haha yes

It's a blend, but if you want to be pedantic, call it a shade like black

Saying white isn't a colour is like saying tomato isn't a vegetable Technically correct but practically unhelpful

Unfortunately my phones were out of warranty, so it was not a great deal. Forces me to get a newer phone I didn't need/want

Often they use cheaper batteries in the "a" variations, and you've seen them push updates later to hamstring them for safety reasons (e.g.…

Confirm it still connects to your existing sub. Going from sub to no sub is going to have distinct lack of oomph IMO I've got desktop…

Love this because both my 5yo and his older nieces enjoy it, which is rare Uno is another example of all age fun. Any other games like this?

Argh. May as well move to LineageOS

God the Nexus 5x was such a great phone though. Decent camera, wonderful size, simple. Unfortunately the refurb ones kept dying (wouldnt…

I didnt know of this and stupidly updated my 4a

Yeah, as much as hate Apple for how overpriced / anti-user they are, I'm also totally over Pixels QA. Least I can walk into a store with an…

IIRC, its a different battery from 4a, so unlikely

Tell me about it. My Pixel 6 kept having connectivity issues. e.g. data dropping out, phone calls coming through Kept getting told it'd be…

QK's look nice, admittedly haven't seen them before. My friends had often gone the NuPhy path Tried creams + zilents, and just didn't do it…

Nice, what are you looking at in the mech keyboards? I still find them interesting, just that I dont buy them anymore. A bit there I had a…

So true. Thankfully my ears hate IEM's, so I've just got Huawei Freebuds SE 2 for dirt cheap and stopped thinking about it. Also have had…

Honestly probably not, unless you prefer listening to equipment instead of music My cynical perspective of going down the rabbit hole of…

Fair enough, I saw random stuff like TrueNAS and UnRaid, and just wondering if I need it I'll do some more research, but was curious if…

Thankyou, ordered I want to run Jellyfin + 3-4 x 2TB drives What's the recommended starting point? I've got small experience with Linux and…

Yeah agreed. I don't have the time / patience for building PC's anymore, so I paid PCCG for mine Otherwise Jonsbo's Z20 with a handle would…

Yeah fair enough, there's lots of cool cases to check out - Jonsbo D32 https://www.jonsbo.com/en/products/D32PROBlack.html - Jonsbo D31 -…

P182 series, how good were they Wooden version is the best version to get with it's better airflow intake Another one to look around for is…

This is still a premium case, easily in the top 5 for 20-30L cases.

- AMD CPU is the only way to go - AMD GPU provide better bang for buck if don't care for AI generated frames (hint, I don't) There's heaps…

Irrelevant here it's used for intake, not exhaust

It's more sideways - Smaller? Better - 33L -> 26L - Air cooling? Worse - Water cooling? Same same with both fitting 360mm - Cable…

Good luck. Let us know your thoughts / if was worth the wait for you

I use sold items on eBay as my primary indicator

Yeah fair enough. After having mine for few weeks now, I'm thinking 3860x1600 would suit my 75% work, 25% gaming situation better. Would…

Understandable. If it matters, i'd have preferred the 39" for work more. 45" perfect for gaming though.
