I am just jaded about all these new services touting how great it is and have been burnt in the past.

Was just trying to warn you to look at the T&C for the service and thoroughly test it before dropping your other service.

You might want to look at the reliability guarantee if any that One NZ will give the satellite text message feature.

Most likely in their T&C there will be verbiage that says not to use it as a replacement for dedicated services.

My guess is they chipped in so they get access to the US military satellite network for our military usage.

So that when the navy, army or air force are operating away from our shores they have a reliable way of communicating back home and to our allies.

From what I understand is that the warming isn’t linear but exponential and we are already at the point of no return well ahead of predictions.

The world we are leaving for the next generations is going to be a hot drought ridden wasteland because companies and governments for decades have been polluting and destroying the environment in the endless quest for money with basically no repercussions.

Companies have been allowed to dump toxic waste into the ground then walk away from it leaving the tax payers to fund the cleanup.

This is happening because of greed.

This is what OP is talking about:

Most of the ones that you can buy from big box stores will do the job as from what I recall to be approved for sale in NZ they have to conform to fire safety standards.

If you are planning on selling eventually, spending a bit more now for the 10 year battery versions might be a good investment.

PBTech has a good number of off lease computers and they often go on sale around the holidays.
