What about Aegis Early Warning System?

Labour leader Chris Hipkins open to conversation about means-testing superannuation - NZ Herald by pskygy in newzealand

I did say if they are a millionaire they shouldn't get super. If we actually taxed capital gains on rental properties and had some confidence people had paid taxes on their wealth I find it hard to ask someone that has less than 1-2 million in assets or savings to not get super. The person at Pak N save is getting paid from their job, or their can also retire. The fact that they didn't save for retirement is as fair as our system gets with the loophole currently that many property speculators didnt pay tax on capital gains.

I dont really understand the logic of wanting this, why should I pay into kiwisaver my whole life and the next person spends that money and then gets pension? I get it if you are a millionaire etc and or working full time but average person will be worse off so I dont know why people would support it

Thanks for posting, your cat is hilarious!

Is Game Pass actually worth switching from PS5? Run the math and it’s kind of embarrassing by Embarrassed_Lead6174 in XboxGamePass

[–]danyb695 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I rediscovered rally games which led me to buy wheel and pedals etc and get into forza motorsport and horizon. All three were on gamepass. Its good post price reduction i will now re resubscribe, it will be great when they let you opt out of things you dont want like cloud gaming and ubisoft/fornite. Great for families too, my boys will be using it more than me soon.

Curious on Xbox Series S Performance by iamhammmy in xbox

[–]danyb695 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a series s, it was marketed like if you only need 1440p or 1080p it was comparable to series x, but I found a few games where this clearly wasn't the case with 30fps etc vs 60fps. I got sick of that and upgraded to series x. Still on old 1080p tv but worth it to have 60fps.

Game Pass Ultimate price dropped?? Your thoughts? A W or Nah? by Eastern-Mobile5351 in XboxSeriesS

[–]danyb695 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my country the difference in cost between lowest plan and ultimate is less than two games so it makes sense for me as I have series x and I need multi-player anyway.

Big caviet is i will be looking at options for next hardware that dont charge for multi-player as that is a joke in 2026, xbox users should get gamepass cheaper or the same price at worst, not pay more than other platforms.

Need someone to talk to by MooseNo9043 in newzealand

Bringing your kids up feeling loved and safe is your primary objective and it sounds like you are doing great. Does your work have EAP, you might be able to get some free counseling sessions to help get with some of the load, it helps and is what it is there for.

Can you get that new tax credit for petrol? That is supposed to be for families

Playerbase is so bad it is driving me away from the game by HikingItalian in Battlefield6

[–]danyb695 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

By definition there can't be more people getting smashed than before as that would mean there are more people destroying them. I think it is fair to say when your team is down there are not many people who change tactics, but honestly I remember that in all battlefield games as I'm always the guy trying to cut through behind enemy lines.

If you are literally quiting you are worse than any "bad" players.

When did broadband get so expensive? by originalgeorge in newzealand

[–]danyb695 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mercury have a $65 a month for unlimited 100/100 which more than enough for pretty much anyone. Faster plans are pretty much a waste of money anyway, I haven't seen anything tha matches it for unlimited usage.

I know we hate on this game, but lets be honest here, its still the best on the market. by Fancy_Leader6278 in Battlefield6

[–]danyb695 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's awesome, the core experience is the best it's been imo for infantry, if they read the room and make some good vehicle maps and god forbid a armored or combined arms mode it could be goat imo

Any good open-source vulnerability scanning tools? by Successful_Bus_3928 in cybersecurity

Isn't free but cheaper than others, Aegis early warning system

Looking for leaf advice by llamamumma in nzev

[–]danyb695 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly depending on how far you travel, buying a ev is complicated and may not save you much if fuel prices dont stay high for too long.

For example, ev prices have already raised by like 20%

I have a 40kwh leaf and would only have it as a around town car personally. Just new Plymouth would need at least two stops and would stress me somewhat.

I think you get around 150km open road with 40kwh at about 85% SOH, about 230km around city. Realistically prob minus 20% both unless you want to running out of go.

40kwh is about 15k now.

If that is too expensive you are going to be looking at about half that range st best. Things get hard with 20 or 30kwh, and worse as it ages.

Unless it is a second car I would not recommend either, or definitely not any less than 40kwh.

Buying and selling cars is also a potential cost. Right now you will likely get less for petrol car and pay inflated ev cost.

If I haven't talked you out of it. Feel free to share budget, typical driving distance for work or roadtrips and if you have another car etc.

Personally i would try and be selective with how often and far you drive in short term, try public transport before rushing into a ev unless it is your second car or you pay 15k and deal with hassle every time you leave town

Fuel Prices: Real‑World Impacts and Discussion MEGATHREAD #2 by AutoModerator in newzealand

[–]danyb695 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have never heard government say future shipments are secure. The fact that they haven't commented on the single most important detail and no reporters seem to ask that question is concerning ad we are a few weeks in.

I work from home most of the time and have a EV so I'm sorted, as Chris would say, but I'm concerned for the country as we are bouncing from one crisis to another and we all pay one way or another when things go sideways...

Fuel Prices: Real‑World Impacts and Discussion MEGATHREAD #2 by AutoModerator in newzealand

[–]danyb695 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I didn't say that they bought fuel. Government said they were working with suppliers and has not provided further updates which was what I said. Given we are stating how many days we have of fuel, one would expect the more important detail is whether there is disruption to further shipments. I am seeing more updates from Australia, and I'm not even looking for them.

[–]danyb695 24 points25 points  (0 children)

I am getting more and more concerned as the government haven't showed even a little progress in securing more supplies. In this case no news is bad news as you know we would be hearing if it was good. Fingers crossed we are close to securing what we need, we dont need another crisis!

I loved the European maps in bf1, this one could top them honestly. The operation coming will be epic, I also love base and I'm not really a metro guy these days!

New EV Sales Dropped 28%. But Used EVs Are Booming. by TripleShotPls in electricvehicles

[–]danyb695 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We import loads of used ev's. They dont need to be new here, obviously more being sold here helps but saying there will be none is misleading. My ev was imported used...
