ICStation on DIY Electronic Clock Alarm Counter US$2.40 (~A$3.72) + US$5 (~A$7.74) Shipping ($0 with US$20 Order) @ ICStation

No worries, just making a joke about how Heymix chargers are known for catching fire.

Is there still a Heymix deal up?

skittlebrau on Breville Bambino Plus Espresso Coffee Machine (Sea Salt) + $60 HN Gift Card + Gift Pack (via Redemption) $479 @ Harvey Norman

Not really, it's been pretty solid. It's a little loud, but it's also fast so it's for a shorter time. The clamp piece it comes with…

TEER3X on Breville Bambino Plus Espresso Coffee Machine (Sea Salt) + $60 HN Gift Card + Gift Pack (via Redemption) $479 @ Harvey Norman

Unfortunately the rule of thumb at this level of machine is that you should spend more money on the grinder than the machine. I had ok…

OzHan on Meross Smart Garage Door Opener (Supports 3 Doors, Apple Homekit) US$48.74 (~A$73.59) Shipped @ Meross Official AliExpress

I haven't come across anything I'd trust, but then my default with IoT stuff is to assume it's insecure unless proven otherwise (the S in…

Ibz on Meross Smart Garage Door Opener (Supports 3 Doors, Apple Homekit) US$48.74 (~A$73.59) Shipped @ Meross Official AliExpress

True, that's how I have my stuff set up, but then my garage door opener isn't something I'd want on the less secure network.

Garage door remotes generally use a rolling code system where it's non-trivial to guess what the next codes are. There are effective…

VerticallyIntegrated on Medication Bundle: Pain Killers, Cold&Flu, Hayfever, Nasal Spray, Diar Relief $50.99 Delivered (Express) @ PharmacySavings

I fully support the scientific method. Take from that what you will. Edit: do not forget the last step - report your findings.

TheEvilPenguin commented on Medication Bundle: Pain Killers, Cold&Flu, Hayfever, Nasal Spray, Diar Relief $50.99 Delivered (Express) @ PharmacySavings
It's worth noting that phenylephrine does nothing when taken orally, so the cold and flu tablets are basically only paracetamol.

virtualsid on Philips Hue Garnea 90mm White Ambiance Downlight $47.22 Delivered @ Amazon AU

The box is easy to push through a 90mm hole. I haven't tested a 900mm, but I'll see if I can find a hole saw that large and report back.

FDA2021 on 3-in-1 Docking Station for Nintendo Switch, PD 87W, USB Port $20.99 + Delivery @ Gopala-AU Amazon AU

I think that picture is just to show that it can act like an adapter for a laptop too, not that it allows connecting a Switch to a laptop.

forumninja on Wearable Air Purifier Necklace for Kid and Adult $17.20 Delivered @ Huabao au Amazon AU

Not to mention that most of the cheaper 'ionizers' are actually purely ozone generators, generating negligible ions.
