From what I understand, they are exactly the same except for the finish / styling - R02 is smooth, where R03 has some texture in the…

The HRM 200 meets the AU requirements by requiring a "tool" to open the battery compartment. The "tool" in this case though, is not a…

The newer HRM 200 is a small bump to a lower model, and not a replacement/upgrade to the HRM Pro. In addition to heartrate metrics, the Pro…

Yeah, I believe that's the prevailing theory: water/sweat ingress after the battery compartment seal is affected by a couple of battery…

Agreed re the battery, which was I got the HRM Pro Plus... but you have to import that one, because Garmin is not allowed to sell it in…

Just curious, but why do you say the Google Nest Hub gen 2 is discontinued? As far as I can tell, it's still the most recent Nest Hub - its…

Excellent, thanks :)

> Price (RRP) AU$159 Just curious @RichardL, what's your reference for that AU price?

Well, the Ethernet port is sort-of new (you could add Ethernet via USB previously). To me, the only real new feature (apart from presumably…

I can't make a fair comparison, because my machine is better dialed in, and I go through the beans quick enough that they're always pretty…

I agree with most of what you wrote, but this has me curious: > the longer warm up times than something like a dual boiler I have this…

Nah, the third pin is for earthing, not grounding - sometimes they are the same thing, but not in a USB power supply like this. As…

Hi all, I'm not seeing this listed anywhere else, nor announced anywhere, but Garmin seems to be quietly discounting their Edge 540 Solar…

Yes, this. The plug comes in two versions: Homekit and Matter. Only the Homekit version is on special (at the above link), the Matter…

While I agree you can save a lot of $$ if you're not using the Garmin ecosystem, for those that do, there's really nothing else with…

Shows as $93.10 for me...

That's correct. This keyboard does not use Cherry mechs, but TTC Red (the "red" here is presumably a reference to the TTC mech's imitating…

Nah, that's the "Sold Secure Silver" rated D model, not the OP's "Sold Secure Gold" rated DX model. Cheers.

"HD" is just part Google's product naming... there's two versions currently: * Chromecast with Google TV (HD) * Chromecast with Google TV…

Might be worth also considering the just-announced [Garmin Bounce](https://www.garmin.com/en-AU/p/714945/pn/010-02448-52) - seems like a…

They'll be 100% the same as far as the espresso out is concerned. What will matter is the basket. It looks like the normcore comes with a…
