When everything worked fine, then it's fine. I hit a hidden bug (move between Superloop and Exetel brining home phone) with their system…

I didn't win any tickets, but have put myself in the waitlist for all timeslots. Good luck everyone.

I meant CSAir = China Southern Airlines (also their website domain name - csair.com). They wanted to have CS but Cambrian Airways called…

Quite a few external enclosures (really depends on the firmware settings) are known to disconnect when Mac goes to sleep. Means if the…

Dec 2023 - MEL-HAK-PEK, my luggages were checked through. PEK-HAK-MEL, had to re-check my luggages in HAK. It was a hit and miss. I took…

Yes, one particular team (technojoy) is mass producing them at the moment but also whom being criticised of over simplifying and not…

You don’t. Techie way would be use a Linux PC and idevicerestore to achieve the same result. No Mac required. The easy (and way cheaper)…

The market price in China for those 2TB 3rd party modules is generally in the AU$250 range. Though newer models with better PCB design (a…

Should just go to FB Marketplace if you want one now. As cheap as $200 used with great condition.

Yup, just contacted the customer service and was given instructions to make it work, and it worked right away indeed. Turns out the roaming…

I'm back to my family (in China) for the LNY 2025 right now and my Amaysim hasn't been able to register to network since I landed a few…

It’s actually quite OK if there’s load on the cell. Unloaded voltage would usually higher.

Taking $200 off an Xbox SX 2TB or a Surface is a good deal, but why would you need them in the first place, considering better alternatives…

Shouldn't it be two dashes for the argument 🙃

These drives are packaged similar to a microSD card - everything is enclosed within plastic so the chip itself is waterproof. As long as…

Good thing PayPal, Stripe and Square all have flat rate surcharge so it doesn't matter what card a customer use. Amazon also takes Amex…

Or Apple gift cards for iPhones, iPads or Macs.

I spent mine on a tradie in one go. Had to pay a bit of card surcharge (though Stripe charge a flat rate of 1.7% of for all cards, Visa,…

You can check comments on old deals on OzB. Essentially they’re drives RMAed to Seagate via numerous channels (returns, made faulty,…

Ouch… I hope you didn’t suffer data loss or significant downtime because of that.

Looks exactly like a tissue box without tissue...

I remember I got two of the same (Swisspers, paper stem) boxes from Woolies sometimes ago, like $4-5 a box. I found Coles' Beauty 400pk…

That failure rate is way too high for FR drives (or for any "used" drive). I assume it's Seagate 18TB, either Exos or IronWolf FR. I had…

Their cheapest 18TB FR is currently sold out ($305 = $16.94/TB) But the server pull you mentioned, the price is so good that is worth…

Not just that, it's actually sold by 3rd party seller, not Amazon US themselves.

Or just go to Facebook Marketplace and buy used (in good condition) for $200? PS Portal worked well when it's working well. But it's quirky…

I might have been too conservative. Leaks suggest a MSRP of US$399, which is the equivalent of at least AU$699 with GST.

That's right, I mean OLED will be discontinued earlier than other Switch models, which will fill the gap as last-gen console on cheaper…

Or give you a guilty-free "feeling" of pirate the episodes instead LOL, especially given a BD box set comes with a $300 price tag...
