If you are renovating, definitely stick Ethernet cable wherever you can and use it for backhaul. Leave the WiFi spectrum free for traffic…

I did use 1Gbit Ethernet backhaul for a while. These are tri-band, with a dedicated WiFi band near 5.8GHz for backhaul. I used to have a…

No. You can't mix-n-match between Orbi generations.

For the static IP, will you also setup reverse DNS aka PTR record?

These are good. Easily covers a 3 level house and a garage on the other side of the backyard. I use them in AP mode and leave the…

The quality of the data in the Bunnings product database is atrocious. You'll often see stupid stuff, like it takes two people to carry a…

I have the Define 7 XL case next to me with a Threadripper. I am not a big fan of the vented top, but the hot air from the AIO has to go…

A quiet case for a decently sized NAS will be hard. I can only fit maximum 12 Red Pro drives in a PC case, but heat is a problem when the…

Yep, SamKnows Whitebox supplied as part of the ACCC Measuring Internet initiative. I've told Superloop that I've got one of these and that…

FTTP Superloop connection. According to Superloop and NBN, nothing wrong with it. Real-life shows otherwise. See picture. Same results even…

Metabox are Australian rebadged Clevo laptops. Clevo are an ODM that design and build a lot of laptops for other brands.

ALDI had Casalux 90mm LED SMART downlights, 9W RGBCCT that go down to 2,000K for about $14 a few months ago. They are your typical TUYA…

I try to be subtle about it and stand to the side and a bit back, out of the way. If the staff ask me, I just tell them that I like to see…

A good machine will steam 500g ~ 600g of milk in under 20 seconds. Not much scope for chatting. ;-) 😉 Paying with a handful of coins…

Most coffee shops don't mass produce good coffee. Over the years I've grown more selective in what I drink and also more proficient at…

9-track was anything but simple

I don't see a way to compare anonymously, unlike EME.

Not all retailers put up their prices at the same time, but most of them do so between May and September. Before you make a move, confirm…

Seller is Seagate store and there's no mention of this being a refurb or factory recertified, so I'd say you have a case for expecting a…

> 3 pin means it's got speed control, 4 pin means it's got feedback as well as speed control. The other way around. 3 wire is +ve, -ve,…

Replacing a normal fan with a USB connected fan is about the worst alternative you could come up with. Use a normal computer fan with a…

If you buy via auction, then by Australian law, you are stuffed. All sales final. Sold as-is. Then again, eBay only **started off** as an…

It's more likely that the fan was making loud noise as it was ceasing. Now the failing fan probably doesn't spin at all. Something will…

What you describe is almost certainly a fan that is about to seize. Most fans are only good for a few thousand hours if you turn the PC off…

Don't try to kill two birds with one stone. You'll end up with a couple of birds mocking you and chances are you'll run our of stones.…

If you are going to order a Metabox machine, make sure you do your homework regarding warranty. Not the stuff that they advertise, but what…

@meong The tone of your response would suggest that you misread my response. There is no need to get hostile. There's nothing narrow minded…

If you can't plan ahead then you are at the mercy of what is available at your current location and what stores are open at the time. Go…

I don't have it hosted in the cloud (someone else's computer), I host it at home. Hence the need for fast upload speeds, so that I can view…

I was off coffee for a couple of months, due to health reasons. I found that swapping coffee out for **Gevity bone broth body glue**…
