It seems I never came back to close this out. CPL still never took it back, so I just took the out of pocket hit for it. I ended up buying…
bweiss posted a forum topic Health Insurance with Dental Extras to Pay for Upcoming Dental Work
I've recently been to the dentist for the first time in a while, and have a bit of a list of recommended treatments. | Qty | Item | Value |…
bweiss commented on Who Is at Fault? Car Accident at T-Intersection
Absolutely horrible description of the situation, it's not a T intersection at all. T intersections, as the name implies, look identical to…
It sounds like in your situations the hotels have gone outside of Booking.com to do your refund. Which makes me suspect that they have had…
bweiss commented on Advice Needed: Strata Refusing Responsibility for Water/Limestone Damage to Car in Secured Parking Spot
Are you an owner-occupier, or renting? If renting, you could try to go after the landlord for it... but it seems unlikely. Here's an…
bweiss commented on Going to Turkey - What Should I Buy AND Do?
When I last visited Turkey, they had good prices for knock off brand name clothing.. But I expect you could get cheaper direct from China…
I believe you are thinking of skyscanner. Booking.com is very much where the payment goes on reservations booked through this site, they…
You should have reported the 'hack' to the appropriate government organisation…
I think regardless of how much you spend on a laptop, it won't be a good AI engine. Even the best Intel i9 isn't even close to an Nvidia…
bweiss commented on Claiming $4000 Gaming PC on Tax
If you work in IT and you are expected to work from home, then your employer will be providing you with a device to perform that work from…
bweiss commented on Passport Expires in Less than 6 Months
It'll be fine for returning home (if you're going direct, or via airside transit in Malaysia / Singapore at least). I would advise you NOT…
No need to take so much... It's in the "mountains", and they'll have a passenger... that's food sorted...…
bweiss commented on Bathroom Reno Layout Options Need Advice
I'm with the others in that I don't understand double vanities. For the time each fitting is used, is it necessary. It makes more sense to…
Have been to several 'Asian' dictatorship nations... can confirm, generally best not to have your passport on you as well. It's all too…
bweiss commented on Does Your Apartment Strata Allow Installation of Electric Vehicle Charging Equipment
Having recently been through this on the Owners Corporation committee side of such a request in an existing building the issue is largely…
I doubt this is any different than an 'offset'. You may find that your ability to withdraw any funds from your offset account is restricted…
Umm... I'd say Apple are more of a lock-in. Lenovo, and HP are similar. I'd say MSI / Asus etc are 'more open'... but I didn't get a say in…
I think it might be Amazon for the win here.. https://www.amazon.com.au/dp/B09S2QLBWC Even cheaper than the original Kingston pricing.
When I'm working from home, I have three extra monitors hooked up to my laptop (through my USB-C dock). I can add another through HDMI (but…
I've definitely upgraded other Dell laptops with cheapest name brand RAM which matches spec's before. Maybe I've just gotten lucky before.…
Ouch on the pricing from upgradeable though... almost as much as Dell ($299 per 32GB module, so $598 for 64GB.. a bit short of the $799…
And if I'd selected to use the XM Profile then I'd not be surprised if it didn't work. But the motherboard should by default use the…
bweiss commented on How to Connect Laptop with Two Monitors?
Do your monitors have anything other than HDMI? I suspect that you'll be able to hook up one monitor with straight HDMI from the laptop,…
Yeah, I've bought a number of things from them before, the West Melbourne store have always been a bit 'quirky' when I've gone in to pick…
Yeah, unfortunately it's already on the latest. I suspect if Dell (or whoever does the BIOS code for Dell) looked into it they'd probably…
You seem to be talking about overclocking. The's the primary reason that people bin CPUs / motherboards, so that they can push the…
I've upgraded dozens of computers with RAM, almost always picking the fastest CL for a particular price point. Only way back in the non-DDR…
bweiss posted a forum topic DDR5 RAM Incompatibility (How Is This Still a Thing?)
So... I bought 2x32GB of DDR5 Kingston FURY SO-DIMMs (from CPL) for a new Dell Latitude 5531 that I've got. However, when I installed the…
It depends in which state you live, but generally the OC is able to arrange a car towing service that can be used for cars in breach of OC…
bweiss commented on Home Assistant on Windows 10-- Docker or Proxmox?
I've got my Home Assistant installation running on a Synology NAS (as a VM). I'd recommend something similar (even just on a super low cost…
