I bought a laptop that came with a broken charger, I could easily test it myself as a friend also had an HP laptop with the same brick (this was before the days of USB C).
I tried to make a warranty claim and they wanted me to send the laptop too and wipe the HDD, the RMA process would take weeks on top of that.
I ended up buying a 3rd party charger, I’m sure their RMA process is overly long and convoluted to deter people from making warranty claims
NZ is usually used as a Guinea pig by tech companies, small population, English speaking, etc.
However I think it might be that the Alll Blacks might face off the Springboks in the Rugby World Cup Final and Elon wants to minimise the shitposting on Twitter. /s

There’s a museum of the incident with a reconstruction of the plane crash in Italy. Absolutely worth a visit. https://www.inbologna.it/the-museum-for-memory-of-ustica-in-bologna.html
It was known for a long time that the plane was downed by a missile, with the French being suspects.
Also, the last mile issue is very real and needs to be solved.

afaik, tyres and brakes are proprietary too
Wholeheartedly agree. My previous employer was very big into pride and DEI since at least 10 years ago, when it wasn’t as normaliaed as it is today.
However, the office wasn’t wheelchair accessible and I complained about it, took me more than 4 years to get them to do something about it because I’m not a wheelchair user, so my requests got denied every time, absolutely zero empathy despite what they used to promote.
As you said, Pride is free marketing, building a ramp costs money

I dug a bit into it and there’s obvious astroturfing going on by the creator. There’s some crypto bullshit attached to it.

VHS won over Betamax. This one was over porn despite Beta being technically superior.
DVD won over VCD. This one was over copy protection since VCD were trivial to decrypt and copy at the time.
My current employer had a relatively small layoffs round (about 3% of the workforce). More people resigned afterwards than during the layoffs.
My manager got a promotion with a hefty salary increase, then the company announced a hiring and salary freeze, then gave me a promotion with more responsibilities (some of my manager’s as well) but with the same salary.
I quited a few months later as soon as I could secure something else
The phrases will appear by the filter, including warnings about harming children, damaging organs and causing impotence and leukaemia.
Right there in the article. Putting a piece or printed paper in your mouth does not damage your organs, cause impotence nor leukemia.
You don’t smoke the filter bit
I left NZ a few years ago and one of my main reasons were the lower incomes and high cost of housing. It all came down to the fact that I couldn’t even afford to rent a flat by my self, whereas right across the Tasman I could earn twice the salary and have a comparable if not lower cost of living.
Eventually I’ve ended up in Europe and I’m earning almost 4 times of what I was earning back home. I’ve considered coming back, bit the prospect of maybe never being able to own a home keeps me away.
