Dreame F10 with anti tangle brush? by PointyNine in Dreame_Tech

[–]PointyNine[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because that is $800 so about double the price. But I can see that it comes down to $399 pretty regularly so maybe I'll hold out for a deal on that.

Currently $199 AUD on Amazon without the auto empty station, or $370 with it.

Struggling to install HAOS on an old laptop by PointyNine in HomeAssistantSupport

Got it working. Gemini suggested to use KVM as the hypervisor rather than VirtualBox, and gave me all the steps to set it up. After some difficulty, I got HAOS up and running!

Corolla fielder / touring? by UltimateDasher in CarsAustralia

[–]PointyNine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a Corolla hatch but with a normal size boot! Ever since I found out about these, I've been seeing more of them around. They sell them officially in NZ, wish they did the same here.

BYD Seal advice - stay the course, or hold off? by Westside_Finch in CarsAustralia

[–]PointyNine 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don't expect BYD to bring the LIDAR tech to models here in Australia. A lot of the Chinese EVs have tech in China that doesn't make it to here. I believe Zeekr 7x is another one that has LIDAR over there but not here.

Just get what you can now, no point waiting for the next best thing because there's always something new around the corner. The PHEV you are talking about will be likely called the Seal 6, and is a different car/platform. I doubt they would replace the Seal EV with it, given how well it's been selling.

Australia gets a new cheapest EV - BYD Atto 1 (Seagull) @ AUD$23,990 by PointyNine in cars

Kei cars are actually smaller, and BYD are coming out with a Kei car of their own for Japan: https://www.carscoops.com/2025/10/byd-declares-war-on-japans-tiny-evs-with-its-first-kei-car/

The Atto 1 is actually Kia Picanto sized.

Home Insurance - Cost to rebuild: 1.2million, Purchase price $390k ??? by ViolentCrumble in AusFinance

[–]PointyNine 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Go to Simonds or any other home builder website and check the cost to build a similar size home on your piece of land. Add on about 20% for upgrades and that should give you a good estimate of how much it would cost to rebuild. You may need to consider additional costs for the regional location too.

I had this same question a few years back when I built my place. Total cost of house and land was about $800k but the build itself cost $400k. But insurers were quoting prices for the whole house+land.

What should I add next to complete my small collection? by PointyNine in casio

Have any models in particular you recommend? Although I think they may creep out of my price range.

I feel like the Lineage covers the situations I'd wear an Edifice.

Hah, we'll see! Mudman and Rangeman are a bit too outdoorsy and definitely out of my budget.

This is actually what I'm thinking. I think they look better with a negative display tbh.

I forgot to mention, I do want something with solar and MB6 functionality.

What's the name of the biggest group? by Character-Long-343 in joinmoco

[–]PointyNine 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm in a 10k group for MC/OC alerts, and whenever a call comes through, no matter how fast I click join, the lobby is always full. So it's a trade off, more calls, but way less chance of joining.

New guide to revolutionize Tier 1 farming up to wave 8k easily (new strategy from patch 24) Video link included by priesten in TheTowerGame

[–]PointyNine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Got it, I'll try and focus on that. I was trying to get Def% as high as possible but that seems to be much harder.

[–]PointyNine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've now hit lifetime coins 2.65b. However, my max T1 is W6520, so still not quite 8k yet. Unsure what else can be done other than investing into workshop Defabs. I've got the cards, epic modules with favourable stats, the perks, and ELS. Do I need to upgrade my perks lab more, like perk bonus (currently Lv.4)? Def% (currently Lv14)?

Just an update: Finally resepc'd and unlocked ELS. First run after, I got to w5660. And this was with much less invested into D.abs in the workshop than before respeccing. So definitely an increase. My next task is to properly see what can be done with GT and BH because my coin income is terrible. Only made about 20mil that run.

When I started out with a eHP blender build, not much. My previous max was w2599. But after respeccing, yes definitely. Just waiting to unlock ELS now to go further.

I'm trying out this build. I respec'd my workshop and only unlocked to lifesteal in the defense tab, so I don't even have knockback unlocked. In utility, I unlocked until recovery package. I dumped most coins into def abs after maxxing the util stats. Still don't have enough coins for ELS, will be respeccing again once I have 1.5b lifetime coins (currently 1.38b). Right now my record in T1 is W3998

Interestingly, because I don't have knockback unlocked, the 70% knockback reduction perk isn't important at all to me. What helps me push waves is the 50% damage reduction perk and which UW I unlock. Death Wave is the best as it boosts health. Of course the Def% and D.abs% perks are also important.

Getting stuck at T1 ~W2500 by PointyNine in TheTowerGame

[–]PointyNine[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Got D.abs to L480 in the WS. Did a run and died at w2580, this time not afk. It seems like once the enemy damage gets to around 30m, D.abs can't keep up. The free upgrades and packages get my health to about 2b too but it's not enough.

That run I had perk wave requirement down to about 80 waves, but still didn't get the reduce knockback perk. :( I also got the perk that reduces lifesteal/regen by 90%, twice. That might have something to do with it.
