The Band 10 was released a month ago with a brighter screen and better health features, hence the discounts on the Band 9.

The big factor is there is almost a duopoly in HDDs now, very little competition so no reason to compete on price or features.

Yeah, it gets complex. Often with cards you need to balance higher fixed fees or better exchange rates.

Even the used server Xeons that I've bought from AliExpress have been fine - well packaged too. Ali has better customer service than Ebay…

Bunnings free delivery only for items less than 2kgs.

The battery is easily swap-able so you can carry a spare.

Yes, they are pretty good. Worth reading the manual for all the weird modes it has. Only downside is that you need a particularly long USB…

Much of the world's economy is now services (software, call centres, accounting etc), not goods. These tariffs only apply to physical…

Checkout the retired pollies who work there. The NSW bureaucrats who negotiated the deal with TransUrban now work there too.

Linux should work just fine. These Hackintosh pretty well, too.

OP, thanks for making the RAM upgrade option!

I don't know about this particular system - no idea what its boot options are. It also depends on the NAS OS. UnRAID is pretty flexible.…

Yes, this will likely be the first point of failure. Put the OS on one of the NVMe drives rather.

Yes, I agree. The speed of the storage (4x 2 GB/s for PCIe 3 x2) and that of the network interfaces (2 x 0.25GB/s) is rather mismatched.…

Look at the dBA part of the specification. This tells you how much sound they make.

A Data General Nova 1200 (computer from 1969) bought at auction for a dollar. It was the fast model, the 1200 referred to the 1200ns…

No, but if you own a deep ocean submersible these are rated to Titanic depths.

Noctua fans are made by Yen Sun Technology aka Y.S. Tech.

They are still very good, but pricey and the competition has caught up. Not made in Austria anymore, but made in China. You can find the…

This worries me as you can see they've cut corners here, where else have they cut corners that you can't see on a "premium" notebook.

Generally, yes. For an emergency light though replaceable batteries are useful. That said, anyone buying these, take out the Duracells.…

Yeah the "dual resolution" is marketing BS. Look at the back of any monitor manual and you'll find a table of vertical frequency in Hz vs…

Yes, they are now selling WD used and not Seagate. Perhaps because the wiped Seagate SMART data has a bypass to see the real drive stats,…

Microsoft charges way less in poorer countries like Bangladesh. The same way people get cheap Netflix in Argentina or Turkey. They charge…

The good thing about Google phones is that the bootloader is not locked - you can easily reflash the Australian ROM if you want.

Upvote to the OP for a great description.

AMD's CPU numbering is designed to confuse.

Yeah, they are full of meaningless names now. You knew what the old Red, Brown and Blue were. There was one on OzBargain a few days ago…

Yeah - this + Merlin for many many other uses too.

Yes, they were good 15 years ago. Expensive leakers now.
