FWIW 8 years ago I managed to get a Crumpler Dry Red #3 from Myer for $120 (https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/240830). Has been brilliant.…

These are just the blades.

I have a teenage son. If it's any good, I can give it to him... :-)

Dang - lucky. I just assumed that as you had two that at least one of 'em was the new version. I've seen a few people who have commented…

Thanks, OP. Semi-related topic - how do you find the new design of the head? I've been thinking about upgrading to a new model for some…

Cold outside, and down to the last couple of drams in my bottle - thanks, OP.

I'm sure this is fine, although personally I paid around $120 for this: https://www.ozsmartthings.com.au/products/zigbee-smart-blind-motor…

Maybe they've had some QA issues with newer devices? I've also had one for a few years now and has been great. No issues, and I rate the…

The Audio Technica linked by @Ozjoey is good (I have a similar AT-LP120XUSB because it supports the 78rpm albums I inherited from my…

Other info seemed to indicate otherwise, so good to know, thanks.

See page 38 of the manual where they suggest how to connect the speaker to a tv headphone socket. Would work the same.…

Ah, @netjock, don't get me started on my various nightmare interactions with optus technical support. I started with Optus as a beta tester…

PPPoE

Packet loss, additional hops etc indicates that you were having ISP or other issues rather than IPoE or PPPoE. The main thing is hassle…

...and the results are in. Four large bath towels, and one tea towel. Total wet/damp weight over 4kg. "General mix" cycle, dry setting 3.…

Truly do not understand this..... maybe they had a bad machine. I reset my stats on Home Assistant the other day so can only go back a few…

Kinda. A heat pump dryer is a type of condenser dryer. Very roughly speaking, condenser dryers pass warm air through clothes and over the…

Kinda surprising as I bought this exact same model 6 months ago, and find it's been perfectly fine. As with all condenser machines, and…

Just remember that "I understand by submitting this form I am opting to receive marketing communications from Samsung and its partners."

True. Can also play the offline dinosaur game on Chrome whilst waiting for the stun gun I use (to fend off the zombie hordes) to recharge.

I got one - not that I do much camping, but at least when the apocalypse comes I'll be able to charge my 'phone and stare at the 'no…

Rough rule of thumb, 1 point = $0.01 so 10,000 points = $100. In general you can and will do better than that if using for flight rewards…

I just loved them at the Oscars - with their little godzillas Nomination: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lD_BmcNqoro Award:…

Have two of these. The oldest one is a 1500 and it has saved us a couple of times - kids leaving lights on etc etc. Initially didn't know…

Agree that it is better to use glass or ceramic. Even though these are "microwave safe" I suspect that just means they have a lower risk of…

I actually moved my hue kit temporarily over to a hue bridge and it updated the lot automagically.

Same. For a while I found they were eating through batteries, but a firmware update seemed to have fixed that.

1. The first one I bought over a year ago is still running on the original battery, and that's in my pantry so it is activated a lot 2. I…

I use Home Assistant and can also use the sensors (light, motion, temperature) to trigger automations that can include other devices from…

I absolutely hate the packaging, and in addition the batteries themselves now have a bitter coating applied to them that can cause issues…
