It would appear #Google has bricked gen 2 #chromecast devices. Yes, I've tried every workaround there is, before seeing an army of disgruntled peeps on reddit who are so pissed off! Oh well, include me, no warning, and it was working well for so long!!!! Perhaps it's not as easy as updating an expiration date in a table, but ffs how long will it take? Or not?
And yes to the kind overseas Belong support staff who had me under the belly of the nbn box so they could run tests their end. Dude, I said dude, happy for you to do that stuff on the back end to test, but as I use to work in a similar role to you, please don't make me do....1,2,3,4,5. Of course, he did! And there at the end of a very long excruciating call the obligatory, "thank you for your patience" was offered. 🤷‍♀️

You know if a #film is going to grab your attention, or not. I saw the opening sequence for the movie HERE and then woke up to the credits at the end, lols. Whatever happened in-between I'm completely in the dark about.

Awesome to see Qantas and Jetstar acknowledge women's achievements in the sky! You may have been lucky enough to have an all #female crew this week.

I always feel much relieved to have a female #pilot. And have been lucky enough to be flown by the amazing Deborah Lawrie. (https://findingher.org.au/directory/deborah-lawrie/?hl=en-AU). She remains an inspiration to gurls who wanna #fly

A whole new bunch of pilots and female engineers are now coming through the clouds. Happy #iwd2025 for tomorrow 💓 ladies!

This is from Trina Massey's office...
"The system is slowing down which means that we will get more rainfall than if it was moving quicker. The models are predicting that flooding will be worse than 2022. If you know you are at risk of flooding and your home won’t be safe, please consider evacuating before it’s too late."

@ash you mean like Capricorn One? But today's version has been devised by Elon Musk. Clearly, the man will stop at nothing to perpetuate a hoax of enormous proportions. He's bought the land, sea and airspace off the coast of QLD, all in an attempt to experiment with a wind machine? He's chosen our small patch of the planet, because his weekly export of bananas and pineapples has been curtailed due to possible tariffs. It's also rumoured a Queenslander gave him that haircut! He's pretty angry and you can see why!!@
You mean that sort of conspiracy 😏

I'm watching Blake Lively get it on with Justin Baldoni in It Ends With Us. It's free on Prime. And all I can think of, is how much she must have hated doing 'those' scenes! Hard to believe this was a cinematic release. So far very made for TV. #film

@SuperMoosie I'm not sure there are any safe spaces any more along the coast. It's 💔 to hear or see stories that ended in tragedy that could have easily been avoided.

What brave volunteers we have in #Queensland!

Seeing these twits still on the beach and some still in the water is so cringe. Clearly, the $16,000 fine isn't enough of a deterrent- but these morons are distracting emergency services, and those who will need bonafide help! #CycloneAlfred

Prompted by tonight's #pizza theme. The forbidden pizza #song

@azninsect thanks for the heads up! I'm definitely going to try them. OMG I shouldn't have looked though haha

AI just created this for me...
Prompt: #geekgirl eating a pizza lols
🍕 😋

@teddie Its a really long time ago, and we were on holiday. Didn't have much notice, but because we were in a hotel and the locals there are quite accustomed to cyclones, it did its thing and it was over. I think we all congregated somewhere and after a day it was done! @caity

@azninsect ikr

@rae 🤭

@cgt totally! I'm even considering one more ride in the elevator before they get shut off! Lols
What's with the delay and Alfred showing up late!? Argh...

Why do I want a pizza so badly, when I can't get one? 🤔

What's the story? Morning glory@!

Anyone who hasn't yet seen the #Emergency Kit #Checklist, this may be helpful. Some of this probably more pertinent if you are in a house. But, still generally good advice!

I"ve just been advised that our lifts might be turned off too. I'm not aware of any of my neighbours that have a #disability on my floor. However, please check in on your #elderly neighbours or those with #mobility issues, in case they need assistance!

#BePrepared #Cyclone #Alfred #SouthEastQueensland #Brisbane #Meanjin

Wow, this #cyclone is anticipated to be bad. :( City cats in Brisbane will stop service operating as of tomorrow, and my building is organising flood management meetings. Sounds like people are also panic buying, but I'm not sure (other than fruit), what to get if the power goes off! Maybe if you live on the riverside of West End have a backup, if you need to evacuate 🤔 #Alfred

Who wished Albo happy birthday then? 🤔 thought so, lols.

What could possibly go wrong?
#animal control..
Or out of #control
