ATTS on Amazon Basics 8-Pack Rechargeable AAA 800mAh NiMH Batteries $10.90 (RRP $14.90) + Del ($0 with Prime/ $59 Spend) @ Amazon AU

Not 100% but I know that leaving discharged batteries in a device can cause leakage but I've seen batteries leak still in the packet as…

ATTS on Amazon Basics 8-Pack Rechargeable AAA 800mAh NiMH Batteries $10.90 (RRP $14.90) + Del ($0 with Prime/ $59 Spend) @ Amazon AU

I'm replacing all my remote batteries to avoid leakage. Rather charge the battery once a year than deal with leaks.

You'd like to think that but in reality, security is seen as a cost center and rarely gets invested in. I wouldn't believe that any company…

xiaoli on Sony WH-1000XM4 Wireless Noise Cancelling Headphones $295.80 + Delivery ($0 C&C) @ Harvey Norman (Online Only)

Same here. Even once equalizing them, they always sound overly bassy and muddy. I love the quality of the ANC but the audio quality is…

The Momentum also has Aptx which is important if you want to use a Bluetooth adapter on a plane, etc. Also, and I know it's subjective, but…

Yep. XM5 also had lots of reports of the hinge breaking early due to poor design. On Reddit, lots of users are complaining and then say…

raperozbargain on Sony WH-1000XM6 Wireless Noise Cancelling Headphones $550.80 + Delivery ($0 C&C) @ Harvey Norman (Online Only)

Agree. The XM4's are pretty solid (apart from their bass-heavy sound signature which I found incredibly disappointing even after…

Should be able to source replacement parts online if you can do a little soldering.

bargaineer12345 on X6 High-Speed Turbo Fan US$23.08/A$35.87 Delivered @ Banggood

I've got one of these and it's pretty impressive - seems to be a generic design that's on a lot of these sites. That said, it won't compare…

yht on Dreame D10s Robot Vacuum Cleaner and Mop $199.99 Delivered @ Dreame Official AU via Amazon AU

Had one for 4 years and still going strong. Mopping is a bit meh but does a good job overall.

EnALup on AMD Ryzen 7 5700X CPU US$69.12 (~A$106.68) Delivered @ TaiYuan Store AliExpress

Yep, can use as its the same mount. Works fine - just disable PBO in the BIOS if you can't stand the fans ramping up.

EnALup on AMD Ryzen 7 5700X CPU US$69.12 (~A$106.68) Delivered @ TaiYuan Store AliExpress

Nah, default cooler was fine (as it was on my 2700x) - main issue is that PBO causes the CPU temps to spike occasionally resulting in the…

EnALup on AMD Ryzen 7 5700X CPU US$69.12 (~A$106.68) Delivered @ TaiYuan Store AliExpress

Definitely a great upgrade. I did it and got a noticable uplift in performance plus it runs cooler (that said I did get a better cooler…

Yep, Japan uses a 2 prong plug the same as the US.

I've got two of the 67W Zyron chargers and they've been good so far (I haven't heard of any issues with the 67W version). I did have an…

dpoon73 on Motorola Moto Tag 4 Pack $134 (Was $179) + Delivery ($0 in Store/C&C) @ Harvey Norman

I paid $164 when they were the only option available at the start of the year and kind of share the same sentiments - but it's largely due…

zacsg1 on [eBay Plus] DJI Osmo 360 Adventure Combo $919 Delivered @ digiDirect Store (eBay)

It's more to do with the shutter speed used whilst capturing, not the framerate of the footage itself. i.e. I set my shutter speed to…

nikoris on Logitech MX Master 3S Wireless Mouse $108 Delivered (Excludes NT & WA Regional) @ Logitechshop via eBay

It's not a $10 mouse - I'd say 5 years is ok for a premium mouse. But good quality switches are rated for 10+ years of use (which Logitech…

nikoris on Logitech MX Master 3S Wireless Mouse $108 Delivered (Excludes NT & WA Regional) @ Logitechshop via eBay

Prior to my MX Master 2/3, I'd never had a mouse fail so the fact a $100+ mouse couldn't last 3-4 years is pretty bad.

marshmall0w2 on [eBay Plus] Soundcore Liberty 4 Pro $173.90 Delivered, Soundcore Liberty 5 $139 Delivered @ Kiwi Teck via eBay

Their sound signature is what put me off. I found the 4's way too bassy. Nice app though.
