CAPTCHHHA on Petrol, Power Bills, Groceries — Are We Just Supposed to Cop It Forever?
I'm loving mine. https://www.reddit.com/r/gwmora/comments/1qki4vf/6_month_10k_km_review_of_my_lovely_2023_ora/ Also: $99 yearly service.
I'm a current student, and registering is not working for me, so having a current Swinburne email isn't enough to get an alumni address.…
The same thing is happening for me. Please post back here if you are able to get anywhere with them.
mjdau commented on How Can I Get Access to an Edu Email?
As a Swinburne alumni, you have an email for life. https://www.swinburne.edu.au/emailforlife/
Absolutely. I live in an elevated locale, so to speak. When I leave home, the first 40km only costs me 2% of battery, thanks to the…
My Mileage Is Varying, as they say. I have a 2023 GWM Ora (which I love to drive, so fun!) When I bought it 6 months ago as a 2 year…
I trust that "I bet" is a figure of speech here, and not an offer to make a wager with me.
Excellent. I wanted the absolute cheapest comprehensive insurance I could get. That means Bingle, market value, their repairer, no courtesy…
Not per year, per service. So if you wanted to hurt your dealer's feelings and skip a year, the service would still be $99.
Indeed, that's why it can be $99. I wonder though if consumables are part of it, for example, wiper blades and cabin air filter. I guess…
For a 2023 car I wouldn't expect any further software updates unless it's associated with a safety issue. I'm not sure I'd actually want…
mjdau commented on Are EVs Easy/Affordable to Service?
I've had a 2023 GWM Ora (a full EV) since July, done 9000km so far, great fun to drive! Services are every 12 months at the dealer, and…
Sweet! Where from?

Still got that new carpark smell!
I've switched to DeepSeek, which I've found to be streets better than ChatGPT, especially for coding. Ok, so everything I do with it goes…
mjdau commented on Polestar - ‘Significant Doubt’ over Future
Next up: Nissan, who haven't made a profit in years and continue to burn through cash. They tried organising a rescue package/JV with Honda…
My 1990 Civic was (just) pre ECU. No smarts in the car. Loved it, wish I still had it.

Wise has served me well for more than a decade. Cheap and reliable, end of story.
Can this phone be used for NFC contactless payments, such as Google Pay? Some articles I'm reading say that it can't, because it doesn't…

mjdau commented on Your Favourite Linux Desktop Distro and Why?
Lots of people say they like Fedora for the stability and choice of software. Lots of people say they like Mint for the user experience.…
I bought a Brother L2350DW this year. The toner that it came with only gave me 320 pages (700 claimed), and the printer has a habit of…
God I love that colour. Been lusting after it for a few years now. Instant neck swivel whenever I see a soul red Mazda.
My visa did not permit work. My visa sponsors always invited me over to explore business opportunities, and I had a good time exploring.…
Personal safety? I lived in Shenzhen for three years and Dalian for half a year. I always felt safe (far more than in the USA). China…
My breakfast when living in China was oats. Half the oats in the shops in China are from Australia, so it was an easy choice!
This. China has only one rule, and it's don't be a threat to the party. Apart from that, anything you want to do, go do it. It's the…
