Crazy good price. I originally paid $399 for the WD SN850 2TB back in May 2022, and the SN850P is supposed to be a slightly improved…

Hue is its own ecosystem and doesn't talk to Meross devices. I use Home Assistant to control all my smart home devices including Hue bulbs…

Can confirm that the 1% brightness setting is the same as a typical night light (the ones you plug into a powerpoint), very dim. Note that…

Thank you, this is super helpful!

Does anyone here also own a Zojirushi water bottle -- how does the Owala compare to that? For me Zojirushi are the easiest to keep clean,…

"Unfortunately, you are not allowed to purchase a specific game in your basket. Please contact customer service for further help." Heh…

That Hue MotionAware feature sounds pretty interesting, can't wait for the open source community to do something similar for Home Assistant.

After 6 months, my GT4000S was down to 89% charge. So it could easily go for a year between charging.

> If I leave the cable in, it slowly discharges. How much charge are you losing per week?

That sounds strange, are you sure it's not just the normal self-discharge of the power bank? How much charge are you losing per week?

These smaller chargers almost always throttle after around 0.5-1 hour of max power draw. They're too small to dissipate the heat generated.…

There was an Ozbargainer who is a tech reviewer who did an in-depth review a few years ago. I can't find the original OzB post but I did…

3xcamels doesn't take into account the other discounts that the seller often applies on checkout. This really is the normal price, it comes…

Yeah this is the normal price. Same as the UGREEN chargers, gets posted every 2-3 weeks without fail and always gets lots of upvotes for…

That's absurd. Prices can't keep increasing forever. Yes, AI will always be around in some form, and PC hardware prices will return to…

Yeah everyone's just holding out for better prices. $435 for 2TB is absurd.

NOVOO is generally a decent brand and excellent value for money, but Belkin is top tier, along with Anker. They will all do the same job,…

AFAIK, passwords don't work anymore for most commercial accounts, you have to login through your partner organisation portal and then click…

Been waiting a while for this game to drop in price!

If they work fine for you, then all good. These days you just gotta be careful of fake or low capacity cells which have flooded the market,…

This is the answer. Sometimes this happens even for items without a battery, it's flagged in the system as "hazardous" for whatever reason.

I have a FLIR One Gen 3 and that's never worked for me. Maybe my walls are too thick or something.

Looks like a macro keyboard, similar to the Elgato Stream Deck series. Used for streaming/gaming/drawing/office work.

These moisture meters are generally used to test where the damage isn't obvious on the surface. If there's visible mould then it's already…

The thermal camera would only be useful for finding leaks if you can run the hot water. In my experience cold water does not have enough…

At 10 megapixels with a fixed lens, the photos will usually be a bit worse than those from a decent smartphone these days. Will work in a…

You're better off buying a proper powered dashcam (that uses capacitors, rather than a battery). I definitely wouldn't keep electronics…

If it's going to be a hot day (35°C or above) and I have no choice but to park outside, I always remove my GT4000S and take it with me. I…

Agreed that the GT4000 is the better choice. If I'm understanding the specs correctly, the 15W or 10W charging output of the GP4000 Pro…
