Welcome to today’s daily kōrero!

Anyone can make the thread, first in first served. If you are here on a day and there’s no daily thread, feel free to create it!

Anyway, it’s just a chance to talk about your day, what you have planned, what you have done, etc.

So, how’s it going?

I got my Pixel second hand off Trade me, less than a year old and an awful lot cheaper than a new one!

Our customs are all asswipes, even if you buy a second hand phone. They'll impose import duties as a new phone.

You're not able to buy second hand locally? I know Pixels aren't sold too widely so I wouldn't be surprised if you can't.

It's worthless, the importers bribes our customs. So the registered IMEI can be removed from database at anytime and the phone becomes no signal.
