Apple have discontinued off the shelf M1 models (otherwise known as BTO) but you can still build and order an M1 CTO configuration via…

Configure to Order ie not a standard stocked model, built on demand

Yeah it was just a bit of SSHing into it and creating a volume there, nothing too difficult but there's always the risk of a future DSM…

I have a 1TB one in my 1821 using the unofficial hack to use it as a volume. I have all my docker images on there, plus SAB downloads go…

My 20TB drive is supposedly arriving May 3 but the Shipped section of the order progress bar is not marked yet.

There's an Australian Vintage Computer Collectors Facebook group, and a related sale group. If you post in there you will probably get a…

Ive already got a 49" UltraWide and with that I sit about 60cm away from the screen. I'll probably try the same for this one. Unsure what…

Nice, I missed the last 42” deal and have been watching daily waiting for them to drop again, just snapped one up for a new monitor

Received mine today. Bitterly disappointed, I can't boot the damned thing at all. Surely these are tested before shipping?

No. They used to use Vocus, and once were very good. They moved to Wireline and it was disastrous, peak hour performance was terrible. I…

Commenting for posterity in case anyone searches. Depending on your interest, Pressreader is a good, free alternative. I did find its…

Yeah I've heard of it, but I didnt know it was free with library membership. Thats interesting, thanks for that! I dont think I've used a…

I don't subscribe to many services, but Readly is a good one for me. Unlimited magazines, $12 a month.

Sure, feel free

They're lying. It was an error on the pricefeed from the Distributor Dicker Data. Dicker has no stock, never had the stock either and the…

Do you imagine they'll want to pay nearly $4k for a laptop and sell it to everyone here for $1400?

Replying to myself for anyone still reading this thread. The price was an error.

The Dicker price for the 6J9L0PA and a Seagate HDD bundle is $4094 ex. So unless theyre trying to sell a 2TB USB HDD for nearly $2500 I can…

OLED is only available on specific custom builds. Anyone expecting OLED is going to be disappointed This is the exact breakdown on 6J9L0PA…

All these resellers appear to be taking a data feed from Dicker Data, and yes, Dicker's price is absurdly low atm. Synnex and Ingram Micro,…

There are workstation class laptops. HP Zbooks for example, have 4 memory slots and support higher memory capacities. eg Zbook Fury…

Good luck! I think you just need to imply that you don't think a TV of whatever price you paid should fail and that triggers their ACL…

I'll chime in here - this is literally the message I sent them (found it in the ticket email) to get my 2016 panel fixed back in 2020. I…

Log a case and send a photo of the burn in. LG replaced the panel on my 2016 B6 (a model known for burn in on red pixels) in early 2020…

I bought an NCM Moscow Plus in Newcastle last week, so far its been great. They mentioned a new model is coming but when I ordered they…

Its not soldered, there's 2 x SO-DIMM slots in these things

This, there's a tonne of Gen-X (me included) who bought a house before prices went stupid. It's amazing the difference in lifestyle when…

Working fine in NSW

All vendors are having problems with supply chain issues and component shortages. We're seeing 4-5 and 10-12 month ETAs on enterprise…

Its very hard to answer this because it depends on how constrained the CVC is on your local interconnect, and its different for everyone.…
