Something worth noting, the Kobo store price matches. So effectively, whenever Kindle has a sale (e.g. daily deals) they'll give you credit…

Somewhere, deep underground, a single tear rolls down Alan Moore's cheek. Which he captures in a jar and adds to The Vault.

Oh, I hadn't thought of the Chargeback option! Good call. Started going through ACCC, but that was a bit of a bust.

I can't wait to join the eventual class action suit against Shopback and Cashrewards. I've never had a problem with BWS (and ordered many…

Clearly you are not the only person in the group of five that will be bitten three times while the mosquitoes ignore everyone else.

I have one of these devices and I find it fairly mild to use - certainly not 'severe', more like a half second pinprick of heat. I guess…

Only someone who doesn't have a body chemistry mosquitoes find irresistible would say this. I'm jealous.

Buying direct from UK Rarewaves is my usual go-to. Same region as Australia for Blu-Rays (Blu-Ray is B, 4K is region free), super cheap…

The trajectory of the physical media market makes me sad. Blu-rays should be less than $10. Multi-packs should be no more than $6-7 per…

Spot.

Not necessarily. A few years ago when I bought a bed at a mattress store this was around $70 for one (sure I probably paid a premium, but I…

I bought the 14" last deal, but it hasn't arrived yet - 2 week turnaround from Hong Kong, which is slightly disappointing. Attempted…

Very frustrating - I played a match on Xbox (comes with sub) and it's just annoying enough to not make it worthwhile. Little things like…

Very well said. This post has unloaded the ugliest comments I've ever seen here, and is so wildly off-purpose. The numbers stink and the…

One of the most tiresome reply guys on page 1 had never heard of Home and Away.

In this analogy the modern fascists would be the ones continuing the Nazi persecution of trans and other queer people, yes?

"Homophobia" and its offshoots aren't about fear of gay individuals - it's the fear of the acceptance and normalisation of LGBTQ+ people,…

Doesn't really feel organic at all when some of the most universally celebrated bargains max out at 300-400 upvotes. "Have National…

You can't neg vote without commenting first. I suspect that's skewing numbers.

I have a 32TB NAS with several hundred blu-rays ripped to it, uncompressed. It's almost full, so I'll need to upgrade another 8TB to an…

Literally one of three films I examined in my Honours thesis for its dream-logic narrative structure. Love it. Still don't get it.…

They've got multiple formats (including HTML so you can read direct in the browser), but the easiest one for my money (i.e. free) is the…

It's actually in the public domain in Australia (though not in other parts of the world due to slight variations in laws.) Can also get…

My thoughts as well. Anything 'single use' or disposable requires orders of magnitude more water and energy to produce and distribute. Of…

(For the record I don't agree with David Simon - DVD compression played on a large format TV is probably more degraded from the original…

I didn't remember that part! Honestly so cool that you can just, like... find the creator of what is regarded as one of the best shows of…

This is one of those classic "DVD vs Blu-Ray" questions that's not about resolution per se. The show was made and screened at 4:3. They…

Yep. The downside is there are a whole bunch of Australian apps not on the UK app store (like banks and some food/delivery ones) if you're…

Possibly. I was living in the UK at the time and never switched it back when I returned, but I'm pretty sure I've set up a separate…

Yeah, I buy a lot of eBooks - with my location set to the UK because the store has significantly more sales. I've got a gold membership…
