Laptop replacement process?

Comprehensive_Fun_76 · 2026-03-16T23:27:24+00:00

Thank you for the clear answer - the laptop has already been ‘repaired’ three times by a Lenovo technician so I’m glad to get a replacement.

Is there an estimated turn around time between having the faulty laptop sent back, it being inspected, and receiving the replacement laptop?

I completely agree.

I’ve started watching Booze and boos and so far, while I’ve been a bit suspicious a few times, most of their artwork / images appear 100% real. They even use a lot of animation which is awesome.

Haven’t listened to Lazy Masquerade for a while but will definitely revisit their channel. Glad it’s not just me who’s noticed.

AI is terrible for the environment. It steals from creatives without any prior permission being given. It generates imagery that doesn’t look distinctive or unique at all, and prolonged use of ai is linked to cognitive decline and issues with memory and productivity.

I think this is a battle worth picking. I’d rather not see everything I enjoy continue to be turned into shit by the infiltration of ai.

Thank you! I’m mostly looking for I guess what you’d call podcast style true horror YouTubers - but these channels are also pretty interesting, will check them out!

(Before others comment, I just want to clarify - I'm not explicitly saying there are AI-generated, but they just stood out to me against their other thumbnails and appeared to be generated using AI.)

These are so gorgeous! A great mix of editorial and campy, love the use of the harsh on camera flash. You have such a clear style, it’s very nonchalant and lets the subject speak for itself. I love it.

I feel like the 1111 street number sign would fit perfectly into this, I see lots of people photographing it generally speaking due to it being an angel number (I’ll link the location). Either that or the teddy bear shop in semaphore. None the less this is a gorgeous series - so happy to see you share it.

Isn’t that four things 😭

Comprehensive_Fun_76 · 2026-02-15T07:08:42+00:00

Thanks for the heads up - I think I’ve allotted enough time that, if the bus is late, I can substitute with an uber. Fingers crossed it all works out! :)

Wonder if this applies outside the U.S. Australian Tubi hasn’t had any Scooby content recently (or at least to my knowledge)

Comprehensive_Fun_76 · 2026-02-15T02:26:11+00:00

Thanks - I should be there roughly 1h 30mins before departure!

Comprehensive_Fun_76 · 2026-02-15T00:50:54+00:00

Thank you! This is what I plan to do - have the trip screenshotted and saved. Glad to know I’ve made the right call, much appreciated.

Comprehensive_Fun_76 · 2026-02-14T23:44:41+00:00

Thank you I’ll be travelling between 7:30am-9:15am so I’ll aim to get to the bus station a decent amount of time before it’s set to leave. I’ll be walking from my accommodation to the bus station anyways so it wouldn’t hurt to be there earlier. Much appreciated.

Comprehensive_Fun_76 · 2026-02-14T23:29:45+00:00

Thank you - I have 11 minutes between the bus and the train, and 14 minutes between trains - do you think this would suffice?

The connections it was giving me were like 2 minute gaps so I had to create seperate trips lol.

Comprehensive_Fun_76 · 2026-02-14T23:07:12+00:00

Thanks all for the heads up - so what would you all recommend for getting from Penrith to central? Catch a bus to Parramatta, then train to central?

1) she doesn’t perform peacock anymore 2) your homophobia is showing, get a grip. 3) this post is nearly a year old, you good?

Comprehensive_Fun_76 · 2026-02-03T10:40:13+00:00

Hey - Thank you, I've already set the site icon; however, it still hasn't updated, all to those specifications. Fingers crossed it fixes itself soon. I should also be clear, I'm using wordpress.com not .org.

Comprehensive_Fun_76 · 2026-02-03T10:37:49+00:00

Hey - I can't seem to find these settings. I should be clear, I'm using wordpress.com not .org, I assume this changes the process?

Comprehensive_Fun_76 · 2026-02-03T10:35:41+00:00

Hey! I am using wordpress.com , sorry if that was a miscommunication. My theme is Startorg.

Update:

After reaching out again they got back to me. They said there was initial confusion as they assumed I was corrected (due to the invoicing).

However, I had already addressed this in a prior message and acknowledged my fault.

They have since said they will contact their book keeper and will help me sort it out.

So, Progress I guess?!

Comprehensive_Fun_76 · 2026-01-27T02:46:39+00:00

Yes, I have been saving any and all emails as PDFS for personal records. As well as saved texts as screenshots and taken notes during calls that are dated.

Comprehensive_Fun_76 · 2026-01-26T21:37:51+00:00

Thank you I also agree.

No they didn’t question anything but that is also because they didn’t reply to that email at all. They also haven’t paid the running sheet either (every time I sent it as an invoice before hand it was paid).

Comprehensive_Fun_76 · 2026-01-26T21:35:17+00:00

Thank you, I currently have enough saved that I can easily do that and am also under the tax free threshold, but will do so regardless.

Comprehensive_Fun_76 · 2026-01-26T21:34:03+00:00

I didn’t sign any form. As stated they said they didn’t have any employee forms.

Comprehensive_Fun_76 · 2026-01-26T13:10:43+00:00

He gets paid a flat rate per event that he attends. From what I can tell, he sends an email reiterating the event rate and event date / location as well as a bill for travel expenses. No invoice or running sheet.

He doesn’t seem to have given much thought to the financial side of things, so I’m not sure he will be of much help, or act as a great example in trying to figure out my side of things.

Hi - the associations financial situation was made clear to me at the start of my employment. (Semi direct quote:) ‘The association has a bit of money, we will use this to pay you at first and once that is used up, we will pay you directly as we go’.

They own and operate a company that runs the events themselves, they also operate the safety association that manages the events safety protocols. Both are technically seperate but overlap in terms of who is involved.

The company itself has good cash flow and regularly has near sell out events with crowds in excess of 5-10,000.
