To get really close to a subject, you need a dedicated macro lens and this camera doesn't have that. From my tests, with the main camera,…

chris6507 on Limited-Edition Allen’s The Year of Lucky Snakes Alive 888g $2.99 (Was $5.99) @ Costco in-Store (Membership Required)

"Red" is for general good fortune/luck while "Yellow/Gold" is for wealth. While silver is the general currency used in ancient China, gold…

Try a different Web Browser.

If you have the space and can live without HDMI ARC, then the active speakers range from Edifier are better than any sound bar.

cheekymonkey97 on AMD Ryzen 7 5700X3D CPU US$137.68 (~A$212.21) Delivered @ cp u Store AliExpress

Since Aliexpress is a marketplace, it depends somewhat on the store that you buy it from. I am typing this reply from the PC powered by the…

ufoninja on 15.6" Portable IPS Monitor 1920x1080 ($119), Lenovo Tab M11 Tablet Bundle ($199) @ ALDI

At 1W power, you'll need to hang these speakers around your neck to fully utilize that Dolby Atmos.

whatisk on Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K $44.10, 4K Max $53.10 + Delivery ($0 C&C/ $65 Order) @ BIG W (Everyday Rewards Required)

icecold27 on Edifier R1280DBs $109, R1700BT $119 Delivered ($0 SYD/ADL/VIC C&C) + Surcharge @ Centre Com

To go down that route, you'll usually need an AV receiver of some sort with passive speakers. That could easily balloon out the cost to ten…

From what I have found, for 1440p @ 144Hz, you'll need at least DisplayPort 1.2. DisplayPort 1.2 was first introduced in 2010 which was a…

Catsfan070911 on 6 Wicked Wings + Regular Chips $5 (18/7 and 24/7) @ KFC via App (Pick-up Only)

Isn't the 'drive-thru' the same as 'in-store only'? It's either 'in-store' or 'delivery' and the 'drive-thru' is simply the lazier method…

Cousin IT on Motorola Moto G54 5G 8GB RAM/128GB Storage $188.74 Shipped @ Mobileciti via eBay

It's one tray with 2 slots: slot 1 for sim card and slot 2 for micro-SD card. Second sim is eSim only.

Max999 on [Perks] Kobo Libra Colour $305.10 + Delivery ($0 C&C/ in-Store) @ JB Hi-Fi

Bigger display with 2 physical buttons for page turning. For some, that's worth the price.

kaleidoscope on Breville The Barista Pro Coffee Machine (Stainless Steel) $798 + Delivery ($0 Uber Delivery/ C&C/ In-Store) @ The Good Guys

I prefer the Single Origin versions from Aldi. Columbia is the best, followed by Brazil.

WasBargain on Lenovo Tab M11 10.95" FHD 4GB RAM/64GB Storage with Case and Stylus Pen $199 @ ALDI Special Buys

Yes, it will play those games fine. I got the Lenovo m10 (from earlier Aldi deal) for my mum and it fine for those undemanding games.

Homerlovesbeer on LEGO 80113 Chinese Festivals New Years Family Reunion Celebration $137.65 Delivered @ Amazon JP via AU

The actual box stated "Spring Festival" and never mentioned China so one could say that it's targeted toward East Asia rather than being…

swiggity123 on [Perks] Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K (2nd Gen, 2023) $39 + Delivery ($0 C&C) @ JB Hi-Fi

Very easy to side-load apps into Fire Stick but I don't think it's possible to do that on Apple TV (as far as I know).

ju2au commented on [PS4] Two Point Campus Enrolment Edition $5 + Delivery ($0 C&C/ in-Store) @ JB Hi-Fi
Seems to have decent reviews. $5 is worth taking a punt even though I wasn't planning on purchasing anything today.

When I was traveling overseas last year, I used a cheap ($30) battery powered electric grinder from eBay (link below). It worked very well…
