This is a 68040. I had a cut down version (68LC040 — low cost) in my Mac LC475 in the mid ‘90s. You have no idea how slow it is haha.

New Zealander reporting in: only the weird people put egg cartons in the fridge. We buy our eggs off a shelf at the supermarket (not refrigerated) and the carton gets thrown in the pantry or left on the bench at home. No issues with egg lon

My experience (NZ) is that it’s 50-50 whether you get the “Fixed speed camera ahead!” warning before, or after, you drive past the speed camera. (Even approaching the same camera from different directions!) The position of the cameras is co

Here in New Zealand there’s State Highway 1 which runs the length of the country. Because of our geography (long and thin) it’s basically the only way to cover long distances quickly. Inexplicably once or twice a year Apple Maps decides tha

Best childhood memories are from doing walks in the Lakes and having jets zip past in the valleys below. Insanely close, too — I distinctly remember seeing the pilot’s visor and making out white text on the side of the aircraft.

Let’s be honest... that’s exactly what GP said ;)

DJI has a pretty comprehensive SDK, I’m pretty sure that they’ve published the tools you need to do this.

Have you been to a shop that does picture framing? I wonder if you are trying to re-invent (or at least DIY) a picture frame -- you can get a high quality custom-sized picture frame made at a very reasonable price. The mitres will be perfec

The MacBook power adapters here (NZ) don’t have an earth pin, but my MacBooks give me vicious shocks. I always wondered if finding an earthed adapter (must be available in other countries!?) would fix this.

I drove an 1983 Land Rover. The joke is that the other vehicle is your crumple zone, and I’m quite conscious that if I hit anything I will break my nose (again) on the steering wheel.

Aircraft guidance systems have localizers, too. It’s not wrong, and I would encourage the author to leave it as it is.

...and the later Mac Classic had a copy of the OS burnt into ROM. You can boot that OS copy by holding cmd-opt-x-o after switching the machine on. Not only ballsy (unable to fix any bugs) but also a reinforcement as to how impressively comp

My mate just moved from NZ (230 volts) to Canada (110 volts) and he reckons the electric kettle over there is basically impotent due to having less than half as much potential kicking about in the wires. Maybe that explains why the American

As a teen I “learnt” C (and later C++) by reading books from the library. I didn’t have access to a C/C++ compiler (the best I had was a Mac Classic and Pascal). I wrote my code with pencil and paper and checked syntax against examples

Limes (the fruit) are acidic. Lime (the fertiliser) is basically ground-up limestone and used to reduce soil acidity.

My comment was part jest, part awe. I clearly read too much into what you were saying. Apologies.

US$5/gallon is about the same price as our vanilla automobile juice here in NZ. We pick up avgas (half the price) from the small airport near us if we’re doing strictly off-road activities in our vehicles (no fuel tax).

Take a look at the Mi Flora (Xiaomi product) device. Coin cell battery, ostensibly 12 mo battery life, good third-party packages/APIs.

I had 30 min in a certified helicopter simulator earlier this year. The sim was built out of an actual fuselage (Sikorsky S-76) with full controls, visuals were 8x projectors on a curved wall in front of and around the cockpit. Everything w

Counter-point: if your business is selling digital or physical product into New Zealand the NZ tax department requires you to collect two different types of data for the transaction that prove the customer is located in NZ. This can include

Our office (NZ) has no aircon and in summer (ie now) my passively cooled 2015 MacBook is constantly throwing up thermal warnings imploring me to quit apps to maintain performance.

Not only this, but the Laravel PHP framework (such as used by Monica) makes it particularly easy to build and maintain such apps. Laravel is great for other things too — not just CMS-type-apps. It’s phenomenally good.
