PlasticSpaceman replied to noshopping on Philips Hue V2 Smart Wireless Dimmer Switch $27.66 + Delivery ($0 with Prime/ $59 Spend) @ Amazon AU
I actually moved my hue kit temporarily over to a hue bridge and it updated the lot automagically.
PlasticSpaceman replied to Hank Scorpion on Philips Hue V2 Smart Wireless Dimmer Switch $27.66 + Delivery ($0 with Prime/ $59 Spend) @ Amazon AU
Same. For a while I found they were eating through batteries, but a firmware update seemed to have fixed that.
PlasticSpaceman replied to amsaini15 on Philips Hue Indoor Motion Sensor $40.89 + Delivery ($0 with Prime/ $59 Spend) @ Amazon AU
1. The first one I bought over a year ago is still running on the original battery, and that's in my pantry so it is activated a lot 2. I…

PlasticSpaceman replied to solidfruit on Energizer CR2032 Coin Battery, Pack of 4 $9.23 ($8.31 S&S) + Delivery ($0 with Prime/ $59 Spend) @ Amazon AU
I absolutely hate the packaging, and in addition the batteries themselves now have a bitter coating applied to them that can cause issues…

Check spam/bin - min was in the bin as I guess I'd deleted the message from JB by reflex!
PlasticSpaceman replied to jerome38 on Yashica Snapshot 35mm Film Camera $39.50, iDeerLife [2PK] Rechargeable LED Camping Light 5000mAh $30 Delivered @ HarrisTech eBay
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…
PlasticSpaceman replied to Ham Dragon on Yashica Snapshot 35mm Film Camera $39.50, iDeerLife [2PK] Rechargeable LED Camping Light 5000mAh $30 Delivered @ HarrisTech eBay
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…

PlasticSpaceman replied to jaygee on Stay 3 Nights by 31 Dec 2024 for Accor Gold Status (Normally 30 Nights) @ Accor (Link to Qantas Frequent Flyer Required)
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…
PlasticSpaceman commented on Stay 3 Nights by 31 Dec 2024 for Accor Gold Status (Normally 30 Nights) @ Accor (Link to Qantas Frequent Flyer Required)
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…
PlasticSpaceman commented on Pixel Watch 1 $199 + Delivery ($5.99 Metro Next Day, $10.99 90 Min Uber, $0 in-Store / C&C) @ JB HiFi
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…
PlasticSpaceman replied to ldd-mn on Free for Personal Use - VMware Workstation Pro 17 (Windows, Linux), VMware Fusion Pro 13 (Mac) @ Broadcom
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…
PlasticSpaceman replied to ldd-mn on Free for Personal Use - VMware Workstation Pro 17 (Windows, Linux), VMware Fusion Pro 13 (Mac) @ Broadcom
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,…
PlasticSpaceman commented on Free for Personal Use - VMware Workstation Pro 17 (Windows, Linux), VMware Fusion Pro 13 (Mac) @ Broadcom
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…

PlasticSpaceman replied to Selenium on Bose QuietComfort 45 Noise Cancelling Headphones (Black or White) $279 Delivered @ Amazon AU
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…
PlasticSpaceman replied to hjcoggan on Samsung 32 Inch M70B UHD 4K Smart Monitor (3840x2160), 60Hz, 4ms, VESA HDR10 $397 Delivered @ Amazon AU
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…

PlasticSpaceman replied to tekisei on Seagate IronWolf 8TB NAS HDD – 3.5 Inch SATA 6Gb/s 7200 RPM 256MB Cache $270.73 Delivered @ Amazon US via AU
