~~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…

Only with DSC, although it should be visually lossless at least.

I can't see any mention of ipv6 support either, which would be an alternative solution to disabling CGNAT.

I can recommend the [Cable Matters 202095-E](https://www.amazon.com.au/Cable-Matters-Ethernet-Adapter-Supporting/dp/B0856V9FDH). Uses the…

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…

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…

The OLED does have 90hz at least (which will feel pretty close to 120hz) but no VRR which is a shame.
17/12/2023 - 16:10
This is why fixed rate plans are recommended (at least during periods where prices are likely to rise), because if you time things wrong…

I'll add that if you're a Steam Deck or Linux user you'll want [Heroic](https://heroicgameslauncher.com/) for Amazon, GOG, and Epic. The…

You'll be able to get it from third party sellers, but expect a premium (especially early on).

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)…

The Steam Deck if you're willing to pay more than these go for (and you consider it a "retro" handheld).

>have quality and game mode (40ms). Any examples? I would have thought only LE Audio/LC3 can achieve this (and support is very new) or…

>Half life 2 (incl episodes) still hold up in 2023 too The VR mods are very good as well. Not quite Alyx level, but close (and you get to…

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…

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.
18/08/2023 - 16:00
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…
07/08/2023 - 09:50
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…

XCOM has pretty good native controller support from what I remember so even without the touchpads it should be viable. I don't have an…

You have access to most of the PC library that exists (30+ years), plus emulators covering everything up to the Wii U (and Switch/PS3/X360…

Deal seems to be back up on Ebay Plus at least, probably a different code though.
20/07/2023 - 14:39
Even the old rates are horrible, especially the supply charge.
