Crispy's advice to go pre-built is solid. But I'd go NebulaPC over Techfast, as Nebula use better (or at least better known) parts, at…

Had to enter the code in uppercase. Game isn't dead - population is decent on free Orcrist server (thought it can get laggy on weekends…

Next level hack: stand around in the self-serve checkout all day. Offer every shopper a concierge serving to scan and bag their groceries…

Thanks Dad.

You're right. Just can't do anything useful with 8 cores.

Or 1943. Or Gauntlet I & II. Guess he's happier with his 4k pre-digested pap where you never actually lose a game.

Thanks, bought two. Got some horse drawn carriage repairs I've been putting off for way too long.

Nice, only noticed the options for the two 760 mini colours and the 750. Wife has pinched the 760 mini, so I'm in the market again.

Delivered today. A little light - not in a bad way - and good quality. It is a small mouse though. I had medium hands and my palm doesn't…

Bought it yesterday. Pretty quiet "soft" mouse clicks - not sharp loud ones. Coworkers won't notice it.

It was weird time. Bought the first 3070 for $1000 because I saw a friend mining ETH and making decent $. Bought a second one ONE MONTH…

Thanks for letting me know you were wondering.

Sigh. Only marginally faster than my covid era 8GB RTX 3070. But that did cost $1000 tho ...

Sure you can go wrong for $39 - just as you can with the $30 Adidas cloudfoam shoes that have been here a couple of times. Yes, they're…

Full size PC sounds better. I got the techfast high $600 Ryzen 5500 deal that was here a while ago. Build was OK, but the anonymous…

Used to have a great Asko dishwasher. But now Asko is hinese owned (Hisense) and repair guy said the quality has down straight down.

Leaving the door open is a must, but I still get mould in the crevice.

Because if I want a beekeeping jacket, I want the cheapest one possible ...

Switched from the exetel 25/8 plan to this today. Very easy to switch - just swapped a couple of emails with John, and made sure I could…

Indeed. My HL-5250DN from 2006 is still going. Hoping it'll break down so I update, but it'll probably go for another 20 years :S

Yeah, that's the dilemma with Bosch. But I already have a couple of "bargain" drill bit sets that turned out to made from hardened cheese,…

Note that Standard edition vs Pro is missing functionality, of course - couldn't find a feature matrix but viewing the only manual at…

Went down from from Exetel's 50/20 to their cheaper 25/12 plan, which is adequate for browsing, wfh VPN, YT that sort of thing. But I kept…

Ozb hack :) Love it :)

If he's cautious, start him on a balance bike - no pedals so he can put his feet on the ground any time he wants. When he's got his balance…

This is such a dad joke I logged in to upvote.

As @Fybre says - Sumatra is a great PDF viewer. Lean and mean, but with good features.

Something like https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/153697725845 Def get 2. they work , but they don't handle drops or whacks very well.

In my limited experience, found the batteries in these ones go to hell if you don't keep them charged. Switched to the racquets that use 2x…

Been happy enough with Care Super. Their Balanced option has done OK through various ups and downs. If you're good at shares, they also…
