Apple and planned obsolescence

Learn from this Guys. My iPhone8 stopped updating the software I realised when I'm looking at Tuesday's weather and it's Thursday. Then I can't send texts "time sensitive" was the message. So I tried to update. No Dice
So I tried to update via iTunes. No dice. So I downloaded the app. No dice and then the phone froze on the Apple support screen. Apple support said I had to take it to the store. Cost me to send it in and have it diagnosed. $70
They (Harvey Norman Wairau) reset the phone and couriered it back. And I'm now locked out and have to recover my account through Apple who via the web told me I have a wait period of 'days' or 'LONGER"
Kewl. NOT. So after a 'wait period' (in their words...1984 anyone?) which Apple assured me their call centre people can't hasten I'm given a coundown...24 hours...10 hours...3 hours...20 mins...
And THEN I'm told I have to wait until November 6th to recover my account!!! It's already been down a week and now another fortnight???
So, yes their tactics have resulted in forcing me to upgrade my old phone. But guess what. Spark are sending me out a Samsung S24.
Goodbye Apple.

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

There's only a few differences between our larger chain supermarkets here in New Zealand. Having someone bag your groceries is one of them.

Does having your groceries packed for you at the checkout influence where you do your grocery shop? If so, tell us why.

As we come up to the festive season, a lot of us want to shop online and look for good bargains 🛍️🛒

Here’s a few tips to help you stay safe, avoid buying stolen property, and not get taken advantage of:
💸If it is too good to be true, it probably is, or it could be stolen property.
💸If it’s being sold as new, ask for the receipt for the warranty. If they can’t provide it, that’s a red flag.
💸Check the seller’s profile, is it new or relatively blank?
💸If you make a purchase and need to meet somebody to get it, choose somewhere well-lit and well populated in public, near CCTV. If it has to be somebody’s home, take someone with you and let someone else know where you’re going and when.
💸Be especially cautious when buying power tools or high-end toy brick building block sets.

Sadly, if you unknowingly buy stolen property, you’re aiding criminals and inadvertently supporting them to steal more.
If you find a suspect listing or social media scam, call 105, or report it with us online at 105.police.govt.nz

Learn How to Enhance Your Sleep Habits with These Strategies

Jay from Beds4U Glenfield

Today, we're delving into the exciting world of snoozing and discussing a topic near and dear to our hearts: investing in better sleep.

We all know that catching those Zzz's is crucial for our overall well-being, but just how much should we be investing to enhance our sleep habits?

Today, we're delving into the exciting world of snoozing and discussing a topic near and dear to our hearts: investing in better sleep.

We all know that catching those Zzz's is crucial for our overall well-being, but just how much should we be investing to enhance our sleep habits?


Let's dive in and find out!

Understanding the Value of Quality Sleep
Before we break down the dollars and cents of sleep investments, let's take a moment to appreciate the incredible benefits of a good night's rest.

Quality sleep isn't just about feeling refreshed in the morning; it's about setting the stage for a healthier, happier life.

From sharpening our memory to reducing stress and even lowering the risk of chronic diseases, the benefits of quality sleep are truly endless.

Exploring Different Sleep Improvement Strategies
Now that we understand the importance of quality sleep let's explore some strategies for enhancing our sleep habits.

From simple lifestyle changes to cutting-edge sleep technology, there's a wide range of options to suit every budget and preference.

1. Lifestyle Changes for Better Sleep
Sometimes, the simplest solutions are the most effective.

By making small adjustments to our daily routines, we can significantly improve the quality of our sleep.

Try cutting back on screen time before bed, establishing a consistent sleep schedule, and creating a relaxing bedtime routine to signal your body that it's time to wind down.

2. Cost-Effective Sleep Aids
If you're looking for a little extra help catching those Zzz's, there are plenty of cost-effective sleep aids available.

From herbal supplements to soothing white noise machines, these budget-friendly options can help you drift off to dreamland without breaking the bank.

3. Investing in Sleep Technology
For those who are willing to splurge a bit more on their sleep habits, investing in advanced sleep technology can be a game-changer.

Smart mattresses, sleep trackers, and adjustable bed frames are just a few examples of the high-tech gadgets available to help you optimise your sleep environment and improve your overall sleep quality.

Making Smart Investments in Your Sleep Health
When it comes to investing in better sleep, it's essential to weigh the costs against the potential benefits.

While it may be tempting to opt for the cheapest option available, investing in quality sleep is an investment in your long-term health and well-being.

By considering the economic, emotional, and health-related impacts of poor sleep, you can make informed decisions that will pay off in the long run.

Sweet Dreams and Sound Investments
The value of quality sleep cannot be overstated.

By investing in better sleep habits, you're not just improving your nights – you're investing in a healthier, happier future.

Whether you're making simple lifestyle changes or splurging on the latest sleep technology, Beds4U is here to support you every step of the way.

Visit our website today to explore our wide range of beds, mattresses, and furniture and take the first step towards a better night's sleep.

Sweet dreams, sleep seekers!

Poll: Would you commute by public transport if it was free?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Using your car is convenient, except for finding parking.

Cycling lets you leave anytime, but you might arrive soaked.

So, neighbours, if public transport had the perk of being free, would it be your main way to commute?
