Apart from the larger diameter and much easier height adjustment than the smaller 300mm model, I'd say "approach with care"... I have the…

Can anyone give the *depth* of the external part of this lock? The specs on the TP-Link website imply it's 60mm deep, which seems…

It's so irritating when companies can't even be bothered explaining their offers properly. On the site's page, the offer is no more…

Could you say more about how the auto-lock works in real life? I have an old Samsung lock which works well, but can't imagine some sort of…

It is not a legally required step, so any claim about the ACCC being involved should only be interpreted as "Aldi felt it should do…

Yes, exactly, thanks @bargaino . The point is that the parents know what they are used to and are not at a point where they are open to new…

External mouse is not an option? He's already using a mouse with the dying laptop-in-lap on various available adjacent surfaces:P…

I have a snowflake's chance in hell of retraining an 80yo in their laptop habits ;) Thanks for those device suggestions.

I bear no responsibility! 😂

Hi peeps. My tech-competent elderly parents need a new laptop, around 14-15" screen, Windows 11. While most activity is emails and…

Yeah, let's circle back to this thread in about two years' time and see how bad things remain!

Just a reminder though that cocoa prices are through the roof which is why the prices are surprising. Everything chocolate is skyrocketing…

Another vote for this keyboard. I've used it with Mac and Android devices. My only only complaint is that there's no Home key, and I…

Really! I'm not surprised, as it's shockingly different.

Thanks for this comment. The Aldi stuff used to be good (equivalent to Glad), in my opinion, but my most recent bulk roll (I buy about one…

Very much a "small bank" with clunky procedures, clunky online banking, poor contact procedures, etc. I regretted moving over to them…

So few of these hotel aggregator platforms offer honest discounts. As @yonkey said above, always do price comparisons. The discount amount…

I had a few installers claim Panasonics *nowadays* have a servicing problem because parts are no longer held for not-terrrrribly-old…

Same here a month ago. This issue is not affecting all MVNOs using Optus. I'm not even sure it's affecting anyone. There'd need to be more…

The personal liability cover for this is lower ($1m) than typical for most policies ($1.5-3m).

It's only laundering if people are buying the cards with illicitly obtained funds. Anyone using a card to buy these (which is the only way)…

No. Yes. Don't use them for any transactions that could get messy. You don't want to be dealing with unexpected fees, or refunds for that…

The "security" on these cards is very very fussy. I've often had to use a VPN to be able to pay or to view the giftcard details. It's worth…

The offer says five per day. Where is the max 2 rule from?

It depends on how careful people are, so somewhere between 2 and 5 years with frequent use, I would say. Longer with very careful use.

This is a fairly good set of pans. The price is a fairly common occurrence (and has been for a number of years: I bought the set for this…

Totally agree about the warping lids.

I don't know about the current situation, but Surfshark Mel/Syd servers were largely unusable last year due to excess traffic and use by…

You might find it is blocking your IP address. Happened to me recently. Try on a different network.

The site in general works, it's the attempt to access a card by clicking on the email link that displays an error message at the top of the…
