Dealing with telstra! We are trying to switch from adsl to the nbn, fibre to the node for those of you not subjected to this idiocy.
NBN Co must have got its training from telstra, we live in 18_20 on our street but it is marked as 14_16 on their Google map, it takes them 10 working days to answer an email, after they ignore the first 2 attempts (over 2 years trying to change over).
We now have an appointment for Tuesday for the NBN to be connected so Telstra very kindly cancelled our adsl connection on Friday, try getting anything done on Friday afternoon hah. No internet for 4 days.
Except the minimum phone plan comes with 15gb of data, so we are connecting via the wife's new phone plan  .
As neither of us have ever used more than 1gb in a month I feel pretty safe or cap will not be breached.

NBN was formed by taking people from Telstra and a few others (Optus etc) and a token handful of internet provider outsiders,
... mostly Telsta (workers), and particularly at the top Telsta managers and Telsta's-top brass' mates.
So NBN actually was a chunk of [the once publically owned] Telsta (for which Telstra got yet another boat load of public money as well as retaining a huge chunck of ownership), with a few token hanger-on-ers and decorations thrown to 'demonstrate partiality.'
OIOW: NBN actually is one of the Telsta's publicly disowned bastard children. although behind the scenes though, they remain close.
they didn't need no training from Telstra... they are Telsta with a different logo on their overalls.
This internet thing is amazing! Letting people use it: worst idea ever!

Noooooooooooooo!
Not Telstra. Any-elephanting-body except Telstra - unless of course you live in one of the more scenic parts of the country that needs their coverage.
Oh you poor bastard. Welcome back!

NBN guy turned up this morning with a baffled look on his face - why was I connected to a node 2 streets away when I have a micro node outside the front gate. An hour later he asks me to connect the new modem, having moved the connection to the closer node and I get 45mb speeds - amazing.
With luck I will turn out to be one of the satisfied customers.

And the UX team says the user should have a choice of small, medium, and large glasses.
Tech support complains that life would be easier if the glass were always empty.
Marketing says the glass should be photoshopped to look overflowing.

hello, I try writing CMyListCtrl derived from CListCtrl, in NcCalcSize, I give my list an area as NC area, and then I add three message handle in CMyListCtrl:
ON_WM_NCLBUTTONUP()
ON_WM_NCLBUTTONDOWN()
ON_WM_NCHITTEST()
when I move mouse on the NC area, the WM_NCHITTEST message received, that's ok, but when I click mouse on NC area, neither NCLBUTTONDWON NOR NCLBUTTONUP message can be received. I try it one day more but failed, so I want some help, thanks.

People still use CListCtrl? I thought it was relegated to being the butt of a joke.

Is this a joke? All the posts I can remember about CListCtrl (including many that I've made  ) going back a decade or more were all jokes

In the first of a series* I present: The IoT Egg Counter[^]
Yes! You keep eggs in it! Yes! It talks to a mobile app via the internet! Yes! It tells you which egg to use first!
Or not, according to the comments, like "it loses the WiFi when it's in the fridge", and "it can't count reliably".

OMG.
Even when working as expected there is a big flaw:
When removing an egg inadvertently and placing it back, it will be treated as fresh.

Well yes ... but that's a bit like complaining that the worst bit of the assassination of Archduke Ferdinand was getting the blood stains off the seat covers, rather than its pivotal role in starting WWI

You'll have to use COLD water when washing, preferably with an enzyme detergent.
If you use hot water or tumble dry without having removed the stain prior, the only way to remove it is using oxalic acid.

Easy... it has a couple of places more just in case you buy new ones when still having one or two from previous packet.
