Me and my wife have to babysit for our 2 grandsons next week for a few hours. We certainly won't be getting any instructions on how to look after them from our son and daughter in law.:rolleyes:

I just keep my phone in a cradle next to me connected to a charging lead so it's also connected to the car. If it rings then I just press a button where my left thumb is and answer it. And to stop the call just press the same button. Don't have to take my eyes off the road. Even my...

No problem with that. You never know what unmarked police cars you may be going past every day. They have enough equipment on board to catch people anyway. The indicated speed can't be less than the true speed of the vehicle and it can show up to 10% above your actual speed. The standard they...

Exactly. They're all on my blocklist, which seems to be getting longer.

Just like what happened to me. I've been wearing a Fitbit for a few years. At the end of May I just couldn't get to sleep and didn't know why. I went to the toilet during the night and when I came out I just collapsed. I came to and managed to get back into bed and slept a bit. In the morning...

Another good idea. They certainly need them for the motorbikes in my area. Especially at the weekends. They seem to think they're on a race track trying to get to a highest speed as possible which makes it so noisy. And should stop the silly little boys in their silly noisy cars.

I've got 2 adblockers on my Android phone and tablet. AdBlocker Ultimate and uBlock Origin. I've never seen any ads on here or most other sites.

When my phone screen is dirty I wipe it with my hankie.🙂

I did say 'up to' but much lower isn't a lot extra anyway. However, they should do what the UK did 6 years ago and ban all these fees.

Have had a savings account with Westpac for 5 years and never had a problem with it. I put in an extra $20 a month to keep the balance higher than the previous month and get about $1,200/1,300 interest a month including bonus interest. Very simple. Can't see why people have to have a problem...

You must be very unlucky if you get charged a fee every time you go shopping. But anti fee people always like stating people get charged every time just to make it sound worse. 🙄 I went to about 6 different shops yesterday. Didn't buy anything in 4 of them but none of them were charging any...

Are you trying to use cash to buy a car? 🤔 I bought a car a few months ago. I temporarily raised my daily limit on my bank app on my phone to pay a deposit. Then when I actually bought it I told my bank how much I was paying the garage and paid that through my phone bank app as well. Didn't...

Personally I've got everything monitored on my phone and computer all the time for dodgy stuff going on. All in the background. Any security that's on your phone or computer just leave it on all the time. If people are going to believe incoming phone texts, like the following, and click on the...

Doesn't affect me. Not my bank. I don't even remember the last time I went into a branch of my bank to do any banking business. I do all my banking online. Much easier.

This subject seems to have brought out the usual loonies.🙄 I've had the MyGov, MyGov code generator and MyGovID apps on my phone for a few years and they always work very well. I don't think calling it MyID will make a lot of difference, but I'll just update it at the relevant time and carry...

Have had the EasyPark app on my phone for a few years. Not had a problem with it. Much easier to use.

Another stupid "digital is bad" story 🙄 My main digital items are in Woolies. I always only pay by the debit card on my phone in the self serve checkouts and the receipt goes straight to my Rewards app. No problem at all.👍 I only use the card on my phone to pay for everything anyway. If...

Everyone must be taking a risk in every food establishment they go to in Australia as there's no overall body checking anything? Don't know why they don't do hygiene ratings like in the UK? They all get visited by the local councils in their area at least once a year and are given a score...

I thought they were going to be banned? 🤔 "Though they are undoubtedly beautiful, even biodegradable lanterns can be incredibly harmful to both the environment and wildlife. Sky lantern litter takes quite some time to decompose, and the wire frames have been known to strangle and maim wild...

NSW Police have confirmed officers are exempt under Rule 305 of the Road Rules. “Police officers may need to receive information about a job over their mobile phones for operational reasons, just as they might need to increase their speed to get to jobs without activating warning devices,” a...
