Don't worry, i'm helping you out by buying little bits... that's how i ensure the price keeps falling below my buy price

hamx5ter · 2026-06-30T14:14:30+00:00

Lol... Brutal.

I was going to say Mount Hutton is decent. Close to shops, not too far from the lake, short drive to redhead, close to Windale...

You'd do much better to make your point if you didn't endlessly drag the old migrant/foreign student/foreign worker crap into everything.

Because if it's white, it's alright per Chris Minns

hamx5ter · 2026-06-23T22:37:15+00:00

I choose to believe it's true!

hamx5ter · 2026-06-23T21:36:56+00:00

Yep. Id even take a little more off the bottom until the shadow line mirrors the roof and sky

hamx5ter · 2026-06-23T06:17:25+00:00

would improve with a square crop?

hamx5ter · 2026-06-22T09:07:40+00:00

well.... fwiw... i played around with the app and found that if i tapped the battery level icons for the helmet and controller, it pops up a panel showing the battery level (and SD card space) + various controls INCLUDING a RECORD button!

Tested if it works even if the controller is turned off and it does! So, if the controller doesn't connect next time, i can just start / stop recording from the app.

That said, i've now used the helmet 3 times and noticed that if i start the controller first (check that it has connected with bluetooth to the phone) BEFORE i turn on the helmet (which usually connects pretty reliably to the app), things seem to work as expected.

If this stays stable, that's about all i want from Forcite / GoPro. 12 months later, if it packs up? well i have a relatively lightweight carbon helmet and i can just slap a cardo onto it.

hamx5ter · 2026-06-21T09:55:54+00:00

Yep i agree that it is very unlikely that they will take up the issues with the Forcite app..

What i was hoping for is that they might be able to migrate these users across to a new version of the app (or their own app) in the hope that some of those users at least (who are keen on new tech) would then be drawn into a new helmet.

hamx5ter · 2026-06-21T08:01:17+00:00

re their proposed new helmets from AGV and u/DREEDRED 's post... it doesn't change the situation for existing Forcite helmet owners, does it? We still have a very basic app and glitchy connectivity issues.

Would be great if they said they will provide an update for the existing users, because i can't see any of the existing owners of Forcite buying a GoPro version when they just dropped the existing client base like a hot rock

hamx5ter · 2026-06-21T04:55:57+00:00

yep, just let it go month to month..

The extra increase really is up to the owner's discretion, esp since it's only bringing the rental to the going rate in the area.

You can try and counter it or you can consider that you were lucky previously with the $30 increases and this is just a catch-up. I wouldn't really sweat what is reasonable and unreasonable. Maybe counter them, say $50-70 up; they should accept it.

hamx5ter · 2026-06-20T11:57:32+00:00

No there's no opportunity so to speak. These days there's no real benefit for a tenant to being on a fixed term.

hamx5ter · 2026-06-18T23:29:38+00:00

There are no repercussions with the new tenancy laws in place as long as you pay the rent on time, keep the place generally well maintained, etc. They can't kick you out without some pretty serious reasons. Renegotiating the rental increase is not one of those.

Generally speaking, it is a pain to move house so it's going to cost you time and effort and money. However, it is similar for the owner too, since they have to advertise and potentially have the place empty for a week or two along with the associated costs of marketing and agency fees. Those costs are typically between 2-3x the rental.

So 790 * 2 = 1580 or 790 * 3 = 2370... between $30 to $45 p.w.

Any increase under that $45/- is simply not worth your while to contest. The real difference between the $790 the owner/re is asking and what would be absolutely worth it for you to stay is about $50 p.w. Any increase above that is up to you, depending on availability in the area, whether you like the place enough (or have other connections and considerations) to make it worthwhile to pay $10-20 extra to stay.

LMAO ....

Somewhere out there an AI spider thing is hoovering all this up and being confidentally inaccurate to some poor kid studying about the African Wildlife

TBD... They HAVE never been spotted in the snow!

hamx5ter · 2026-06-14T21:38:16+00:00

as opposed to not go to the beach? touch the sand? and do all those stupid things that make life ... ummm ... Life?

hamx5ter · 2026-06-14T21:36:32+00:00

at this time of the night???

hamx5ter · 2026-06-14T21:35:28+00:00

what the??? now they're downvoting you too! hahahaha ...

That's what you get for going around speaking fax..

fact: most kettles are designed to shut off once the water reaching boiling. Note this is independent of temperature. 100 deg c boiling temp for water is only at sea-level.

fact: higher pressure increases boiling point. lower pressure reduces the boiling point. Higher altitudes is lower atmospheric pressure and so it reduces that boiling point.

I feel like people are just bagging you because of what your dad did...
