    This Aussie state’s drivers unlock massive convenience with game-changing digital update!

    I've always said there's nothing like stating the bleeding obvious. You've done that very well Rob44. Planes for sure had it for ages. First HUD in a car was about 30 years ago in the 90's, so nothing too new But, I think the case for tech, is in it's ongoing ability to enhance safety in...

    This Aussie state’s drivers unlock massive convenience with game-changing digital update!

    Possibly may be the case with some senior eyes, or it may be your perception of a difficulty. I haven't had the pleasure of looking at one shown on a HUD to test. Probably have to ask freedy50 to get to the fact of the matter. Appears as though he drives a car with HUD. My car displays speed...

    Rob44, I think from the look of your writings, you already know about the HUD's tech that I have written about here. I really do think that driving in todays world is much safer with this level of technology. I've added some stuff in case others are not aware of what is available now. About...

    :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO: Geez this site is better than tv! All the comments. Haven't had such a good laugh in ages. Oh, my aching guts. Maybe it's just my weird/child-like sense of humour arising even in such seemingly serious debates.:ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:. I always did love Keatings swipes...

    100% accurate statement. That's why I said will hugely mitigate, because the good anti-virus programs react very fast to the new efforts of hackers. Better to have than to not have imo.

    Points of caution: ACMA warns Aussies of loyalty scam surge amid digital convenience!

    I had one of these messages purportedly from Coles yesterday. Very easy to work out it was a scam, as Coles never do this. Very simple rule. If in doubt never click on a link. Another rule of mine is to never click on a link where a supposed celebrity is telling you something is a good buy...

    This Aussie state’s drivers unlock massive convenience with game-changing digital update!

    I love a contrarian view maybe more than most. I also love the way technology is advancing. I think it a good idea that divers licences be available on smart phones as I'm very familiar and comfortable with the digital world that does indeed offer me convenience and eliminates heaps of wasted...

    Stinky situation: Neighbourhood on high alert as ‘poo-petrator’ strikes again

    Different story to this obviously serial offender but with a similar whiff about it non the less. Would have been around 2009 when living in Adelaide we were almost at the rear garage entrance to our house (wide full blown street, not a laneway) when we noticed an old Chinese fella squatting...

    Joke Marriage computer program problems.

    Being a lover of tech, this was an enjoyable read. A little while back, when wife 2.0 loaded up Flirt 4.0 or opened Amorous 6.0 it always cleaned up my hard drive and got rid of those hungry slow-down peripheral programs she deemed annoying. A complete refocus for the whole black box system...

    ANZ customers to endure a long commute due to local branch closure

    After the ANZ, there's only a few options for Katoomba. One is the Bendigo Bank Community Bank Katoomba-Upper Blue Mountains situated in Katoomba. Another is the CommBank (whom I think still has a full service branch there). I recall reading the CBA have said no more branch closures until 2026...

    New budget proposal may put extra $2000 on Aussie households

    This is good news for struggling young families. I sincerely hope they use it wisely and manage to put a bit away each week for lateron.

    Major bank goes cashless to become 'completely digital'

    Bit off the main topic, but there is another one that could be added to your list and may interest some, but it's definitely not everyone's cup of tea.... RAIZ. I have found it has a much easier way to save up for moderate goals. No different than putting your small change in a tin in the...

    Major bank goes cashless to become 'completely digital'

    From the article..... ‘I’d say we’ll be functionally cashless by the end of 2025—it’ll just be a complete rarity,’ Richard Holden, a Professor of Economics at the University of New South Wales Business School, said............ This bloke is a goose. Nfi in my opinion, and his next line from the...

    Greg350, you may know something I don't, but ANZ might be the odd one out on your list.
