The too long thing in my case and I know what sort of monster I am... I'm at peace with that :P

The OP talks about hiring a car for $1,000 for a period plus Uber and things otherwise. I'm not saying it's not possible, but as…

We upgraded from 6.6kW solar on 5kW Inverter to 13.2kW panels, 10kW Inverter + 32kWh battery and have a similar pay back period and are on…

I was sorted in Ryobi house on reaching adulthood and have used their One+ range since for pretty much every hand tool from drills to…

I went from Telstra to Boost and it suddenly became almost unusable... back to Telstra and all was well. Now I'm with Woolworths Mobile and…

Some people have horror stories and lots of hate for Sendle, but I've used them for a bunch of years and they are typically cheaper and…

We have the Woolworths version of this, $7 / month vs 10% off anything bigger than a $70 shop means you're in front by up to $43 (although…

Seems only select domains work with gmailify, everything else is just POP (which is all of mine). Sounds like I'm SOL. Fastmail is an…

Is Gmailify different to just setting up basic email fetching (and sending) within your existing gmail account? I've got about 5 different…

Long term average (over 7 years) in Victoria with 6.6kW of panels on a 5kW inverter was 32.9% of our usage covered by solar. That's down to…

Last time around we took all our freebie tickets down on the last weekend you could redeem them and went to the counter and placed about 15…

I have a cheap soundbar with analog inputs bolted to the wall behind my screens. I had a failed PSU, but being external I found something…

How did I forget monitor arms! Yes! And get a single arm for each screen over multi-arm jobs. Since arms give you so much more of a range…

I get both sides of that, of course work should provide equipment to work... but then they could also say they do that in the office, you…

This won't all fit in your budget, but my thoughts. A good chair. Most stuff people have at home is not rated for 8 hour days. During COVID…

Usually the only real discounts on the new phones are the 10% Apple gift cards that come up from time to time. A couple of year ago I…

I'm still sad there are Ultra only faces, especially when the S10 is (mostly) better specced than the Ultra 1 and Ultra 2 outside of…

I have a simple script that basically just loops back on itself so you can paste a URL, it downloads... repeat until done. Beats having to…

GOAT!

Took me a moment (and to re-read the instructions properly). You have to double tap on the text/title “Unlock the Best Version of…

My current pfsense box is running on a dedicated 4th Gen Intel box. I do consider upgrading to something smaller and more power efficient…

Last car I listed on marketplace with zero effort while I was sorting over the changeover for the new car. I hadn't even sorted the RWC at…

School holidays for half of that period too which kicks me below 10.

Pfffft, moderate. Maybe my definition of easy/moderate/hard is different... but that's remove the feet, unscrew a couple of screws, pry it…

Didn't this used to go to Ringwood too?

Something to be aware of if you buy some docks... I've got a Lenovo travel dock I was using for a temporary setup. As a dock it was fine…

Damn the need for sleep! Missed it again :P

Missed it (and probably by a lot). Would have been a great option for my kids who seem to actively destroy laptops at school.

While custom plates are clearly a luxury that isn't a necessity, the argument for this cost vs the issue of new plates is pretty valid....…

It's been a decade since I last needed a new one, but it's always been like this. Back in the day Jaycar would sell you something cheap or…
