verio replied to Scrooge McDeal on 1 Month Free Apple TV+ (For New and Eligible Returning Subscribers Only, Payment Card Verification Required) @ Apple

That’s what people used to say 2-3 years ago. 5G will destroy NBN! Did it though?

100%. It is a stupid practice that the government should stop.

verio commented on [QLD] Solar Battery Rebate Scheme - $4000 Rebate if Highest Income <$66,667, $3000 Rebate if Combined Income <$180,000 @ QLD Gov
I am surprised that nobody has mentioned how small the program is. 2,000 installations is absolutely nothing.

verio commented on Bosch Advanced Aquatak 140 Pressure Washer Cleaner $357 Delivered @ Amazon AU
Hmmm… Aquatak 135 is $230 while this one is $357. 1958 psi vs 2030. Does it make sense to pay $120 extra just for a very small increase…

Not arguing about the difference between TVs but I would like to clarify that QD-OLED panels for A95K and A95L are made by Samsung, not LG.
