Anyone have the S2721QS and notice terrible backlighting? Bought two for work, and the corners are really dark (and especially the left and...

SupeNintendoChalmers on LG Neochef 42L Microwave Black MS4236DB $215 Delivered @ Myer

I've only noticed this when I'm close to the microwave (<2m) and on a stone-age 2.4GHz network. Similar issue with bluetooth headphones.

Always recommend the Osram Night Breaker 150's - great performance, not too yellow and last a reasonable amount of time. Can get them for...

JL1 on Bowden's Own Products on Clearance - Snow Job 1L $19, 2L $31, Leather Love 500ml $11 + Delivery ($0 C&C) @ Repco

Hard to say - not really an expert sorry :(. When I bought my current car, I clay-barred it then applied the spray on ceramic coating. Then...

JL1 on Bowden's Own Products on Clearance - Snow Job 1L $19, 2L $31, Leather Love 500ml $11 + Delivery ($0 C&C) @ Repco

Yeah, I usually just stick to these (rather than heavy duty), as I do a normal wash afterwards and I’d rather not have to reapply the...

JL1 on Bowden's Own Products on Clearance - Snow Job 1L $19, 2L $31, Leather Love 500ml $11 + Delivery ($0 C&C) @ Repco

The eclipse foams up better, but I find the Snow Job removes/‘loosens’ more dirt from my experience.

Mk7 GTI with ~60,000km, and service myself every ~6,000km (3 times per year). Tuned and running an ethanol mix which can tend to dilute the...

Reasonably happy with my hush puppies work shoes for the price (~$50-100). Previous pair lasted over a year, with 3km+ of walking per day.

Tomacco on Bridgestone Potenza Adrenalin RE003 Tyres: Buy 3 Get 4th Free @ Bridgestone / Bob Jane / Jax

Serenity is much quieter from my experience, and I also found them to perform better in the wet. RE003 wins hands down for dry...

JoeRogan on Logitech MX Keys Wireless Illuminated Keyboard for Mac $139 (Was $229.95) Delivered @ Amazon AU / + Delivery @ Bing Lee on Catch

Jimothy Wongingtons on Logitech MX Keys Wireless Illuminated Keyboard $151.20 Delivered @ digiDIRECT via eBay

Same issue with one of mine (purchased last week). Firmware has been updated to the latest.

Performance is good (in the dry - average in the wet), but they are quite loud in comparison to a standard/comfort tyre like the...

I’m used to the indicators, but I’ll still occasionally hit the wipers instead of the high beam…

They have reasonable grip - the tread is very deep (e.g. in comparison to the RE003’s), so you’re not trading off too much grip for...

HD9990 on 20% off Selected Items: Logitech MX Keys $148 + Delivery ($0 with $200 Spend) @ Wireless 1 (Free Account Required)

Much quieter and less fatiguing if you’re doing a lot of typing IMO (shorter stroke). By far the best number-pad I’ve ever used - the...

Could Be Better on Logitech MX Keys $147.40 + Delivery (Free Delivery if Spending $200+) @ Wireless1

My right shift did this for the first couple of days, but nothing since (3 months later).

A manual Fiesta ('09 onwards) would be up in my list and worth a test drive. Great chassis, great steering and a lot of fun to drive...
