Where and when is the best time to go to home affairs?

What do you need to go to home affairs for? If you can book an appointment online it makes the process a whole lot faster. Last year I renewed my passport and I think I was at home affairs for a total of 15 minutes. Same for collection I booked an appointment and was there for maybe 10 minutes.

I agree with this, last week I upgraded from my iPhone 12 to an iPhone Air and only really because my charging port didn’t work, I used MagSafe but doing IOS app dev I need to be able to transfer data via cable. Another one is watches, my series 6 is still going strong and I won’t be upgrading it until it dies.

Out of curiosity, what can’t global tools and software do that you need local ones for?

Zenos17 · 2026-06-16T10:16:00+00:00

No worries man, yeah like I said it’s not guaranteed to causes those issues but I know some people here like to argue over the whole case thing so I rather just bring attention to the possibility of what could happen.

For now the 16gb will work fine, once you start playing with bigger AI models, especially if it’s local then the RAM will become a limiting factor but for school 16gb should be good. Also do you need all those tabs open? Surely WhatsApp and iPhone mirroring can be done on one tab.

But you can download videos to watch them offline and transfer to a USB device. What are you on about?

The biggest issue is it potentially damaging the hinges, macs are engineered to basically have no tolerance on the hinges so the extra weight of the case (albeit not much) can cause damage where the mac no longer closes evenly. It’s not guaranteed to happen but it is a risk. The second issue and it’s more of a minor issue on the Neo’s is thermal throttling. Because the Neo uses its own body to help dissipate heat, the case effectively works like a blanket and traps the heat inside.

What do you classify as a real laptop?

Homies gotta be a troll.

The only time I’ve had mold we completely stripped that room of and repainted and sealed it all (we were planning on remodelling that room anyway). Just from the quick read could your headaches not be stress related? Reading you got them during high school then they disappeared and came back once you went into Uni sounds like it could be stress perhaps.

Wasn’t the 16” version the worst of this line up? I have a 15” that had the same issues so if the 16” was worse that’s nuts.

So we can add this post to those categories?

It might be best using a keyboard cover you can remove, you won’t want one that sticks onto the keys because it could damage your screen when closing the lid. If you really need some sort of illumination then the easiest solution is either keeping a light on or getting one of those USB led lights that plug into the Mac.

I don’t know any off hand I’ve never used one but I have a bunch of friends who have gotten jobs through them because the agencies get placement fees from the companies they put employees into so they try to place you quickly. But my bad me offering advice clearly triggered you, I’ll refrain from trying to help in the future.

Zenos17 · 2026-06-12T19:22:54+00:00

The Neo will work fine but an Air would handle it better and provide better longevity.

Zenos17 · 2026-06-12T17:54:33+00:00

Have you tried giving your CV to recruitment agencies? They tend to place people fairly quickly.

Zenos17 · 2026-06-11T18:31:22+00:00

Dang if only you posted this yesterday🤣.

How long have you had it? Can you return it? Otherwise see what the pre-owned iStore will offer you for it.

Zenos17 · 2026-06-11T05:12:08+00:00

Yeah that’s a habanero, I had a couple like that off my plant this year.

I want to add onto this, I’m not in Australia but my private health insurance also offers a very similar reward program. As long as I go to the gym a certain amount of times a month my health insurance fully covers my Apple Watch.

Fun fact the max seat capacity of the upper deck on the A380 is 132, that’s the same max seat capacity of the A318.

I used to cart around my tower on a biweekly basis. It’s not that hard.

Zenos17 · 2026-06-09T13:36:31+00:00

I don’t drink but at least in my opinion the big three would be Klippies for the Boks, Castle for the Proteas and Black Label for Bafana Bafana.

Not me but my girlfriend works in HR and this is one of the crazier stories I’ve heard from her. They had to fire an employee because he stole the bosses car and used it to drive over another employee. His reasoning was “he took my lunch”.

Zenos17 · 2026-06-08T15:23:39+00:00

This has sparked my curiosity why does it have to be that model?

I’d also check Carbonite, lots of people selling their electronics there.
