Review in Amiga Power looks good. I'll have to check it out once I'm done with Mega-Lo-Mania.

No fixed broadband? How do they connect up their consoles, NAS and and servers? It’s like not having electricity or running water.

We have two pop-ups. One is a K-Mart one we bought 20 years ago, so it's probably hard to find now. It's still going strong, and the…

We tried one of these, and went back to pop-up beach tents. These cabanas provide surprisingly little shade for the footprint and bulk. The…

If I had time, I'd raise this issue with the ACCC. "New" has a meaning, and "customer return" isn't it. I guess they're bargaining on…

It was always a case of what will be done first - Squadron 42 or Half Life 3. Looks like the latter.

Agree. Look at what Tie Fighter Total Conversion did for that game. Something similar for Wing Commander would be amazing.

It’s a bit ridiculous, but there are at least MagSafe cases available to fix the issue. Personally, I don’t use wireless charging (the…

It will totally give you bad habits if you don’t have actual lessons or prioritise it over proper practice sessions. It’s best combined…

Switch physical releases of indie games like this generally have small production runs and are priced as "collector's items" for fans. They…

The sensors all come from Sony or Samsung. New sensors are only released every few years. Anyone with a "48MP sensor" in a phone is almost…

I don’t know of any phone camera sensors at that megapixel scale that don’t use quad Bayer. The sudden jump from 12MP to 30MP+ in phone…

Most of the “48MP” cameras use a quad Bayer sensor, which slaps the CFA from a 12MP camera onto a higher-res CMOS sensor. You’re…

Well, the iPhone 16 list price is precisely $400 more. Sure, you can get $150-200 of that on sale, but we'll almost certainly similar…

Toyoya Camry? Do I look like I'm made of money?

The timing was atrocious for the 12 and 13 mini. The original SE was getting on in age in by 2020, and many people were still rocking…

It looks nice, but I'm waiting for it to leave Early Access. Better to wait until the game is finished before purchasing.

Nobody knows until Apple launches it, but that's what the rumour mill is saying:…

If you use fragrances a lot, you become desensitised to them over time. My wife insists her perfume has less fragrance than before and that…

I'm going to wait for an expansion or two this time around. I ended up spending over $200 on Civ VI and its expansions/DLC. It didn't…

Great gameplay, but with really grating, insufferable characters and an overly-simplistic “message”. Despite loving the gameplay, my…

Plenty of DLC for this one, from blitz chess (for the speedrunners) to Casablanca chess (for those who hate memorising opening books).

It's personal preference, but I'd step up to QHD at 27". I had a FHD 27" monitor at work, and I found the large pixel size was distracting…

I don't think that's easier. I just put them on the flat-bed scanner, press "Bill" on the touchscreen, then they go into the bills folder…

I just use power-line ethernet for hard-to-reach places (that don't have wired LAN). It works well enough for me, and is certainly easier…

You’re best to go to professional review sites. The reality is that MFCs usually last a decade or more. Nobody is going to have genuine…

I scan every bill and receipt, then bin the originals. I use the scanner at least a few times per week.

Does it have a LAN port? Just plug it into your router or a switch. I avoid WiFi on printers at all costs. Every time I’ve used it, with…

For best results, you need to get the car down to the clear coat. That’s what the ceramic coating is designed to bond to. Wax will need…

Audio gear lasts many decades (if you buy the right stuff), so I definitely have use for a spare optic fibre cable!
