Myer at Lonsdale St had a cafeteria back in the 90's and earlier. Terrific for lunch, or an early dinner. The meals were great value,…

You must have the discount, 'reduced function' version of Amazon.

Second this. Recently I have started using Jack Black's Beard Lube. Oh my. Expensive, but you only use a fingertip-size dollop. Doesn't…

I would suggest that an average of 4.4 from 1000's of reviews is actually 'quite' encouraging. Further, most professional reviews of this…

As I said, *very narrow* use case. Only a handful of Core Ultra 9 / RTX 5090 laptops, costing up to $9k, actually have TB5 at present. I…

What some random customer service agent says on the phone is not the gospel truth for now and forever. You are going to need to make some…

So, their TB4 dock is RRP $799. But reduced to 'only' $399. I cannot imagine the TB5 costing any less. The Thunderbolt 5 specs are…

@JuryWheel I have never personally connected a G2 to a Mac. Some staff have brought in their personal Mac Pros or Airs, and they have not…

The first one I looked at on eBay, from 'bneacttrader' includes power supply for $90. I have purchased several off that trader in the past…

You do know that most affordable (ie, under $400-$500 or more) such jackets are artificial material. There's a lot of technology goes into…

I ordered this earlier this week. Tracking says it has arrived at Sunshine. I also ordered a Metapen. But the M1. A couple of reviews I saw…

I have had one of these for years. Wore it in Svalbard a few years ago, down to -30°. Plus, by removing the inner fleece jacket, as a…

@geekcohen Probably good value. But... I dunno... for work... I quite like the idea of a Dell/HP/Lenovo, and if something goes wrong (USB…

Probably most non-entry level laptops would support a USB-C and an HDMI monitor simultaneously. Probably. But then you need a USB-C capable…

Jury, The fact that your current desktop i5-11 series is sufficient really broadens your options. I would suggest any i5-13, i7-13, or…
