You pay for a device. They still shove ads at you. i.e. you don't really own the device, you're just renting it from the supplier under a…

Now they've switched to thaumatin, most of the flavours are pretty good. My personal favourites: 1. Aussie Choc Malt 2. Choc Cherry Delight…

Crappy companies never get better. Always go where you're treated best (pay, team, work).
27/11/2023 - 14:16
I think it is very much a lottery. Like @superforever says: people can buy it and if the coil whine is annoying, return it. Apart from the…

The property doomsayers have predicted 11 out of the last 2 property price corrections. They started saying it back in the early 1990s, and…

Half a million? It's closing in on 750K this year, and I predict it will top 1 million after the 2025 election - no matter which party…

These are cheap and do the job. Apparently the metal ones are better for cooling, but I'm happy with my cheapskate buy.

To clarify, I wanted a permanent desktop charger, that would I could leave everything plugged in to. I sleep about 2m away from it, and I…

I had one of these, and the coil whine was annoyingly loud when charging a laptop from it, so wasn't any good for my use case. Totally fine…

This or hold out for an Alienware AW3821DW to be on sale?

I second this. Even with one fan (on my mobo the second fan overhangs the ram slots), it keeps everything super cool.

I've had water cooling in the past, but now I stick to a good 3rd party air cooler. Even the stock AMD coolers are more than enough. I also…

This is all IMHO: People thinking of using this for a NAS cache, dedicated swap or similar would be better off cramming as much ram into…

If anyone is interested in 3.5 externals, looks like the 8TB is on special too for $225.29:…

If you're just using it as a headless server (e.g. to ssh into, no GUI), then ubuntu server should be fine. Or debian 12 (bookworm) - I've…

For that combo (React + NodeJS) there are a lot of opportunities in the smaller companies, but not a lot in the banks or govt (mostly .net…

That combo won't work - the adapter is for SATA m.2 ssd (B-Key), and the m.2 drive you linked is NVME (M-Key). But if you could find cheap…

If all you need is 2TB, its cheaper than building a NAS. You've got the hardware costs plus the power costs. For most of us, its most…

Totally, start with what you have lying around. The good thing about using off-the-shelf parts is you can always re-home them into a bigger…

Another vote for @clear
06/11/2023 - 17:34
Should be able to. TrueNAS has the building support to make a share MacOS compatible - but I haven't tested this myself..
06/11/2023 - 15:47
Personally I'd go with one of the discounted M1 Max variants that pop up on special instead of M3 Pro - costs the same, but you get support…
06/11/2023 - 14:36
Second for TrueNAS Scale. It's a pretty good "appliance" experience if you don't want the hassle of server admin. You can also expand it…

M3 Max is where it's at. Fully specced out 16" M3 Max with 128GB ram and 8TB ssd is only A$10,270.70 with the AOC discount. Looking at…

Third rule of ozbargain. As soon as you stop procrastinating and hit buy on an item, someone will post a deal undercutting what you paid.

Approximately the same in raw cpu grunt. N95 is a more recent cpu arch though (12th gen e-cores), and these things are pretty low on power…

If past behaviour repeats (it might, or it might not), when the M3 Pro/Max MBP are released, there will be new-old-stock M2 Max laptops on…

I find the stand to be a bit janky. I mean, it's servicable, but not as good as the magnetic case. On the upside though, it is a really…
