Do you need a Samsung Phone for it, or will any Android work?

Shermanpk commented on Crucial T500 2TB PCIe Gen 4 NVMe M.2 2280 SSD $185.97 Delivered @ Amazon UK via AU
Is this PCIe 4.0 x 1?

My wife had me go to (profanity) WAR for one of these things! I carried one out and to the car on my own, it's not so much the weight as…

Probably depending on what stock they have. Get rid of the stuff they have more stock of.

tessel on [SA] Hisense Hybrid Chest Freezer $249.99 in-Store (RRP $349) @ Costco, Adelaide (Membership Required)

Fridge/Freezer. It's actually a great idea for something like a drinks' fridge.

Sorry, I don't have any, anymore. It was months ago. I got them from Ali-Express. Quality was fine. I got two, one that will do 100W USB-C…

I had gotten a similar device to this one, but mine had 3x USB-C and a USB-A rather than this one's 3x USB-A.

I was just thinking 'wasn't this only $35 last time I saw it?!' no that was the UGreen.

CyberMurning on Ueetop 175W Gan USB-C 6-Port Charger AU Plug US$24.85 (~A$45.08) Delivered @ UEETOP Choice Store AliExpress

It can depend on the cable sometimes, but typically a cable being plugged in on only one end won't have any effect.

Shermanpk commented on GMKtec M5 Plus AMD Ryzen 7 5825U Mini PC Barebone DDR4 RAM US$186.80 (~A$300) Delivered @ China Box AliExpress
Great Device. IMO Intel N100 type devices are a better solution in THIS class of device due to their lower idle power consumption. IMO AMD…

Not endorsing it, but [here](https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005008053996753.html) is an example, for about that price. Do your own…

What would you suggest?

Nah, for me at least, 4k is great. Not much point in 8K when there isn't any content.

The room is about 4m, but fairly narrow. So not huge, but we're a long way away from the TV.

Shermanpk posted a forum topic Best Value 85"—105" Premium TV
Wondering people's opinion's on the best 85"—105" Premium TV (I'd consider as small as 75" if it's much better value). I'm looking…

Shermanpk posted a forum topic Is the TCL 85C855 worth it over the TCL 85C755?
Wondering the value of the 85C855 over the 85C755. Obviously, there are a few perfunctory differences, like the 855 having 64GB slightly…

Shermanpk commented on Noctua NF-A8 80mm PWM Fan $27.47 (Was $30.78) or 2 for $49.44 + Delivery ($0 with Prime/ $59 Spend) @ Amazon US via AU
Anyone got a deal on quiet 40mm fans for a Network Switch?

Are the probes able to be totally in the BBQ and function with temperatures of up to their operating temperatures?

This! If you want a charger that doesn't renegotiate with each connect/disconnect, then your best bet is to get separate chargers for each…

Shermanpk commented on [Prime] Meross Smart Wi-Fi Plug with Energy Monitor - 4-Pack $48.97 Delivered @ Shuzu-AU via Amazon AU
Anyone checked the idle power usage of these, often times these types of devices will use more power than they'll save. Edit for clarity.

omblygombly on Onix 8kg Heat Pump Dryer ON-HPD8W $543 Delivered @ Appliances Online

I'd guess that was a one-off reading on a specific setting? But would love to hear from someone who has one?

Shermanpk replied to
Lolitsjoel on Onix 8kg Heat Pump Dryer ON-HPD8W $543 Delivered @ Appliances Online

What's the advantage of the Esatto? Onix looks to be a little more energy efficient, otherwise they're more or less the same?

Is it bad that I look at that as a good thing?

jv on Google TV Streamer 4K $147 + Delivery ($0 to Metro/ in-Store/ C&C/ OnePass) @ Officeworks

For most, Ethernet is a cheap USB-C adapter, and storage is irrelevant. Out of interest, what do you use local storage for?

What was the 'before' price two years ago?

The specs have been upgraded, but the Video support isn't upgraded. And the specs weren't an issue on the previous version. CPU, Storage,…
