We're getting taken to the cleaners in NZ!! I think it's $50 for a westpac chopper ride...

They've done something with the printer system in Tahoe. Brother removed support for native drivers on certain label printers on Tahoe (!!!) when you go searching you find other pr…

Yes. Queens English countries it's the phrase used (New Zealand - that's what we use).

I don't know. Certainly the frequency and severity is just eye opening. We had 2 1 in 50's with 1 in 100 in 3 weeks (!!!). I know you guys have also had it bad over there. I expect…

Chunks of NZ are becoming very expensive to uninsurable, and extreme impact weather events are getting more frequent. It would be fair say a good portion of the population don't un…

In New Zealand we have an absolutely shit employment law process where the company has to 'propose' a restructure (in a formal fashion). Then 'consult' with employees for feedback.…

To be fair EV's can have some very high initial torque delivery, and are heavy = tyre shredding beasts. I know I know, people aren't supposed to be taking off from every light at f…

Oooo thank you for mentioning that. Looks quite feature rich !

How does Anrok charge? is it based on a per filing basis or %age of rev? If %age can you share broadly speaking what it costs?

Fascinating. I'm wondering how the app manages to control notification behaviour & gatekeeps other apps. Obviously the APIs to do it must be there, just surprised Apple (of all ...…

Echoing this, loved the product feature callout diagram. Immediately 'view source' to figure out how it was done.

In New Zealand we're very much natural disaster prone. I run a SaaS working out of home - we wired the house for generator backup and have a starlink unit that sits in a box exactl…

After this I imagine there will be an option "do you want updates immediately, or updates when released - n, or n+2, n+6, n+24, n+48 hrs?" Given the choice I bet there's going to b…

That's a high bar - in my experience (New Zealand) 1/3 of candidates can't even write any form of code to retrieve a random element from an array. 1/3 have to be nudged along and a…

The PT-P models (we've got and a lot of our clients use the PT-P900W) - it does a very nifty "half cut" on laminated tape labels that makes it super easy to peel and stick. Love th…

I run one but I don't runn one - I've met the other Rowan

Another (recently former!) Jafa. Possibly crossed paths also, given how many years in the industry :)

Wow so you work at CDK. I wouldn't wish the sh-t storm you guys must be going through on our worst enemy. I was talking with one of your clients today (we're not competitors) and y…

Close to this market - ShopMonkey is doing it for general garage work, and we, GlobalWorkshop, are doing it for high end/custom vehicles (restoration/restomods/small motorsport tea…

30+ years in the software industry. Everyone did this back in the day - then it changed for 3 reasons (1) completely unsustainable (2) people didn't upgrade, or being forced to upg…

We just had ANZAC day in NZ [commemorating WWI/battle of gallipoli). A bunch of (I'm guessing younger people) are getting up in arms that it's glorification of war and whataboutism…

I was on a 32in 5k ultrawide.. trying out a 42 4k oled just now. My eyes are thanking me for the bigger screen realestate, but I did get used to the wideness of the UltraWide. Defi…
