This is not financial advice. For some people, the cheapest method would be to use salary packaging if that’s an option that’s…

I use Pinchflat to automatically download videos from channels I’ve subscribed to and also my playlists. Everything automatically gets…

Without fail, there's always someone that posts this comment. That's why backups exist.

N100/N150 is more like 6th/7th gen Intel for CPU performance with higher efficiency, except with much better onboard graphics.

That's a seriously nice hardware package in a small case. Proper ECC support, quality dual 10GbE Intel x710 NICs (not the crappy…

My NAS has 128GB RAM and it consumes all of that for virtual machines, containers, and for caching reads and writes. I just bought this kit…

27” 4K is fantastic if you value pixel density like I do.

Fortnite, no, because of kernel-level anticheat incompatibility. Other games will work though. GOG and Epic launchers are simple to handle…

If China can't stop citizens from using obfuscated VPNs, there's no chance the Australian government can.

Yes, you can use a VPN client on CGNAT. You just can't run your own VPN server at home if you have CGNAT, but you can get around that by…

Yep. It needs a newer kernel than what SteamOS has so it’d be best to use Bazzite for a SteamOS-like experience.

Cheers. I’ve always wanted to play this!

A lot of cafes I've been to don't grind decaf beans fresh, so you're getting pre-ground decaf coffee. It also probably doesn't have regular…

I think the intention here is to use both of those uplink ports and use link aggregation. That would be probably enough for some.

Netgear, TP-Link, D-Link and a few others refer to their switches with managed features as 'smart switches'. They don't tend to have the…

What would you recommend instead? Is TM Lewin worse?

NVIDIA doesn’t want a repeat of the 1080 Ti.

The server as part of my homelab is kind of a hobby anyway. My data is at low risk because I practice the 3-2-1 backup philosophy. 3 copies…

My photos alone amount to almost 2TB. My video work is many more terabytes.

They’re not comparable. The Aldi ones are WiFi and Tuya-based. I’ve owned Tuya products from several different brands and they’re all…

Search for 3.84TB used enterprise SSDs on eBay. You'll find plenty in U.2 and M.2 22100 form factor.

I’ve tried, but these leaves are just too large, rigid and abundant that it didn’t feel safe nor practical to run over them with a…

Usually the leaves go brown very quickly, so I guess composting would be better. I just need to stuff them into a wheely bin, stomp on them…

What about Ficus Lyrata leaves? I have a massive tree in my back yard and the leaves it drops are huge. In autumn I end up with an…

FYI you can get third-party ear pads with cooling gel inserts that might help. They may affect sound profile but could be worth a try.

> lol what's wrong with Sydney central? Sorry I didn't mean to imply Sydney central is a horrible place, merely that it's not reflective of…

For those putting down Indonesia as ‘least favourite’, did you visit anywhere other than Bali? Bali is just one island among many, plus…

Thanks, I'm definitely looking at minimum 16GB (ideally higher) for a future GPU for flexibility sake. Thanks for the other tips too!

I use Topaz Gigapixel AI a lot for image upscaling, but I'll have to check out Starlight Mini. It seems like a great option for Apple…

Based on a quick Google search, not sure about this particular model, but some of theirs can have battery replacements. The batteries are…
