[Deactivated] on nbn HFC 2000/100 $6/Day, FTTP 2000/200 $6/Day, FTTP 2000/500 $8/Day @ Launtel

I have 4 ports, but only use 2 of them. I've been using it this way for years.

This is a fantastic second ISP that costs $0 when not in use. You can switch it on for one day only if you need to download 100+GB of data…

thomalfa on Audi Q3 35 TFSI S line Edition MY25 $61,900 Driveaway (Excludes WA) @ Audi

Too expensive

What's TCO over 10 years on this?

doperst on Royal Kludge F68 60% Foldable Low Profile Mechanical Keyboard $67.99 Delivered @ GearGarden via Amazon

+1 to this question. I'd understand if it were folding to become shorter and fit in the pocket (to be used with a phone, for example)

Thanks, but I have a completely different BIOS with almost zero settings

Must be slighly different models. My bios does not have an option to adjust VRAM

UPD. Increasing VRAM on these laptops is impossible, it is locked by BIOS and AMD Adrenalin settings are not applied.

Increasing VRAM does help, but the glitches (switching from one chrome tab to another one only switches half of the screen) remain

Avoid. They are not compliant with Australian law, the support is awful, and a friend of mine lost a lot of money.

That was my expectation. The reality and HP support said otherwise.

I have one, it is a great kit. Although it is a bit hard to take bits out of rubber forms.

Bought all three. Cheap quality bits are to hoard on.

You should be able to do a physical card payment in your agent office, but that's inconvenient.

They don't. If nobody claimed this VIN previously in the app, it will work. Tested.
