Yea, I'd edit if I could. But unfortunately that's not possible here.

Sorry, in this context I mean the ones that have no international transaction or conversion fees, as listed in the linked wiki. Just local…

Oh, @etlok if you do go this approach make sure it is a **debit** card if you plan to withdraw cash. The credit cards (listed on the same…

Wise does charge a 1.75% fee if you withdraw over AU$350 in one month:…

If you use a fee free card, you get the raw Visa/MasterCard rates. Which is more or less what you see when you Google "aud to jpy". If…

For anyone who missed out on the [512GB for $30](https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/840129) and also doesn't need quite that much storage.…

Ah, they're sending one out now. At least that was fairly easy.

Was there just a couple weeks ago, @chinospot's comment matches my experience exactly with a NAB (formerly Citibank) debit card. Select…

Does yours have the SIM tray? Mine appears to be missing it.

Thanks!

But why 45% specifically? What's so special about that number? It's not just the one panel either, it's a common budget colour space across…

You have it backwards, look at the graphs. 72% NTSC is approx 100% sRGB. I would love to know why 45% NTSC is so common though.

That's a good question. I confirmed last night that an S22 (Ultra) does not support it even with OneUI 6.0 / Android 14 installed. MEP…

Perfect, thank you!

Thank you for testing! So if you disable SIM 1, it works fine with both eSIM 1 and eSIM 2 enabled? If so, that's great, exactly what I was…

That's not quite the same thing as dual-eSIM, where you can have two different eSIMs active at the same time. That's the bit I'm interested…

I'm considering a new phone and want one that supports dual-eSIM. It's supported on the Pixel 8, and should be [part of…

Lower latency and better localised search results, primarily. Roaming sometimes means your connections get routed back to the issuer's…

Ah, that is unfortunate. I was looking at TravelKon who have an option for Docomo IIJ eSIMs, since local is usually my preference. Thanks…

What network do you use in Japan? Are they fully local or roaming?

They wouldn't be, since the RCM is only required if it's above 50 V AC / 120 V DC.

All 100W needs is thick though power conductors and an eMarker chip to indicate the supported power level. Meanwhile higher transfer rates…

100Mbit ethernet is a joke for Skylake gen. Especially when small boards like this are likely to be used for home servers or media PCs.

Many years ago at the height of the Li-ion scare they replaced a new tablet with faulty speakers. But they needed me to send the old one…

70% works better as a disinfectant. Higher concentrations apparently act too fast and don't penetrate cell walls as effectively:…

100% (90%+) is typical for cleaning electronics (PCBs). 70% is best as a disinfectant. I suppose you could use it at 50% for general…

I actually find I end up further away from laptop screens, because they're attached to the keyboard and would require leaning down to be…

I've used them before in NUCs with constant writes that burn through a SSD's endurance. Boot speeds and high IOPS don't always matter for a…

The generation and therefore architecture matters far more. Any Atom-class uArch prior to Gracemont is pointless, and even Gracemont is…
