I got a 4-porter 2.5gbe from AliExpress for $200 like 3 months ago. This is much smaller and nicer. But yes n150 can handle gigabit…

Nice - i'm glad that wooting's innovative idea (but is cheap to actualy implement) is now at a price that is palatable for mass market

Tbh an automatic watch generally has 6hz (or 10hz if hibeat). These bulovas have 15hz which is as high as it gets without being a grand…

You have to leave a comment to vote negative though 😕

Putty is old news - ssh is in windows now.

Windows has a less good, builtin version now. More performant but not configurable

There's also win+shift+s but can't remember if it's the same or not. Will try later

I've got a batch script for installing 99% of the stuff I need. I just run it and it winget installs everything. Useful for fresh windows…

How does it compare to wiztree? I'll go install it later 😸

Windirstat is slow. Use wiztree which uses NTFS hacks to figure everything out in something like 100x faster - my old drive took 10 minutes…

My bamboo ikea lids warped and curled up. They can't close in an airtight manner. I returned and got the plastic ones. When I hear up food…

Hmm consider my mind changed. I had 10+ year old computers that were still running, but their mobos gave out eventually. Given that these…

If it's "just" a nas, it's quite overkill. The ability to have 8 drives and run something like ZFS is decent but you'll still haev plenty…

Agree with electricity being humongous. it's a good deal if you want lots of compute and have cheap/free electricity, but for an average…

Just clarifying: > unknown run time expecting "plenty of capacity for future years" I mean that you can buy new drives over time as the…

Agree with the 7.5 year mark - iirc computers useful lifetime is either 3 or 5 years. So anything sold second hand is expected to "work"…

Thanks OP! My local store is being Ozbargained... Huge queue. Shoulda gone early

It's not a bad deal apart from the high power usage that these kind of servers have. Could be easily used as a NAS / HomeServer box with…

I also only use it for energy tracking. So I can hound the wife 😜

What about dryers? I've got a dryer that's been running through a tplink smart plug. I only use it for monitoring and it hasn't died yet.…

There's an LTT video explaining how most of the dash cams all use the same sensor. It's a little outdated but there's something like 4-5…

I thought this was pen ink. Sorely disappointed.

I remember a trip to Germany where i was outraged at paying 1 euro ($2 at the time, probably around 2015) for a thick plastic bag to get my…

ahh - i scammed myself by buying at 10am, thinking that the link worked without joining the team. silly me.

Yep i picked one of these up. Sold out in my local, but went to Miranda where they weren't marked (so said $14). Scanned out at $7. Plenty…

Got first round. Spent it on a $89 mirror :D No luck in round 2

Could combine this with a zero mouse shell. Though that's overpriced for what it is

Mine has battery problems, and works on and off. Sometimes it would be stuck on 0% or 8% (still had a day left of power), forcing it into…

> On the other hand, surely some compromise must be reached. It is not rational to wear a T-shirt at home in Winter, while complaining…

I have a partner who is also loves 27+ in winter... and in summer they want it at 19c. The mind boggles. For energy efficiency, the less…
