It's possible to make your own device on the findmy network. https://github.com/seemoo-lab/openhaystack

There are two parts to that - the tag might have a speaker that chirps in that situation, but the phone app also has an alert to the same…

Why the 1c on top of $30? I can understand $29.99, but what's $30.01 trying to achieve?

That's not sold by woolies; that's a random brand using their marketplace. I'd stay away from anything that plugs into mains voltage,…

The Mega Mag, from my reading of the label, appears to be exclusively Magnesium Glycinate, and no oxide? (I'm looking at this…

So if I'm reading it right, the Ethical Nutrients powder has 1.5x the magnesium of the Magzorb powder? I'm using the Magzorb at the moment,…

Mine always seem to come out of the machine creamy, but sometimes get too hard once if I put into the freezer. Really depends on the recipe…

Youtube does sometimes put ads mid-video; which is the last thing you'd want if you're trying to sleep. That said, I just download the…

Yes

Frozen roti from an Indian or Asian grocer is generally much cheaper than from the supermarket.

The TRS page says you can't claim good purchased overseas and imported into Australia.

Looking for a decent backpack for my son starting school next year. Needs to fit a laptop, lunch, some books, jumper, and whatever other…

Yeah, I generally wouldn't trust that kind of stuff from Amazon. Maybe if it's "sold and shipped by" Amazon

Trust it more that Aliexpress generally. The main difference being, Kmart is an Australian legal entity, so there is someone to sue.

I'm using the kmart ones - works pretty well. Personally stay away from plastics from China that come in contact with food (yes, I know the…

Definitely not the same as an upside down AU plug for the reasons you say. But it _is_ very close (in the sense that it fits). The…

Milk is within the approximation (also, going for higher-quality). I was choosing the pure cream/double cream, which you'd probably want in…

One option is to get a cheapie android and leave it at home, with your current SIM+number, then use Google's Messages for Web on the phone…

1L mid-quality ice-cream (e.g. Connoisseur) = $6 on special, or $12 'RRP'. Fancier ones are around double that (~$10 for 500mL). For 500mL…

Here's on that does Samsung (at least can clone a tag; not sure if it can create a new one):…

Pro Tip: You can also use these as Easter Trees, Birthday Trees and Halloween Trees! You don't need a dedicated fake plastic tree for each…

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TYtWTz3-7DY&t=10s Or, possibly a little more apt given this is an alcoholic drink we're talking about:…

It is possible to make a 'DIY' airtag https://github.com/seemoo-lab/openhaystack . Not sure if Google has more restrictions in theirs…

No, they use a proprietary system. There are some unofficial third party adapters available, but come with risk

This is a risk for all solar installers. Even long-established businesses have gone under.

You'd need a hybrid inverter; they cost a few times more than a normal inverter

There's currently a Victorian Government rebate for apartment solar, so it might not be as expensive as other people might think.…

Agree; 1x has no cross-chaining, and fewer parts to maintain.

Hot water systems are usually hard-wired. Can be good for turning on a heater before you get home, or to restart a modem or other finnicky…
