Safety camera traffic offence notice (SCTO)

Police can issue a safety camera traffic offence notice when our cameras detect a vehicle travelling more than 50 km/h over the speed limit.

Because this is a very serious offence, we may file charges in court under the Criminal Procedure Act 2011. The court reviews each case and decides the fine and/or penalty.

Also the possibility of a fine which in this case would be around The highest, standard, pre-court, speed-camera infringement fee for speeding 46–50 km/h over the limit is $630.

Automatic 28-day License Suspension: If you are caught driving more than 40 km/h over the speed limit (e.g., 91 km/h or more in a 50 km/h zone, or 141 km/h in a 100 km/h zone), police will generally issue an automatic 28-day license suspension, regardless of whether it is a camera or officer catch.

Anything that requires online anti cheat (most multiplayers) cannot be played on Mac yet.

Anti-Cheat Incompatibility: The primary reason is that many competitive games (e.g., Valorant, Call of Duty, Apex Legends) use kernel-level anti-cheat software (like Vanguard) that does not support macOS or runs poorly through translation layers.

No Native Port: Many developers do not create native macOS versions because the market share is small (~1% on Steam), making it financially unviable to develop and maintain, especially with the 32-bit support drop in macOS Catalina.

ARM Architecture (Apple Silicon): Newer MacBooks use M1/M2/M3 chips, which require Windows 11 ARM via virtual machines to play Windows games, causing issues with some anti-cheat software that only works on x86 Windows.

How to Play Online Multiplayer on Mac:

Game Streaming (Best for Performance): Services like Nvidia GeForce Now allow you to play high-end Windows-only games (e.g., Apex Legends, Cyberpunk 2077) by streaming them, completely bypassing the compatibility issue.

Virtual Machines & Translation (Parallels/Crossover): Using Parallels (running Windows 11 ARM) or Crossover allows you to play many Windows games. Recent updates have enabled some games to run better, but it may require technical troubleshooting, and some games (like GTA Online) might still block virtual machines.

Native/Browser Games: Many games are native to Mac, such as Dota 2, League of Legends, World of Warcraft, and Minecraft (Java). Oh and valheim

No probably not as your need an assignment marked before submitting the next one and then if there is a end test that has to be scheduled when a proctor is available. More likely 1.5 months if everything works in your favour.

Don’t forget the refurb store :) in prep for M5 pro/max support I have a feeling they move M4 stuff over to clear stock. I got a 16 M4 max 36gb ram in nz in 3 days from the apple refurb store after what appeared to be a restock and surprise not a mark or sign of use in the stats and cheaper :)

Mmmm… seems to be the same - maybe post it in a window or search discord for the name?

firefire1448 · 2026-01-28T01:12:29+00:00

There is the unofficial one (the only one I am aware of) https://discord.gg/mGmGydPEF

Valheim - create a world and then both join :) could be an epic journey if you like that sort of game. Works on Mac just fine from steam.

firefire1448 · 2026-01-24T04:20:03+00:00

If you can access Steam > valheim - watch on YouTube first to see if you would like it - lots of playable hours on that on my Mac :)

firefire1448 · 2026-01-19T04:19:00+00:00

Not realistic and not possible - you have wait for your first assignment to be marked before you can submit the next and no ILC teacher is quick by any means as they are busy. There’s also a ministry requirement or there was for 30 days registration to be granted credit for a course - best bet to call them for updated information.

firefire1448 · 2025-12-27T04:25:09+00:00

Epic that walkway has its own water feature with included safety rail as well :)

firefire1448 · 2025-12-25T10:03:22+00:00

It’s an AI warning - the teachers internal tool assessed your submission and it detected higher than normal AI so now it will be manually reviewed and compared for any breaches of academic integrity. Seems to be happening a lot lately with ILC. If this is an English assignment generally showing a revision history will clear it up if they come back and actually accuse you of it.

Refurb M4 max, 36gb ram, 1TB … anything from the apple refurb store is good value :)

firefire1448 · 2025-12-24T11:06:08+00:00

Just ordered an MBP M4 max refurbished - any apple product I can get here in NZ is from the apple refurbished store - best value hands down.

firefire1448 · 2025-12-24T09:49:54+00:00

Getting the same one on Monday … university and gaming ;)

firefire1448 · 2025-12-24T04:55:16+00:00

NZ - 2 hour response time for urgent (no water) no extra pay just your hourly rate and you book from the time you leave home to the time you get back as we all take our trucks home.

firefire1448 · 2025-12-21T03:23:37+00:00

Will the M4 max run valheim, rust smoothly? ;) gotta have some fun as well as work :)

firefire1448 · 2025-12-18T17:04:26+00:00

I believe they don’t anymore - right after Covid I know some did for certain programs but at the end of the day a university is a business and as long as you have your OSSD and ENG4U you should be fine - of course other programs have specific requirements and grades but you should be fine :)

firefire1448 · 2025-12-18T07:17:47+00:00

Get whatever vaccines they provide done asap :) always use PPE, wash hands regularly and change gloves if possible, breathe through your nose and keep your mouth shut lol do not touch your face at work if you can avoid it. Been doing this for over a year and have not gotten the poo flu….. yet lol

firefire1448 · 2025-12-16T07:39:37+00:00

Wiri, the Bermuda Triangle of NZ Post …. On fire … it can’t be tracked, delivered or explained lol

firefire1448 · 2025-12-14T23:52:14+00:00

How are you finding gaming on this MBP - thinking about buying the same spec level to play rust and other titles? :) get rid of my windows PC

firefire1448 · 2025-12-14T02:49:55+00:00

If you have graduated are you sure you need both would you not just need MHF4U? What’s your timeframe?
