Jabba the Hutt commented on Arlo Pro 4 Wire-Free 2K HDR Spotlight Camera 4 Pack $399 ($359.10 with Perks) + Delivery ($0 C&C/ In-Store) @ JB Hi-Fi
Note some Pro 4 cameras can exhibit annoying static/electrical noises in the audio of live streams and recordings (speaking from personal…
Jabba the Hutt replied to holdenmg on If You Had The Magical Power to Shoplift Anything from Any Supermarket and You Always Get Away with It, Would You Do It?
It's a textbook trolley problem question. Philosophers have been pondering it ever since the advent of the supermarket.
Starting to seem like the best-in-class trio that were the SF450, SF600 and SF750, which were quietly withdrawn from the market here last…
Jabba the Hutt commented on [Refurb] Dell Latitude 7400 Laptop Touchscreen Core i5 8265U 16GB DDR4-2666MHz 256GB NVMe SSD $300 Delivered @ Bufferstock
Are these a standard 7400 with matte touchscreen, or 2-in-1 glossy screen models?
Jabba the Hutt replied to Look Up on Crucial T500 2TB PCIe Gen 4 NVMe M.2 2280 SSD + Acrylic Paint $162.93 (2 For $309.20) Delivered @ Amazon US via AU
Damn LLMs knowing everything we've ever said.
Jabba the Hutt replied to vinni9284 on Gigabyte GeForce RTX 4060 Eagle OC 8GB Graphics Card $465 + Delivery ($0 QLD C&C) + Surcharge @ Computer Alliance
Or if your mobo does PCIe bifurcation, HODL for variants with an M.2 slot so you can take some advantage of the 8 lanes left unused by a…
Jabba the Hutt replied to Ezekiel2320 on Cygnett ChargeUp PRO 27000mAh 65W USB-C Powerbank $82.45 Delivered (RRP $179) @ Cygnett
These are getting pretty long in the tooth and have been superceded by their newer 25000 and 27000 mAH models that do apparently support…
Jabba the Hutt replied to Aerith-Waifu on Samsung 870 QVO 4TB 2.5" SATA SSD $210.07 Delivered @ Amazon US via AU
Dunno about avoiding mechanical drives but here are some other reasons one might prefer an SSD: - Far superior random read/write…
Jabba the Hutt replied to nuker on [Back Order] Samsung 990 PRO 2TB Gen 4 M.2 PCIe NVMe SSD $173.18 Delivered @ Amazon US via AU
Is hardware encryption easier to work with than it had been previously? I remember people really struggling to enable it (and disable it if…
Jabba the Hutt replied to aussiekid on Samsung 870 QVO 4TB 2.5" SATA SSD $210.07 Delivered @ Amazon US via AU
I use this one with an 8TB QVO, after trying a flaky VIA-based Sabrent: https://www.amazon.com.au/dp/B07Y81R1JM/ Has the same ASM235CM…
Jabba the Hutt replied to Sleepycat3 on ASUS RT-AX86U Pro AX5700 Dual Band Wi-Fi 6 Router $399 (Was $499) Delivered @ Amazon AU
Thing that attracted me to the Pro is VLAN support - something that should have become the norm long ago in this age of IoT, but for…
Jabba the Hutt commented on Outdoor Air Conditioner Frame
Curious about the same. Choice seemed to be between separate split systems but less space, or a multi-split but less redundancy, whereas…
Jabba the Hutt commented on New Willy Wonka Movies
Don't really care as long as they don't release it with the same title (a pain in the arse when searching for Ghostbusters or Karate Kid…
We live on an arterial suburban road and get countless emergency vehicles with lights and sirens throughout the day. Comes with the…
Jabba the Hutt replied to netsurfer on AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D CPU $562.70 ($549.46 eBay Plus) Delivered @ Smart Home Store AU eBay
There are some really annoying contradictions in current ITX boards. For semi-decent CPU cooling in a compact case, you need the type of…
