scix replied to abs898 on GL.iNet Flint 2 (GL-MT6000) Wi-Fi 6 Router, 2x2.5GbE, AU Plug $220.15 Delivered @ GL.iNet Amazon AU
~~Doesn't have 2.5GbE ports, which may be worth the difference for some. Not really relevant for the uplink in Australia, though, at least…
scix replied to DeToxin on DP Dual Monitor KVM Switch DP 1.4 and USB 3.0 US$42.36 (~A$65) Delivered @ Consumer Electronic Store AliExpress
Only with DSC, although it should be visually lossless at least.
scix replied to uccoffee on nbn 50/20 $59/Month, 250/25 $84.90/Month for First 6 Months @ Flip Connect
I can't see any mention of ipv6 support either, which would be an alternative solution to disabling CGNAT.

scix replied to cyberboblouth on Hisource 8-Port 2.5g Ethernet Network Switch with 1*10G SFP Port ~A$80.51 Delivered @ Shop1102880168 AliExpress
I accidentally bought the 4 port model (despite OP's warning) so it looks like a SFP+ upgrade is in my future. However, I would probably…
scix replied to ajs900 on Xiaomi 7000 Wi-Fi Router 2.5G WAN/LAN US$140.73 / A$217.77 Shipped @ Factory Direct Collected Store AliExpress
Pretty comparable in specs, but you get OpenWRT support with the Flint 2 (both standard OpenWRT and their own fork). The Xiaomi appears to…
It's less annoying than installing EA Play manually on the Deck/Linux, though. But yeah, not ideal.

Beyond the other reasons, they can also be used to identify problems in power usage for particular devices (even devices that have built in…
scix replied to Kazusa on ASUS ROG Ally Gaming Handheld $1099 + Delivery ($0 C&C/ in-Store) @ JB Hi-Fi / Delivered @ Asus Store
The OLED does have 90hz at least (which will feel pretty close to 120hz) but no VRR which is a shame.
scix replied to A female dog on [NSW] Nectr 100% Clean Energy Plan: eg. NSW Ausgrid All Day Usage: 31.94 ¢/kWh, Supply Fee: 100.87 ¢/Day, Rates Fixed for 1 Ye
This is why fixed rate plans are recommended (at least during periods where prices are likely to rise), because if you time things wrong…

scix replied to Ryuhayebusa on ASUS ROG Ally Gaming Handheld $1099 + Delivery ($0 C&C/in-Store) @ JB Hi-Fi
You'll be able to get it from third party sellers, but expect a premium (especially early on).
scix replied to at9 on Vornado 660 Air Circulator $179.99 ($169.99 in Store) Delivered @ Costco (Membership Reqd)
There's a DC model of the Vornado too (633DC), which has analogue speed control (and is pretty much inaudible at the lower speed settings)…
scix replied to amityaaron on ANBERNIC RG35XX Retro Handheld Game Console 64GB 3.5" IPS A$79 Delivered @ Lightinthebox
The Steam Deck if you're willing to pay more than these go for (and you consider it a "retro" handheld).

scix commented on Wavlink Active DisplayPort to HDMI Adapter $10.49 + Delivery ($0 with Prime/ $39 Spend) @ Wavlink Direct AU via Amazon AU
The Cable Matters adapter can do 4k@120Hz (and Freesync on Linux with a recent kernel) so the price is justified I think, but only if you…
scix replied to abs898 on Motorola G62 5G $195 (OOS), Edge 30 Neo (OOS) $288, G32 $155, E32 $129 + Delivery @ The Good Guys
It has a better display and likely better battery life, but worse than the 6a in terms of camera and software support.

Sequential read/write speeds, to be clear.
scix replied to penfold81 on Western Digital Blue SN570 500GB PCIe Gen 3 NVMe M.2 2280 SSD $33 + Delivery ($0 MEL/BNE/SYD C&C) @ Scorptec
Unlikely. Even mechanical HDDs have greater than gigabit symmetrical read/write speeds, and there are few wireless networks and devices…
My argument isn't about money, it's about e-waste. And that amount of RAM will become a problem within the decade, as software and…
Servers can easily use more than 4GB of RAM depending on what you're doing. And even if you have enough RAM, having a system that rarely…
Extra RAM can never hurt. You might want to repurpose the device down the line for something that requires more RAM, and you won't be able…

Deal seems to be back up on Ebay Plus at least, probably a different code though.
Even the old rates are horrible, especially the supply charge.
