That’s what I was thinking. At that point may as well just go for integrated graphics only.

Would've been whenever the iPhone 12 came out and Telstra gave my father a free 5G trial on his prepaid sim... I've always been on 4G but…

The question is what speed you're getting!
which ROG did you look at? I was going to suggest at the $3k mark you could get a 2024 ASUS ROG Zephyrus G14 with a 4050 which currently is…

Really? Must be a recent thing as I thought Telstra wasn't capped before when I bought my MIL a prepaid sim and speedtested her phone.…

Only thing which tempts me is Optus 5G is ridiculously fast in my area (1.6Gbps+) relative to Telstra and Vodafone's 5G... but... Optus.…

Glad to hear. He’s a good guy! I appreciated him coming out to measure and quote and then do everything needed to install it etc.

I’m in same boat. My default phone to carry is still my iPhone 14 Pro Max but if carrying two then I’ll bring my Fold 5. I treat my…

IMO trade it in when there’s huge Samsung trade in bonuses typically at launch of the new product and posted all over OzB!

Not counting my own Fold 5 and wife’s Flip 5, I see a handful a day of both in the wild here in Sydney. When I was on holiday in…
jace88 replied to Harsh Deep on Silicon Power 1TB microSDXC UHS-I Micro SD Card with Adapter, C10 U3 V30 A2 $101.14 Delivered @ Silicon Power via Amazon AU
Maybe they build/design their cards to do well in CDM benchmarks but struggle in real world use cases... it was incredibly frustrating…

Probably good pricing for May 2024 but I'm surprised that the pricing isn't better than some of the deals on both of these phones earlier…
jace88 commented on Silicon Power 1TB microSDXC UHS-I Micro SD Card with Adapter, C10 U3 V30 A2 $101.14 Delivered @ Silicon Power via Amazon AU
I bought one of these and returned it. Used it in my gaming laptop and it benched well in CDM but it seemed to run out of cache quickly…
Manual explicitly says not to even when not in use… my wife felt the need to point this out to me lol
jace88 replied to ironworthy on 9 Chicken Pieces, 2 Regular Chips & Regular Gravy $14.95 @ KFC (Online/App Required)
If you complain they'll usually give you a replacement. I've had a few missteps in the last year or so with KFC either burning the chicken…
jace88 replied to CodeXD on 9 Chicken Pieces, 2 Regular Chips & Regular Gravy $14.95 @ KFC (Online/App Required)
Worked well for me since I finished the chips but could bring one of the gravy home for later.
jace88 commented on 9 Chicken Pieces, 2 Regular Chips & Regular Gravy $14.95 @ KFC (Online/App Required)
I ordered this today and oddly received just one large chips (which apparently is the same as two small) but two small gravy. I didn't even…

Looking at eBay today there's a couple which are auctions and are both bid up to circa $20. One even has the HN price tag on the photo.
jace88 replied to totalgadget on Recycle a 3G Phone with Asurion in-Store at Harvey Norman, Get a Free Nokia 110 4G Phone @ Harvey Norman
I got the confirmation email from Asurion that they'll be releasing the security charge today since they received my old Asus phone. Given…
Tried it recently and it was "okay". I suppose it's suitable for those who can't eat bacon? That being said, I still prefer the classics of…

I still don’t understand what “route” you’re referring to? The one where you agreed to trade in a phone for a dollar? Good luck…
I was choosing between AF500 and AG551. Ultimately the thing which turned me off the grill model is no handle to toss chips which is a…
So far we are enjoying the new air fryer but anecdotally it feels like cooking times need to be slightly longer than in the Philips. The…

I looked into the Lite 2 a lot but given my use case is with PC, it sounded like the Lite 2 had some latency issues when paired with PC.…

This deal is so tempting but after realising I really did need the analogue sticks in the smallest/most portable form factor (to slide into…

Doesn't help that the Amazon listing calls it "DUHD" but the specs indicate DQHD.
