An idea to deal with heavy traffic, pods suspended above streets. It could perhaps work, they have similar things in some countries. 
An American firm is currently funding one in Queenstown, should be interesting to see how it goes. I wonder if they'd also work in Auckland, perhaps as an alternative to the harbour bridge.

I have built a PC and thought I had done so correctly. Upon start up, all fans work and system lights come on. I used an 8GB Ram from another PC and know it is OK. I have tried it in all 4 slots!
 When I power on, I get a message that there is no signal getting through to the monitor. All I am getting is a periodic clunk from the optical drive. I have put a WIN 11 OS DVD in the Optical drive and it is not being read. Consequently, the fail is before BIOS. Has anyone ever struck this problem before?

I have recently bought a Moto G04 smart phone to replace my stolen dumb phone ( a Nokia 3310).  I have it connected to our Fritzbox router.  I now have my wife's phone book on my phone.  Some of the people I don't even know.  I would like to delete those that I don't want, but can I do this without deleting them from my wife's phone ( a move that could be fatal!)?  How do I do this?
