State school? There should be a way to fight that. Completely ludicrous. No other school does it. Or avoid the fight and don't use their…

Option 3: rent out the whole house, and rent a room in somebody else's house. Lots of variables. Unless you are really keen on living…

Your name goes on an SD card. Might as well just broadcast your name by radio wave, then print it out. What the hell, lets try adding Al…

Not by my experience with bureaucracy. Not schools anyway. Easier to get forgiveness than permission.

So ignore it. Our school had similar, though not so extreme list, basically describing the Surface Pro, but allowing for a Lenovo…

How about a micro-PC with a Kensington lock then?

Why do they only promote these for phones and tablets? At 45W, it is more than capable of adding extra hours to my laptop if running low.

Only 37? You are not trying. Trick #1 is to load the camera in the dark - that gives you an extra couple of fames at least.

My apologies. It is really hard to figure out, but looks like it can actually do 30W +20W +15W on the A-ports. So 65 W total it is ? 45W is…

Please don't retweet bullshit. How can it be 65W if 45W is the max? Is this a bargain for a 45W PD power supply? I don't think so.…

No, I'm happy with my setup, just curious. All I wanted was to isolate untrusted IoT devices from my LAN. Wondering what else peopel do in…

And it is non-upgradable. Who do they think they are? Apple?

nice price compared to Cisco, but I'm curious what are the benefits for a hobbyist getting a managed switch? Compared to a OpenWRT/opnsense…

Only $3 for a good one on Aliexpress. The problem is figuring out which is good, and which will fail soon, or not even fast-charge.

TRS applies to "refurbs" as well. But if you claim a $2000 laptop going out, you will have to declare it on the way in, and in theory pay…

> For many, $350 is a big save already mate. This is Ozbargain, not Beverly Hills. Then why are you looking at macbook pros? If money is…

Utterly ridiculous. I made the mistake of buying from the school's list when my eldest started high school. Look for a good ex-lease…

How does it compare to macbook Air for that sort of work? Same price for 16/512GB.

Sorry, I missed the abbreviation. In that case, you should have no trouble converting the battens with LED strips. Would you consider…

This is Ph.D.-level DIY. Do you have experience with plumbing and electrical? Perhaps regassed your car air-con? Well worth paying…

Only a million. rule #1 is to get an install kit with pre-flared pipes. You may think you are good at flaring from LPG or water pipes, but…

Looking at your installation kits, FYI, "first floor" means upstairs in Australia. You mean "ground floor".

Easy Peasy. I have an external SSD with Ventoy for OS installs. I just added the Windows 11 ISO to that, and did a clean install to the…

Eh? Whats that?

They really don't like giving specs on these. I'm guessing 45W means it can do 15V @3A ?? Good for Macbook or Surface. Some Dell. They only…

As long as it has been upgraded to 8GB RAM, Ubuntu should run OK. Big Sur would not be much use for web access now, as even Chrome has…

Wikivoyage? Lonely Planet is not the same since the Wheelers sold it in 2007. It was essential for backpackers back in the day, from Angola…

> I'd like to reuse the locations of the existing tube lights. Why not re-use the housings? Remove the tubes and transformer, install 12V…

That's how the term originated. E.g. from Apple. Then the scumbags started using it with any used items. Like a "villa" was once a rural…
