danmc64 on [Price Error] BRIXX Leg Press and Hack Squat Machine $124.27 Delivered @ Andala Pets & Rural via Bunnings Marketplace

I find this very hard to believe. Bunnings Marketplace processed the order, charged the payment provider(s) and issued an Order number.…

DooDah on [Price Error] BRIXX Leg Press and Hack Squat Machine $124.27 Delivered @ Andala Pets & Rural via Bunnings Marketplace

Well, they took the money, they're going to have to figure out a plan for refunding it. My guess is that they'll consolidate all these…

mkowarkski on NordVPN: 100% Cashback (New NordVPN Customers Only) @ TopCashback

Interesting to read this. Same experience here. I think NordVPN are a bunch of scammers, and this is a very deliberate act on their part.

mkowarkski on NordVPN: 100% Cashback (New NordVPN Customers Only) @ TopCashback

same here. It's a scam, NordVPN are likely "rejecting" 20-30% of the cashbacks automatically -- they come out ahead financially, boost…

Be very wary of this folks. I've been in a fight with NordVPN and Cashrewards for the last three weeks over a similar deal that wasn't…

TheOtherBigAl commented on Has Anyone Noticed Meta AI Messenger App Start to Ask Questions on Your Behalf without You Doing So?
100% this is a deliberate action from Meta to try to get you to engage / use the Meta AI. I specifically told the AI to disable, and a…

Hinee on Hyundai i30 CN7 Sedan Smartstream G2.0 Petrol IVT FWD $29,990 Driveaway @ Hyundai

Glad you like it. Had one a few years earlier than that, the ride & handling was attrocious. Perhaps it was improved.

TheOtherBigAl commented on Hyundai i30 CN7 Sedan Smartstream G2.0 Petrol IVT FWD $29,990 Driveaway @ Hyundai
No longer looks like an i30, but more like an Elantra. And that was the biggest piece of horseshit ever.

Nasser67 on Shokz Openrun Pro 2 Bone Conduction Sports Headphones - Black $259 or 44660 PTS + $10 Delivery @ Qantas Marketplace

I would say no. USB-C charging has replaced the external-contact system of the previous version. Plus, Bluetooth only - so unlike the Swim…

Definitely an improvement on the v1. How do I know ? Bought a pair for $50 more at 99bikes last week, FML.

Damnit.

If I was wanting to get into MS Flight Sim, is this a good bit of hardware? Or better to get a dedicated PC?

TheOtherBigAl commented on Loop Engage Plus Earplugs for Conversation - $34.95 ($30 off) Delivered @ Cellmate
Bought some of these last year. Honestly, they're hyped up, over-designed, earplugs. For better value (and performance, and comfort) grab…

Receiving SMS would require roaming to be enabled.

Zenskas on DAN Cases A4-SFX V4.1 ITX Computer Case (Black or Silver) $229 Delivered @ PC Case Gear

No argument about the option for a USB hub. Kinda defeats the purpose of having a nice case tho!

One USB-C port on the front? Not entirely practical.

BozoDubbedOver on Free Formula 1 Mercedes Autographed Driver Cards @ Mercedes-Benz F1 Store

0% chance these are genuine signed cards. The website says "printed driver autograph cards".

A counter-offer would be 15% above the other offer.

welikedeals on 50% off Monthly & Annual Web Hosting Plan: Free SSL, CDN & Daily Backups - Prices from US$2.99/Month @ Hyper Host

Not Aussie based. Datacentres in UK & USA according to their FAQ. So, those prices, probably USD.
