I don't know why they bother with this sort of statement as it just makes them look duplicitous. If they had just said: "yeah, people were…

While cheaper, they are both infested with advertisements in the interface last time I checked.

hollykryten on Dell 32 Plus 4K QD-OLED Monitor S3225QC $799.82 ($765 with Member's 15% Discount) Delivered @ Dell AU
The issue only affects 4k@120Hz, but that is the resolution of this display. If you were using that mode then you were using HDMI 2.0 with…

Tacooo on KAMRUI E3 Mini PC AMD Ryzen 5 3500U W11 16GB / 512GB $296.65 ($289.67 eBay Plus) Delivered @ KAMRUI Official Au eBay
SteamOS is also an immutable distro, and isn't widely supported with non-Valve devices.

No DisplayPort, so a poor choice for a Linux machine. If the USB-C ports can carry DP that might be viable (maybe with an adapter) but not…

That's correct, yes.

256GB also back up, although it won't process payment successfully. Maybe others will have better luck.
If it's a desktop PC, I would expect the power consumption from leaving it on 24/7 would exceed the power consumption from a mini-pc or NAS…

Ethernet is the last chord you want to remove. It is far, far superior to Wifi, especially given the router you have seems to be pretty…

There's also a few RX 9070 non-xt models that might be worth a look at that the Afterpay code applies to, such as the [Sapphire Pulse…
scix commented on AKG N9 Hybrid Noise Cancelling Over-Ear Headphones $199 (Was $499) + Delivery @ JB Hi-Fi
Spec sheets and the user manual seem to be pretty vague about BT codec support, but it seems to support LDAC (and SBC of course) at the…

Think on AKG N9 Hybrid Noise Cancelling Over-Ear Headphones $199 (Was $499) + Delivery @ JB Hi-Fi
I don't own this pair, but potentially lower latency and better range would be the benefits compared to BT.
It's only the monthly "Large" plan where 5G applies, not the annual.

sam buster on Anko Bluetooth 5.3 Audio Transmitter & Receiver $3 + Delivery ($0 OnePass/ Pick-up/ in-Store) @ Kmart
Seems to be more of a vague opinion piece than any sort of objective comparison. And the fact they consider high-res audio as remotely…

ipv6 support?

Or 3.5mm jack. But both are going the way of the removable battery I'm afraid.

jallen89 on [PC, Steam] Max Payne $3.49, Max Payne 2: The Fall of Max Payne $2.49 @ Humble Bundle
It doesn't work directly through Steam so you'll have to install Rockstar Launcher, which may not work properly on Linux (and therefore the…
@Baysew, yeah, but what have the Romans ever done for us?
This is out of stock now. Seems they have over sensitive anti-fraud measures as my order was cancelled.
There's also a setting in the Qudelix app as well. Classic bluetooth will never have good latency, but it's as good as it will get.
