eracode:
NZH deaths notices section is run by an outfit called Legacy.

Ugh, assuming that's the same as the Windows software then it's the OpenSSL of genealogy, it absolutely sucks but everyone uses it because everyone else uses it.

Got a travel ins quote sent to my email from Southern Cross. I click on the attachments, they all take me to Money Hub, Initio insurance which I was glancing at a few days ago. Asks me to download and it opens money hub. This is in Safari. Tried on Brave browser, it opens the attachment as it should.

Will try and clear cache to see if it helps but this has never happened before.

Cleared web data for the two sites above and now the attaché ends crash and won’t open at all. Emailed Southern Cross and told them something needs sorting. Maybe someone here knows what the issue is.

That kind of thing burns my biscuits no end. You have to jump through hoops with attachments and other nonsense - which is an extra hassle on a phone. Why can't they put the information IN THE EMAIL ??!?

You can get the date of registration by a process of approximates - find the record between close dates and then halving the range - if still there keep halving - if not go back to the other half range - and so on till you have a day. Deaths are usually registered on the day or next day. That date should be close enough.

The fact that the first five minutes of a ten-minute wiring change takes an hour and the second five minutes takes the other three hours.

I sometimes scan receipts and bin the paper copy. It can be annoying dealing with larger pieces of paper - think A4.

The number of sales assistants who staple the eftpos receipt at the top edge of the larger receipt, covering important information ! When the rest of the receipt is blank or filled with generic fluff like terms and conditions....

People who not only decide to drive in the cycleway, but also park in it because they're "only going to be a few minutes", completely obstructing the way.

You forgot the extra 5 hours to work out why the change didn't achieve the result expected!

Did you not know that...."Cycleways are reserved parking for the entitled!"

Trademe sending an alert to my phone at 1am to tell me something about Reserve Bank interest rates.

This could probably also go into the braindead software thread.

You too? Yeah, thankfully my phone is on DND at that time, but I was bemused to get a notification of that nature from TM.

I don't get many SMS (I have even replaced the Messages app with Signal in my taskbar) and even so my phone is set to DND at night and only very few contacts can bypass that.

DND should be something everyone is familiar with.

I've got DND on, but I also work vaguely in sync with US/European working hours so I still notice the phone flashing at me to indicate something (allegedly) important has happened.

In addition the "ring on repeated calls", so people can get through the DND, has never worked on this phone, so I have to be careful about how restrictive the DND setting is.

The only time I've gotten untimely texts is from overseas scammers with no sense of time zones. They go in the auto-block pile.

"Create a society that values material things above all else. Strip it of industry. Raise taxes for the poor and reduce them for the rich and for corporations. Prop up failed financial institutions with public money. Ask for more tax, while vastly reducing public services. Put adverts everywhere, regardless of people's ability to afford the things they advertise. Allow the cost of food and housing to eclipse people's ability to pay for them. Light blue touch paper." — Andrew Maxwell
