Additional symmetry for me :) I bought it from Amazon Japan for ~$AU24:…

FYI, this watch can have its board swapped out for a little computer: https://www.sensorwatch.net/ I'm a fan, though I reckon the A164…

Terminology in this space is confusing. It's very unlikely _just_ to be an ADSL modem these days... (how are you even still on ADSL? Isn't…

If he already has an ethernet cable, no need for powerline.

You don't want/need a router; look for an access point or an "extender" with an ethernet port. Having said that, most routers can be just…

A158 has the same internals as the FW91 (basically just the metallic looking version).

A158 has the advantage that you can put a computer in it :) https://www.sensorwatch.net/ Also,…

That sounds awful - sorry you've been given the run around by everyone. You can buy a virtual mobile number from a VOIP provider like…

This is typical. It won't get better. You can mod it: https://www.etsy.com/au/listing/1448973768/backlight-spreader-for-casio-module-593…

The best thing about these is you can put a computer in them :) https://www.sensorwatch.net/ Note that it won't work for the A168... or…

I'd imagine the power usage is a bit higher. Also, not as nice sitting under a TV...

Your example is more expensive and has worse single core performance? Also, stylistically more boring... Not convinced it's 'infinitely…

I had my first encounter with Domino's 6% "service fee" the other day (I know, out of the loop!), and I'm wondering if it falls under the…

This has a better warranty and a new battery, and likely no fan (haven't checked, but that's usually one of the perks of a low power CPU).…

We've had one of these for a while, and taken it out on rivers a few times. As long as you never need to go too fast or in a perfectly…

Absolutely, and I think part of the problem is more fundamental: the longer a system remains in place, the better people and organisations…

At the lower house level, yes. For the senate, it's more important, since that plays into the NSW result. It's also a signalling mechanism…

The good news is that the AEC doesn't fund "micro-parties". In fact, you pay $2000/candidate to stand, and only receive funding if you get…

No, I want tell people about our ideas, help move the political discourse, and help the Fusion party succeed. I was asked how many votes I…

This is not what I was trying to say. My 'target' is to increase our proportion of the vote, and 4% is a nice goal to strive for. I'm doing…

I think because we don't have any national identity system the AEC doesn't have a straightforward mechanism to track down those who've…
