Different courses, as HSC is the NSW course. While there's some overlap, using this bank will definitely cause confusion for a VCE student…

Maybe. Latency is going to be even more obvious in VR than anything else. If they can get it right, it could be a game changer, but that's…

Different use case. GTX cards would usually use more power, generate more heat and take up more space if they're not doing anything…

Run? Yes. Well? No. Crysis 1 will do 720p at 30 fps on Low.

Generated frames will be felt *more* by the player than an observer, because they will have poor latency. Plus it will always introduce…

Yeah, even for a strict productivity mouse, 125 Hz gives you a mushy laggy cursor even in Desktop situations. Crazy in 2024/2025.

https://www.protondb.com/app/1547000 45 fps according to comments. (seems pretty low tbh). Need to launch in Desktop mode the first time to…

Reviews say Blues. Kinda odd for them to go with something so divisive by default.

I have one of these that's a few years old. With heart rate and sleep monitoring on I reckon mine lasts 5-7 days? Charges stupidly quick.…

Using the LS1008G at home for almost 18 months and it has been great (I know these are pretty simple). The metal build quality for $20 is…

Great game. Artstyle has aged well and gameplay is very reminiscent of Zelda from the Ocarina through Skyward Sword era. Runs well on…

These are great. Stable and wheels work super well, even on carpet.

While you're probably joking, worth mentioning how terrible these quick loan companies are: "The annual variable interest rate for new…

GST does seem to be calculated without any special discounts eg. Vouchers or new user. But not 10% of the hyperinflated fake RRPs many…

This model sounds and feels pretty bad. The case is awful and pingy, the switches are dry and scratchy and the keycaps are (subjectively)…

Just keep in mind these are meant to be desktop studio monitors. They are designed to be used up close and to have a flat sound profile.…

These are the US model, so that's why they mention Norelco. The local model is purely Philips, but is currently $20 more, so not in the…

Good for travelling overseas. Don't need an adapter or frankly even the wall plug if you just borrow from your phone.

$1099 via Samsung AU for the 128GB (and 1199 for 256GB).

It takes about 5 mins to work for me. I realise experiences may vary but a few weeks sounds like a stretch.

Yeah, lots of people have these from Aliexpress (myself included) and I haven't heard of any issues. Plus, failure rates for these CPUs are…

Yep, there's a compromise for every option. S23 - older model, shorter support, slightly weaker screen. S24 Exy - worse reception and…

Some people would actually prefer the S23 CPU over the S24 CPU, since they went Snapdragon 8G2 to Exynos 2400.

You will pay so much more for a 5800X3D for a relatively minimal gain. 5800X3D on Aliexpress just doesn't go nearly as low as this despite…

I am currently using a CPU from this seller (also upgraded from 3600). For what I am playing most of the time (FFXIV) it's a massive…

3070 at 1440p. Improvement depends on the game. FFXIV got a 50% boost in crowded areas. FH5 got basically nothing. Most games are somewhere…

Depends on your GPU and main games, but it was a huge upgrade for me. For $240 it's such good value. Sure AM5 has a great upgrade path, but…

Can I ask why people would anyone get this to use docked full-time? Surely a laptop or even SFF desktop would be better value?

You will notice a difference, but how much depends on your use case. I have a 3070 driving 1440p and went 3600->5700X3D. Stuff like Final…

This. In most cases, the gap between the 5700X3D and the 5600X is as big as the gap between the 3600 and 5600X. If you're CPU bound, it's…