Jabba the Hutt replied to Sxio on Panasonic DP-UB450GN 4K UHD Blu Ray Player $279 (RRP $399) + Delivery ($0 C&C/ in-Store) @ JB Hi-Fi
Sounds like you need a 5.1 setup! :P I wonder what the problem is though - previous poster mentions the way the sound is "mixed" but I…
Jabba the Hutt commented on Nokia 110 32GB $59, 8210 4G 128MB $89, 2660 Flip 4G 128MB $99 + Delivery ($0 C&C/in-Store) @ JB Hi-Fi
Am I the only one with an elderly parent stuck in a no-man's land of not quite having the dexterity for a touchscreen, but being used to…
Jabba the Hutt replied to futaris on Fractal Design Ridge PCIe 4.0 Black Mini ITX Case - $199 + Delivery ($0 C&C) + Surcharge @ Scorptec
Not helped by the cramped ITX motherboards nowadays. Coolers like the L12S that were ideal for this sort of height restriction now run into…
Jabba the Hutt replied to TypicalRole on Fluval Flex Aquarium 57 Litre $259, 34 Litre $191 C&C Only @ PETstock
Tank size is the other big aspect, tying in with what you said about water quality. Thankfully we're generally more informed than the "good…
Jabba the Hutt commented on Cygnett ChargeUp Pro 60W USB-C 27,000mAh USB-C Laptop Power Bank $66.30 + $9.95 Delivery @ Cygnett
Had four of these, bought in late 2019/early 2020. One failed - maybe just bad luck. Somewhat more annoyingly, the rubber coating seems to…
Jabba the Hutt replied to axlfan on AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D CPU $529.20 + Shipping + Surcharge @ Shopping Express
>Also assume I'll get next to nothing for my 3700x build :( Just set it aside for 30 years until it gains proper retro status. Keep boxes,…
Jabba the Hutt commented on Yubikey: Buy 1, Get 2nd 50% off (e.g Two NFC Security Keys $71.25 + $7.50 Delivery) @ Trust Panda
Any significant new additions (e.g. banks? telcos? gov?) to the list of Australian entities that support these as a 2FA option? Still only…
Can't say for sure but that model does appear to support DTS, and it's the lack of that which leads to the issue I described with the C20A…
Same reason I started looking at getting a sound bar in the first place. Setting the DTS issue aside, the Clear Voice feature works fine,…
If you're into Blu-ray, I'd avoid this one - it's fine for TV and Dolby Digital movies, but doesn't handle DTS, relying on the source…
Jabba the Hutt replied to BarneyKB on Seagate Exos X20 ST20000NM007D 20TB 3.5" Internal Hard Drive - OEM $491.33 Delivered @ Newegg
Ah, I see my complaint. Return ended up being painless (DHL picked up the item) and refund came without issue. Waiting ever since for…
Jabba the Hutt replied to Diji on [VIC] 1 Free Donut if Your Name Is Dan, Daniel, Dani or Danielle - Sat Nov 4 - Sun Nov 5 @ Daniel’s Donuts
Had one recently and was surprised how unsatisfyingly small they are nowadays. If they shrink any further they'll be a Chomp.
Jabba the Hutt commented on Cygnett 32W USB-C and USB-A Charger 3-Pack $39.98 ($13.32 Each) @ Costco, In-Store (Membership Required)
Unfortunately these aren't as compact as similar-looking Cygnett chargers and can get in the way of adjacent sockets.
Jabba the Hutt replied to hippo2s on SK Hynix Beetle X31 1TB Portable SSD with DRAM up to 1050MB/s, USB 3.2 Gen2 $92.73 Delivered @ SK Hynix EU via Amazon AU
On the other hand, they're physically more robust - can send one flying across the room and it won't break, whereas a 2.5" rust spinner may…
Jabba the Hutt commented on Home staging for sale
A couple of other comments have mentioned its ability to hide flaws and I can attest to that. A neglected place can look disproportionately…
