@rrrrrrein let me put my accountants hat on. Say you paid $110 with $120 back in three months time, it'd be $110 less say @4%pa inflation…

We've had one for almost three years but the 1.5l Limited version, it's a brilliant car which is bigger on the inside than the outside…

Yeah I noted that even on our P&O Pacific Encounter cruise around the Pacific Islands last year, the company urged diners to dress…

Nah! Op shop's way cheaper.

about the same processor speed and same 8GB storage as the basic Firestick 4K. The Firestick 4K Max Ver2 is faster and has 16GB of storage.

Firestick 4K is about as slow as CWGTV but the Firestick Max 4K V2 is faster plus has 16GB storage versus 8GB.

Yeah as long as the petrol and time spent makes it worth it. Very few people in regional Australia are within a 30 min drive of a GG store.…

I'm not sure whether this particular device has an antenna port. If it doesn't you're just as well off with a green tick phone.

I once thought that but couldn't find where to plug the external antenna in. Some of us live at locations where we only get a bar or less…

A very sweet sounding A/V receiver even for music. I paid $900 for it and that was a bargain vs the normal ticketed price of $1250.

Also has a mouse arrow on the replacement remote, great for side-loaded apps requiring touch to control.

800 charge cycles from zero to 100%, which is never good for a lithium battery. If on the other hand you charge 20-90% you'd get 1200 or so…

I have a westpac card registered with Shopback, made numerous purchases but never do I see anything in my portal but the standard shopback.…

Don't on sell as such but all data does go into the data base in order to let people know who they share DNA with and how much. I've found…

More storage but firestick can only handle the standard codecs for storage.

California is also tax free :)

The two years should be $129.20. Cash back $124.22. I suspect your friend selected the other services offered which don't earn cashback.

Thanks 27 months for A$5 something - bargain :) I don't know if I were just lucky but the 2 year offer inc 3 free months apparently. Plus…

The NBN is the nations monopoly state run provider, is there any need to explain further?

sideloading apps? I'm told it's difficult plus not much choice either.

What do we call our parents who used to have all the houses and wealth before we did, boomer breeders?

Much better battery life than the S10+ from tests published online. Otherwise this is the A series of phones which are quite a bit lower…

@fitzy87 some people in regional areas don't have any wired broadband like friends of ours at Shute Harbour. The community's too small for…

This is Google TV, so if you have a Samsung smart TV or any other non android smart TV, then no you cannot access android apps, In case…

Yes unlike the firestick the Chromecast with Google TV has it's own volume adjuster, but you have to set it in the settings for the remote…

And with Chromecast you can replace the stock launcher.

I can't stand offers like this - promos for new customers to then jack the price up after a period of time. I say don't fall for it and get…

Yep some are a bit slow at recognising the covid panic's all but over. No doubt there will still be deaths of those unvaccinated and the…

There's technically no such thing as FX markets closing. Trading for forex is 24/7, but I get your drift all the same as clearly there's…

Thanks OP I hoped to find one at $39.95 or better as a spare.
