The ancient chunky rounded TP-Link Kasa smart plugs seem to be built like tanks, I have 3 of them which have not failed. The newer…

I haven't heard of any brand of modern smart plug that doesn't have the click of death after 2-3 years or so. It's so damn frustrating.

Amazing deal for Forgive me Father at $1.75! Been waiting for this, thanks OP!

You literally play as a character who shoots Nazis...

There's a batch of newish 16" 3K OLED monitors which do 120Hz now, they've been out for a couple of months. For example:…

I've owned this portable monitor since May 2024 (bought it back then for AUD $178 delivered during an AliExpress sale), I rate it as decent…

You're right, it can be powered both ways, that's handy: https://www.techradar.com/computing/gmktec-nucbox-m6-mini-pc-review

Looks like this particular model uses a DC barrel power plug, so not readily.

That's a good question, I'm curious about that as well. In my experience if you don't have a device connected to the cable, the charger…

It looks like the Kmart fan is not using a DC motor, so it will consume more electricity. It also uses buttons with discrete fan power…

Thanks OP, I added the Apex Legends DLC to my account successfully. But when I try to add Royal Quest Online - Hero Power, I keep getting…

Looks like it's called "Power Limit Select" for the GMKtec G3 Plus: https://youtu.be/9moL1Qxbe8o?si=mKm6NIf9Vj3yG5ry&t=521

This. I had an Arlec plug die this way recently, same fail state as the infamous TP-Link Kasa and Tapo smart plugs. Very frustrating.

It's mostly because of the large amount of sugar and MSG. The combination is like crack.

Make sure you limit the TDP in the BIOS as well, from reports you should be able to set it as low as 6W.

This UGREEN charger is very slim, it doesn't block neighbouring power ports. And to answer Hardicus' question, I consider UGREEN and Anker…

I made the mistake of buying a Temu one for ~$20, it's actually weaker than the weakest setting on the Wolfbox. The Wolfbox has impressed…

You could, but the battery may not last long enough to do the whole car. You're probably best off getting a mains-powered blower.

Nah, the N97 is a little more power hungry than the N100/N150. Intel states that the base power for the N150 is 6W, versus 12W for the N97:…

N100 and N97 etc series are fine for light use only, but I would NOT recommend these for office or daily driver use at all, they are too…

Not overkill at all, these mini PCs are perfect for Home Assistant, they run it like a dream. I have mine running HAOS (bare metal) on the…

This. It's not a deal, this is just the normal price. Price history: https://www.ozbargain.com.au/product/iniu-bi-b62

The Cocopar only has 85% sRGB colour gamut so that's worse than the MagicRaven's 100% sRGB coverage. I wouldn't bother with the Cocopar. To…

You want to look for a "car headrest tablet mount" that fits a screen size of 16 inches or so. Unfortunately these seem to be quite rare,…

Appears to be splitscreen for both campaign and multiplayer: https://github.com/WinterSquire/AlphaRing?tab=readme-ov-file

You're the MVP, thank you!

Yes. It will be more unstable (for pull ups) the higher you extend it though.

The local shipping is factored into the price.

The UGREEN pic you quoted is for when all the ports are in use simultaneously. The second photo in the carousel shows the actual maximum…
