If you have applecare and need a repair dont stuff around with apple stores just go to mymac in the city. We’ve been playing “is it cracked enough yet?” for months! Mymac were like “its damaged. its your care plan, lets fix it!” no debate no arguing nothing. Heaps better!
They’ll just bill Apple as a replacement and provide ‘evidence’ if asked.
I tried claiming something from Google on warranty, ended up going to JB and they swapped is straight away.
My original purchase was from the Google store.
I like Samsungs approach best. No questions asked phone ususally back from repair within 24 hours.
Apple complaining their insurance company is being difficult doesnt fly with me. I purchase apple care FROM apple. Imagine having the nerve to tell your boss its really chat GPTs fault you stuffed up, not your own.
Another reason I’m not huge in Apple products.
Google too, but no physical stores to complain to.
yeah hard no on no physical stores for google. Hard no on the prices they are charging for non flagship specs as well. Apple are bad for setting the cost so high, samsung are shitty for following suite, google are out of their minds for trying to match.
I had to return my old Pixel phone, and while there was no store, the process was as seamless as Google could make it. They were pretty good about the fact that the phone was 2 years old when I ran into issues (I forget now what was wrong with it). It sucked that I had to use an old phone for a week, but they shipped me out a refurbished phone that was indistinguishable from brand-new to my experience.
I’d have preferred the ability to walk into a store and have my own phone repaired/returned to me inside a day. But I felt looked after with the service they were able to provide.
I tried getting pixel buds replaced about 18 months after purchase. One simply died.
Was given the runaround on the phone for a bit, got fed up and rang my local JB.
Went in and they organised everything in less than 30 minutes.
Called me the next day to come and pick up a new pair. Apparently once Google accepted their return they can issue a replacement from their stock.
Watching Who Framed Roger Rabbit and hoooly shit i forgot Donald called Daffy a hard r
Donald’s a 1940s guy. He honestly probably would
My nose is stuffy can’t sleep. Was feeling fine today but something buggy has developed over the course of the evening and I have that cold/flu taste in back of my throat. Noooo.
🤞
get some Codral, behind the counter at the chemist
Junkie lady is having a meltdown next door. It was almost a perfect day. Date was awesome, the day went fantastic.
And this is why I hate the company I’m leaving. I’m stuck here for another 6 months.
Ah well. Can’t win em all.
Damn, I was wondering about your move. I guess getting out of work was more important, you have to prioritise and do what you can
I know exactly how it feels. Hang in there, you will be getting out
But we can win some.
We can :)
I had a great night, got to make some new music with a trained pianist which was awesome!
Damn another 6 months? I thought you’d be starting sooner.
Probation is 6 months and real estate won’t touch someone on work probation as you can be fired for no reason with 1 weeks notice.
oh bugger, now I understand!
Everytime I read the DDT, I am always in awe at how such a community exists. I’ve never seen any online community that’s as wholesome as this.
It is something reaḷly special especially at the moment
Wanna fight?
🥊
And you are a part of it. 🙂😘
I really appreciate it too. Feel lucky to have stumbled into it.
I’m rude to plenty of people in real-life, this is an good outlet for niceness.

that’s like something from a SpongeBob movie soundtrack. Not that i would know .
On the airbed at the new place tonight trying to get the cats acclimatised somewhat before the Truck tomorrow. LittleOne coping much better than TheVoid. The bottom corner under the stairs is his lair now and he is NOT coming out. I feel so mean.
Handover documents are almost done.
Spoke to my old manager.
Turns out it’ll cost twice as much to replace me than what I was asking for a raise.
Fucking idiots.
Are you collabing with my neighbours? She’s at it again.
Go out back. Lean over the fence and say " excuse me, can you not sing outside this late please?"
Long long day out in the heat but at least I was out in the hills all day so that was slightly less heinous. Something that really unexpectedly lifted my spirits on the way back was having a ute coming in the other direction flash me a warning about a mobile speed camera ahead (although I already had a warning come up on Waze). Idk why but it was just so heartwarming. Maybe they were being extra nice because I was in a work suv with high viz on. (I know it’s a done thing especially outside the city…)
I also saw an old cream-coloured 60s car (Chevrolet?) with club permit plates… that was a LEFT HAND DRIVE. I thought you needed a sign on the car but evidently not. Props to the young woman driving it who had to look around pretty well to merge and shit
Time for a nice cold shower and scrub, and then maybe one of those shitty frozen fillets with a bit of raw carrot and celery, and call it a day. Back out west tomorrow ugh.
I think I’ve caught a cold, bleh!
All blocked up and back drip making me cough while sleeping :(
if its the one I had last week it was gone in 48 hours.
Sadly I’ve had signs of it since last Friday/Saturday.
My parents had carpet in the kitchen. Dumbfucks.
I lived in a house with a carpeted bathroom. It was gross.
I saw that in a friend’s place once, they even had carpet right around the toilet
the final clean out has commenced
packing starts tomorrow
🙂
While packing and moving is always a pain, no matter how well practised, think of how good being close to the beach is going to be! Beeeeach!
Beeeeach 🥹
Mental health
The sketchy junkies have been going past my place at night again (more frequently) and the break in nightmares have come back.
I’m trying to use hobbies to distract myself but I’m so tired.
I’m sorry you’re experiencing that shite. Fkn junkies, just make everyone feel unsafe and seem to get off on it like they’re tough shit.
I wish there was something tangible I could do to help you feel safer, Melb 💜💜
Thanks. I don’t really care what anyone does with their life but I am so tired of watching my back.
next steps (when i can be arsed)
- Cut down the top doors so we don’t have to open them to roll out the drying rack
- paint top cupboard innards / shelves
- fit a drawer facade (tasmanian oak, stained to match the frames)
- Test route the offcuts, if the chipboard holds up, put a nice decorative groove on the doors, paint, maybe jus up the inset with some greenery / tropical wallpaper (going a victorian theme in here)
- fit something along the line of these babies!
…not necessarily in that order
(please excuse Mount Washmore, 'tis the day)
