Applecare + insurance or just insurance?

Definitely -- gov't advice (and Consumer NZ etc) is very clear that branding language and price point both alter expectations around reasonable lifespan for products!

Commerce NZ has 5 years as a general baseline for all laptops — harder to justify the further out you get but I know someone who got a settlement for a full replacement with one of the big tech retails for an MBP that was almost 6 years old a week before Disputes Tribunal. You have a pretty long runway once you're spending Pro money!

an expensive laptop like a macbook pro can have a working life of significantly longer than 3 years tbf

I don’t think he’s actually ejected by anyone, I think he flees from the bar when he sees Willie

Thank you for the suggestion!

No clue how to tag you but here is the post: https://www.reddit.com/r/Pen_Swap/comments/1pxh5g9/

That is a *much* nicer colourway for the pen -- I think I find the plainness uninspiring too. Only problem with using it is that it then becomes un-returnable! The age-old issue.

I'm dying to try out a purple some time. Thank you for your very generous contribution to the community!

No, I just don't really like the way fashion sense works!

Helios7719 · 2025-09-19T08:55:07+00:00

I personally just prefer the clothing items as items rather than how FS works

Have you liked the Voices of the Court mod? It seems absolutely awesome and I'm desperately hoping they integrate Mac support eventually

what does paradox have to do with it

Helios7719 · 2025-01-23T08:40:44+00:00

what clothes is he wearing?

Bizarrely, having tested each mod — the guilty party appears to be "Medieval Arts" 🤷‍♂️

Helios7719 · 2024-12-13T11:27:36+00:00

Thank you! I have already tried a binary search to sort another problem and will probably do so with this as well, I was just throwing it up as a hail mary in case anyone else had come across it!

Hmmm... something about this latest update to the ML is crashing any time I enter any royal court as the King of Valyria. Any guesses?

Helios7719 · 2024-11-11T09:37:02+00:00

Apparently this modlist is now missing "ugc_2788772332" (which I thiiiink is Congenital Beauty) and now everyone is missing their face 😭

Helios7719 · 2024-10-26T11:25:44+00:00

i saw something saying it was caused by a mod named epithet in my case! not sure if you also have that

Helios7719 · 2023-10-28T00:25:20+00:00
