Free Old Laptop
Built-in keyboard is difficult to use as some keys are locking so you will need an external keyboard. Fan is noisy unless pad has gaming-based cooling like CM Storm. DVD drive is defective and for replacement. Everything else (built-in camera, mic, touch pad, ports, display, internals, etc.) in good/functioning condition. SSD is both wiped and OS-reset. Specs are still okay for present OSs but this is already 5-years old which is pushing MTBF. Laptop and charger only (Singapore plug).
I'll be donating this next week January but if you have urgent need for it until then kindly PM me I can hand it over to you at Tawa Main Road.
Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.

The Hikoi on Tuesday 19th
I copied this from a Facebook page: The expected route of the hīkoi on Tuesday is from Takapuwahia Maree in Esldon towards Porirua and along Kenepuru Drive to Tawa, then up Middleton Road to Johnsonville, down Ngaraunga George and along the old Hutt Road to Wellington. They are anticipating significant congestion on the roads between 06.00am and 12.30pm.
