From memory (I haven't lived in NZ for a while now), the WoF check could be done at VTNZ stations, which explicitly did not do repairs to avoid this conflict of interest.
Alas, it looks like VTNZ was privatised and the exact outcome you would expect happened.
A set of tools to making setting up, joining and using a Samba domain on Linux much much easier.
This started with https://github.com/edward-murrell/sambervise - a GTK tool for admining Samba users and groups. I'm currently building a tool that walks a user through setting up a domain, adding DCs, and configuring fileservers and workstations.
In the TODO is making NFSv4 integration with Samba as painless as possible, and some kind of GUI application.
I know how to write code, I just don't have time. AI has been an absolute game changer in let me get OS projects out into the world that I just didn't have time to build before. I'm having an absolute blast spinning up local GUI applications for Linux that I wanted to exist, but didn't have enough motivation to build before.

If that is the entirety of their training regime, I will simultaneously be amazed and change my opinion.
However, I still maintain that if someone is _only_ doing 8 minutes of HIIT 3x times a week, it is not equivalent of a getting 150 minutes of regular exercise per week.
Without further context, it's impossible to comment further.
Fair enough, I don't think it changes my the conclusion though.
On that basis, I would say that someone whose entire exercise regime is doing HIIT a few times a week for 8 minutes (24 minutes in total) is not going to be hitting the 6x multipler required for an equivalent of regular 150 minutes of exercise.
Assuming that HIIT workouts are 100% vigorous activity (unlikely), then a "few" instances would only add up to around 24 minutes of vigorous activity, which is far short of the minimum recommended 75 minutes of vigorous activity.
If you are short on time then performing HIIT for 15 minutes five days a week will get you much closer to the minimum requirements.
The paper indicated the Active group has doing at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity physical activity throughout the week, or 75 minutes of high intensity activity activity (matching WHO guidelines[0]), and have done so for at least six months.
Anecdotally, I and several other people have found smart watches good for keeping track of intensity minutes.
Having extensively suffered the NZ tax before moving across the ditch - but still suffering a lesser version of it here - I suspect it's a question of scale for packaging and distribution.
That switch is probably a relatively niche item when compared to some generic TP-Link switch, and AU & NZ are basically the only countries to use the Type I plug. That means the production run for that switch is tiny - it's probably not even a full days run, which means the economy of sale is reduced.
On top of that, the middle man is probably distributing a tiny amount of these to each store, so they can't just pull out pallets from the shipping container and put them on a truck, individual items probably need to be pulled out and re-packaged. All this adds cost.

Aren't these two sides of the same coin? If we colonise Mars, but leave Earth a smoking ruin, then we've made things worse by trading a planet with a function biosphere for one without. If we wait till Earth is in perfect state before colonising another planet, we'll never leave, and be subject to many of the same risks.
