Tythefly86 on Alienware 27" 4K QD-OLED Gaming Monitor - AW2725Q $1078.10 @ Dell

> Am I the only one that thinks 4k at 27" is rather silly? Lots of people think that, but many others do not. I'm in the latter camp…

Would eating this count? https://youtu.be/zjPA9Kbhd_w?si=rREDMA6_0Z-Sc7fb

I'm guessing when the fan fails, then the entire monitor breaks. Hard pass then. I only want passive cooling.

That’s just the maximum load you can place on it. It’ll idle much much lower.

botchie on Alienware AW3423DWF 34" Curved QD-OLED Gaming Monitor $1199.00 Delivered (Expired $1078.10 with EPP/Student Signup) @ Dell

I'm planning to get a 4K 240Hz monitor because I play mostly old single player titles, so I don't need a 5090 to run at high fps. The only…

I’m hanging out for a 7840HS deal since there’s realistically not much difference and they dip to even lower prices.

If you want to do upscaling for some recent systems, you generally do want to go overkill.

You'd be better off using Jellyfin instead since it's had official support for hardware transcoding with AMD for a while now.…

first in line on Crucial T500 2TB PCIe Gen 4 NVMe M.2 2280 SSD $185.97 Delivered @ Amazon UK via AU

Honestly, just watch some videos and give it a go. The only slightly annoying part is sliding off the casing because it's hard to gauge how…

My 'choice' of not having private health insurance is because I can't afford it currently and I'm fully aware the LHC is building up.

Hyperscroll? You can turn it off if you don't like it.

I'm not a professional artist (I'm a graphic designer) but the boom of generative AI affects me as well. My own anecdotal experience is…

Visual arts is really broad. The main point I was making is that there'll be some art mediums that will be devalued (as in 'less…

If you like coffee, then yeah? Same goes for any interests people are into. I've tried both cheap and expensive automatic coffee machines.…

clubhonda on Fisher-Price Laugh & Learn Game & Learn Controller $9 + Delivery ($0 with Prime/ $59 Spend) @ Amazon AU

While that’s fine and I respect your opinion, why post in a bargain thread like this then? It’s like posting in a deal about meat and…

It's worth noting that not all mail accounts have this feature, so it's understandable if you haven't done it before.

Swing on Verbatim Vi3000 2TB NVMe M.2 SSD - $119 Delivered ($0 VIC, NSW, SA C&C) + Surcharge @ Centre Com

It would be okay as a read cache, but I wouldn't rely on it for sustained writes since you could end up with a QLC model.

I can vouch for Immich as a great photo backup solution. Easy to set up with Docker and there’s lots of guides out there for it.
