Hi guys and girls,

Just found this through my emails, appears to be a good deal compared with whats currently available from the brick and mortar stores.

This is the international version, as quoted below from COTD;

Please note that this product is the international version, and therefore might differ slightly from local versions. An Australian power adapter will be included if appropriate.

Looking at getting one of these myself though I would find more incentive if free delivery was included.

If anyone knows of any current COTD coupons or promos please share and I'll include them in the post.

Don't forget to use Cashrewards for an additional 3.2% discount!

          @eug:

          Don't forget your tinfoil hat on the way down!

          You just can't resist, can you eug?
          And that's all you have to respond with.

          Too much evidence you can't argue against. I'll play:

          https://www.sott.net/article/207247-Electromagnetic-radiatio…
          Lance: Oh! No-no! Literally like putting tin strips, you know, roles that they put in the roof and earthing it. Something like that.

          BT: Yes sir, okay…uhm, this can be done sir, but not tin foil. Tin foil actually has little microscopic holes and lets the radiation through and in fact focuses it. Uhm, what you could use is aluminum tin, which they use in the building industry, radiator foil, aluminum foil, the thick insulating aluminum foil, that, between you and the roof, shiny side to the roof, that will reduce the radiation coming in.

          No it isn't. Just like smoking and asbestos, we have 2 sides fighting for decades. Too many vested interests for the truth not to be clouded by untruths. But the smarter ones make decisions early. And think for themselves. Based on the evidence.

          I'm glad you think so. But that is not my goal. Clearly you have nothing of substance to respond with, so you might consider not responding in future. But that would be asking too much given your history.

        • eug on 26/07/2017 - 13:33

          @cheepwun: Ah you see, given your history, I'm smart enough not to join you down that rabbit hole. Good luck on your quest! Remember, you're always 100% correct with all your big brother theories. :)

          Join me? Sun rays on my face. I haven't even started to go down my wi-fi-free and bluetooth-free rabbit hole. None of you want to talk because you have nothing to say.

          you're always 100% correct with all your big brother theories

          No, not at all. Just presenting an alternative opinion to the swathes of "wi-fi and bluetooth is safe" masses and "Google are great" masses. I love responding to sarcasm seriously, in case you are slow on the uptake. Big Brother theories, you say? Nah, facts. But you are free to label as you wish.

          We should join forces one day. Perhaps we have. You've made it easier to present alternative views (also known as the truth). Much like when they put 2 celebrities against each other to generate more press for themselves.

        • eug on 27/07/2017 - 13:50

          @domcc1: Did you know your mobile phone can be turned into a covert listening device by the CIA? Better destroy it immediately! I can't believe you're opening yourself to such surveillance by allowing a mobile phone near you. They can track every single movement of yours too. Are you asleep?!

          Did you know the government secretly bankrolled the rise of selfies so phone manufacturers will install better and better front-facing cameras to allow them to collect higher-resolution images of users? Wake up!!

          In fact, the government secretly runs OzBargain so they can track every user's upvotes to learn more about them. It's far better than the spending data gathered by your bank/credit card/loyalty card companies.

        • MementoMori on 27/07/2017 - 14:52

        • eug on 27/07/2017 - 15:12

        • cheepwun on 27/07/2017 - 17:32

          @eug:
          Please ignore the fact that daily people are fighting for their freedoms (and yours) and without privacy & free speech they are dead. Please ignore the fact that the world is turning into a totalitarian nightmare before you eyes and all you have to comment on is the brand of your toilet paper.

          But it's easy to make careless remarks, as if privacy and free speech are somehow unrelated. It's easy to make remarks like this in a nation bombing others for corporate profits along with its so-called allies. It's all about the brand of toilet paper you use, not that privacy is basically dead, and with it - free speech.

          Feel free to continue indeed. Feel free to continue feeding these buttcracks with your data. Until one day you need to speak up, or need to defend yourself…and can't. You're targeted.

I'll make sure I scatter the ashes into the ocean while wearing my tinfoil hat, and making sure i never look up in case the government satellites see my face.

          Or maybe I didn't do any of that. Only the government knows!

          That presupposes that they have to actively do something to monitor you. Snowden showed us they don't. They're logging everything on everyone, it doesn't have to be 'turned on' just for you.

          Not to mention, you've also just said it's OK for people to spy on you, and that you trust their data privacy and security practices.

Don't forget to disable the microphone and camera on all your smartphones and tablets - the CIA can listen in to you through those too! If you just leave it as is, you're basically saying it's OK for the CIA to spy on you, and that you trust your phone manufacturer (and telco's) data privacy and security practices.

        I stopped going to the library to borrow books because the government would track my reading habits.

        I only pay cash for public transport as the QLD govt monitors GO cards (the data is sent straight to ASIO) - Even though I wouldn't register the GO card anyway, the Govt would use the CCTV "security" cameras -which have facial recognition- to track me the first time I use it. So a GO card registered or not is just a tracking device of my movements.

        I won't even drive now as all cars have GPS systems in them for "anti-theft" - LOL, yeah right. more tracking. and even if you think you have found the GPS, well it's usually a secondary (or third GPS) or a dummy to lul you into a sense of false security.

        and I can't cycle as my work as it is too far away - which is the fault of the Government for not having a work place near my house. so I'm forced to go to by public transport and forced to pay higher fees for paper tickets - which is a freedom tax. if you want to be untracked on public transport then you have to pay for it!!

        the only reason the internet exists is to track everything we do, say and buy. the CIA and the KGB both designed the Internet as far back as the 1930s in a joint alliance for global supremecy and totalitarianism. the plan, which is now in the final stages of fruition , is to make everyone dependent on the internet so everyones movements can be traced.

        Pol Pot and the Khmer Rouge saw it coming in the 60’s.

        Bill Gates has been on it from day one. why do you think DOS got picked up so readily?!? it's the easiest OS for government programmers - ney, HACKERS – to use to track, monitor and record all our movements.

        Steve Jobs started rebelling against this type of Technocracy and when he got too close to the truth they had him killed.

        I’m not afraid of typing this as I’m typing it from behind a firewall that has a VPN through North Korea with a proxy address from the Vatican City. No one screws with the Catholic church. Who do you think funds Anonymous?
