You're lucky - I got a abuse cause the guy was too slow and lost the 'first in, first served' battle. Not even worth giving away stuff…

What are TMR joysticks? I felt like it was only recently that it was the thing to go for the hall effect ones - are TMR next big thing?

I feel one of these is less trouble and less mess - https://www.amazon.com.au/GameXcel-Zapper-Electric-Swatter-Mosquito/dp/B08BP57MMH I…

I've had them knocked out and then when you zap them they come back alive, like it was a defib machine. But agree it seems less messy than…

These ones - in particular, I used the $40 one after adding some more stuff to the cart (with a Reolink PoE Floodlight, which was about…

Did people actually get 6 though? Or just a single?

I managed to get around this by favouriting it to my wishlist - then using the add to cart button there! Came up in my cart then so could…

Does it come up as Buy Now only for anyone else? Instead of the Add to Cart? Wanting to bundle a Reolink camera (not this one but I see the…

We did just have a month of KFC deals

I did wonder how Doordash would work with Costco… going in and grabbing an item or two isn't the same as picking up someone's Maccas…

I just picked one up in-store at Casula ($239). They had at least twenty I'd say on the end of the aisle near the breads. Didn't want to…

They looked at me crazy when I put a port in each room, even in the corner of the kitchen. No regrets! Also, consider running cables for…

Good summary. I had looked at the N5 Pro too before pre-ordering my Aoostar Max. The extra $500USD cost at the time wasn't worth the CPU…

Didn't neg you but shipping a single drive to Sydney suburbs was $109 for the cheapest. Easily turns that $21.32 to over $25.

> Was eyeing either the Synology DS225+ I've read Synology are now blocking third-party drives, which is one of the reasons I'm building my…

From what I've read, virtualisation isn't as good via Unraid/TrueNAS as it's not a hypervisor. I do a bit with ESXi and Vmware at work, and…

I had been thinking Proxmox then TrueNAS/Unraid on it which handled the storage for Plex/backups etc. I hadn't thought of Proxmox handling…

I'm leaning towards Proxmox + Unraid also. I want the VM capability as its related to my work and also the capability to deploy VMs for…

I bought direct from Aoostar @ $699 USD and didn't get any extra fees from customs, YMMV though.

The 4-Bay version on Amazon (by AOOSTAR-AU - dunno if they are actually affiliated) is actually slightly cheaper than direct - $569 for the…

Thanks for sharing your setup! Good reference to have as I'd be after something similar

Yeah the passthrough where I'm unsure how it works with this system as I imagine the same controller controls either the HDD bays (which is…

It's 2x DDR5 SODIMMs up to 128GB and ECC compatible. I think I read that the 96GB config only works with ECC too (but didn't affect me as…

$699 USD with no RAM/Storage - its still on preorder for the next batch I think…

So the pre-order said shipping on the 20th July, but I got a notification that it was shipped on Thurs 17th. Ended up getting delivered on…

Me too! I ordered last pre-sale though, just after the EOFY for 20th Jul shipping. Arrived and had a little play installing Proxmox and…

If that's what they do, then yeah, they're also being cheeky too. ACCC arent likely to do anything to either company and they likely know…

Cause Amazon's only ever sold it at $15 according to camel history. Claiming something is 50% off when it's never been sold at that price…

Cheeky RRP reference price. Amazon says 50% off RRP $19.99, however camels says its never been higher than $15. Probably price matching…

> your comment only does harm to Digidirect You're talking about the company that had a data breach in October and the affected customers…
