Australian online bookseller Booktopia in freefall as administrators called in
  • I would have bought from booktopia more often but because I use privacy extensions it became impossible to use. I'd get flagged as a not and couldn't do anything on the site.

    This is probably an edge case but it was one of the problems with the site on top of everything else

  • I do. I used to wear one all the time as a kid so it's partially out of habit. I don't like having to pull my whole phone out just to check the time when I can do it causally on my wrist, and I have a smartwatch but the screen never turns on when I want it to.

    I bought an automatic Steeldive watch off Aliexpress that's pretty good and one of the cheapest solar watches from Citizen I could find. Solar watches are great, they're so light and require almost no maintenance.

    I'm not into watches for the fashion so I find so many of them incredibly ugly for everyday wear

  • Got the lenses in my glasses replaced. They made really unpleasant dashes above and below strong light sources like headlights. It got to the point I almost didn't want to wear them when driving at night.

    Turns out the transition coating is quite heat sensitive. I did some driving back in November when it happened and it must have gotten really hot in the car when it was parked because it was alright when driving. Well, I'll just keep these glasses on me when not in the car

  • Got a survey call today. It's the first in a long time becausebmy phone usually filters them for me.

    I've received some weird emails recently too. I bet it was that damn property expo I registered for

  • At least LastPass asks you if you want to update your password after you've changed it.

    I'm using 1password and much prefer it. But it asks when the password is generated. What if the password field has a bunch of rules I need to follow and have to make edits after?

  • Who cares about all that training stuff, I think you mean Bad Boys and there are FOUR of them now.

    Don't you know Will Smith got cheated on and it inspired him to become the greatest actor of all time?

  • I have a business idea for anyone that wants to take it. I noticed Red Hat have a partner page, and their aren't a lot of Australian based companies on there. LibreOffice also has a page about LibreOffice enterprise and LibreOffice in the cloud.

    Go through the certifications and you could have your own consultancy that sets up Linux and LibreOffice for businesses.

    It's not a guaranteed money maker and you'd need to offer other services, but it's nice to know there's an option to get people off Windows. There might be demand for it with concerns around recall and the demands of Windows 11.

    Do with this what you want, I don't have the time, skills, or network to make this viable myself.

  • Who is Australia's gender neutral bathroom?

    You know how people make jokes about Thatcher and Regan's graves being gender neutral bathrooms?

    Who do you think qualifies, or will qualify, for that title here in Australia?
