mandarinpj on [Refurb] Apple iPhone SE 2nd Gen (2020) 64GB $169, iPhone 12 64GB $399 Delivered @ Kmart

No. Buy a new mid range android phone for a similar price, it will take much better photos.

JPerez on [Prime] SanDisk High Endurance 256GB microSDXC Card $30.98 Delivered @ Amazon US via AU

a little, but the price on this is good enough that it doesn't really matter.

So the manufacturer knew the 3G network would be shut off and decided to ignore it... Honestly, that sucks for you as that's entirely on…

Iggemo on Long Expiry Prepaid Plans eSIM: "Ultimate 12" 365 Days 100GB $87.50, "Beauty 360" 360 Days 420GB $198 @ EzySim

I'm assuming it's stacking with 10% off gift cards, some Ultimate cards work with Kogan.

Sacatomic on [Used, Refurb] Apple iPhone 12: 64GB $399.20 ($389.22 eBay+), 128GB $439.20 ($428.22 eBay+) Delivered @ Green Gadgets eBay

Under $500 for "good" condition. If you like small phones, then yes that's a very good deal.

You're completely misunderstanding what this policy actually does. That $5k is a once off charge the manufacturer has to pay if you buy a…

Yeah but a same state restriction would be kinda fair at least, it stops people using a fake location but you can still use it…

aurumlover on Catch Connect 365-Day 60GB Prepaid Mobile Plan $99 ($89 with One Pass) Delivered @ Catch

Looks like that number is specifically for their "4G Plus" network, where 98.5% is for any mobile coverage (3G/4G).

aurumlover on Catch Connect 365-Day 60GB Prepaid Mobile Plan $99 ($89 with One Pass) Delivered @ Catch

Yes, I've used both in the past. They're the same. I don't know where you're getting 97% from because their website says 98.5% here:…

It will be the same, they both use the Optus 4G network.

pmt0912 on [VIC] Haier 8kg Heat Pump Dryer HDHP80A1 - $699 Delivered (MEL, Geelong, Mornington Peninsula Only) @ e&s

It takes double the time, but uses roughly 1/3 of the power *per load*.

Wiede on Apple iPad 9th Gen WiFi 64GB $447 + Delivery ($0 Metro/ C&C/ in-Store) @ Officeworks

Apple is still supporting the 6th gen iPad with an A10 chip. This has at least 3 years of software support left.

Fancydancer on Earn up to 5.10% p.a. on Combined Balance of up to $250,000 across All Save Accounts ($200+ Per Month Deposit Required) @ ubank

To be fair, depositing $200 once a month (and being able to withdraw it back anyway) is a pretty easy hoop to jump through. It's a bit…

Nillionaire on iPhone 11 64GB $479, 128GB $559 Delivered with a 28/90/365-Day Mobile Plan (from $30) @ amaysim

They offer 5G, but not on their cheaper long expiry plans. I would assume most people only spending $500 on a phone probably don't want to…

Fancydancer on iPhone 11 64GB $479, 128GB $559 Delivered with a 28/90/365-Day Mobile Plan (from $30) @ amaysim

I don't entirely disagree. Yes, it's a good deal on an iPhone 13, but these two phones are in entirely different price brackets.

dukeGR4 on iPhone 11 64GB $479, 128GB $559 Delivered with a 28/90/365-Day Mobile Plan (from $30) @ amaysim

They only have it on the more expensive month to month plans, not their 6/12 month long expiry plans.

It's a bit hard to argue a phone that costs twice as much is "much better value". Most cheaper mobile plans (including Amaysim) don't offer…

congo on Gigabyte RX 7900 XTX Gaming OC Video Card $1529.15 ($1499 with eBay Plus) Shipped @ Computer Alliance

It's 50% more cost for 35-40% more performance at 4K, depending on which review you look at. The performance gap is smaller at lower…

congo on Gigabyte RX 7900 XTX Gaming OC Video Card $1529.15 ($1499 with eBay Plus) Shipped @ Computer Alliance

This is still overpriced for a 7900 XTX, but a 3 year old card that runs 30% slower while using more power really isn't better value.

Does this monitor have BFI/strobing?

It'll be okay, sensor isn't super accurate but it's good enough for most uses. If you need something more accurate, this is better:…

rian354252 on Dell Ultrawide 34 Curved Gaming Monitor – S3422DWG $584 Delivered @ Dell

Nope, it's a bandwidth limitation. Only allows for 100Hz @ 3440x1440 over HDMI 2.0. HDMI can do 144Hz on non-ultrawide 1440p, though.

The non-G model isn't as good, it has slower response times and is only 100 vs 144Hz. Still fine for productivity, noticeably worse for…

greatlamp on G.Skill Aegis 32GB (2x16GB) 3200MHz CL16 Red DDR4 Desktop RAM Memory Kit $179 + Delivery + Surcharge @ Shopping Express

3600MHz will still have more bandwidth. Latency will be better on the 3200MHz kit though, those timings do suck.

lamaksstalk on Xiaomi Curved Gaming Monitor 34" 144Hz WQHD 3440*1440 US$400.07 (~A$532.68) Delivered @ Banggood

$549. It's worth the extra, significantly better monitor than this one.
