From that same thread, some entirely different measurements:…

It may be individual variation between units too. These headphones have been around for years. Over the years, there have been on-again,…

I've noticed a somewhat metallic timbre in the upper treble regions, but distortion seems fine to me. Doing some Googling just now, I can…

There are better headphones out there, but I challenge anyone to find a headphone that even remotely competes in terms of quality, price,…

PDFs can be sent to the device, but A4 PDFs can be a bit small. When I used a Kindle for A4 documents, I ended up writing a Python script…

It’s already been released in some markets. It has less contrast and some users have experienced persistent colour banding. Unless you…

There’s a Diablo mobile? Sounds terrible.

Yes, but we also have large monitors and decent gaming PCs that will make the game much more enjoyable and easier to control. Playing a…

Agree. I had a metal one that lasted me 10 years. It only got replaced because phones grew so large its clamps couldn't be extended far…

Honestly, the sealant is unlikely to bond well to the wax, so it's probably better to apply it before waxing, then wax over the top. But if…

Water won't bead the same as before (it just kind of sits on the paintwork), and the paint won't feel as "slick" after a wash. You mention…

Something seems iffy about this. This translation was originally published by Random House (their Modern Library imprint, with an ISBN of…

Wax won't come off after one wash. You just need to re-add it when it's worn-off (and how long that takes depends on many factors).

It's listed on the FAQ on the website (down the bottom): https://www.meguiars.com.au/product/gold-class-car-wash-shampoo-conditioner-1-9-l/…

If you only want to use one product, then a "wash and wax" will do the job fine. The wax content in those products is minimal, but it's…

I really like this car wash in conjunction with a ceramic coat. It's pH-neutral, doesn't include any waxes that make top-up ceramic coats…

Basic risk analysis would disagree. When investing in an asset, all risks must be assessed against the probability of their occurrence…

So when this is the case, why buy a Chinese car, and run the risk of being stranded without support if Xi decides to invade Taiwan (not an…

I similarly pronounce it with an “er” kind of vowel sound, but with an almost-absent vowel, New Zealand style. Australian pronunciation…

I must have missed the memo that being normal was a bad thing. I’ve been trying to be normal my whole life and failing catastrophically.…

This is a $60k car. You can get a perfectly good vehicle for roughly half that amount (if price is so much of a concern and you need to pay…

If you used the whole bottle, you must have applied it wrong. There's no way to do that if using it correctly (unless your car is a monster…

It's probably much more than half a bottle. It's hard to judge due to the shape!

This isn't crystalline silica. I've not heard of any issues with ceramic coatings. SiO2 comes in many forms, and is used as an anti-caking…

It's best to use a pH-neutral wash (and not a wash and wax, which will make future coats harder). A pH-neutral wash won't affect the…

It replaces wax. It's actually really good, but it takes a bit of effort. You need to do proper prep before applying this. If you have…

I did two coats and still have half a bottle left. You only use two or three sprays per panel.

Yeah, they advertise you can use it everywhere, but it's really not great for windows.

The real risks would be geopolitical instability, US-style restrictions on security grounds, or some form of sanctions (e.g. due to…

The changes to Section 25 of the Australian Consumer Law in November 2023 imposed significant penalties for “unfair contract terms”.…
