Well written synopsis of the coalition government's abysmal performance over recent weeks. In my opinion Luxon is too hamstrung by his coalition partners to send this miscreant junior MP to political oblivion as she deserves. Costello's "independent advice" turned out to be no more than a half arsed Google search of documents that supported her 50% excise tax cut on Philip Morris's HTP devices but failed on the relevancy and timeliness fronts. A first year uni student would have been able to do better. But still Luxon maintains his 'spray and walk away' support of her actions.

Flooding in northern Thailand meant several Elephants in a nature park had to be evacuated. One elephant is blind so the others called to it to help it find them.

I couldn't help wondering how many politicians in similar circumstances would lift a finger to help anyone...

As per the title.

Just installed W1124H2 ( Pro) on a non compliant Hardware ( thanks Rufus)  ( update due to be pushed out as of now ->>)

It breaks all shared folders that are not password protected.  Any shares that are pass worded work fine, but there are many people whom set it up so a NAS doesn't need a password. Sorry wont work any more just a warning about unsecure etc    Article Describing 

The "Workarounds" MS post don't work, including these Microsoft work around

Anyone find a solution -- much apricated -- In mean time still  looking 

Well...he would, wouldn't he...

He at least had the grace to qualify that with 'better for the economy'.

It certainly wouldn't be better for women. Or poor people. Or migrants. Or anyone who wasn't well off.

Idiots.

Despite appeals from Forest & Bird, the mining will go ahead. Much of the problem is that jobs aren't exactly plentiful on the Coast & mining has been the main work there since the 19th century.

And according to their own expert, there's "no need" for the mine.

Been given a Samsung Tab S SM-T805Y but the battery is very weak. It takes a couple hours charging+ before it can be booted up. It appears to need to get to 20% battery before it can start.

Want to get a new battery and have been studying. Keen to get it usable for the grandson.

There's number of models with very similar numbers like the SM-T805. Is this close enough match?
T800, T801, T807 etc
Interestingly, Wikipeadia have a page of info about the Tab S but SM-T805Y is not listed, closest is SM-T805.

Found a great Youtube tutorial for swapping in a battery.

What is there to know about buying a battery?

Thanks for any tips.

Never heard of this one before, but it sounds quite nasty. Similar to phishing, it attemptds to get bank account details using technology not seen here previously.

Just bought this - a fiddle to set up but I got it working. It sends and receives texts, and can originate calls, but not answer incoming calls. I've reseated the sim card, done a restart, checked diverts - there seems to be no option to turn these off. The phone was sold as "network 5G" by JB Hi Fi - no provider specified. We are using a One NZ SIM, which works fine in another (dumb) phone. Any suggestions?
