  1. https://www.thewindowsclub.com/remove-show-more-options-entry-from-windows-11-context-menu OT Love the multi window at the top...beats the old way . I wa typically running Win 10 as my daily driver but in the last 2-3 moths I'm fully on board (YMMV)
  2. Bit late to the party...organising daughters 21st this weekend 🤕 LOL...cheers guys
  3. Looks mint...appreciate the update . Congrats on the QLD trophies, saw a few of your games on twitch - was great watching 🙂
  4. Although bloody expensive I purchased a Victron 12v/15a charger ~ $250. A great charger that has an app ( dont have to use the app and has all teh stat and you can see how it is charging. It checks the state of your battery and charges accordingly in 3 stages. It also has recondition and storgae options. Citek is another popular brand. I did look at the Century chargers but only went to 6amp (wouldn't affect you for just topping up). What I also didnt like is you have to manually choose the correct setting depending on your battery type. - if using for yourself and on 1 car - not a poblem. And for others that read this thread and could be useful is a jump starter power pack (has USB ports for charging phones). So bloody handy - Gooloo - yes, not the best name but has worked a treat. Definitely got my moneys worth with 3 cars and have helped strangers start their car over the last 2 years. I highly recommend
  5. Hey bro, I'm definitely not a Vodka expert but you can't go past Grey Goose / Belvedere/ Ciroc. I always go back to Grey Goose - currently on special at Dan Murphys. Sign up online $57.55 vs $74. Your standard Smirnoffs/Absoluts are quite harsh but as a mixer they are OK. Another tip (IMO) always buy non flavoured vodka and add you own flavours (fruits). It's a smooth drop and I love it on the rocks. You really cant go wrong. If your friend is a Vodka drinker I'm really sure he would appreciate the Grey Goose. Cheers
  6. Unlike Apple there are different versions of Android in what the manufacturers add. I'm an android user but cant stand the Samsung experience. Usually replacing the launcher (changes the way it feels and easier to customise to your liking) Nova and Apex are what I have used previously (Currently using a Pixel ROM with Google launcher). Try this launcher https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.luutinhit.ioslauncher&hl=en&gl=US If you dont like it you can uninstall. If you try it, let us know in the thread, I personally haent used it but would like to kow from an Apple user.
  7. "Few little bits I wasn't too happy with but when you stand back and look at it, you can't see too many of the mistakes. " Just liek when painting rooms where wall meets ceiling LOL - you forget about it after a couple of weeks. No one looks at it unless your like my wife. I like your answer previously and just paint the same colour.
  8. Wow another great post. Love the timber you got - real nice. LOVE the artwork. Aliexpreess for the win (bit late now) for your drill bits. Talked to a tiler a few years ago and made the suggestion. Only done a few holes but still sharp
  9. Far out Pinofffski...ya see my belief/perspective in life is "someone is always worse than what you are". That gets me through. Thank you for sharing your story. - I cant imagine your torment. Kudos to you - Im with Tony 100%. What better to share with ya bros! I was 13 in hospital and a 7/8 year old kid came in with 3rd degrres burns to 80% of his body. He came out of his coma and all he was worried about was what he looked like . He came right after I psoke to him. Long story shortr. You reminded me that everyone has untold stories. Totally different but the same. Im in awe (wrong phrase) of people that have been in situations like yours. I never had that, so my angle is different but when you look at other perspectivges - its similar. Whatever hardships we endeavour (I belive), we are actually bettter off (oxymron?) than people that heavent struggled ( yes, we all have struugles). Trying to express what I'm sayjing - hope you get what Im saying Much love to ya brother!
  10. Hey Gav, Are you going to do a run with just front logo?
  11. About your pool fence, we have the same setup. It is wobbly and freaked me out a bit....nek minute a mates kids climbing the bloody thing - hands on top, feet on the pane. I cringed when I came out. Panel survived - I dont know how. Get yourself a professional window cleaner setup. I use Wagtail - dont fall fo the domestic window cleaner setup - been there done that.. Another tip if you go this way, the smaller the blade, the easier it is to clean . Cant wait to see your end result - getting closer by the day.
  12. I can recommend the xiaomi phones. Had a bunch of them. Currently running the Mi11i. "Most" Xiaomi's have dual sim and expandable memory (you cant use 2 sims and mem card at the same time. ) I cant stand there OS MIUI - but I think coming from apple you'll like it. Admittedly I run the phones on Pixel OS (so its like a Google Pixel) There naming conventions and model numbers are a bloody pain to work out ie Redmi, Redmi Note, Mi, Poco, K series, 12 series. Within each series you can have multiple models ie Mi 11, Mi11 Ultra , Mi11 light, Mi11 Pro and then some of these are 4G or 5G Oppos in general I don't like due to their ColorOS - very restricted if you want to do some changes - it's been a couple of years since I tested one but I cant remember the exact problem but it was a simple home scrreen change and I couldnt even change the launcher (allows your phone to adjust the way you want it to look). This may have changed. The other issue is it contains a ton of bloatware. Xiaomi does to but at least youre able to remove it. What ever phone you get you should look at 4gigROM - 6gig recommended for 2nd tier phones - the more apps you install and have running the slower it is. Poco 4 is great for games whereas Mi series has a better camera. Most 2nd tier phones unfortunately have no local support and typicallly buy from Bangood, Aliexpress . I would stretch your dollar further if purchasing in Oz and get the OnePlus HTH
  13. What information have you received or asked? Company name and GST registered? A Tax Invoice = GST . You cant provide a Tax invoice if youre not registered for GST (you can provide an "Invoice"). Windows 10 Licensed (COA sticker?) Is it one of those systems that restarts after every reboot? what brand of joysticks/buttons? PC Specs? Cabinet material? Type of vinyl used for printing? Is the print laminated? Do they have email/website? I think you get the idea of what to ask for. If they cant provide all the answers then I would give it a wide berth. Nothing wrong with asking that kind of money if you know what youre buying. Its very hard to tell of businesses are legit. Check out other threads from vpin and arcade builds for sale....it's not good. HTH
  14. Wow this is awesome! I've been around alot of kids with missing limbs and motor nuron disorders. This would open up a new world for some. How did you come about such a challenge? Someone who has played pinball or someone who wanted to?
