I absolutely hate the packaging, and in addition the batteries themselves now have a bitter coating applied to them that can cause issues…

Tesla has already granted your first wish.

My QC35s are 8 years old now, and still work perfectly fine. Bought. Worse case the order will be cancelled because of zero stock and I get…

Check spam/bin - min was in the bin as I guess I'd deleted the message from JB by reflex!

Yep, and even if your budget is under $40 (keeping in mind that the cost of the roll of film plus processing is probably going to cost…

Agreed - like I noted in another comment, if anyone was interested in trying film then for about the same amount you could get an old film…

Film - can buy from Amazon (eg https://www.amazon.com.au/Ilford-HP5-36exp-roll-Pack/dp/B00486ANS6,…

Fixed focus, fixed shutter speed, requires 400asa film, 31mm lens with fixed aperture of F11. If you want to play with film then I guess…

Maybe via a credit card? Anyhow, check when your Gold status expires. Might as well hit the apply button and see what happens - if your…

Interestingly I got an automated response from Accor that seems to imply I'll get extra status points each night that is booked - As you…

For the price it's not bad. I got one at Christmas from Google when it was on sale for about the same price. I will say that it died about…

Oh docker did do my head in for quite a while, but long run I think it was worth it. Running it in a vm is obviously possible, but to see…

Yes, and in fact way back when I did use QEMU/KVM that Proxmox leverages. Proxmox is good for virtualisation and container integration…

Not lowest - got it for $119 last year from Amazon - but it is a decent screen for general use. No doubt Amazon will match TGG. Actually,…

Not negging as I think it's great that they are making this free to home users, and it does have a use, but personally it's too late. I run…

Over 4 years ago I got a "Zolay Lemon and Lime Squeezer" - cast metal, does lemon and limes. Solid as - hand would break long before it…

Well, I got the offer 2 hours ago (I had deleted it without reading). Clicked on the link and it seemed to be asking full price. The T's &…

Heh. FWIW I'm literally using my ancient QC35s at the airport now. They were originally black, but have been used so much parts of it are…

Hmm. Kinda misleading if it's not included as it's one of the five bullet points under "About this item". It does have "****" after it, but…

The thing to remember is with a raid array a data file is spread over multiple drives. The firmware for drives designed for use in raid can…

Kinda. There's this: https://www.bunnings.com.au/ozito-3-6v-cordless-chain-and-blade-sharpener_p0119785 (I use it to sharpen the lawn mower…

Probably mid to low $200 mark. They have been available for under $200 a few times when Seagate do promotions - with cashback or providing…

Yes, but different use case. Fine for a pc, and yes you can physically use them in a NAS, but 5400 vs 7200 RPM, 2 year vs 3 year warranty,…

At a very general level a NAS drive is optimised for random read / write, a surveillance drive is optimised for sequential read / write.…

FWIW My steeldeck version was initially pretty good but it soon started to struggle cutting through my evil kikuyu. I found that sharpening…

Same - also took payment out (of my BankWest card) on 19th Feb. Tried logging into netflix via vpn but it would not let me login so suspect…

Thanks, OP. Cheap as the proverbial - at $15.50 how bad could it be.... I guess I'll find out. ;-)

I know - I actually copied it from the site itself when I went to check it out, and hadn't noticed you had as well! :-)

Oooh. "Collapisble triod design".

FWIW Also adds in "Shipping Insurance" so the UDM-SE comes to $907.04 shipped with $23.89 insurance.
