In NZ (and probably elsewhere) it is against the law to impede the flow of traffic. Specifically if travelling slower than the speed limit you need to pull over and let other people pass.
Its a fine of ~$150, but hardly enforced.

I found a setting in chrome the other day that allows you to simulate the 3 types mentioned in the article.
Seems like there is more variation in chromes filters than the ones shown in the article.
BTW they look the same to me too.
In chrome: console > rendering > emulate vision deficiencies

More likely a search or wiki index.
Eg. Phil Collins isn't shown in favour of a cricketer from the early 20th century?

Check out ACMI in Fed Square.
They have a section of the "story of the moving image" exhibition on the evolution of video games (https://www.acmi.net.au/story-of-the-moving-image/videogames...).
AFAIR it's not exactly "consoles in display cases" like at powerhouse, but they probably don't have the kit

In Australia and New Zealand other-bank ATM withdrawal fees are $2.
International withdrawals depend on where you are but 3% or $5 (whichever is larger) is common. This is additional to whatever forex rate they give you.
It's only recently that newer banks are removing these fees.
However, accounts are generally free.
