AlienC on Does Anyone Use One of Those Contactless Thermometers to Measure The Temperature of Food and Other Random Stuff

If you are after fun, then a thermal camera that is capable of overlaying on top of / mixing with normal camera pictures would be the most…

He can't have most/any of the other cards because of minimum age limits.

I've just got my son a CBA Travelmoney card for his first overseas trip. A few hundred $ to get him started and the rest of the money in…

Weird, this seems to be completely separate to Supamart IGA franchises, which is what I have locally. How confusing! IGA and Supamart IGA…

I'm already thinking about adding another two 26TB drives, but sitting on the fence in case something with larger capacity & CMR becomes…

I'm not an expert on memory power usage, but I'd be very surprised if 100W was correct. With that kind of power dissipation you'd need a…

I don't see financial reasons as a factor. They'd be able to charge more money for symmetric plans, which means more $$/month. It may be…

Good to hear that improving the disclosure and ease of finding information is on your roadmap. First impressions count. If I can't get the…

If it is the Black Friday deal, it's for 12 months then it goes up to $109 + $5 for static IP.

King Tightarse on [Back Order] Swamp Industries Stratocaster Style Guitar Build Kit $116.99 + Delivery @ Swamp Industries

On top of all that, the kit is raw wood, so getting a decent finish on it will also require experience. Personally, I would not embark on…

Couple of things: * The aestehtics of the headstock are a bit, meh. It has no form. Maybe you are expected to cut it to your own design. In…

Be careful with PC Parts picker and **double check everything** it spits out. I spent a fair bit of time with it recently and the accuracy…

Thanks for that. If the only difference is that you get pro-rata refund on any down time over 21min/month, then I don't see the value of…

Yeah, but what does that buy? It's a guess. There is no link to tell you what that means. If I'm going to pay $168 extra every year, I'd…

@carboncomms There isn't much solid information available on your website - in fact, some seems just plain confusing. For example, business…

Interesting development. Since the scheduled automated upgrade from 1000/50 to 1000/100, I have not had any dropouts. No changes to the…

peteru commented on Nvidia RTX 6000 96GB GDDR7 Professional Video Card - Blackwell Server Edition $14724.05 + Delivery ($0 to Metro/ mVIP) @ Mwave
Would be a great card with Proxmox as it has vGPU support. I suspect Jellyfin would do well. The pricetag - not so great. Maybe if they…

Didn't we do this question a few weeks ago? Self-hosting. Immich. Navidrome / koel. Jellyfin. Remote access. The list could go on. Very…

No I did not move the goal posts. AliExpress **always** shows prices without GST. You'll only ever get to see the GST added at checkout.…

What are you talking about? 10% GST on $7.11 (ex-GST) price is $0.71. I don't need AI to hallucinate me some kind of fictitious answer.

It was the listed price, no mention of any additional discounts or original price. The same listing is now showing $7.11, no mentions of…

It's a WHDZ01 and as far as I can tell it has enough certifications to be a non-issue in the above scenario. It's no different to what's…

This wasn't using any coupons or discount codes. It was the advertised price.

Which is not correct, because the tax is GST and GST is calculated on the money changing hands, not some arbitrary valuation.

In that case it bears repeating over and over, since people are still being caught out.
