Windows Steam games on the Steam Deck run using a compatibility layer called Proton. You don't have to get the games via Steam; you can add…

Do you get eyestrain when watching movies and TV shows too? They're often 24 or 30 (technically 29.97) fps. A lot of video games…

In the USA, they only changed it for large electronics and appliances. Everything else is still essentially unlimited.

I wonder if this also applies to companies that have workers in India. VPNs are extremely common for remote offices and people working from…

I graduated in 2011 but my edu.au email still works... I wonder if it'd be accepted as a valid student email 🤔

Does she like pasta? My wife and I have a pasta maker addon for ours. There's two different pasta addons: one that rolls a flat sheet (eg…

I'm not sure that shipping to Australia would cost significantly more than shipping to the USA, since they're probably made in China,…

Yeah it's pretty bad in some states. Having said that, I'm a Melburnian but currently living in California, and minimum wage here is about…

Wow I didn't realise how much these cost in Australia. Similar models are $299 RRP in the USA.

It's a great script for benchmarking servers. A lot of other scripts use `dd` to benchmark the disk I/O speed, but `fio` (which YABS uses)…

This is a very good deal! Their cheapest VPS plan is $5/month so with this offer you can get one year of service for only $10. I've been…

Do you have any benchmarks (eg. using YABS: https://github.com/masonr/yet-another-bench-script) for your VPS hosting? Your regular prices…

I signed up for Quantum Core recently. Pretty happy with the service so far. Fantastic service with fast servers, speedy NVMe SSDs, and a…

Alpharacks are horrible, I'd suggest avoiding them. Try searching LowEndTalk - pretty much all feedback on Alpharacks is negative. For Plex…

Do you own your hardware and IP range / AS, or is it rented? What's the relationship between you and gohosting.com.au, given your test IP…

[@Diji1](/comment/5946540/redir): It's worked well, I've saved around $50 from their auto-searches in addition to a $100 claim I submitted…

[@Your Friend](/comment/5946331/redir): It's confusing because you need to manually enter the amount to pay (there's no "pay everything…

[@petestrash](/comment/5945949/redir) > Insurance is not normally free on a free card. I'm living in the USA now and my primary card (Citi…

[@petestrash](/comment/5945844/redir): Payment through their site is pretty confusing. I'm surprised they don't have an auto-pay feature,…

Visual Studio (the real one) also has a free community edition. It's great. Much more powerful that Code.

They're also free if you have an open source project with somewhat of a community around it.

I've booked US domestic flights through Cheapoair a few times. No complaints. They seem to be one of the better OTAs.

Just note that many of Fiji Airlines' flights have a 10-15 hour layover in Nadi Fiji. Having said that, you can leave the airport if your…

They actually reintroduced direct flights from Melbourne to LAX this year. LAX is a horrible airport though. I'd rather fly MEL to SFO even…

2-2-2 is even nicer. Air New Zealand had that in their old Premium Economy "Spaceseat" product. It was well worth the price. They're…

That one is a regular wireless charger, this one is a fast charger. Samsung say that the fast one is around 1.4x the speed of a regular…

Yeah... The fast one has a fan, the regular one does not. The fast one is worth it, it does charge pretty quickly.

> Not to mention laundry list of permissions when you install apps etc… Most apps ask for permissions as-needed now, rather than all…

This is just a basic webpage though... Nothing's stopping the exact same thing from happening on an iPhone. In fact Android is better since…

Ha, my photo on here is from when I signed up (2009), I should probably change it eventually.
