Didn't Zip pay pull out of Australia? Places are still offering it. I never really used these buy now pay later platforms but you could stretch a purchase out over like 6 months with Zip

Hmm, I thought they still offered it? I remember the reduced/limited the amount you could have without a credit check a little while back.

Zip is still around, they launched a new product fairly recently.

Don't believe so, you can still use it at places that offer it. Pretty sure they expanded the service to also work as a Visa card so you can technically use it anywhere, not just at retailers that offer it (no idea if there's extra costs involved in that though).

The rains have started here

I am still super tired, but laying in bed listening to the rain wrapped up on top of my electric blanket is actually really nice. Unfortunately I can't enjoy it much, because there's so many loud cars and motorbikes around these parts recently, and there's too many helicopters and planes flying about

Also the rains have stopped now

[โ€“] Seagoon_@aussie.zone 2 points 4 months ago

The hail is on you ๐Ÿ™‚

Weirdly smoky out my way. Comes and goes. Or is it just my nose. AQF stations not picking up anything atm.

[โ€“] tone212_@aussie.zone 3 points 4 months ago

Tried those Oreo coke biscuits. Not sure I want to taste coke when I eat a biscuit; and the aftertaste lingers. 2/10 from me.

I've been away for a couple of nights and now Miss Meow has decided I need her constant supervision.

Hehe, TIL I can hear NFC through my headphone cable

I had my headphones plugged into the cable from my PC, but was also using my phone when I started hearing a series of clicks and then a short high pitched squeak. Played around with airplane mode and eventually narrowed it down to the NFC. That's pretty cool!

Now I'm tempted to go chuck some data on an NFC tag and see if I can hear the data ๐Ÿค”

Probably a bad idea, could end up being super loud or something. Who knows. Anyway I'm bad at resisting bad ideas, will be back later with a status update

[โ€“] Baku@aussie.zone 3 points 4 months ago

I did it! It wasn't super loud, even on max volume. It's super cool. Also TIL my NFC tags have a size of ~500 bytes

[โ€“] Pilk@aussie.zone 2 points 4 months ago

I thought there was something wrong with my wired earbuds I plug in to my laptop, because I was hearing clicks in them at random times. Turns out I was because I was putting my phone back down on the cables. I always theorised it was my phone trying to charge itself wirelessly, but it definitely makes more sense if it's NFC related.
