@alexgizis Hi 👋. Just starting to experiment with Speedify. Very cool. Hit the roadblock that you need a different licence for OpenWRT. understand why, speedservers cost you $$$. Would be awesome to include capped router use on individual plans say 25GB? ...

... that way individuals with travel routers and tinkering can still get that speedify experience on all devices but power users who are chomping the data pay for it... my personal use case is I wan to occasionally peer a lte modem in my ute/pickup with external antenna...

Hey @Qantas. My family had a really great flight a week or so back as the service was outstanding. I completed the survey I got via email but it specifically says I can’t include names. How can I pass on positive feedback about a staff member?

So as a Kiwi wandering around Nevada, California and Arizona it was very interesting to hear the views of people in hospitality. Seems to be a strong swing to Trump on the promise of ending tip tax. This one thing has people talking who wouldn't bother to vote.

Unpopular opinion: I quite like LAX now you can get between all the terminals air side. It’s pretty good to transit thru departing the USA. 🤷‍♂️

Honestly corporate cabs are underrated…. The minor cost uplift vs Uber for such a better service. – at Wellington City, New Zealand

Whenever I see someone with a prosthetic leg I wonder how much trouble it causes them and if their stump is in good condition and well cared for… Thanks @jk_rowling for making Cormoran so real he occupies a tiny part of my subconscious! Can’t wait for the next book :) – at Wellington City, New Zealand

I wish the whole internet was IPv6 now... K thx. Looking at you @SparkNZ and @onenzofficial you guys might have heaps of v4 but not adopting it on mobile does impact NZ’s adoption… at least One supports it fixed… NZ 27% capable while AU is 43% capable. – at Far North District, New Zealand

Most people check out of a hotel room thinking I’ll never see inside this room again. I think I wonder when I’ll be back in this room next. Kinda sad. – at Wellington City, New Zealand
