I use one of these Boost sims for data-only in my backup 4G WAN modem. The sim i have now expires in March 2026. To use this deal I presume…

I see people saynig they buy these for the 6TB storage. How are people typically using this in practice? As 6 x 1TB OneDrive accounts with…

Excellent reminder. I knew there was a reason I didn't get this a few months ago and instead purchased two more MX Keys. Backlight baby.

I have the [Kambrook 116cm Arctic LED Display Tower Fan KFA839GRY] in my home office and it's great, takes up little floor space and i can…

This needs to be pinned or archived or framed or something... gold.

Is there an easy, practical way to buy/acquire Monero in/from Australia?

You can also FREEZE your own credit for 12 months for free, which is what I did when the QF breach was first announced. I did it with…

I wasn't planning to get one anytime soon. But that price... maybe. I see a few of the other usual suspects also have it at this price...…

Many modern Lenovo laptops prefer or require a 95W charger. USB-C means I don't need to deal with that stupid multi-part corded brick…

Got mine today at 4.14pm. Thanks to whoever of you un-clogged the damn at QF with your tickets :)
