You need to stop assuming T7 = T7 Shield. T7 Shield isn't as bad as you think. [Tom's Hardware sustained write test on T7…

You need to have the OZB mindset and go after the best deal. You can't allow that 14 days policy from Apple to cloud your judgement. My…

14 days being enough is fanboy talk. It's good to have that, but it is not that great. AU consumer law is generally 14 days. A lot of…

We are talking about OZB deals. I have sold Android phones at a profit (because the OZB deals were so good). I have yet to sell an iPhone…

Um... that's not true if the enclosure is USB 3.2 gen 2 (10Gbps). A USB 3.2 gen 2 enclosure is limited to PCIe gen 3 x2. Even if you put a…

It's not just Google. There are other ones. I just wanted to point out the not so good parts of iPhones. That 14 days stops making sense…

Google appears to offer 14 days / 2 weeks return policy (if bought directly from Google). Costco seems to offer a flexible return policy,…

I am really interested to find out whether Netgear enabled DFS on RBKE960/962/963. Dong's review was back in 2022 and it is now 2025. If…

This is meant to be a WiFi 6E kit or designed for WiFi 6E right? The problem is, if you do not have any 6GHz client devices, you will not…

True OZBers don't waste $2 and just use original cables. OZBers bought so many gadgets, we should have enough original cables. Don't get me…

Toocki and Essager, to me are in the same class. I have Essager products which look like $2 shop / reject shop products. To be fair though,…

Yeah, same, bad quality. Really should throw mine away. I will never buy them again too. Can't believe Amazon would cheap out so much. I…
