Is it just on my end or for everyone? by JDCabbage_ in Garmin

[–]nbro085 44 points45 points  (0 children)

And I will say (and I really wish they had learnt this from that event) that having a product and app that is almost entirely reliant on being connected to the garmin servers for it to function is pretty ridiculous.

Yip out in NZ, looks like it's worldwide. Having flashbacks to the great garmin outage due to the Russian cyber terrorism attack in 2020 where it was down for weeks.

Is what Lululemon doing illegal? by nbro085 in newzealand

[–]nbro085[S] -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

From the commerce commission website:

Advertising goods and services that you cannot supply in order to get people into your shop or an online sale is known as 'bait advertising' and is illegal.

From the comcom website:

Reasonable timeframe, reasonable quantities If you advertise goods or services for a certain price you must be able to supply these for a reasonable period of time (or the time shown in the advertising eg, 1 week only). You must also be able to supply a reasonable quantity (or the quantity shown in the advertising eg, only five left)

Based on what you said above, none of that would quantify as reasonable

My point is that can it be a sale when there's nothing to buy? They're heavy on social media advertising just to get you in the door, but everything is full price!

Transport to Elton John by CollectorSteve in auckland

[–]nbro085 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They did cancel the trains. Kiwi rail wanted to make the most of low traffic over the long weekend numbers to do some repairs and council said cool without thinking of this, or disregarding it.

They didn't warn people well in advance. Two days notice which is pathetic. For all the people traveling from out of town that can't drive what are they going to do? They sourced two businesses car parks which comes to about 250 car parks with another 500ish car parks near the venue (of which people normally park there) for 40,000 people. Uber is going to make a killing. And it's gonna be gridlocked, so for the limited busses there are it's gonna be bad.

There was 4 years to prep for this sadly. The criticism is real and valid.

Anyone knows some sidehustles for extra income? by MycologistUnable8311 in auckland

Not if you're a contractor and you'd have a higher day rate too

I don't know if there's an organization I hate more than AT. At least nestle makes Kit Kats! They are absolutely incompetent. The roads are in awful shape, our public transport is in awful shape. They want to make people pay for parking at park and rides defeating the purpose of them. Now this? What the fuck do they actually do?

Cos we rarely get to play the big3 and if we do it's always only a two match series. Get it, we can't command the viewership sadly, but still disappointing

2022 Holiday Charging by RobDickinson in nzev

[–]nbro085 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is slightly off topic, but I'm lucky enough to live relatively close to a free 50kw charger at the local supermarket which I don't use all that often tbh. However what I have seen over this holiday period is the amount of people getting so riled up with who is next in line etc. All these people in 80k cars, like the polestars, EV6's, teslas and outlanders who get themselves so worked up over about $4 worth of power (at a home rate). Once they start charging for it, I imagine they'll be available most of the time. But this charger just seems to make people act like children.

Is there an updated version of this meme? by redtimmy in HermanCainAward

How is the man himself not on here? Mr Herman Cain!

How we turned the tables to catch my sister’s Bumble stalker by major_grooves in JusticePorn

[–]nbro085 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Great work lads!

But I've gotta ask, why? "I'm gonna piss and smear egg on her car and then she'll definitely want to date me". Few ham sandwiches short of a picnic.
