Shermanpk commented on Sennheiser HD 450BT Wireless Noise Cancelling Headphones (Black) $159 (Was $319) + $5.99 Delivery ($0 C&C/ In-Store) @ JB Hi-Fi
Better or worse then Sony WH-1000MX4/WH-1000MX5?

Anyone able to recommend a multi-tool/food processor? We've got a very tight kitchen, and can't really waste bench or cupboard space on a…

Bruceflix on [Refurb] HP EliteDesk 800 G3 SFF Desktop PC i5-7500 8GB RAM 256GB SSD Win 11 Pro $120 + $25 Delivery @ Technology Locker

From what I've seen these HP desktops can draw under 12w (I've seen as low as 6-8w reported)*. Depending on the N100 it can get as low as…

What's your power consumption like, if you know? I've seen as low as 8w reported of idle?

The Value on [Refurb] HP EliteDesk 800 G3 SFF Desktop PC i5-7500 8GB RAM 256GB SSD Win 11 Pro $120 + $25 Delivery @ Technology Locker

What's your reasoning? Is it just that Win 11 in not supported? Because there are a lot of uses that don't need Windows to be supported.…

mathew42 on Reolink Smart 2K Wired PoE Video Doorbell US$53.20 (~A$84.86), WiFi US$56.20 (Expired) AU Stock Shipped @ Reolink AliExpress

I went the other way and got a used enterprise POE Switch (that was actually power efficient) for about $200 and has 48 ports as well as…

Anyone want to explain why I might want this, over say an old smart phone, Raspberry Pi, or PC?

Do you need a Samsung Phone for it, or will any Android work?

Is this PCIe 4.0 x 1?

My wife had me go to (profanity) WAR for one of these things! I carried one out and to the car on my own, it's not so much the weight as…

Dan24 on [eBay Plus, Refurb] Lenovo ThinkCentre M720s SFF Intel i3 8100 3.60 GHz 8GB RAM 500GB HDD Win 11 $52.29 Delivered @ ACT via eBay

Probably depending on what stock they have. Get rid of the stuff they have more stock of.

tessel on [SA] Hisense Hybrid Chest Freezer $249.99 in-Store (RRP $349) @ Costco, Adelaide (Membership Required)

Fridge/Freezer. It's actually a great idea for something like a drinks' fridge.

Sorry, I don't have any, anymore. It was months ago. I got them from Ali-Express. Quality was fine. I got two, one that will do 100W USB-C…

Shermanpk commented on HEYMIX International Travel Adapter $18.89 + Delivery ($0 with Prime/ $59 Spend) @ OZ CHOICE via Amazon AU
I had gotten a similar device to this one, but mine had 3x USB-C and a USB-A rather than this one's 3x USB-A.

McMaferMur on Ueetop 175W Gan USB-C 6-Port Charger AU Plug US$24.85 (~A$45.08) Delivered @ UEETOP Choice Store AliExpress

It can depend on the cable sometimes, but typically a cable being plugged in on only one end won't have any effect.

Shermanpk commented on GMKtec M5 Plus AMD Ryzen 7 5825U Mini PC Barebone DDR4 RAM US$186.80 (~A$300) Delivered @ China Box AliExpress
Great Device. IMO Intel N100 type devices are a better solution in THIS class of device due to their lower idle power consumption. IMO AMD…

Not endorsing it, but [here](https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005008053996753.html) is an example, for about that price. Do your own…

What would you suggest?

Nah, for me at least, 4k is great. Not much point in 8K when there isn't any content.

The room is about 4m, but fairly narrow. So not huge, but we're a long way away from the TV.

Shermanpk posted a forum topic Best Value 85"—105" Premium TV
Wondering people's opinion's on the best 85"—105" Premium TV (I'd consider as small as 75" if it's much better value). I'm looking…

Shermanpk posted a forum topic Is the TCL 85C855 worth it over the TCL 85C755?
Wondering the value of the 85C855 over the 85C755. Obviously, there are a few perfunctory differences, like the 855 having 64GB slightly…

Shermanpk commented on Noctua NF-A8 80mm PWM Fan $27.47 (Was $30.78) or 2 for $49.44 + Delivery ($0 with Prime/ $59 Spend) @ Amazon US via AU
Anyone got a deal on quiet 40mm fans for a Network Switch?

Are the probes able to be totally in the BBQ and function with temperatures of up to their operating temperatures?

Are they better than Samsung, Sony, LG? No. Are they significantly worse? Also no.

This! If you want a charger that doesn't renegotiate with each connect/disconnect, then your best bet is to get separate chargers for each…

Shermanpk commented on [Prime] Meross Smart Wi-Fi Plug with Energy Monitor - 4-Pack $48.97 Delivered @ Shuzu-AU via Amazon AU
Anyone checked the idle power usage of these, often times these types of devices will use more power than they'll save. Edit for clarity.

omblygombly on Onix 8kg Heat Pump Dryer ON-HPD8W $543 Delivered @ Appliances Online

I'd guess that was a one-off reading on a specific setting? But would love to hear from someone who has one?
