I have 6.6kW and 5kW inverter - it's nothing special. But I have a very energy efficient house, and I am also on a very good feed-in tariff…

My solar installation has been zeroing my electricity bill for many years, and I usually end up about $2k in credit over a 12 month period.…

You can check stock of any of the special buys at Aldi for 4 weeks after they are released here: https://www.stockcheck.aldi.com.au/ But…

There's no doubting they work, but at what cost? A kit of 4 late-model cameras plus doorbell and compatible NVR would be upwards of $2000,…

There are plenty of alternative systems out there that don't require a subscription, and have decent performance but don't cost the earth.

Agree that their network gear is excellent - it's expensive, but still decent value considering the quality, features and reliability.…

It wouldn't be so bad if their cameras were actually really good, but they often get outperformed by cameras less than half the price.…

It's a massive discount on RRP, but wow - that's a very high price for an unremarkable camera.

I drive a Lancer (conventional dash) and a Model 3 (central screen) in about equal amounts; I have absolutely no issues with the different…

>Nissan Silvia S13 / 180sx Some of my favourite vehicles from a well-spent youth :-)

I believe they have changed the rear nameplate on the latest model to get rid of the full script, and they now just have "BYD" on the rear.

The biggest tip I would give beginners is that it's probably a good idea to start a new, larger factory somewhere else once you've got the…

It's the sort of game that you can sit down in front of, and look up many hours later, realise that you skipped dinner and the sun is…

This was the listing: https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/175503817186 but it seems to be sold out (big surprise). There was also an eBay coupon…

I recently bought a Pixel 6 128Gb refurb via eBay (GreenGadgets store) for a family member who needed a decent quality phone for cheap. It…

Buying a refurbished flagship phone is substantially cheaper than buying a mid-range phone brand new, and you still usually get better SOC…

It needs the remote - no always-on microphone

720p display at 32" - ewwww

It's a really common trajectory. In the late 70's and early 80's, Japanese cars were considered poorly made, cheap junk. But by the…

> Try eletric car, too expensive to repair. Then it’s no longer repairable. Hard to argue with that kind of self-justifying…

Totally agree - a hybrid Corolla is an extremely reliable and practical vehicle with very low running costs.

This deal is for the petrol version. The hybrid is ~$5k more expensive.

>I have never ever seen a broken-down German car anywhere. I've seen a VW Golf, an Amarok and an Audi A3 need major, expensive repairs in…

> It adds 2.6kw A quick glance at the specifications says the electric motor is rated at 100kW. The 1.5L petrol engine is rated at 75kW.…

There is no scheduled maintenance on Tesla cars, apart from the recommendation to change the cabin air filter occasionally (which anyone…

This might be pretty good as a battery extender for something like the Oculus Quest VR headsets.

I was particularly interesting in having WiFi 6 for higher speeds and handling more devices.

This looks like it would make a decent budget WiFi access point if hardwired to the router. Thoughts?

@pepsicles Looks like you can get the Home hub for $171 at Reolink's webpage using code "ggr5fau" In fact, that code appears to give a…

No, lots of them have Google Home integration.…
