It depends on what you’re doing. I do astronomical photo editing, which is extremely memory hungry (I need to work with multiple channels…

They’re not bad at all at the price-point. Personally, I think their response sounds a bit v-shaped, and the highs can be metallic. But I…

It depends on how your VR experience goes. Half the people I know with a Quest 2 are still into VR and use it all the time. The other half…

Self-raising flour is just a combination of flour, baking powder and a bit of salt. How is it really different from using standard plain…

"Happy and at peace" can mean different things to different people. Nobody can give you a universal recipe for that. To me, "happy and at…

But which version do I follow? The one that says to visualise my end goal and it will come true? The one that says to stop stressing about…

And the RG35XX is free too if you shoplift it.

It comes down to the build quality and control logic of the machine (resting, steaming, absorption cycles). The Aldi one is likely a clone…

We generally don't use the alternative to cook dinner. We've found their cooking skills are just too hit-and-miss.

The old-style rice cookers cook much faster, but the rice is never as good. It's harder, less fluffy, and less evenly cooked. The low-end,…

"Fuzzy logic" is simply deriving a logical solution where states can not be known with certainty. It's still widely in use for control…

I asked my Asian wife, and she said if I brought home a $15 cooker and asked her to cook with it, she'd divorce me.

This rice cooker is usually $169 at Bing Lee: https://www.binglee.com.au/products/cuckoo-electric-rice-cooker-6-cup-cr-0631f?ref=LHYX9C So…

For a simple appliance, there can be huge variation between rice cookers. A $20 Kmart glass-lid rice cooker will produce "rice", but it's…

40 minutes to an hour. Our cooker takes about 40-45 minutes. However, we leave the rice rest for another 5-10 minutes after it's done. If…

Generally, there's a strong correlation between long cooking cycles (with sufficient resting time for absorption) and good-tasting rice.…

I particularly like the way they support lesser-known auteurs. The kind of “real” directors who live and breathe cinema, and who…

That looks perfect. Here's hoping it makes it into Australia!

Thanks, those look like interesting options, but are just a bit on the large side when compared to my current Yaris and the petrol options…

There’s also the size/cost factor. EVs are generally larger models. I’m looking to upgrade my 20 year old Yaris commuter, and can find…

720p isn’t bad at all at that size. I can’t see individual pixels. It’s 236 ppi, which is hardly different to the 264 ppi commonly…

I must be ultra-cool with all the USB Type B connected devices I have around my desk. Hell, quite a few have D-Sub.

This is why I've settled on Macbooks as a client device, with a beefy desktop for processing. The entry-level Macbook Airs are actually…

I did this successfully a few times, then last time the porting glitched out and I spent two days dealing with the resulting mess. So…

Either cheaper or out of stock. It's luck of the draw. However, "cheaper" usually means 30-50% off, and at the current prices we're already…

If your PC is too old to have M.2 slots, or if you ran out of slots. My motherboard only has two M.2 slots, which have been used. If I want…

My neighbour has a singing washing machine, and their laundry door faces our living room door. They leave the outside laundry door open…

And a drip tray in the Silvia that doesn't overflow if you forget to check it for a few days.

Based on the brand name, I came here expecting references to the Iliad. I should have known better.

Clearly a reference to Kanye's constant stream of antisemitic comments over the past decade. He's been promoting antisemitic conspiracies…
