PhilToinby replied to HassGTR on TP-Link Deco X55 AX3000 Whole Home Mesh Wi-Fi 6 System: 3-Pack - $328 Delivered @ Amazon AU
A lot more flexibility to add on an extra node with TP Link given how cheap and likely compatible other deco models are. Though I can see a…
PhilToinby replied to donkcat on TP-Link Deco X55 AX3000 Whole Home Mesh Wi-Fi 6 System: 3-Pack - $328 Delivered @ Amazon AU
Personally I'd get a mesh system. Any of the decos will likely be significantly better than you have now. If you try a single wifi 6…
PhilToinby replied to kickmiass on TP-Link Deco X55 AX3000 Whole Home Mesh Wi-Fi 6 System: 3-Pack - $328 Delivered @ Amazon AU
I'm no expert on this topic, but I've had 3 X Deco X20's running almost faultlessly for 2.5 years. Occasionally my phone takes a moment to…
PhilToinby commented on Arlo Pro 5 2K Wire-Free Spotlight Camera $109.99 + Delivery ($0 C&C/in-Store/OnePass) @ Bunnings Warehouse (Now in Store Only)
For me, Arlo just works. I've never tried Eufy, but I have run a Reolink and Arlo side by side and Arlo wins hands down. The rich…
A blu ray, just scroll down until you hit $10, or buy two -…
PhilToinby replied to tonyjzx on $4000 off GWM Ora Extended Range: $36,990 Driveaway (Was $40,990) @ GWM
If you don't use it for long distances, why carry around a heavier battery? A lighter weight car will usually be more efficient, and…
PhilToinby replied to Selenium on Police Squad: The Complete Series Blu-Ray [Region Free] $21.06 + Delivery ($0 with Prime/ $59 Spend) @ Amazon UK via AU
I can't believe there is a 4K version of The Naked Gun! I would have thought there would be minimal benefit going beyond DVD
PhilToinby commented on Assorted Vinyl Record Titles $19.99 (Nirvana, Dire Straits, Guns & Roses, Fleetwood Mac, The Police, Blondie + More) @ ALDI
You'll get better quality and a genuine recording from a $1 CD at an op shop... If you don't recognise the cover it's a bootleg
PhilToinby replied to Frankensnore on [Backorder] MSI Pro MP253 24.5" IPS 100Hz FHD Monitor $101 Delivered @ Amazon AU ($99 + Shipping / C&C + Fee @ 10 Other Stores)
If it has a vesa mount, then buy a stand and rotate at your whim
PhilToinby commented on Booking.com: Upsized 12% Cashback on Accomodation / Hotels (Was 5.5%) via Shopback
Booking.com has its place, but it is absolutely worth checking with the hotel directly via their website or their own rewards program. In…
PhilToinby replied to TerryJustTerry on Boost Mobile 365 Days $230 160GB Prepaid SIM $187 Delivered (Activate by 21/10 for 170GB) @ Lucky Mobile eBay
It depends where you are and what works in your area. Telstra has the best coverage in general, but it's not great everywhere! If I didn't…
PhilToinby commented on Anker Soundcore A20i Wireless Earbuds $29.59 + Delivery ($0 with Prime/ $59 Spend) @ AnkerDirect AU via Amazon AU
I have these. Sound and calls work well and can't complain about that. For me the issue is ergonomics. For my ears they just keep falling…

I have last years ThinkPad for work and the fingerprint scanner on that is completely rubbish. But I've found the Legion to be both…

I haven't used it for business, I just wanted a normal looking laptop as I find gaming laptops often look like they have been designed for…

I have had an issue with a HP 65W charger not charging at all, but a 65W Lenovo charger does work at a slow rate, which is weird given they…

I got this for a similar price, and agree that it's a well spec'd laptop for the price. Essentially looks and works like a business laptop…
PhilToinby replied to King Tightarse on MG ZS EV Excite MY23 - from $34,990 Driveaway (Was $43,693) @ MG Motor Dealers
I agree, but I wouldn't write of a car with a leaky sunroof. Like most parts of a car, a seal can be repaired/replaced and most likely…

Just supporting your argument: MG ZS EV = 1570 kg - https://www.carsguide.com.au/mg/zs-ev/car-dimensions/2024) Rangers and Hilux Ute's are…

Economics 101 will also tell you to look at the amount of money you could save on petrol over the 6-12 months you wait. Yes, cars will get…
PhilToinby replied to choofa on MG ZS EV Excite MY23 - from $34,990 Driveaway (Was $43,693) @ MG Motor Dealers
I'd say that's about right. I've been driving my own car for 20 years in Melbourne and have had 2 punctures. How much petrol have I wasted…
PhilToinby replied to Wiadro on Bambu Lab 3D Printers: A1 Mini $358.99, A1 $551.20 (Expired), P1S $955 Delivered & More @ Bambu Lab Technology via Amazon AU
Have a go at designing your own things, it's quite satisfying. Admittedly I have a background in 3D design and use Solidworks, but there…
PhilToinby replied to JIMB0 on 1.99% p.a. Interest Rate (3.57% p.a. CR) on Tesla Model 3 RWD and Long Range AWD @ Tesla
I drove a new Hybrid Camry recently. Couldn't believe how bad it was, reminded me of driving my '04 Falcon. Toyota have a lot of catching…
PhilToinby replied to shabaka on 1.99% p.a. Interest Rate (3.57% p.a. CR) on Tesla Model 3 RWD and Long Range AWD @ Tesla
Any new product from a new company needs a load of money spent on R&D and manufacturing setup. It's completely normal for new things to…

Great phone, and also a good to see a decent price without the need to trade anything in. Am also waiting for the comments "this isn't a…
If you're shopping for a PS4, better off getting the Pro. It might be old but has much better specs than the slim
