alpln on LiCB CR2032 3V Lithium Battery (10-Pack) $7.99 + Delivery ($0 with Prime/ $59 Spend) @ LiCB via Amazon AU

Probably not. But the [Maxell ones listed on OzB](https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/868327) are indeed more durable than others.

Iwantthebestprice on ANYFAR A4 Wireless Apple CarPlay Adapter $39.99 + Delivery ($0 with Prime/ $59 Spend) @ FitAlly via Amazon AU

No, you'll need a car with wired CarPlay first. This dongle essentially present itself as an iPhone, and then connect to your iPhone…

EBC on Philips Hue Dimmer Switch $27.50 + Delivery ($0 with Prime/ $59 Spend) @ Amazon AU

Mine was a bunch of Tuya wall switches with Tasmota in the beginning and now all on ESPHome. Same generic Tuya model (KS-811 white-box…

xmagic commented on Optional Static IPv4 for nbn - $5 Per Month on Top of Plan Fee (Was $10 Per Month) @ Buddy Telco
What I’m looking for is free public IPv4 and no CGNAT, not a paid static IP.

The old $119 Woolworths plan seems to be a better deal than this in long term, if you can get one:…

Yup that’s the case why setting expectations right and a proper warranty are so important. If just buying one or two drives without means…

They're not much more noisier than WD heliums. East Digital also has HC550 pulls (not FR, these are really used drives) which are even…

This is probably the most awkward time to come up with a better offer than this particular one at 8-14TB range. If a 3-year warranty…

<$25/TB CMR is the gold standard of a good spinning rust deal. Not $35/TB.

Barry off EastEnders on [Switch] Selected Mario Switch Games $54 ($48.60 with Everyday Rewards) + $4 Delivery ($0 C&C/ In-Store/ $65 Order) @ BIG W

True. Online battle pretty much dead within the first year of release.

As long as it's apple.com, then yes.

LittleMIssPanda on Apple MacBook Pro 14" M4 GPU 24GB/1TB Space Black $2679 Delivered @ Emporium Electronics (Price Beat $2545.05 @ Officeworks)

Just buy from Apple AOC or edu program instead. Will probably ended up with similar prices.

uccoffee on ORICO 1TB External SSD $108.49 Delivered @ ORICO G.O.A.T AU OFFICIAL STORE Amazon AU

Likely not without breaking something. From the design it is probably a normal NVMe SSD with a bridge board, instead of a custom solution.…

bcarp on Yale Assure Lock SL Digital Deadbolt - Satin Chrome $249.95 (RRP $309) Delivered @ Pop Phones

No, Yale's HomeKit integration does none of these. Actually other HomeKit-enabled locks do (like the ones from Aqara) allow pin management…

shinkudo on Yale Assure Lock SL Digital Deadbolt - Satin Chrome $249.95 (RRP $309) Delivered @ Pop Phones

I agree, the Yale Home app is unnecessarily complex and hard to use. At least I'm glad people found a stable way to get the encryption keys…

bcarp on Yale Assure Lock SL Digital Deadbolt - Satin Chrome $249.95 (RRP $309) Delivered @ Pop Phones

If you need Wi-Fi/Internet remote access, given the price of the Yale bridge, better buy a HomePod mini instead.

If it's the Yale Home or Apple Homekit edition. But usually that's the case anyway.

Anything about IPv6 support and CGNAT opt-out?

You'll regret more if you're on Hisense - their Google/Android TV sucks (especially HDMI 2.1 features implementation like VRR, ALLM, etc.)…

If you want the extreme then probably worth it? 3500nits vs 2400 nits makes a difference in HDR/Dolby Vision videos, but only if you have…

Probably not $2.5k more, but 98" in indeed more immersive. I had such impression when upgraded from a 75 to 85, and won't doubt 98 is…

rooon on Navman MiVue KUBE Dash Cam $39 + Delivery ($0 C&C/ In-Store/ OnePass/ $65 Order) @ Kmart

That seems to be a software feature for MiVue Manager PC software, not the KUBE dashcam specifically.

Updates - it's a very basic dashcam. Boots up to recording start in around 10s (which is a bit slow IMO). Not much configuration options,…
