Agreed. Amazed that Americans are genuinely on the verge of electing a convicted felon to the highest office. Pretty sad times. Edit: oof…

My S6 isn't blocked. Fascinating Edit: A5 2017 isn't blocked either

On paper it should be supported but I wouldn't be surprised if it gets blocked.

My Poco M3 is now blocked on Optus in QLD (Catch connect).

Solid deal for anyone who got hit by the 3G cutoff!

Have you been getting warning SMS? If so then expect the worst.

I haven't heard of anyone having their phone blocked on Optus yet, what state are you in?

So far I've witnessed 3x Poco M3s (one on Pixel ROM), 2x Poco X3 NFC, 1x Poco X3 Pro, 1x Poco F1, 1x Redmi Note 9 Pro and 1x Redmi Note 10s…

I have. I purchased my drives in late 2023, whether YMTC NAND remains to be unreliable in the future it yet to be seen, but we will see…

I can confirm my experience as a tech falls in line with this. Hinge and chassis structural issues are a real issue on many consumer grade…

Oh yeah sounds thicc af

You're really forgetting about build quality. I've seen so many of those Acers fall apart over the years - the ThinkPads, not so much

It's about what they are worth imo, I used to have one for the S20 Ultra and it barely protected the phone

They fail a lot unfortunately. I've had like 3 or 4 die out of 15

Or just decent home theatre speakers. Most soundbars are pretty lame as they are constrained by size Edit: I have bookshelf speakers and a…

They will probably outperform most similarly priced soundbars for mids and highs. Personally I'd need to pair these with a subwoofer for…

YMTC NAND should be avoided, I have had a 20% failure rate within 1 year. Yes performance is great but the failures really make it not…

These are great routers with Openwrt

Imo this is not a great deal, there are better specced units for less money. Wavlink sell an ax5400 version for about $50 on AliExpress /…

Aldi have canned beans for 95c a tin which are very similar in quality if anyone can't make it to a Coles. Cracking deal though, canned…

It's probably not going to cause any issues. That's still a shitload of bandwidth.

For most people also zilch For people moving huge files over their local network, it's a bit faster

That's like three Motorola G54s

Their generic PSUs aren't THAT bad. They're basically entry level Silverstone / CoolerMaster PSUs, not the most efficient but perfect…

Meh this is a bit of a nothing deal

Ah yes because EVs are always emitting pollution?

I've had 2 out of 6 NV2s fail, hence why I don't recommend them. No issues with Lexar, PNY or this Patriot model, but it really depends on…

He is a PC whisperer

For pure FPS per $, the Nebula PC offer wins as long as you are gaming at 1440p or higher

PCIe Gen 3, not supported sadly. ADATA Legend is PCIe Gen 4 and $159. Don't get the Kingston NV2, it's not great.
