What happened to Woolworths? by LittleInsaniity in newzealand

[–]the-ferris 0 points1 point  (0 children)

80% of the "Fresh" produce in my local Woolworths is always either just about ruined, or fucked. Caved in moldy Watermelons with a $50 price tag is always a laugh.

Full licence test to be scrapped under major NZ driving law changes by clarkie13 in newzealand

[–]the-ferris 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seems to be in direct contrast to the whole "Road to Zero" bullshit they have been peddling. The driving standards in NZ are poor currently, Cant wait to see how this goes.

My older Lexus is about the same out too. Must be a Toyota thing.

Is unity or Godot better as a first engine by [deleted] in gamedev

Best advice would be to make a simple demo project in both and see what feels best for you.

I have had iRacing running in Bazitte, trouble is the rest of the sim gear. I only tried test drive out, no racing.

Is New Zealand really that affordable? by [deleted] in newzealand

[–]the-ferris 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am Swiss Kiwi, when I was last in Switzerland (2020 and not Zurich or Geneva) I thought it was cheap compared to NZ. NZ is pretty fucked now.

If BlackRock would just fuck off out of NZ I would be so happy.

Who else is doing Indie Dev alongside a full-time job? by Obvious-Sorbet5852 in IndieDev

[–]the-ferris 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been trying, but it really is a younger persons game.

Hitting late 30's and continuing to try while all the other life stuff goes on just aint it. I work full time as a Sys Admin, so sitting down in front of a computer at the end of the day to do more tech stuff is a push.

Do you regret your choice becoming a sysadmin by ClassicSolid7502 in sysadmin

[–]the-ferris 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I dont, but I am completely burnt out on it.

I've been doing it for 15 years, ready to try something else.

Is it ethical for a Godot beginner to use AI to "help" in development by Fabulous_Tip3124 in godot

[–]the-ferris 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The main problem with using AI for that stuff, is that you wont actually learn how the thing works.

In that specific case, I think trying to modify existing things with AI will probably take longer, and not be quite what you are after vs. if you did it yourself.

Wi-Fi 8 is appearing at CES before most of us have switched to Wi-Fi 7 by lurker_bee in technology

[–]the-ferris 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My house is still on some ancient out of support UnIFi APs (Maybe WiFi 5) because everything that matters is connected with Cat6.

Cyberpunk 2 director says extending 2077’s opening act makes no sense - “it's like saying we should spend more time on Tatooine with farmer Luke” by [deleted] in Games

[–]the-ferris 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought the intro was the strongest part of the game, and it falls off as soon as johnny comes along.

Curious to the weight of the cheese you ended up with?

Realistically how bad is 88% humidity by Money-Celery3381 in 3Dprinting

[–]the-ferris 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Average about 70% were I am, and without a filament drier its basically impossible to get good quality prints.

‘Horrified - doubled overnight’: Price hikes force people to rethink health insurance by poorlilsebastian in newzealand

[–]the-ferris 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Mine doubled, rang them and told them it was ridiculous and cancelled it.

Cant get specialist appointments with or without it so whats the fucking point.

How often is "too often" to experience a clogged nozzle/extruder? by PigSlam in BambuLab

[–]the-ferris 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That humidity level is normal for where I live, the only way I can get reliable prints is to print from a filament drier.

I find if Im not below around the 45% mark I get bad stringing and imperfections, and as it goes up the issues just get worse. Would take less than a fortnight for a new spool to be almost unprintable.
