MyRepublic KEEP AWAY

MYRepublic.Net Australia This has been the most painful experience in getting internet. No one knows anything about how the internet works or the process you need to go through to get it. They made me sign up with Telstra and then cancel which costs $200 "No other way" they said. You will have to call them at least 10 times and wait on hold for 35 minutes each time. Then after 6 weeks you may be connected. Then you will find out they have crippled your connection. You will be behind a NAT!!! Crazy. When they say My republic they mean their republic not yours.

Importing a car from interstate to South Australia

Purchasing a car from interstate to S.A South Australia I recently found I could save $5000 on a can which costs $20,000 here in Adelaide by purchasing it from W.A. Here is my process with a used 2015 Mitsubishi ASX at $15000 in June 2017 Call the dealer and have him take more pictures of the vehicle and email them to me. Tires, carpet etc, lots of close ups. Email me the purchase documents which I signed scanned and emailed back. EFT the full value of the vehicle to them. They ship the car the next day unlicensed. This means they cancel the registration and remove the number plates. The day it arrived in S.A. I got a call to pick it up from Gawler?? Miles away. Get online to Eyzreg and get a day permit for the vehicle $45.  Print out the temp rego. http://www.sa.gov.au/topics/driving-and-transport/ezyreg Go pick it up and drive to Regency park or Lonsdale to have them check it out. No appointment necessary just wait in line. Drive to the motor registration office ”Servi...

Panasonic LUMIX DMC-TZ57 review

Unfortunately I have noting good to say about this camera. After using it for two weeks I have failed to achieve even the simplest of tasks a point and shoot super zoom camera should do. I was unable to get a zoomed shot of a monkey in full light,10 meters from me, not moving. Every single one was out of focus. This same task with the equivalent Olympus was achieved the first time I picked it up. Using the selfie function causes the camera to crash (unless there is no detail in the picture or you turn the mp down) The only photos it can do well are in the middle of the day with a lot of sun, not zoomed. Non standard charging port! Pathetic Panasonic. You can and have done so much better. Back to Costco you go.

IPhone Virus / Adware

Image
I finally got a virus on my IPhone. It's jailbroken so my friends would say 'told you so'. I hit update all in Cydia and assumed one of the tweaks I was using had the virus so I removed them all and still didn't get rid of it. Finally I found the issue was an app I downloaded with App cake. There are lots of them which have evil adware in them.

IPhone battery scam

Image
I've been ordering IPhone 5 batteries over the last few weeks but haven't had much luck. Any battery claiming to have a higher capacity is a scam and may even be a recycled battery with a sticker over it. I was sent IPhone 5c batteries with stickers saying they were for the IPhone Iphone 5. Many EBay sellers are oblivious scams and they all cross ship from the same supplier here in Australia. Pictures below show the difference in ribbon length between the 5 and 5s
