Neither do I, I live in New Zealand. Agree that I found it odd that US dishwashers don't heat their own water but the rest of the video still seem relevant to NZ. The powder recommendation being the biggest take home for me.

Most tablets I've seen recommend putting it inside the washing machine, normally in the area where you put your knifes forks etc. This means it gets dissolved in the rinse cycle. Most machines I've used have dispensers that are to

I don't do the hot water trick and it still works fine for me. Not 100% sure but I think my dishwasher heats it's own water rather than relying on an external hot water supply so possibly that is why.

I clean out our dishwasher filter every few months and I've never seen any residual food get caught by the filter. As long as you scape off the food bits it's fine. It'd getting to the point where I'm checking the filter

Modern ANZ ones also have the plastic coating as well. It seems to be a more recent introduction though so there are still plenty of non-plastic-coated ones. Is this also the case for the UK/EU ones? I, at least, try and dispose of any

I also see this every time I check in for my Air NZ and Jetstar flights here in New Zealand. But I suspect like many I just by habit press 'No, I don't have any hazardous things to declare.' to move to the next stage of the c

Supporting your counterpoint: I am a cell tower geek and I have an app on my phone that records the cell ID of every tower my phone attaches to. I once flew from Wellington to Auckland on an Airbus 320 and forgot to turn off Airplane mode.

Both commands work in either I believe. I've been using both since my FreeBSD days and now I use Debian Linux with no change.

You could ask your ISP/RSP for another /64? My RSP can do so I believe, not that I've asked.

With IPv6 RAs, there's no need for DHCPv6. I don't use it at all and I use IPv6 just fine on mobile. One place where DHCPv6 may make some sense is the router<->WAN/ISP connection. However once your router has a IPv6 pre

Depends on the country. New Zealand has zero mobile IPv6 users -- not one carrier has deployed IPv6 on mobile (and none plan to do so anytime soon). This includes two carriers that have deployed IPv6 on their xDSL/Fibre networks so it&

A lot of traffic still goes over 4G or even 3G in many countries. Most countries have only deployed 5G NSA (non-standalone) which means mobiles uses both 4G and 5G at the same time. Only a few networks in a few countries have deployed 5G SA

MSFT provides some of the slowest experiences I've had e.g. SharePoint, Teams, etc. Am laughing at the assumption that non-MSFT/etc properties are seen as slower when it is i fact MSFT that are the slowpokes. I haven't used G

Is HTTP the issue here though? Most of the time it seems to be more to do with the server taking ages to respond to queries. E.g. Facebook is equally poor on mobile as it is on my fibre-connected desktop (which I assume is using HTTP/3

Installing Flatpak itself requires root, which means it's adding just a little more attack surface just to use Flatpak. Not a big concern of mine but I can understand why some might prefer not to.

I can't remember the last time I received a gate change notification via SMS. App push notifications are more common in my experience.

In Europe yes. Other parts of the world don't charge for printing boarding passes and it's easy to find a kiosk.

I've had airline machines fail to scan the barcode on my poorly printed paper boarding passes (e.g. faded ink or unfortunate located gaps etc in the barcode area). The solution is simple, just type in the details off the BP into the te

When that happens (and note it happens to paper boarding passes as well) I've always seen gate agents simply type in the details off the boarding pass. E.g. name, sequence number, etc and do a manual entry that way. I've had this

by kiwijamo 2y ago
That's a European thing. Here in Australia/New Zealand it's free to print boarding passes at the airport on LCCs like Jetstar and Air NZ.

Indeed. My passport correctly includes the hyphen in my surname. Air New Zealand doesn't support spaces or hyphens so my surname is written out as both words concatenated (i.e. Onetwo). Qantas doesn't support hyphens but does supp

It depends. Some RCG towers have a single channel (sometimes small 10 MHz bandwidth or large 20 MHz bandwidth) which all carriers share which will not perform as well as some native towers where up five channels are operated using CA (Carri

I have had several Apple devices over the last 20 years and every single one has had the occasional sleep/wake issues. Yes it is generally better but I would stop short of saying Apple has mastered it. I've observed wake failures

Interestingly sleep/wake is something I've found to work almost always just fine out of the box in Linux, including on machines Windows has sleeping issues! It used to be quite bad but things has improved heaps over the last 10 or

Even Apple struggled to get it working perfectly in my experience across several models in the PPC/x86 era. Yes they are better(-ish) but when I had Apple laptops I'd still see weird sleep/wake issues in around 1 in every ~50

There are still countries with zero IPv6 on mobile, e.g. New Zealand. All three mobile carriers refuse to deploy IPv6 on mobile despite two of them doing so on their fixed line networks. Do agree with your point tho IPv6 should be considere

In NZ we also have the Rural Connectivity Group (RCG) which operates over 400 cellular/mobile sites in rural areas for the three mobile carriers, capital funded jointly by the NZ Government and the three mobile carriers (with operation
