Turns out. 5G Auto, on Auckland harbour, will constantly fail as it switches towers and bands. 10 second pings or full speed. Constantly. Line of site to towers, too. 5G On works nicely. Difference between being able to work on the ferry and not.

I get your rant (and largely agree) but if you actually NEED it, see screenshot also, our normal SLA is like 3 hours. But: INSANE demand. Like 2x over normal. Doctors themselves getting sick etc. The flu thing is very very real right now.

The Whakarewarewa Loop is pretty epic. 35km but it’s a fairly low-effort ride on an ebike if you can do that long in the saddle (~3hr). Could do parts with a driver.

It does appear that way. Cheers from waiheke where I’m having a wine out of The Hazards glass I got when we were on your island last year. After a beach walk. Where I saw a Cairn Terrier. So it was a good day.

That thing when you get a new laptop and you realise, to your HORROR, that you are 1 @pepperraccoon.com sticker short! How can I have a laptop without the No Gods Only Trash panda? Fixed, shipping, phew.

So sealink have done a kiosk for tickets. Which is good. Except to get the waiheke resident deal you need to login. With a username and password. In a public space. Seen 2 people walk away without using it. Some didn’t know password, some noped for security.

Bit of Old-ish Skool Psytrance today. Loving the idea of what @sachajudd.com and co are looking to with Lume. I've been trying to make a "scan an NFC tag (with album art on it) on the phone, start it playing in Plexamp on the stereo" thing work. Feels a lot like the old "put a cd in" model.
