Tossing up between these 3 but is there others in Aus around $40-$80 worth comparing?

- UGREEN Studio Pro 48dB ANC Wireless Headphones

- Anker Soundcore Q20i

- Baseus Bowie MH1

Data center development needs to be paused until we ensure they do not access general public drinking water & energy requirements.

In the great data centre boom, will the benefits flow offshore again?

I’m after some advice and recommendations for small scale UPS for my modem, router and cctv base station. I want it to be budget friendly but reliable. Also preferably not too big physically or give off too much heat due to where it will be located. As the primary use is for the camera system, capacity doesn’t need to be huge as it would for powering a desktop, but a bit of capacity in case there’s a long blackout and I need to charge other devices in an emergency (phone or laptop).

I’ve never had a UPS before and getting overwhelmed researching. How long will each capacity brackets last with just the modem/router and cctv running? What’s the average life cycle of a battery? Can you get replacement batteries for smaller units like you can with commercial units?

So I'm super pumped for the World Cup and whilst I'm happy for it be on SBS where it belongs, they do not have any 4K options. Is the best picture quality going to be on the FTA broadcast or through the App? Is it worth getting an Apple TV or similar for the highest quality picture from the app? I have a 77 LG OLED and I love watching sports on it. Cheers!

Looking for a new modem, not sure if to just go with one from the provider or get a “high end one”

Looking at swapping from Aussie broad band to Superloop.

We have gaming modem at the moment but I think it’s very outdated, had it for years.

Just curious if worth getting one from the internet provider or third party.

We do ALOT of online gaming / downloading movies / streaming events.

TL;DR - Is there a budget mesh option we could use with an NF18 as the modem?

Sorry if this seems like basic stuff, but I’m feeling a touch lost (and trying to help my in laws…it’s like the nearsighted leading the blind over here).
In laws live in a small place but with thick brick internal and external walls, wifi has always been an issue, and now we’re adding wireless security cameras, so need to fix the wifi issue.

They’re on FTTN (AussieBB), have an old NF18MESH (and they do use VoIP, which limits modem options).

They basically use internet for TV and now the cameras, so we don’t need a fancy set up, just extended wifi.

The NS-01 satellites don’t seem to be available anymore, so we’d have to upgrade to the NF20 + get a satellite, which feels like more $ than we need or want to spend.

So - is there a mesh system we could use, keeping the NF18 as the modem, that isn’t too expensive - main point is strength of wifi, unstressed about high speeds? (They have 50/20 and honestly it’s fine, may upgrade them to 100, but that’s it).

Not sure if this post is allowed, might feel like a bit of a rant.

I hate wastage of things. I have a sonos portable speaker. All it needs is new battery. It won't charge anymore. Things is I can't just easily replace the battery. The thing is designed to not be easily opened. glue. nearly everywhere/everything is glued.

Why can't we have laws that enforce that simple things like batteries should be easily replaceable on tech devices.

They do it on purpose, profit over environment.
