I have a 533DC on the kitchen bench and a 633DC on a bedroom floor. 533DC is more compact but the 633DC is nicer if space allows (not that…

>also please correct me if I am wrong. but google account is many services including Youtube. so maybe Google Drive and Gmail will require…

For noise control, I'd recommend a DC model (Vornado or otherwise) as you have much wider speed control and can set the ideal noise/airflow…

Was playing NFS SE just the other day on my midlife crisis 86Box build, though I thought of the NSX as one of the more boring cars in the…

From what I've observed, the different revisions most often relate to them swapping the WiFi adapter to a different brand, such that it's…

Yeah, that looks widely reported. Interesting they're still having PCIe stability issues - I remember having the Z690I Aorus Ultra on my…

They also reduced the width of their standard paper towels recently, from 21.5cm to 19.5cm - main reason I noticed is my cheap plastic…

The upper-case C has always felt off to me so just looked into it. Seems it was indeed "Barracuda" from around 1992-2012, then they retired…

Very interesting. Relevant part for the lazy: >When the charge cycle was complete, I removed the cell and measured its voltage: it was at…

I think low barrier to entry is the really the key feature. Rolling your own has more of a learning curve - less initial certainty and more…

Note some Pro 4 cameras can exhibit annoying static/electrical noises in the audio of live streams and recordings (speaking from personal…

It's a textbook trolley problem question. Philosophers have been pondering it ever since the advent of the supermarket.

Starting to seem like the best-in-class trio that were the SF450, SF600 and SF750, which were quietly withdrawn from the market here last…

Are these a standard 7400 with matte touchscreen, or 2-in-1 glossy screen models?

Damn LLMs knowing everything we've ever said.

Or if your mobo does PCIe bifurcation, HODL for variants with an M.2 slot so you can take some advantage of the 8 lanes left unused by a…

These are getting pretty long in the tooth and have been superceded by their newer 25000 and 27000 mAH models that do apparently support…

Dunno about avoiding mechanical drives but here are some other reasons one might prefer an SSD: - Far superior random read/write…

Is hardware encryption easier to work with than it had been previously? I remember people really struggling to enable it (and disable it if…

I use this one with an 8TB QVO, after trying a flaky VIA-based Sabrent: https://www.amazon.com.au/dp/B07Y81R1JM/ Has the same ASM235CM…

Thing that attracted me to the Pro is VLAN support - something that should have become the norm long ago in this age of IoT, but for…

Curious about the same. Choice seemed to be between separate split systems but less space, or a multi-split but less redundancy, whereas…

Don't really care as long as they don't release it with the same title (a pain in the arse when searching for Ghostbusters or Karate Kid…

We live on an arterial suburban road and get countless emergency vehicles with lights and sirens throughout the day. Comes with the…

There are some really annoying contradictions in current ITX boards. For semi-decent CPU cooling in a compact case, you need the type of…

Sounds like you need a 5.1 setup! :P I wonder what the problem is though - previous poster mentions the way the sound is "mixed" but I…

Am I the only one with an elderly parent stuck in a no-man's land of not quite having the dexterity for a touchscreen, but being used to…

Not helped by the cramped ITX motherboards nowadays. Coolers like the L12S that were ideal for this sort of height restriction now run into…

Tank size is the other big aspect, tying in with what you said about water quality. Thankfully we're generally more informed than the "good…

Had four of these, bought in late 2019/early 2020. One failed - maybe just bad luck. Somewhat more annoyingly, the rubber coating seems to…
