Loose definition of a recall. Newer models are getting a software update. Older models are told to be thrown in the bin and get $100 credits to buy a new one

For early adopters, however, the CPSC and Future Motion are telling owners to stop using and discard the original Onewheel and Onewheel Plus.

For early adopters, however, owners can receive a “pro-rated credit of $100 to the purchase of a new board,” according to Mudd. The credit will only be issued after owners confirm that they have disposed of the old model.

This is a controversial viewpoint on here. You have to be pirating everything and using Linux otherwise you are corporate shill and will be downvoted for having a different viewpoint. Talk about an echo chamber.

I have used YouTube premium for years and years now, it is the best value subscription service I use. I haven’t seen an ad in years, I don’t have to find loopholes and I get to support the creators that produce great content. Also music.

Not defending this practise but this is nothing new and has been happening for decades on other cars. It’s typically cheaper to manufacture everything on mass, including the higher features, and just not wire it up in lower end cars. Very common for things like heated car seats, I remember one of my old Mitsubishi had everything in the seat but just didn’t have the heated seat control button and fuse.

Locked by software is a whole new level though.

Sydney road local here. On the weekend we try to avoid going near Sydney road outside of direct walking distance as it’s miserable to drive, walk, cycle or catch a tram.

The trams are so slow due to cars, which causes them to be over capacity due to the infrequency of them turning up.

It is unsafe to ride a bike as you’ll get doored or you’ll get swiped by a cars changing lanes without looking.

Walking isn’t the most pleasant due to the amount of traffic on the road (noise and air pollution ect).

I shouldn’t be required to drive to go to a business 1.5km down the road.

When you are choosing a couple car spots over the business of your local communities you’re already losing.

I’ve stopped reading them, found the summary to heavily change a story as context was completely removed, especially when political

I am. Not sure why given I didn’t comment much on reddit over my 10 years but the community here seems nicer so I’m more open.

Sydney road local here. In a gist local businesses are losing business to locals as it’s miserable on a weekend for any form of transport that we avoid Sydney road all together. Losing more business than a 2hr parking spot will give them.

I had a longer reply on reddit to this a couple weeks back if people are interested in me copying over.

One of the protestors is holding a pro nuclear energy sign. But they are protesting power cables running through their sites, which will still be required with nuclear sites. Seems like a bit of fear mongering from the national party to pretend they care while they oversee farmland get destroyed for mines.

Isn’t it on android you have to download an app and it only works with the app open? Or has that changed? Edit: that has changed, see response below

I have two phones, one android (work) and one personal (iOS). They use different accounts so no connections between them. My android has never gone off, even with my bike that has an AirTag. My iPhone has gone off with a work colleagues AirTag but not the android phone which was in the same pocket the entire time.

Had many errands to run this morning and meant to be at a mates place right now. However the tiler that was meant to come next week turned up this morning. Very tempted to send them away but I just want to get the job done and Gavin to stop dealing with traddies. Some traddies are just a different breed.

One of the replies I got says you can walk alternative routes and go through parks ect to get to the desired business. So instead of taking the most direct route past all the shops wanting my business I should walk the back streets through the non existent parks.

There is the upfield line path which I ride on a weekday but on a weekend it’s too congested

Saw an ad on Facebook for a ranger the other day, 2 years old 21k km, description read never been off-road, mainly used to go from home to the office. Was selling to upgrade to the new model.

Also I don’t believe these fancier utes are very suitable for actual work, to much precious body work and paint around the bed of the truck. We have some single cab utes at work, and what gets put on the tray I wouldn’t want to be doing on anything I cared about the looks of. Also the height to get to some of the trays is ridiculous.

All I’ve got to get rid of is an old instant gas water heater and a gas cook top that isn’t very good. I would be very happy to. Been waiting for these federal incentives that we were promised last tear part of the greens deal of signing the price caps.

If I’m only planing to use once or twice I’ll see if my tool library has.

Otherwise Sydney tools / total tools just have better quality stuff, especially on consumables. Eg multitool bits from Bunnings are a waste of money.

Talk about a job stretching out and out and out.

I found an article from 2017 that the line was meant to operational by mid 2020. Now they are saying October 2025? The bit that’s taking the longest is the bit where they are using the existing track that isn’t getting replaced? The bit where they are just retrofitting existing stations. Is there something I’m missing here?

Another article from metro themselves in 2018 says that the line will need 3 to 6 months of closures to get the work done. Instead of closing it in one period it will done in a program of shorter closures. And the line is to be operating by 2024.

Now on top of all the closures that have been done to accomodate the 3 to 6 months they said before, they need an entire 12 months extra?
