Well built until a key comes loose.

Anyone with an "S" version who previously had the OG model? ALL my OG models had a backlight issue where the backlight comes on and goes…

I agree 100%. They should have just allowed the phones to continue to be used, they'd have gotten replaced naturally over the next few…

I guess so. But does it really matter? They're an Aussie company trading in Australia so they have to follow ACCC rules. The grey market is…

Got it from Kogan (not a third-party seller). Price was better than Xiaomitech and Xiaomitech don't make it clear which model you're…

I bought an F6 and I've had it a bit over a week now. It connected to Optus with no issues (after my F3 got blocked). It's TAC validates OK…

My F3 got blocked this morning.

Try sticking in any random 8 digits - it will almost certainly pass. Someone else mentioned that it looks up the number on a blacklist, so…

Just enter any random 8 digits into that page and you'll nearly always get a pass. e.g. 12345678 87654321 11111111 55555555

No. It's because the stupid government is forcing them to block phones they *think* can't contact E000.

Government overreach strikes again. I really don't care if my phone can connect to emergency services or not.

Not that small but Pixel A series (like 8A) are small. Or there's [this tiny…

On an Aussie bought Neo? That's good to know.

I refuse to believe than my 4G VoLTE capable phone will stop working until it actually stops working.

But, according to Optus my phone (which has 4G VoLTE and 5G) will stop working next week and I need to get a new device to stay connected.…

I was also looking at this phone. But another negative is that it doesn't do any of the Apt-X bluetooth codec (as far as I can tell).

I bought one of these to use with my DeWalt power drill. But according to the packaging it's "To be used with impact driver only". Anyone…

But this thread voted Pixel 8 best in the $500-$800 range. Seems incorrect if it's actually $1000. I'm not actually looking at a Pixel 8…

Good luck with your health if you're a woman in Texas.

OK, where can I get a Pixel 8 for less than $800? As far as I can tell they're well over 1K.

Thanks for this. And just before I ordered I remembered I had an outstanding Prezzee gift card so I swapped it for a Bing Lee card.

2Gbps NBN apparently coming next year, so we'll need 2.5GbE switches.

I'm still running a 1080 Ti and checking comparison sites, a 3060 would be a downgrade. I need to go at least 40 series for it to be even…

I was planning on keeping my current phone at least a couple more years, but Optus keep telling me it won't work after the 3G shut down…

Wheel support appears to be severely lacking - there's virtually no force feedback at all. I've had to resort to using a gamepad.

The best flavour is the Pineapple Sweet & Sour ones from Daiso.

You should be able to just pay the $120 renewal and keep that going. I did that in Feb and I think the plan had already been removed at…

Doing some necro to post this: https://www.reddit.com/r/interesting/comments/1evsur1/enemy_blinder_3000/

No, sir, those are the Luredlu you've heard so much about.

So, is that $40 a month ongoing? Seems like a terrible deal unless people use it for one month and then churn.
