Elections tend to cause a dip. If there is a substantial change in the government after the election, that also tends to make things worse.

For what it's worth, I have a few ancient 16GB and 200GB 2.5" drives that are noisier (just the HDD spinning noise alone) than any of the…

It's a good starting point, but it does not tell the whole story. Ideally, you'd be able to see the spectral distribution of the noise for…

I have eight drives; a mix of 8TB, 20TB and 22TB WD Red Pro NAS drives. They are in a thin sheet metal PC case without acoustic insulation…

Until it becomes evident that a certain person is sabotaging the organisation, lawyers get involved and shit really hits the fan.

Oh please do talk him out if it! Do you really want to luck in on this person being his own tradie or such? You know, the type that…

Yes, you are right. My Firefox installation defaults to "Enhanced Tracking Protection" being on. Disabling that option allows the page to…

Yep. Works with Chrome, not with Firefox. Back to the '90s.

Sorry, <div>, not span. Thanks for the screen shot. I don't get that, even though the page loads in reasonable time (1~2 seconds). Maybe…

Using Firefox with uBlock Origin. Even with uBo turned off, there is no entry form. Inspecting the HTML shows an empty span where you'd…

Either their web site is broken or they pulled the subscriptions, either way, there's no way to enter.

Seems like a tactile user interface with physical buttons would be a better choice if you need to operate the controls in the middle of the…

Am I missing something or does this mobo not have any SATA or SAS ports?

@persianoz Here's a run down on the Eureka grinders in this category. * The Specialita has 55mm burrs, 310W motor and just the right mount…

BTW: The bonus items that come with this deal: * Tamper - a good one is important. This one looks the part, but the devil is in the detail.…

Yes, worth asking a broker and **also** trying to negotiate a price yourself. I would not class myself as a particularly good haggler, yet…

And if you do forget the mats, [rubbertree.com.au](https://rubbertree.com.au) has you covered.

When I was doing my homework, every bit of advice I found suggested that 10 is a better machine than 11. Or at least, people who tried both…

Resmed seem to be about the only brand without some safety scandal involving a recall. Would you entrust your ability to breathe to some…

Not in the same ballpark. WPM grinder is a commercial 64mm workhorse at double the price. Eureka Silencio is a 50mm grinder - the smallest…

They both grind coffee. Everything else -> Different. That includes price category. Kind of like comparing a $40k car to a $100k+ car.

Night and day difference. Once I switched from the Breville Smart Grinder Pro to a Eureka Specialita, I realised that I wasted years…

These grinders are so easy to open and clean that I've never even contemplated using a cleaning product. Just don't over-tighten any of the…

ROFLMAO! Good one!

Package, including choice of mask.

I bought one for a family member for $1,045 about 16 months ago from the same store.

I tried one. Their best price wasn't as good as what I negotiated in person at the dealership.

Time will tell. Four months in with a MY2025 Kona and liking the car (and the service from the dealership) a lot better than my last two…

This. I went out to buy a Subaru and ended up buying Hyundai. The Subaru car technology is stuck in early 2000's, except the current models…

A card board box lined with foam. No need to over-think it. Retail packaged HDDs come with reasonable level of protection, so just reuse…
