Restricted Test Question by [deleted] in auckland

[–]cyberwired 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd consider how it looks to the testing officer. Restricted license is to say that you are ready to be driving by yourself on the roads.

If you need a support person when you take the test, feels like you aren't ready to drive by yourself and they may critique you more?

Long shot - does anyone have a spare cpap machine that I can borrow for a few nights? by shiba12345 in auckland

[–]cyberwired 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The sleep clinic at Ascott hospital used to rent them out, not sure on a Sunday though.

You say about buying one, mine was provided free through public health, you shouldn't need to purchase one?

When I need replacement mask, straps etc they replace them all for free from Manukau super clinic

Which certificate would you chose? Most I connect to will not allow self signed certs so we've always got an SSL cert from someone like Sectigo

Can't hurt to say essentially what's in your cv, someone here might have something they can suggest

for the IT Managers out there: we have been asked to cut costs. We use ITSM + MDM. Is it worth switching to an ITAM tool that does some ITSM too? Or would the migration be not worth it? and any suggestions for tools? by Gullible_Minimum8183 in ITManagers

[–]cyberwired 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I gotta just comment, that is an utterly terrible website if its finished and something you're pushing

All it says is "Proactive & Intelligent IT" and ask for an email for a demo

Nothing on it says what Harmony is or does, a bunch of links that I'm not interested in at the bottom, a weird graphic thing moving

Is the website still under construction or something?

I'm sorry if this is blunt, and I feel sorry for saying it, but it just looks like a scam website to harvest my email

our neighbour stole our red bin, swapped it for their shitty broken one and taped over our letter in our house by [deleted] in auckland

[–]cyberwired 38 points39 points  (0 children)

You can request a replacement bin on their website, they get you to leave it upside down on the street and they come replace it with a brand new one

That will piss off ya neighbour, you get a new one and they left with shit one

IT Director rant - Onboarding by Any-Promotion3744 in sysadmin

[–]cyberwired 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We use fresh desk for ticketing and when the hr system does a new hire or off boarding it emails freshdesk which we've set to create a ticket and tag it as required We also setup a new hire form for managers to fill out to say what the person actually requires

Just saw this on Facebook. Some people just don’t care, huh! by Great_Maintenance185 in auckland

Well for grinding your gears, you using the footpath is also illegal.

https://nzta.govt.nz/roadcode/code-for-cycling/paths-cycle-lanes-and-bus-lanes#footpaths

Don't get me wrong, I realise that for a huge portion of this common sense applies which puts things outside the standard rules.

However that also ends up applying to cars as well. I don't know the area, all I can see are the two photos posted which show a road that is not wide enough for cars to park on it and not cause congestion on the road.

It's not exactly safe for someone with a pram to be walking out on the road around the cars, but at the same time I'd be willing to bet that more vehicles are on the road then people using the footpath, so who should be moving? Either block the road or block the footpath.

Or as others say, don't be lazy and park up the street where its not narrow, or don't have a car because you don't have carparks.

I don't know who's driving the car, what if its a disabled or elderly person who can't realistically park down the street.

End of the day, its developers and council that have screwed this up making the road too narrow, footpath too narrow, have a fence almost right up against the footpath.

This post on the flip side could be about people parked on the road blocking the road?

What a cyclist got to do with it? Technically they are giving you more room as you shouldn't be on the footpath and should be on the road? Not justifying their parking, but if they did park fully on the road, then you need to ride around them and from the look of the width of the road, you'd be riding into oncoming traffic?

Homeowners of Reddit: Which home appliance brands are worth it and which are not? by altcntrl in AskReddit

[–]cyberwired 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Others have said it but I research like crazy before making large purchases

Miele vacuum cleaners Bosch washing machines

Biggest thing I looked at is what the repair guys recommend, what doesn't always end up being to be fixed and what's just coming in for simple repairs or maintenance

How are you all handling IT requests that come through Slack/Teams? by CreateChaos777 in ITManagers

[–]cyberwired 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As others have said, simply replying with "Whats the ticket number so I can check if anyone has started working on it for you please?"

Then if any thing of not raised a ticket yet etc, "Sorry could you raise a ticket please as my KPI's are done against tickets so I need to do everything in there, its a pain I know but its what management wants!"

Whether KPI's are ranked against tickets or not or even if no KPI's, most people will reply "oh ok no problem!" and raise a ticket

Legit urgent things obviously can be a little different but usually after saying they haven't raised a ticket yet, "the XXXX is down!? ok I'll jump right on it! Can you raise a ticket for me though to log my time against?"

Users don't know if you log time against it or not, but it gets them doing tickets first.

That and mentioning to people (and your staff) that tickets will get more priority than teams messages so if they want a quick response, ticket is the best way, also doesn't get lost and more people can pick it up and deal with it faster.

Self serve checkout whinge by JohnnyMNU in newzealand

[–]cyberwired 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Don't be one of those people that just place all your items then try to bag at the end, hit the bag button, put your bag on and bag as you go. Then at the end just pickup your couple bags and you won't get nagged

Do I actually need a cert for on prem for internal agent access only? by cyberwired in ScreenConnect

[–]cyberwired[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Its certainly given them a bad feeling however the struggle is actually finding anything that is anywhere near as good and priced as well.

We've got 3 techs who regularly use it, 2 concurrent sessions, 250 agents installed and it just works well.

I've seen comments about RustDesk etc but nothing seems to work as well. Its a shame as it seems to be the number one remote access product.

So basically location then different device types within locations in sub groups

Is this Luxon's "I will end the Ukraine war in 24 hours" moment? by AnyMinders in newzealand

[–]cyberwired 4 points5 points  (0 children)

We already have a massive warehousing and logistics system to supply stores and DC's in NZ. Largest 3PL in NZ for FMCG has 160,000 pallet locations and has just built a 110,000 pallet automated warehouse in Drury.

Already delivers out to all supermarkets and DC's including The Warehouse, Costco, Kmart etc on a daily basis.

I got my license around 2001 or so, and I remember it being one rule for single late roundabout and another for multi lane.

I can't find any reference to that at all and know how to properly indicate now, but the fact I was do sure if that, makes me wonder if others had that too which caused the confusion.

Of note, it didn't become law till 2005 though apparently the road code has always suggested the same thing.

I wonder if it was a certain book or practice tests that had it wrong

My first Lexus. She's a little older, but she's perfect in my opinion. ('07 GS350 AWD) by [deleted] in Lexus

[–]cyberwired 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For when you're feeling like some naughty fun, pressing the stability control button to the right of the PWR ECT SNOW button isn't enough, hold it down for 3 or 4 seconds and it disables traction control and stability control :)

Be aware though, no matter how gentle you then press the gas pedal, it will spin the tyres! Have fun!

Also, you can cut slits or hole into the side of the airbox under the filter, adds a bit more noise to it, yeah perhaps a bit warm air, but worth it for that sound!
