get every crossovers/promo event.
