  Strong winds today
Posted by: nzoomed - 5 hours ago - Forum: News and Current Affairs - Replies (1)

Luckily we have escaped it here in Tauranga but ive got a friend in invercargill who lost their whole fence, snapped right off at the ground, along with most of their neighbors fences
Just watching the news, its lucky no one has been killed today from falling trees, but I believe there sadly was a death yesterday.

Which I found very interesting. It's from a US perspective, but still applies to us.

  New method to use Local account on windows 11
Posted by: nzoomed - 20-10-2025, 08:34 PM - Forum: Computing and Technology - Replies (16)

Microsoft have yet again clamped down on previous methods to create local accounts during installation.
Here is another method to get around this, it involved more steps unfortunately, but at least its possible.
How long before M$ disable this entirely?
I will go linux the day that they make it impossible to use a local account.

 

Here is a good video from Linus on the subject.

  More than 170 US Citizens held by immigration agents
Posted by: Lilith7 - 20-10-2025, 11:13 AM - Forum: Opinion and Politics - No Replies

That seems a hell of a lot of people. More than 20 were held for more than a day without being able to contact anyone.

  Weird coincidence? Or not?
Posted by: Oh_hunnihunni - 20-10-2025, 10:58 AM - Forum: Computing and Technology - Replies (6)

I have an interior design obsession, I love looking at the way people live in their homes. So last week I picked up a big coffee table book at the library, about houses in Maine. Very pretty pictures, lol. Great 2am fantasy material...

Then today, on Instagram there's a post by someone I do not follow about that book. That exact book. The internet knows what I am reading???

Please tell me it's coincidence. Because that is just spooky...  Big Grin Rolleyes

  'Mega strike" this week
Posted by: Lilith7 - 20-10-2025, 10:54 AM - Forum: News and Current Affairs - Replies (20)

Nurses,teachers & others are set to strike this week, possibly the biggest labour action in moe than 40 years. Its due to wages,working conditions being persistently ignored by this govt.


https://www.rnz.co.nz/news/political/575...ed-to-know


And the govt is not best pleased, & trying to paint it as 'manipulative' & claiming that it's all the fault of 'Unions priortising politics over patients'...so, nothing at all to do with this govt prioritising profit for themselves & other wealthy people over the needs of ordinary people,then.... Dodgy
