What has your experience been with a credit union?
  • I was with a semi-local one until recently because they had some pretty hefty account access fees (got charged $40 in a month for what I would consider normal card usage). As much as they had a "give back to the community" initiative behind them I just couldn't justify that financially.

    The one I'm with now advertises itself as a "bank" and seems to be more national but they're still a CU. No monthly access fees, the same level of great service, local branch, they'll donate to a local charity of your choice free of charge, just generally more satisfied with them overall.

    Both seemed to use the same general app which seems to be getting around the CUs and it seems to work fairly well for checking balances and transferring funds. Also works fine on phones that don't run Google services with SafetyNet and all that.

  • Organic Maps is the best open source Maps App I've ever tried
  • Shame it doesn't do street numbers (possibly an OSM limitation?). Other than that, solid.

  • How to download amazon prime movies
  • Most streaming rippers have their toolsets and methods and often tend not to share them in fear of the streaming companies finding out and patching exploits up.

    Hope the content you want turns up on torrent sites.

  • The AliExpress app takes gamification to truly depraved levels
  • At least it's optional and not massively intrusive to the shopping experience

    Temu is like 100x worse, actually painful to use their app

  • 27% of Americans Are Skipping Meals Because of Skyrocketing Food Costs
  • Used to be one of those Paul Blart Mall Farts (it was either do a security guard course for indigenous guards or lose my Centrelink benefits). Back in the days before they put in sensor gates at the entries and exits, you could pretty much head straight back out the front and nobody could stop you. All we did was write down descriptions in a log that I'm fairly sure nobody read.

    A few months before I quit, Coles got rid of us guards because they realised we barely actually did anything to stop people taking stuff. CCTV and facial recognition pretty much replaced guards.

    (For the record, I'm very much a "If you've seen someone stealing, no you didn't" kinda guy now. Last straw for me at that job was when they wanted me to do a course for an army base gate guard. Fuck the troops.)

  • What's a good place online to buy a new laptop for a reasonable price? (In Australia)
  • It also helps to look at refurbished/used for Chromebooks. JB had the Mediatek Lenovo Ideapad Flex 3 I have listed for $550, I found one in practically new condition for $120 on eBay (these were about a year ago when I was shopping for a laptop, prices have probably changed now).
