I think that all sellers should have to disclose what courier they use. Also ones that say no PO Boxes and then go and use NZ Post so it could have been a PO Box instead of a long drive to the depot on saturday because NZ post wont take their buggys down driveways so say its too hard to deliver.

Wanting to delete the most recent photo on my phone, being a bit distracted, and not realising that the thumbnail represented the entire folder full of photos (with the most recent one shown as the thumbnail) and not just the one photo.

Can anyone recommend any decent photo undelete apps for Android, before I go through about a hundred of them in turn to find that none of them really do what's promised? They're not in any recycle bin, I'm not using the Google photo app so I need an actual undelete app.

mudguard: What were the SD cards in? A GoPro? I must be lucky with mine and I don't think I do anything special other than format before use.

This latest one was in an Insta360 X3. Generally don’t have issues in my GoPros.

Senecio: Micro SD cards.

Honestly, is there a piece of modern technology more unreliable than a micro SD card? Had another fail on me yesterday after a whole day of filming while travelling. It’s not like I’m buying cheap knockoff cards, these are Sandisk Extreme Pro cards from a reliable retailer and yet they keep failing.

They need to have something like smart on SSDs for when they're about to fail. Sometimes you can tell because they start to get really really slow but most of the time you just come back to a camera that isnt recording and shows that there is no card in it.

That’s what happened this time. Finished recording my last clip, turned the camera off and put it away. Got it out 10mins later to download the footage and I get “no SD card” error.

A not so minor annoyance is how the warehouse seem to have the ability to list products on their web site with zero product information on them. One picture, a title and that's it and I am expected to make a purchasing decision based on that.

Changes to a system that I use that prevent me from progressing the reporting of a client lifecycle - which is required to report on performance.

Grrrr...Not a fan of customised Salesforce.

Geez that makes me so mad too, am glad someone else feels the same. It’s downright sloppy. You expect a description, and bare minimum dimensions etc. Their searches are hopeless too and half the time goods in store are not even on the website.

When I was in Sweden, websites had very possible detail on their items. NZ sellers could take a leaf out of www.jysk.se who not only have the dimensions but the material of every part of a desk for example, plus the instructions for assembly.

At least they accepted my product review.

Insurance companies who have pre-approved the costs and demand invoices within 5 working days and then take 6 months to pay on them.

Anon I'm looking at you...

The absolute rort that electric toothbrushes are in NZ. Case in point, Oral-B Pro 2000 in NZ from a generic supplier, $159. Exact same thing in Australia from a generic supplier, $69, and that includes free shipping to NZ.

In particular, the Pro 2000 not in NZ is only marginally more expensive than the cheapest junk NiCd-battery model in NZ - that's the batteries that have been banned for sale in Europe for the last fifteen years or so.
