Keen if you're after a Large, but allgood if not - just PM me :)

Anyone else want to go halves on a Large Plan?

Yep, same. Still chose to break contract and find a cheaper open-term offer, but not a bad deal if you don't want to go through the hassle.

No, actually. I've arranged for cancellation of my contract (without the $250 exit charge) in the middle of my current billing cycle due to…

Looks like hotshot.nz has a 900/500 plan for $89 open term and a coupon (breakfree) for free connection. Switching from Slingshot later…

Are you aware of the Google TV Streamer (that replaced the CCwGTV 4K)?

I agree that the ThinkPad keyboard is awesome, but just mentioning that Keychron boards would be considered ultra-budget within the wider…

I currently use a UM760 Pro (https://store.minisforum.com/products/minisforum-um790-pro) as a NAS, Docker host and Moonlight client…

It's not right for everyone, but consider an SFF build too (you could build a decent SFF PC and have enough left over for a cheaper…

I had the same issue with a number ported to Spark due to them messing up the porting process - inbound calls from certain telcos weren't…

Samsung NZ.

Aussie retailers have gotten under $1k AUD a few times, but I've never seen anything else close to the Samsung deal.

No, this monitor: https://www.samsung.com/nz/monitors/gaming/odyssey-oled-g6-g61sd-27-inch-240hz-qhd-ls27dg610sexxy/ I have one on my desk…

imo wait for the next batch of ridiculous Samsung monitor deals. They had 27" 240Hz 1440p OLEDs for under $600 last time, so hopefully you…

I got the 512GB non-5G - I believe those are the only differences. Now I have to work out which one (out of it and a Xiaomi Pad 6s Pro) to…

Definitely would've sufficed, in that case.

Depends on what you need your laptop to do.

Got the last one in Palmy.

did you swap the port on your ONT running to your router (assuming fibre)?

yes

No HW-accelerated streaming/transcoding + no HDR tonemapping are pretty big ones, but fair.

Plex is a paid service, Jellyfin is OSS, so it kinda makes sense that people wouldn't wanna hear my particular opinion lol

I really doubt that 60Hz OLED panels are going to continue to be produced - maybe I'm wrong, but I'm seeing 240Hz 1440p as the new standard…

Samsung Education Store code stacking + AMEX $100 cashback. I would've posted it but I was kinda lazy lol (there are posts for other stuff…

Imho it's not really worth it at all. The new-gen 240Hz 27" OLEDs from Samsung were below $600 during Black Friday, with much better panels…

ngl Jellyfin is better at this point

Did they provide any tracking or email/text notification the day before/hour before, or did they literally just rock up?

Price beat $320 from Farmers this morning (i.e. paid $288 at Briscoes 🫡)

they are made of glass yep

Successfully picked it up, cheers OP :))
