I had it at the inlaws yesterday, only he changed his Admin password from what I set it to and doesn't know what it is. I didn't have a USB on me that can boot to a live Linux image and hack that.
I got my nephew a remote controlled fart machine. He keeps sneaking it under adult seats and setting it off, the grown ups are being good sports and playing along. The kids are in fits of giggles. It's a happy game that I think the kids will remember throughout their childhoods. It's very wholesome. ❤️
I haven't looked in a few years, but Apple Music was just a re-brand of Beats Music, which was itself an enshitified rebadge of the old MOG music service.
Spud Shed is a legitimate competitor in WA. At least as good as Aldi in terms of range. They're also the only stores open 24x7, here. Colesworth close at 9pm on weekdays and 5pm on weekends.
They don't play on the same level as Colesworth though. Maybe a few percent market share even here?
Woolies could argue that every dollar spent at Spud Shed isn't being spent in their stores. That seems to be what they say that about literally any store selling a product found on their shelves.
So, there's a bug with the graphics drivers at work, where if the 4K displays go to sleep, all the windows are on the primary display when I get back to the computer. It's super annoying, but nothing worked to stop it.
In the end, I bought a little gadget that stops the display from going to sleep. It is a small USB device that moves the mouse 1 pixel every 10 seconds. While it solved my problem, it is designed for your exact use case: https://amzn.asia/d/cyeA6qH
It presents as a USB mouse to the computer, doesn't need any software. It keeps you "available" all day. Just thought you might like to know it exists. 😉
If Joe's Emporium of Essentials opened tomorrow with the same range as Colesworth, but cheaper prices, watch that "loyalty" disappear overnight. The duopoly have reached a comfortable equilibrium and know that so long as they remain cheaper than IGA, they're good to extort us.
I got home after a graveyard shift one time many years ago and had a minor existential crisis because I truly didn't remember the drive home. I read a couple of years ago that this phenomenon has a name: Highway Hypnosis. In theory, I shouldn't have been fatigued that day, but that's also a plausible explanation.
I have spent a lot of time on Victorian roads, both as a cyclist and as a driver. I'm with the Victorian police: Victorian drivers be crazy.
Best evidence I have to back this up is that my car insurance premiums dropped by $800 when I moved from Victoria to WA. The insurance companies think you are far more likely to claim in Victoria than you are in WA.
In Victoria at least (not sure about WA), air cons not working are considered urgent repairs.
It's very likely the same in WA; I haven't looked into it. Which I regret now, as the landlady took ages (over a year) to approve an Aircon repair in our old house.
This topic sort-of skirts around the issue of solar panels in WA. They're very common among home owners, but rare among renters. You can almost tell whether a house is owned or rented here by looking at solar panels in the street. Landlords have zero incentive to install them, because they cost a decent amount and don't change the amount in rent by very much and then they're on the hook for repairs/maintenance of them.
Well, they actually do though. We just had our Landlord pay to service our aircon this week because it wasn't cooling. Given what we pay in rent though, I have zero qualms about making sure the stuff in the place works as agreed.
I gripe about how much we pay fairly regularly, but I will concede that our landlord does actually approve the maintenance stuff we raise. Gotta be fair to the guy.
The way my project manager was talking yesterday, I may be in a minority planning on getting stuff done today. She has mostly written today off in her timeline calculations.

I've had decent luck with hams going cheap. Christmas stuff like those fruit puddings etc also gets very cheap.
