This fits firmly in the category of "Data Travel Sim". What this product does is give you an e-sim that will automatically connect to the…

I'm a fanboy. FYI, I would mention in the subject or description that this is only for first time purchases. I got excited and then…

I've messed with a number of travel sim providers. Roamless is my primary now, I don't even bother going elsewhere.

Many travel sims give you a limited time to use your credit / data and then it expires. Roamless let's you keep a bank or credit…

New users only?

This is me exactly. Was trying to decide if I should remove the points of failure by running direct. Decision made, thank you.

Yeah, I remember when the hibiki 17 full-sized bottle skyrocketed in price, it hadn't caught up to the mini bottles yet so there was a…

I'd be curious what skylake iteration you have that performs as well as an n150 at the same TDP.

It's a great alternative. These things sip power. This N150 chip should idle around 10W. If power consumption is your goal, you're better…

From what I've read, with these boxes there is negligible performance difference between DDR4 and DDR5.

Exactly. Stremio is great, but it's still streaming.

Short answer is these aren't great for NAS because of the lack of ports for drives internally and no external SATA port. You don't really…

Well done.

Anyone tried using this for boxing gloves?

You'll find you're in the minority here with this opinion.

Not sure why you got negged. I'm a fan of Okinawan lager and I think they'll probably drop Monsuta in favor or just selling it as Orion…

jaygee on [NSW] 50% off Staten Island Pizza C&C Only (14" for $12.50, 18" for $21) @ Sal's Authentic New York Pizza, York St Sydney

It's nowhere near as good as the real thing but still way better than anything else in Sydney.

Sal's is the closest thing you'll get to a proper New York slice this part of the world. They are really good if you like American pizza.

Updating my position, apparently the Oneplus Buds 3 (non-pro) are the way to go for the ~$100 mark.
