If you cancel the order and want a refund, you become a creditor and good luck trying to get your money back.

Finally, the last bits of my order are dispatched today!

geekcohen commented on Officeworks Return as "Faulty" within 30 Days?
Yes, get a refund and move on. Get something else. Repair/replacement could have the fault continue.

If you can move out of town and commute by train to work, you will get more value for your money (and a smaller deposit). I am in Warragul…

geekcohen commented on Reliable Business Laptop with Lots of RAM
Have a look at Metabox. I think that ticks the boxes for you and comes with Dedicated GPUs. I'd get something with probably 64GB of RAM.

I don't use the Energy Savings data, and if you want that, the Tuya/Smart Life isn't the right solution (in my opinion). You need to get…

There isn't an IP rating, so probably not ideal unless you can put something around it and enclose the plug from the elements.

As long as the pump runs when its got power connected to it and there isn't some sort of other timer.

Not so much an alert if there is no power and you get an instant notification. Yes, you can get an "Offline" notification through the app.…

I have one of these and its so handy. A bit awkward at times, but it does the job when I need it too.

The Tuya/Smart Life app is free. No subscription required. I pay nothing.

I have one of these and it gets dirty very easily....... these in black is the better colour to hide dirt.

geekcohen commented on Centre Com Club Premium Tier Price Check
If there a premier member pricing it’ll usually say even to you as a non-premier. I checked and no special pricing.

Yeah, they are a custom maker and have had a good experience. Spent probably $20k with them over the course of 8 years with family, work…

Okay, I should have been clearer. It costs me more per day, per kid than $128. Its ~$160 before CCS.

The position title is "IT Manager" but its kinda a DevOps Manager mixed in with Server Infrastructure manager and Web Manager. Its a bit of…

Have a look at https://metabox.com.au/. I got one for a family member who used CAD and its been great.

I would look into it further and see what funding might be available. My grandmother is in a nursing home even though she has a house with…
