Didn't neg you. My mate managed to get iPhone 16 back in May with a similar deal + price match. He ended up paying $605 out of pocket.…

UCG-Fiber was hard to get initially and expensive. I paid a lot more for my UCG-Fiber. It's also a device that entices you buy more UniFi…

AX6000 is combining 2.4GHz band + the 2 5GHz (which one of them is used for the units to send data between each other). The max you can…

Didn't neg you. However, if it is that easy to access the devices, then the real issue is the devices have security flaws (or people…

WireGuard is the easiest. Given that we are talking about such slow speed (due to our NBN upload speed being slow), I would just use my…

Was that through a VPN service provider like Nord or Express VPN? Our NBN upload speed here is slow so I generally only VPN back home when…

The VPN part is mostly due to some apps and sites here do geo location checking. For example, banking apps / sites would detect logins from…

I didn't want to buy UniFi access points ($$$), so I went with OpenWRT options. My OPNSense box isn't really just for OPNSense, it is also…

Not easy to beat RT-AX86U Pro's range.

You need to go for UniFi E7 or U6 LR to get similar coverage. Given that RT-AX86U Pro is WiFi 6, technically U6 LR. U6 Pro, U7 Pro, UX7,…

Sorry about the confusion. UDR7 can only operate as an UniFi controller (essentially kinda like a standard router, except unlike a typical…

No

With Frigate, I think you don't need to have a Reolink NVR (I have no experience with Frigate). Don't go UDR (WiFi 6), NBN September…

You will get a Reolink NVR right? If so, those 8 Reolink POE cameras will be connected to the NVR. Generally, UDR7 is a better choice as…

No, IDS/IPS throughput is a good measure of overall processing power. UCG-Max's IDS/IPS is below Dream Machine Pro (3.5 Gbps). UCG-Fiber is…

IDS/IPS throughput is different (2.3 Gbps vs 1Gbps). UCG-Max supports Protect and Access. There is also PCIe support (for the SSD). Of…

UCG-Max and Ultra may not have the same chipset as IDS/IPS Throughput on UCG-Max is 2.3x of Ultra. I have both UCG-Fiber and UCG-Max. So…

Not for these.

M-Discs nowadays are using alternative dye material (rather the original M-Disc formula). The alternative material is not as good and rely…

My understanding is that M-Discs suppose to use even better materials. If Verbatim is now claiming MABL is good enough to reach M-Disc…

Verbatim has been using / quoting MABL on their BD-Rs for ages: https://www.amazon.com/Verbatim-BD-R-Blu-ray-Recordable-Media/dp/B00GSQ4DBM…

These are not M-Disc ones. Below is an example of M-Disc version:…

Media ID doesn't mean much. Disc makers use the same media id for different batches. The media id basically informs the writer the disc's…

Still applies. The receipt doesn't mention anything about the Mobile plan. They are essentially 2 separate transactions. One for the phone…

Last time, after JB Hi-Fi stopped the $1400 off deal, lots of retailers decided to sell iPhone 16 series phones at a discount. JB Hi Fi…

He can still ask for a price match within 14 days. My friend asked for a price match after 12 days (because JB dropped the price to match…

It's best to find a better deal and ask JB to price match. The current JB prices are basically their RRPs. Aim to get ~$200 of the RRP if…
