Some "funny" comments here but if this belt fails then you're quite likely to cook your engine or at least have no power steering etc. The…

It will even charge when turned off with a USB-C phone charger. Not enough power to charge whilst on but makes it more flexible for use…

Me too. I was of one the few that got it for $55.99 AUD and it's been fine for me at home running as an HTPC. Nov 2023, 24/7 to this date.…

I'd be really interested to see what warranty parts availability will be like in 2034 for a 10 year old current generation MG3, especially…

"Is it just the thrill of the bargain for most or what?" I suspect in many cases it is and I'm guilty as well but when it comes down to…

No. With all due respect, I do understand batteries - Electronics Eng etc. To me, the quality of batteries has been quietly going down year…

This speed is perfect for many users. Far better a stable speed rather than 4/5G etc. Pings should be decent, maybe 6/8 m/S and that really…

One of the main reasons I've moved across to Eneloops or the IKEA equivalent is that they seem to more resistant to leaks. In fact…

They're up there for sure. Maybe not the best but how can you define that? In many case it comes down to personal opinion e.g. "I'm a…

My thanks to the OP. Order just confirmed and ready for pickup in Penrith. I normally use DeWalt for big jobs but these 12V tools have been…

I can't see why not - the motherboard clearly states 3 outputs and the max resolutions and all are 4K or above. 2 x HDMI and 1 x DP. I've…

I still have a Toshiba Libretto 100CT and it still works, even the battery has some life in it. Running 98SE from memory with a period WiFi…

Just no. I like Americans in general, have lived there for 4 years and visited 39 states but will NOT go back there ever again unless the…

These work fine for workstations or HTPCs. Using one right now with 3 monitors at various resolutions/orientations. I'm using a Asrock B450…

Might be worth a try as 29% meat in a party pie is a very good amount of meat vs pastry/filler etc.

Tried those last week or so as they were on special so why not? Bad choice - they were terrible. The pastry was just rock hard and the…

A couple of years ago they were identical in all measures etc, so the same basically re-badged, i.e. the same product with a a different…

Many seem to think that National Pies are pretty good, I've never tried them - would love to see some comments!

Yep, they work well. I have one myself but generally make larger pies but yes they're great! Leftovers are perfect for pies, already…

It's a controversial topic. Opinions vary. Personally I've had no issues with exposed red meat (beef NOT chicken etc) in a normal fridge…

Accept that but if you want decent pies you need to work at it. I do use basic store-bought pastry etc so it's not too bad. It sounds like…

Tried them - we were not impressed. I must be the pie police tonight!

A few years ago they used to be +30% beef etc. 32 from memory? This was pre-Covid and they were great. Now sadly a bit more like beef…

Agreed. I love the taste of fat but can't get over the texture. E.g. - 80/20 burgers are great as they have the taste with fat etc. Fat in…

So sad...

Would love to but...and appreciate the humour. But they're so easy to do. Checkout a Nagi recipe on YT for the basics. That said, my last…

Used to be a few years ago, not so much now. I just make my own now.

same here - basic chrome sans extensions of any kind and only used for cashbacks and never a problem with any of them.

No problem, totally understand. I have my own small IT Business supporting Pharmacies etc so RAM upgrades happen often due to the shear…

Just some +ve feedback. Mine came today and frankly seems be literally as new, even the sticky Intel label on the palm rest and windows…
