Pancakes are one of the easiest things that you can make at home so never understood paying for it.

How? The RRP of this in China is 100 RMB which is slightly over $20.

Brrrrt on Apple iPhone 15 Pro Max 512GB - Blue Titanium $1838 Delivered @ Amazon AU

Can’t really compare to the iPhone 8 (need to compare to X which was the flagship at the time) - iPhone prices were already quite out of…

I'm using a 4090 with my 5600X and it works fine at 1440p. Can probably get around 10% better frames with a CPU upgrade for most games…

Could Be Better commented on GIGABYTE AORUS GEN4 7000S Premium 2TB NVMe M.2 PCIE4 SSD GP-AG70S2TB-P-A $177 + Shipping @ Skycomp
Excellent value, you get an NVME SSD + CPU cooler on top!

Could Be Better commented on Alienware 32" 4K QD-OLED Gaming Monitor - AW3225QF $1,889.80 ($1751.51 via Student Purchase Program) Delivered @ Dell AU
Waiting for the flat G8 or the updated G9 from Samsung, disappointed they didn't specify a launch window

In case everyone's accounts get banned (probably), the lifetime subscription with unlimited languages is on sale right now for $199 USD,…

Could Be Better commented on Samsung 970 EVO Plus M.2 PCIe NVMe SSD 2TB $149.95 ($272.91 for 2) Delivered @ Amazon US via AU
Don't think it's that good of a price, the much faster 990 Pro was $173 just a few weeks ago. And that one can be used in a PS5 too.

Also for to new travellers going to Japan, regarding accommodation and dining: Accommodation - Booking.com is really good for Japan now,…

Could Be Better commented on Lonely Planet's Experience Japan $13.95 (RRP $34.99) + Delivery ($0 with Prime/ $59 Spend) @ Amazon AU
I feel like travel books are redundant for Japan - it’s probably one of the most written about destinations on the internet and there are…

Could Be Better commented on Logitech Studio Series Desk Mat in Mid Grey $19 + Delivery ($0 with Prime/ $59 Spend) @ Amazon AU
Wish it was a little bit larger, tried a friend's Steelseries XX-Large mousepad and I love how it covers almost the whole desk so your…

Could Be Better commented on Google Nest Mini (Chalk) $18 + Delivery ($0 C&C/ in-Store) @ Harvey Norman/Officeworks
Works very well just as a wireless chime for Nest Doorbell, that's really all I use it for

CrispyChrispy on [PC, Epic] Red Dead Redemption 2 $19.88 (with Epic Holiday Coupon) @ Epic Games

TLOU2 came out in 2020 and it’s already getting a remaster for next gen so it’s a fair question

Mi2 on LG 55" OLED EVO C3 4K UHD Smart TV (2023) $2020 + Delivery ($0 to Selected Cities/C&C/in-Store) @ Appliance Central

Hisense U8K is a pretty good option, great panel for not too much cash. Sony mini LEDs are great but they’re usually pricier than…

Mi2 on LG 55" OLED EVO C3 4K UHD Smart TV (2023) $2020 + Delivery ($0 to Selected Cities/C&C/in-Store) @ Appliance Central

I actually prefer decent mini LED panels to OLED, they get noticeably brighter and blooming hasn’t been a major problem. With OLED you…

Any deals on the 48” or does that sibling not get much love?

That's not how electronics work. As long as there is enough power being provided, the speaker cones will generate the same amplitude or…

You can probably snag one for around $1300 this Black Friday/Xmas. I have the 48" and it is way better than most OLED monitors out there in…

FireRunner on Samsung 27” 1080p M5 Monitor $148 (Click & Collect Only) @ Officeworks

I don't think 4K is overkill at 27". I can tell a clear difference between QHD from a normal viewing distance, especially for text.

Could Be Better commented on La Marzocco Linea Micra + Mazzer Mini Grinder + 12m Allpress Coffee Subscription $5,999 Delivered @ La Marzocco Home
For not much more you can buy a commercial La Marzocco machine, start a cafe and $$$

Could Be Better commented on Sony BRAVIA 4K 2023 TVs with Google TV: 85" X80L $2236, 85" X90L $3196, 65" A95L QD-OLED $4796 + Delivery ($0 C&C) @ JB Hi-Fi
Still way too expensive for full array LED, if it was the X95 (mini LED) it would make it a much better deal.

Crazy how the X100V is around the same price, that camera has been super popular lately

Waste of money for Asians like me

Could Be Better commented on Samsung 75" QN85B Neo QLED 4K Smart TV $1799.60 Delivered @ Samsung Edu/EPP
It's infuriating that Samsung TVs (even the flagship 2023 OLEDs) don't support Dolby Vision

The second part of your comment is correct; what you're referring to is lux, which is lumen/area. Lumens is the total light output emitted…
