Thrifty McGifty replied to bargaino on [eBay Plus, Refurb] Lenovo ThinkCentre M900 Tiny PC i7-6700T 8GB RAM 256GB SSD $143.20 Delivered @ UN Tech via eBay
I've got Proxmox on one of these with a 6700T and 16GB RAM, and Windows 11 VM runs like a 2-legged dog. Am I doing something wrong?

I don't know. I wouldn't buy one, but an incense burner means smoke would come out of this thing, like in the movie. I think that's some…

Thrifty McGifty commented on [NSW] 1m High Parcel Letterbox $300 Delivered ($99 off) @ My Store
Doesn't appear to have a mail slot, so you'd still need a regular letterbox. (Yes, you could drop mail in it like a parcel, but Auspost…

Thrifty McGifty replied to boomramada on Cygnett MagCharge Magnetic Wireless Charging Cable 2m - Black $10 (RRP $49.95) C&C / in-Store Only @ BIG W
That doesn't have MagSafe. I find the magnets to be very useful, but some may prefer to not have them.

Thrifty McGifty replied to FoxJump on GL.iNet GL-B3000 (Marble) Wi-Fi 6 Router $69.95 Delivered @ GL.iNet via Amazon AU
If it runs openwrt, can't it still do mesh? Or are you talking about the 6GHz wireless backhaul? (In which case I don't mind because I've…

Thrifty McGifty replied to BinaryPirate on [Refurbished] Konica Bizhub 4402P & 4700P A4 Mono Laser Printers $15 + Shipping ($0 C&C in Sydney) @ MediaForm
Can't you just buy generic toner on AliExpress and refill them? They come with a plug so you can just drill a hole in the old one.

Thrifty McGifty replied to Thrifty McGifty on [Pre Order] MAMMOTION YUKA mini 500 Robot Lawn Mower + 24 Replacement Blades $1294 Delivered @ Mammotion, Hong Kong
Actually, $2.5k for the smaller version is more reasonable. Probably not worth it yet, but better than $4k.

Thrifty McGifty replied to aj-007 on [Pre Order] MAMMOTION YUKA mini 500 Robot Lawn Mower + 24 Replacement Blades $1294 Delivered @ Mammotion, Hong Kong
Yikes. At $4k, I could pay someone to mow my lawn for 3 years.

Is this a Poweramp rip-off? Similar name, very similar icon/logo.

Thrifty McGifty commented on BIG4 Holiday Parks 2-Year Perks+ Membership $30 (Was $50, 40% off) @ BIG4 Holiday Parks
FYI, we couldn't book past the membership expiry date. So 2 years membership doesn't really last 2 years.
