duk242 commented on Best Free Software to Test Used Hard Drives?
I normally use HDD Sentinel, Read + Write + Read test. Reads the drive, writes to the drive then reads it back to confirm it's all correct.…
Yeah, I usually buy a new Laptop every 3 years, but my M1 is just doing so well I can't justify getting an M4. The M series just nuts.…
Oooo nice. I got 32gig in my MBP. Wish I could've gotten more, but "Apple Silicon is just different".... in the pricing department too ;)
I upgraded my Video Editing (Premiere - working on moving to Resolve) and AfterEffects PC recently, i7-14700KF, 96GB RAM and 4070ti…

I see a bunch of people post about it on the Ryobi FB pages... Summary: Sometimes they're OK (and perform about 70% as good as OEM), most…

Don't do it man. Samsung T7 drives are my preferred externals, they're fast and haven't had one fail on me yet.

Yo, just thought I'd chime in and say that my rss feeds are working fine. Are you able to load the rss feeds manually in a web browser?…

duk242 commented on Ryobi 150-Piece Driving Kit $29.95 + Delivery ($0 C&C/ in-Store/ OnePass) @ Bunnings Warehouse
It's nice for a set of fairly soft bits. Using any of these in an impact driver will shred them out half the time - but there's so many of…
duk242 commented on Best Crash Course in 3D Printing?
Filaments: PLA is easiest to work with. PETG is next one up that's a bit tougher. Use the one nozzle 0.4mm. Worry about different nozzles…
duk242 commented on VHS VCR Head Cleaner Kit with Cleaning Fluid $14.95 Delivered @ Selby Acoustics via Amazon AU
I've been using the ol' Paper and Isopropyl trick. Cheap as, works well and you can actually see how much crap comes off the vcr heads!
The DDJ-400 or DDJ-FLX4 are your best bets. Avoid the DDJ-200 as it doesn't have a built in sound card so you're left using a headphone…

Nope! I had the SanDisk ones before, they got super hot and the transfer slows right down. These ones stay cool and fast. I have like 5 of…
duk242 commented on Hasegawa Cutlery Cutter for Cardboard with Cap $7.30 + Delivery ($0 with Prime/ $59 Spend) @ MIKOTAS via Amazon AU
These things are pretty good, I use them in a primary school, kids can cut cardboard without cutting themselves :P
I use a global redirect for the same reason - haven't receieved any spam on the email I've used for Wireless1. Doesn't mean you're wrong -…
duk242 commented on Beach Cart Wheel Pin Replacement
Bunnings! Take that pic in on your phone, they'll know the thing. Looks like a split pin, but wider - You could just get a split pin and…
I was thinking exactly this too. Sadly the actual reason is way less interesting... :P
duk242 replied to AlienC on What Wireless Headset Are You Currently Using or Have Found to Be Very Good in The past?
Yeah, she's pretty happy with the G733 - the microphone being closer to her mouth makes it better when there's two of us in the room -…
The question is: Do they have decent pricing at woolies atm? The standard price to beat atm is $23.40 for a 30 pack Amazon Sub and Save…

I've used Corsair, HyperX, Logitech and Steelseries with myself and my partner. The Corsair one battery failed after less than a year…
duk242 replied to AlienC on What Wireless Headset Are You Currently Using or Have Found to Be Very Good in The past?
I got them about 6 years ago, in 2018 for $407. They've been superseeded by the newer Arctis Nova Pro Wireless now.
duk242 commented on What Wireless Headset Are You Currently Using or Have Found to Be Very Good in The past?
I've had the Steelseries Arctis Pro Wireless for about 5 years now - still going strong. Swappable batteries mean no downtime if you forget…

The Pro uses The Gen2 Pencils - Apple really screwed up when they did all their Apple Pencil compatability stuff :|
