xmagic on LiCB CR2032 3V Lithium Battery (10-Pack) $7.99 + Delivery ($0 with Prime/ $59 Spend) @ LiCB via Amazon AU

3.2V is terrible. Anko starts at 3.3V. SCA 3.35V.

Out of business... They're the 2nd largest car manufacturer after Toyota. Lay-offs and other cost saving measures are common in large…

I'll take your word for it. I can't watch at work. Watch the videos of it unable to drive forward on flat ground when its front wheels are…

Whoops. You're right. It's the Touareg that gets a better system. "The new third-generation Touareg is also equipped with permanently…

This is not true. The rear motor is only activated when needed, due to either front slip being detected, or a high level of power being…

Tiguan is also permanent AWD.

Only the Forester and Tiguan have permanent AWD and >200mm of ground clearance. The rest only engage the rear axle when front slip is…

Mortgagetightass on Samsung 85" Q60D QLED 4K Smart TV (2024) $1897 (RRP $3795) + Delivery ($0 C&C/ In-Store) @ JB Hi-Fi

Even the cheaper C655 is a better-quality panel than the Q60D.

alz on Kogan 86" QLED 4K Tizen Smart TV - T96Q $1285 ($1265 with Kogan FIRST) Delivered @ Kogan

It has a very narrow contrast ratio. We know peak brightness is 350 nits, so we can infer that the blacks are more like glowing greys. It…

"Contrast Ratio 1200:1" Yikes!!!

DEvok on TCL 75" C655 QLED 4K Google TV $899.99 Delivered @ Costco Online (Membership Required)

That's a bit of a meaningless statement. Samsung and Hisense both have terrible TV's as well as amazing TV's. For example, the C655 is a…

gankmeplz on nbn 100/40 $70/Month for 1st 6 Months, 250/25 $77/Month, 1000/50 $91/Month @ Neptune

Avoid if outside of Vic, as they only have a POP in Melbourne.

sasangeleus on TCL 50" C655 4K QLED Google TV (2024) $435 + Delivery ($0 to Selected Areas / C&C/ in-Store) @ Bing Lee

Only select models (55" and up). It's 2x 10W + 1x 15W. Smaller models get 2x 15W which is still decent, especially for the size. Same goes…

Discount + cashback still dearer than Pet Circle for select Royal Canin.

Little benefit? I have my Q970A behind my couch, out of site, and where it produces the best sound profile (no peaks or troughs across the…

That is 100% sRGB, which is about 72% NTSC. This is in-line with a standard desktop monitor or TV. And realistically this is all you need…
