Make sure you only buy from retailers listed on IsThereAnyDeal.com, they are all authorised key resellers, so you know there is no sketchy…

Be warned, Panzer Corps 2 (like many Slitherine Games) is broken up into heaps of smaller DLCs, so you only get the base game in this…

My bad, I missed the bit about the bundled charger! As v00d00 AU said, it looks like this Xiaomi charger can act like a powered laptop dock…

It's a power bank, it charges portable devices such as laptops, tablets and mobile phones. It's nothing to do with HDMI ports or USB hubs.

It looks like you're right, it can't do 2x 100W at the same time.…

Same, have had mine for a year and it's actually fared much better than the cheap dish racks I've bought in the past. No rust yet.

Upscaling is really good these days so it's not an issue. You can always lower the settings to High instead of Ultra. And older games like…

The LG recommendation is for content consumption, such as watching movies and TV shows. It's a different use case if you're using it with a…

People have reported that if your internet goes down then it stops working in HA because it's dependent on the cloud. Have you found this…

You're bang-on, with 80% sRGB coverage the colours are going to be poor. It's the norm for these kinds of ultra cheap portable monitors…

The devs recommend using a controller even on PC. Having said that, it plays perfectly fine with mouse and keyboard. I don't think you can…

Apple makes money from the licensing. Similar to the MFi (Made for iPhone) programme for Lightning cables and other accessories. Update: it…

Yes, if it's Find My compatible then it uses the Find My network. Otherwise it would be pointless.

You're going to wear out the battery and/or overheat it real quick. This little duster was never designed for drying a car.

The Temu dusters are awful and terribly weak, the Wolfbox MF100 is at least 3-4x more powerful.

The Wolfbox MF100 clowns on any of those cheaper models. If it hasn't been reviewed and tested by a known source, forget about it, it'll be…

Looks like it's 2x 21700 cells in series: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9f_Yurzwf1k It's a pain in the arse to take the thing apart…

No, It uses a built-in lithium battery (and charged via USB C port). Though anything is replaceable if you are brave enough...

100% this. It's like using a corded vacuum versus a cordless stick vacuum cleaner, the latter is just so much easier to bring out for a…

> does that mean items that are sold and shipped by Amazon would be certified and safe to use I'd say 99% of the time that would be…

My old KP105 Kasa smart plug consumed 0.65W when "off", and 1.40W when "on" (but with no appliance plugged in) -- measured with the…

Yep these are all Tuya-based smart plugs. Unfortunately my Arlec GridConnect plug failed on me after 2 years with the dreaded continuous…

Unfortunately no source, if I remember right I read it in a Reddit comment, and they didn't have a source or link for it either. A lot of…

Amazing bundle this month -- Aliens: Dark Descent is brilliant real-time tactics game, but beware: if you don't play it as a stealth game,…

Yep. It's one of the main reasons I still use these TP-Link plugs. HA integration is flawless. Also, these are Wi-Fi only (2.4GHz, no 5GHz)…

> There’s some speculation that the matter version (which is not this deal) is a hardware revision with a lower failure rate I heard that…

Sorry, I didn't mean to cast doubt on your experience, just noting that it's interesting that even the fabled old model HS100 series can…

These are the same, you'll get a ~40% failure rate after 2-3 years. I don't know how TP-Link gets away with making them like this for years…

> My studio monitors/subwoofer setup; they all have individual power switches at the back (and sub is under the desk) This is exactly what…

These are specifically slim enough not to block neighbouring power sockets.
