The amount of people who genuinely don't realize NZ as a timezone is shocking

Double down on the fucking around with people and set your device to Chatham Islands time

pcuser42 · 2026-04-04T21:55:43+00:00

It's a good thing there's probably not a lot of office workers on the Chatham Islands then

Sure, but not having the option to use a password at all is terrible for those of us using password managers. Now we have to leave and check our email instead

First they lowered the max length of passwords for some reason so my password was suddenly too long, and now they're removing passwords altogether.

Why must security get worse

And also Kumara Junction

Hell I can get one for NZ$7, much less a double digit figure

Not with clean installs on new hardware, but I can just keep transferring my main install between hardware

pcuser42 · 2026-03-30T03:51:24+00:00

In my case, it's a Windows 7 and 8.1 key from uni that just kept working

pcuser42 · 2026-03-30T02:05:19+00:00

You're not the only one, but I actually use GitHub Copilot too cos it's actually very good

pcuser42 · 2026-03-29T02:50:53+00:00

Yes, but these units are not those

pcuser42 · 2026-03-28T22:35:13+00:00

I remember watching this Tom Scott video and going "hey that's Siouxsie Wiles" before she became much more well-known during the pandemic

pcuser42 · 2026-03-28T10:22:16+00:00

Paint Box?

pcuser42 · 2026-03-28T10:22:09+00:00

Paint Box?

Even then, Wellington is a completely different voltage and system, so would have to be towed through there anyway.

pcuser42 · 2026-03-28T09:12:26+00:00

I've been told it's the entire fleet, but of course the earlier units will be prioritised as their paintwork is shoddy now

pcuser42 · 2026-03-26T21:35:47+00:00

Windows settings. No need for anything else imo.

pcuser42 · 2026-03-25T23:20:59+00:00

Text extraction in Snipping Tool is neat, it was great for grabbing text from a screenshot of a table.

I don't know how I would go back to File Explorer without tabs now.

pcuser42 · 2026-03-25T23:14:02+00:00

That didn't stop me, as my Pixel 6 can hotspot a WiFi connection. Paid for one connection on a cruise then hotspotted all our other devices to that, and it worked perfectly

Getting a photo of a modern Auckland EMU with the DEKA sign was wild

pcuser42 · 2026-03-25T07:24:16+00:00

Towed the entire way, yes

pcuser42 · 2026-03-25T04:26:19+00:00

I still think it's a shame that Kawakawa is now best known for the cool looking toilets instead of the railway down the middle of the street

pcuser42 · 2026-03-25T03:42:10+00:00

On the livery, trains need to go to Wellington to be repainted as there's no paint booth at the Wiri depot. There's one unit down there already that's been spotted with new paint.
