Sounds like you probably got a fake batch. I've had good experiences with Maxell batteries, but you have to buy them from a reputable…

A word of warning to anyone buying Govee lights: unless specifically stated, these will lack white LEDs, so the light output tends to look…

Annoyingly, you can’t (not official Philips ones). You can buy 3rd party no-name power supplies for these, but it’s at your own risk.

These are WiFi bulbs. I've been using these (L530 and L535, in both E27 and B22 variants) for the last two years with Home Assistant, they…

95% DCI-P3 is not good, even the entry level gaming monitors now have 100% DCI-P3 coverage these days. Surprising for a monitor this…

> I don't think I can see 4K text on a 27 inch all that well. Text will probably be too small. That's why you use display scaling. Hasn't…

If I'm not mistaken you're referring to the S2722QC, that's the one with the built-in USB C functionality.

You've got it mixed up with another model. The S2721QS is really old (from 2020) and doesn't have USB C. It also suffers from the infamous…

I had exactly the same setup and upgraded to the 5700X3D, I think the real-world improvement I'm seeing is roughly 12-15% or so; it's not…

That's a good point about the better SNR reduction of foam ear plugs -- the Alpine ones do let a bit of sound through, and they don't…

You should try the Alpine SleepDeep ear plugs if you haven't already done so, they're amazing for side sleepers like me. It's all I use now.

Thank you, that cable looks really promising. I also found this one from CableCreation which might potentially do the job as well:…

Trouble is I can't seem to find a DisplayPort to USB C cable that actually works. 99% of cables out there seem to be unidirectional, i.e.…

Yep I received mine on the 11th June, took 9 days total to reach me via AusPost parcel locker. Monitor works great and I'm happy with it.…

It's perfectly fine for thin client duties. Even just using it for day-to-day web browsing, the N100 is quite snappy.

Dunno why it's not working for you guys, 24SS12 works for me. Subtotal: US $98.44 Max discounts & coupon codes auto-applied -US $12.00 Tax:…

Ubuntu Desktop. Especially if you mostly just use browser based Google apps like Gmail, Sheets, Docs etc, will suffice for 90% of your…

I simply went into my BIOS and set the Curve Optimizer to Negative and 30 for all cores:…

For just a dollar more I suggest people go for the Phantom Spirit 120 SE instead -- why not get the better and newer option:…

Yeah I find there's usually a huge price jump when you go up to 18", and IMO it is not worth it. Literally less than one inch of diagonal…

The 18" 2.5K/144Hz monitor you linked looks good with nice specs, but the price is still too expensive IMO. I think you'd be better off…

DualSense controller doesn't normally work on PS4 unless you use a special adapter:…

Works great for Steam Deck and some Windows/PC games where a controller is nicer than keyboard + mouse (including Hades, Mark of the Ninja…

What would that total up to, around AUD $383 delivered including GST? It might be worth it if 4K is important to you, but it's also a…

Yeah that's more like it, over $200 for this is secondhand is definitely not a bargain. No idea why this deal got so many upvotes.

Nice try, spammer. That’s got completely different specs, is smaller, only 1080p/60Hz and is in no way comparable to this deal.

> don't get 4K 32", as the pixels will be still very small. UI scaling has been a thing for over a decade across Windows, macOS and Linux,…

Ha, I wasn't aware of that, those cheeky buggers make it look like a regular red rather than a magenta/pink in their product photos -- that…

A 32" monitor would be ideal for your dad -- I'd suggest a 1440p or even a 1080p resolution at this size. The latter will have big chunky…

If you're using it as a gaming monitor, then this, hands-down. A dedicated gaming monitor with similar or superior specs will always be…
