Kontiki replied to stevelo on Chery Tiggo 4 Hybrid - $29,990 Driveaway @ Chery
BYD, Chery and Geely, according to Google AI. Also worth noting that Geely own Volvo, so they are no small player.

Yeah they are like the Apple of the gaming industry. Rarely sales and bargains. 65 dollars for Skyrim? Sure why not! Having said that, I…

Ouch. 2005 was Wii territory I believe. I do fondly remember my first NES… Like tears, in rain.

Kontiki commented on Starlink Standard Satellite Internet Kit $349 (Regional Areas Only, Residential Plans from $99) + $34 Delivery @ Starlink
I don’t understand why people in metro and suburban areas would want Starlink anyway. You are usually better and cheaper off with FTTP/C…

Kontiki commented on How to Save Some Money on Apple Products? (Negotiation Strategy Suggestions)
Apple products are notoriously hard to bargain. In most electronics stores you can ask ‘is that the best price?’ And they might take…

Kontiki commented on Kindle 11th Generation 2024 $167 (Paperwhite $239, Paperwhite Signature $259) + Del ($0 to Metro/ C&C/ in-Store) @ Officeworks
Good to see that the standard Kindle now has 300ppi as well. It used to be only 150ppi and you needed a Paperwhite for 300ppi resolution.

Kontiki commented on Apple Mac Mini M4 from $815.10 Delivered @ Apple On Campus (e.g. Australian Education Union)
As always, idiotic price intervals between disc space options. 256GB extra? That will be $300 Sir! Of course this will be super special…

Shame that Dolby has sold out their brand. It used to mean something when tech was labeled ‘Dolby Surround’ or ‘Dolby Digital’.…

Kontiki commented on [Pre Order] Panasonic LUMIX S9 6K Compact Full Frame Camera Bonus 26mm Lens & 5-Year Warranty $2499 Delivered @ JB Hi-Fi
The price is just too close to the S5 II, IMO. An F/8, manual lens is also not very enticing.

Kontiki replied to garage sale on Tesla Model 3 LR $72,700 Delivered (Was $73,700) + On-Road Cost @ Tesla
Not even remotely the same experience as CarPlay/Android Auto. There is more than audio.

Video editing. Having said that, I spent $1000 on my PC 4 years ago and that is still doing a fine job with Photoshop, 4K editing and games.

Kontiki commented on Instax Fujifilm SQ1 Instant Camera (Chalk White) $95 Delivered @ Amazon AU
The squares are fun, and pretty decent quality. We have a Zink printer as well, but sink’s print quality is much poorer.

Trailer looked amazing but reviews are poor. Will still watch it considering they shot this with a relatively simple camera, inspiring.

‘Max speed’ doesn’t mean anything, we’d need to see numbers to compare.

Kontiki replied to crazyperpman on Fossil Gen 6 Smartwatch Gunmetal Stainless Steel $158.70 Delivered @ Fossil.com
I had a Gen 4 watch and was surprised by the solid build quality. It was very slow though. I heard Gen 5 and 6 are faster.

It will handle it but I wouldn’t use this tab for professional use. Lag & business don’t go well together.

I’ve always wanted a dog crap, for $46 I might give one a go. Appreciate it won’t be pure-bred.

Darn, I just got the Mediatek version a few weeks ago for similar price… would have much preferred a snapdragon.
