Officially, Xiaomi states that this is to combat phone theft, where thieves used to be able to unlock/wipe stolen phones.

vawiyoci on Xiaomi 15T Pro 12GB/512GB + Redmi Pad 2 11" 2.5K 8GB/256GB + Sound Pocket (OOS) $1099 Delivered @ Xiaomi AU

The "current" (actually been going on for a long time) issue is that Xiaomi only release a set number of "permits" for accounts to unlock…

It is a very good price, but the specs seem low quality. Only one motor, 70kg maximum load, and slow 14mm/s speed. Table top is also cheap…

readerr0r on Seagate 24TB BarraCuda 3.5inch SATA Hard Drive (ST24000DM001) $549 @ Scorptec, Umart, etc

Thanks for this. The data sheets are very confusing, with Seagate marketing the Barracuda for "home server" use, but 2400 power on hours…

dotMonkey on Seagate 24TB BarraCuda 3.5inch SATA Hard Drive (ST24000DM001) $549 @ Scorptec, Umart, etc

The Kogan one is 75Hz, but if you are brave you can consider Alibaba for a 120Hz version, which is the same panel for ~$600 + tax. See the…

The same way you treat other wooden kitchen tools like chopping boards: oil or wax treatments.

bAps on Skyn Naturally Endless Long-Lasting Water-Based Lubricant 80ml $5.00 + Delivery ($0 with Prime/ $59 Spend) @ Amazon AU

Officially, it stores for 14 days. This is mainly due to OHS reasons, because the product is actually much purer and doesn't contain…

Meron35 commented on Skyn Naturally Endless Long-Lasting Water-Based Lubricant 80ml $5.00 + Delivery ($0 with Prime/ $59 Spend) @ Amazon AU
No point in buying lube when X Lube exists and is way cheaper. Retails for ~$54 for a powder which can mix into 20L+. FWIW, it is choice of…

Big hack: use the AliExpress app, which actually has a search bar for bundles, and just search for the item you are looking for. Add it to…

Re refills, I think Billy Bubbles is probably the best deal for most people. You need to trade in other "branded" cylinders for $20, then…