  15. @The Big Easy Thank you for sharing! - makes you feel better doesn't it.? I really can relate and the scariness / nervousness it's bloody overwhelming but it does get better. You have picked a great place to get out and meeting with fellow pinheads.
  16. I typically dont post about everything in my life but this is AA and and even though public it's good to see people post in this thread and I'm lucky to have the brothers on AA and share my story. . The last 18-months 2 years (to November 21) have been rough, never thought depression would hit me at 53 years old - but it did . In a nut shell - daughter going out with a punk - narcastic ,spoilt druggie - bloody hard to stand back and watch . (she's finally moved on now). Wife had 2 strokes within 4 months and then heart surgery - she's 100% now. Lost a family friend to workplace accident, then another to suicide. And lets not forget the 3 AA brothers who have gone to another place - 2 of which I loved and miss dearly. 3 months later, I had to put my dog down - (ive previously put 4 dogs to sleep) he was the hardest cos I sometimes question if I did the right thing (maybe all the other stuff going on had somethng to do with it?) Then the clincher was my dad passing. The sad thing NZ was in lockdown and no entry (well you had to get a lucky draw out of 30 thousand people.) I lierally fell in deep depression and turned into a recluse and quiet person. Well I'm glad the situation is now better! Finally got to see my dad in June - it was like an instant relief. I kind of akin to like someone who has an inner conflict and finally met it head on - well that was me, if it all makes sense,, from that point on I got better and better. I also made a plaque and screwed it onto the park bench where he sat in the mornings with the dog talking to people - this was awesome cos I didnt realise the effect it would have on me - in a positive way. I saw a doc who suggested some treatment but I said wait to until I get back from NZ - I didnt need to now cos I knew I was getting better. He also mentioned to "get out there" I did - I went to my first pinball meet! I was scared as. You AA'ers and pinballers rocked - you all know who you are. Anyway Ive benn slowly getting back out there and I know I'm winning the battle against depression. I also got a rescue puppy (Yay!) which has made me get out of bed early EVERYDAY for the last 8 months(which had been sporadic with my older dogs). He's an absolute menace but walking 3km every morning and thinking of the positive things in life is a game changer. I have life long friends on this forum who I might see on a weekly basis or might not see for 5 years - it doesnt matter - nothing changes - bros for ever. If anyone asks if "R You OK?" Don't be scared, don't be embarrassed, let it out - wether its on the phone, txt, in person, it doesnt matter (I did and you feel so much better.) Solidarity & Cheers
  17. Hadnt changed anything since 2006 LOL...real idiot! lol. I did see quite a few changes , so at least Im not that dumb haha
  18. Did the site get an update overnight? I bloody love it!. I never tinker with setup etc (im lazy 🙂 ) but came on just now and I'm in dark mode which is great with cyan headings. and the background image is pretty cool. Easy access to the menu from the top. I've always taken on changes and never bothered me, I rather just learn to use whatever is presented. This update has changed for the better and is inuitive - love it. Thanks for the good work bro! PS: Hopefully it wasn't an earlier update and not just me (my PC) cos then I'd feel really dumb! LOL
  19. Still remember that day like it was yesterday...could have stayed at the pub all day!
  20. @Brad...good stuff...yep we are the same...like to use a base recipie. Just hadnt heard about your one. I love all kinds of sauces and relishes. Just have to get some jars since I chucked them all out 2 weeks ago...doh! Sick of them not getting used LOL
  21. @ Brad...just got some fresh Eggplant form the garden---like too much ! Recipie please! Also wife just pulled out a bunch of ginger - recipies appreciated (shes bottled and minced but iapparently doesnt last long
  22. 2nd hand is the way to go if you dont want to build - whether its the above outfits or home brew. Correva's was HD . Dont know what the PC specs are. A good price compared to new. I followed both businesses for a few months and wasnt impressed with what I saw. When you buy new youre paying a premium and support is almost non existant. I did some figures on what they were selling for comparing to what parts would cost. At the price point something has to give and that's what was happening - people werent getting what was advertised ie different video cards and screens. Decals coming off, sub standard cabs etc etc. No I havent seen any in the flash but the stories/photos were enough for me.
  23. Thanks guys...was off air in NZ. Had a great day and weekend. Great food and drink but the best was been with family and to finally grieve the loss of my dad back in Nov. It took that long to get back...anyway Cheers
