xdigger on Tri-Head Book Reading Light $13.59 / $13.99 + Delivery ($0 with Prime/ $59 Spend) @ Glocusent via Amazon AU

This is for reading a book in bed without disturbing your partner, so at 55 lumens the light isn't very bright. It's a night light,…

It's on the average-to-higher end for most consumer surge protected power boards. Belkin's latest model 8-outlet board offers 900J of…

Dang this sold fast. Got the notification email from 3xcamels at 8:09 pm, at which point the deal was 44% claimed. And then it was sold out…

Dogsrule on SOYO M4 PRO Mini PC (Intel N150, 512GB SSD, 16GB RAM, 2x USB-C, Win11 Pro) US$107.80 (~A$170.64) Del @ SOYO Global AliExpress

The TDP is usually adjustable in the BIOS. My N97 CPU in my GMKtec mini PC for example can be set to 8W, 10W or 12W TDP. The minimum TDP…

Excellent response. I don't know why the confidently wrong comments always get the most upvotes on OzBargain, it's exasperating.

You should be able to do this if you use Home Assistant. I use my Hue Dimmer Switch V2 to control my Tapo smart bulbs and more via HA. If…

Based on the product images, the cables are only rated for 5V 2A, so 10W of power. Things like surveillance cameras, or perhaps…

King Tightarse on Basesailor Flat USB-A to USB-C Cable 2-Pack (3m) $4.99 + Delivery ($0 with Prime/ $59 Spend) @ Basesailor AU via Amazon AU

Dang I've been buying Basedsailor cables all along, I've been had!

I just tried mine and have no issues with it cutting out randomly at the highest fan speed setting. I tried up to 40 seconds but didn't…

Update: my memory betrayed me! I tried the Wolfbox duster again at the lowest setting, it's not particularly loud but it has an annoying…

I've used it as a portable fan on the lowest setting (there are 3 fan speed settings in total) -- the noise is noticeable but not too…

Watch the Project Farm review and test: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X_ncYXk1cP4&t=606s It's a good replacement for canned compressed…

I was very skeptical about the claims but it definitely performs as promised by other users and reviews. I use it on the medium fan speed…

That's an extremely thorough review, thank you. > I wouldn't want to use it as a work machine or multi-tasking as it is somewhat slow…

You should definitely watch the original RoboCop (1987) film, it's a classic. If you're a Terminator fan I highly recommend you also buy…

It's 67W max output for one port, the 40W limit is when all 3 ports are being used simultaneously.

DevilsInDetails on Meross Apple Homekit Smart Plug 4Pk $59.96 (Expired $54.96 with Prime) Delivered @ Shuzu-AU Amazon AU

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.

lac0449 on GMKtec Nucbox M6 Mini PC AMD Ryzen 5 6600H 16GB DDR5 512GB SSD Windows 11 Pro $329.99 Delivered @ GMKtec_AUS via Amazon AU

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

SS625 on Vornado 633 DC Fan $182 + $9 Delivery ($0 C&C) @ The Good Guys Commercial (Membership Required)

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…

MuddyRubber on Arlec Smart Plug with Power Monitoring 2-Pack $20 + Delivery ($0 OnePass/C&C/in-Store) @ Bunnings

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.
