If you just need it for transcoding, you can get an A310 on Amazon for ~$170 and it is much less power hungry.

iPhones do not throttle performance based on battery %, they based it on power draw. It is all explained here:…

This or a refurbished Pixel 6 for a very similar cost?

Picked one up with a Thunderbolt dock. Was considering a Pi 5 with the new NVME hat but this is a cheaper option albeit without wifi/BT.

flagsarefun commented on PlayStation 5 Cover $42-$47 (50% off) + Delivery ($0 C&C/ in-Store) @ JB Hi-Fi | + Delivery ($0 Prime/ $59 Spend) @ Amazon AU
Just for awareness these are for the original version of the PlayStation 5, not the more recent slim model.

That site said there’s one in Canberra but the store says there isn’t FYI.

flagsarefun commented on ASRock Challenger OC Arc A770 16GB GDDR6 Graphics Card $489 + Delivery ($0 SYD C&C/ mVIP) + Surcharge @ Mwave
If you don't need the VRAM I'd probably still prefer the 4060, given the more widespread use of DLSS over XeSS, G-Sync compatibility and…

flagsarefun commented on Seagate Game Drive PS5 NVMe SSD 2TB $290.26 Delivered @ Amazon US via AU
SSD prices really have gone up, this is nearly double semi-recent deals such as [this one](https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/822411).

It depends how you want to set up your drives. These won’t have space for 4xHDDs AFAIK

The Super is a nice upgrade, especially with the extra 4GB VRAM, but PCPartPicker has an equivalent model at $1329. That's quite the price…

There are some ways to use the NVMe port to connect a GPU, but don't do that, especially with the low power T-series processor this uses.

Others will know more but my understanding is yes. If you're offloading everything to a GPU then I'm not sure...

flagsarefun commented on Mini PC for Plex and Media
Keep in mind that Intel CPUs have hardware encode/decode. A 7800X3D would be very much wasted I think. You could go slightly older with the…

flagsarefun commented on Sonos One SL $169.20, Samsung 65" The Frame QLED 4K Smart TV [2022] $1345.50 + Delivery ($0 C&C) @ Harvey Norman
I don't really rate the One SLs as standalone speakers but as surrounds they are great, and at this price the same as the SYMFONISK.
