No, I already created a second account to get the $40/month deal and we are moving soon so it didnt seem worth it to make a third iinet…

Nope, just change the login in the modem.

A monitor arm and laptop stand will make your ergonomics much better.

samyall commented on nbn FTTP or HFC 500/50 $64.99/Month for 6 Months for New Customers ($94.99/Month Ongoing) @ TPG
With all these intro deals has anyone put together a spreadsheet to compare and look at the different value?

Yeah looks like Macquarie might be the way to go.

3dprintdeals on AdGuard Family Plan Lifetime Subscription US$11 + US$1.10 GST (~A$18.20) @ AdGuard Software via StackSocial

I had to whitelist doubleclick to get catchup to work and that point the pihole was basically useless. Did you face the same thing?

3dprintdeals on AdGuard Family Plan Lifetime Subscription US$11 + US$1.10 GST (~A$18.20) @ AdGuard Software via StackSocial

First question: is it better than pihole? Second question: does it break catchup TV streaming (like pihole does)?

Anyone got a shipping notification yet? I havent heard anything yet.

iiNet have been discounting this so aggressively. First it was $60, then $40, now $0. Feels like a real smack to the face for those of us…

ARCTEL on nbn FTTP or HFC 500/50 $50 Per Month for 6 Months ($89.99 Per Month Ongoing) @ Arctel

Thanks. I will have to do the maths to figure out if an extra month is worth it or not. Edit: just saw your comment above about 30 days for…

Not my field, but those I know in social science have all been sent on very expensive courses to learn NVivo. I know that's not the answer…

For that budget I'd be answering the following: 1. How many personal projects will I be doing? 2. How much do I care about weight? If you…

CSPersonalFinance on Personal Finance Tracker Spread Sheet $6 (Was $8) @ CompiledSanity Personal Finance

I'm still on 2.13 and its the last day of the month so I guess that is all the hint I need to upgrade and put some data in.

samyall commented on Personal Finance Tracker Spread Sheet $6 (Was $8) @ CompiledSanity Personal Finance
I have this and its great. Well worth $8 so an absolute steal at $6. My only complaint (and this may be a user issue) is that I often…
