The info on the Stedi website shows a USB-C charge port. Is that incorrect?

i think he means an 'out' port... to use the existing battery on the light to charge other things...

not sure if the existing USB-C is wired for 'out' as well as 'in'...

i'm assuming not, as the specs only mention input... no output measurement mentioned...

USB C charge port to charge the light's battery. It won't charge a phone for example.

What would you do if you got the bill at this new joint in sydney?


An online food critic has taken aim at a cult US burger chain which recently opened its doors in Sydney after forking out more than $200 for six burgers and three drinks.

American burger giant Five Guys opened its first Australian restaurant in Sydney’s Penrith last month during the state’s four-month lockdown.

Now that the city has reopened, Sydneysiders have been rushing to get a taste of the US burger, flooding social media with videos and reviews.

“I cannot justify paying this amount of money for this. I’d go straight to Hungry Jacks,” he said in a video shared this week.

“The honest truth is it is f***ing sh*t.”

He ended his TikTok rant by describing the burger as “slop” and telling Five Guys to “go back to where you came from”.

So just went to shut down laptop, and it gave me a message that this laptop doesnt meet requirements for Windows 11..
I never asked it to check...

Is this going to be another MS Special where you dont get a choice and it will just update "for you" ?

It’s just a check…

More gear won’t be able to update to Windows 11, due to higher minimum specs.

If you have your settings configured correctly, no update will get installed without your knowledge or approval.

Yes, i had exactly the same Bruce but it also told me that updates would continue to be available for windows10. Although my current HP  laptop is about 8 years old and i use my Android smartphone for most things nowdays i still need a laptop and cant justify the cost of buying the latest model just to get Windows11.

One probably asked the other!!

What's the problem? Why aren't more businesses getting on board and helping us all open back up again. Can't complain about the lack of vaccines or locations and then have a go at a solution to help  ???

C'mon Qld get to 80% and let me back in  ;D

I would of thought It's QLD Health's responsibilty to provide the vaccine as other states have through Hubs, Chemists & health care professionals.
So with 400 000 people in SE qld still unvaccined, I guess they have to do something and yes, why aren't other businesses involved?

They have been operating all sorts of hubs including business based hubs for a few months now. They started with essential places such as distribution centres. It was a supply of vaccine issue for quite a while but not since mid September. I suppose that we have only had good supply for just over a month, combined with border controls restricting outbreaks, has led to some complacency. I feel that’s why they announced the opening dates to try to apply a bit of pressure on the tardy as they did in NSW.

Yep, they've got all of them operating, but the uptake is still too slow, so they're trying as many different outlets as possible.
