    The "random stuff I wanna buy but don't" thread

    Nope, can’t say I ever have. Sounds like something you need to see someone about.

    Omarchy Linux

    Played with it a bit on the weekend and I quite like the tiling approach and it’s not really all that dissimilar to how I work on MacOS anyway. Was however not the all in wonder magical experience with constant repo timeouts and failures to install and or update so will have to see if that was...

    Mystery band

    It was even more autistic than I imagined it would be.

    Apple Event - 9 September 2026

    I predict there will be new Apple stuff and their numbers will be of a sequentially changed nature.

    Electric car door handles are facing intense scrutiny for being a safety risk

    You wouldn’t because it’s pretty much inconsequential and would make no perceivable difference to battery life. The only time it would potentially cause a problem is if you hung your keys up within proximity or left them in the car while it was off as they then talk to each other back and forth...

    Yeah that might be one that sways me...although I'm yet to watch the 2nd one.

    Starlink reseller - Starlinkify ..... is this a scam

    With the incredibly similar naming convention too.

    Starlink reseller - Starlinkify ..... is this a scam

    Most satellite services do indeed have a stealth mode for government/military use. However it only blanks the exact GPS location and not the satellite beam the unit is operating in, so for the claimed use case here of not knowing it’s in South Africa is completely nonsense.

    The best TV box I ever had which has 4K streaming, Wi-Fi 6, and PC gaming for R1,499

    And how did your 720p become full screen? Yes it was upscaled. What you should have said is that your TV upscales badly, not that it doesn’t upscale because that’s the only way in which it works to put full screen images on your 4K TV. What tv is it?

    There really isn’t because the pixels need to come from somewhere which is what upscaling does. Every single modern TV does upscaling, it’s part and parcel of the package unlike a monitor.

    Every TV does upscaling. You can’t turn it off. Otherwise you’d have a tiny little box in the middle of the screen.

    Hard drives for NAS

    Point is failures WILL happen and then I’d rather have a no fuss warranty over an already proven to be unreliable drive with a finger up my arse.

    Hard drives for NAS

    But that’s just the thing I also followed BackBlaze data religiously but in the end it just ****ed me. Ironically I have said 12TB Ironwolf drives now but we’ll see how that goes and if i have a warranty claim and it works then it’s still a better deal than I had with WD where I basically lost...

    Say goodbye to spam calls in South Africa

    Placebo I reckon. Hiya is no different to Truecaller in how they operate. More than likely the fact your previous phone didn’t have a native block function, as all these apps use that to do the actual blocking in the background.

    Samsung just uses another version of Truecaller called Hiya.
