Speeding up old iMac / Macbook Pro

Anh from Northland

I recently helped a friend with speeding up his early 2008 iMac by upgrading the RAM and replacing the hard drive with SSD (solid state drive). It's now 10x faster and running OSX El Capitan, he's extremely happy with the speed right now.

So, if you have old iMac, Macbook pro lying around you don't want to open it yourself to install the RAM & SSD. Let me know, I can help with that.

Cheers,
Anh

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

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)
.
Do you think NZ should follow suit? Vote in our poll and share your thoughts below.

Combining biking with bus travel

Sue from Brooklyn

Hi neighbours
Anyone out there who, like me, would love to bike more, but have difficulty getting their bike on the rack on the bus ? It's sometimes necessary, so as to avoid steep hills and roads where I don't feel safe.
Metlink say their drivers aren't meant to help.
