my family of 3 did 500g/mth back on ADSL2+ before the NBN reached us at the end of its roll out, so kinda impressed you can use so little…

how about the 7.8" versions of the Boox/Bigme for manga & comics (I need the play store) - kinda like using an iPad mini but colour eInk…

that's Amazon Germany, US seem to be taking backorders are the listed price atm still but the no immediate stock makes it feed us the…

it'd be reusing a free device to achieve what the paid devices you mentioned above do, so if you don't have one already it'd be more…

are you on FTTP so your internet stays up in this scenario (you mentioned network gear being on it, mine stays up in that scenario), or is…

That's cool, as a rufus user for a crapload of bootable USB junk this sounds fantastic

that's not much space. not a prob for the linux distro but for windows growth/bloat, might be safer to use another SSD for linux. even if…

normally the 3rd gen homebase has the 16GB built in and the expansion slot empty, so I assume it means this "pro kit" comes with a 1TB…

If I read it right, Eufy have a wired for power, wireless for data version of these cameras…

IIRC that one has very similar guts to the original Google WiFi I have, just slightly faster 2.4g band. My 3x Google WiFi with similar…

you should have split the not stressed into the time scale as well and had more time points IMO - ppl who bought in the last few yrs vs ppl…

Often its like a 6hr window and its either no drop at all, an instant drop and reconnect, or maybe 15-20min at worst.

The Superloop emails I get specify that its NBN works usually, and NBN works are usually in the middle of the night. I don't get texts from…

Does the apartment have the previous NBN hardware, like a phone line for FTTN/B/C or HFC cable? If yes, Superloop should have been able to…

yeah, something ain't right there the fact that nbn box --> cat7 cable --> PC works properly means it isn't NBN/Superloop now it has failed…

put the Cat7 cable in there and test from your PC over WiFi and see what happens - got any other cables? It could be that your Cat5E cable…

The cat5 cable between your NBN NTD and router is the issue here, Cat5E or better. Your wireless will be slower than hard wired (with the…

I had similar probs and it ended up being the modem. I was lucky enough to have a spare from another ISP/RSP so I just switched them and…

Honestly, basically all of the NAS distros do the stuff you want, so if you're familiar with FreeNAS/TrueNAS, what is the benefit of…

I haven't looked at your specific listed items as I'm not familiar with the best bang for buck units atm, just want to stress the…

So to clarify and get more info... The router is in the garage right now, and everywhere, both upstairs and downstairs, has patchy WiFi? Or…

Well I mean, what SSD are you getting? A $50-80 small 250-500GB MX500 or similar yeah sure why not? 4TB massive SATA drive that costs a few…

no, of course most don't need it. Prob is there is a gap in the market (or at least there was when I last looked) between the affordable…

Ubiquiti basically take enterprise sort of tech and package it for home power users & small business - that's why it costs more than the…

Ya, when its a teeny bit more money shoving something bigger in is always tempting. As an owner of both a 6700XT (daughter's rig) and…

It has DV in it, I assume (hope?!) doesn't stand for *that* DV

Dunno about the V2 - but IIRC the V1's PSU struggled with some 3080s and the like even though it should have been big enough. The SFX…

What's your monitor here? In that teeny case is it viable to drop to a RX6700XT(6750?) or 3070(Ti?) to lower your heat load? They'll shred…

my point is I'm already getting 100 so they won't upgrade it for free unless I order a higher plan Was just pointing out I'm comparatively…

the shaped line sync is always like 10% higher or so, so that your actual performance comes closer to what they advertise. My modem reports…
