Were you told about that any stage? Telstra is vulnerable here because the CIS disclosure with its "up to" wording for the termination fee…

You receive a JB Hi-Fi eGift against the value of the item you trade in. This means if you're purchasing the Pixel 10 Pro XL 256GB, the…

You do, but the 1.4k voucher amount is high enough that some people with recent models will clear the price gap and end up with an…

I suspect people going down the trade in route are doing so because the value of their device is high enough that the plan doesn't provide…

spaceflight on nbn 25/10 $55/Month, nbn 500/50 (FTTP or HFC) $85/M (Includes a Static IP, WireGuard VPN, 5 Day Free Trial) @ Neptune Internet

To be fair, Neptune does state that "your **privacy** and security aren't optional. These are priorities we build around" on their homepage…

Poorly worded on my behalf - I meant those were two specific examples of benefits that come with the plan. The first being the dedicated…

Telco Buddy is just ABB rebranded which has the better network. That's not a slight against Neptune, but when you're that small you just…

This pricing is absurd for a phone with the hardware performance that is 5 years old (e.g. the Tensor G5 chipset having dreadful…

Tyrx commented on [PS5, XSX, PC, Steam, Epic, EA App] Battlefield 6 Free Open Beta Weekends: Aug 9 - 10, Aug 14 - 18 @ Various Platforms
My thoughts from the early access are that it's a good Call of Duty game, but a bad Battlefield game. I suppose that shouldn't be…

It's nice if you visit the more Balinese areas where tourists don't go. If you just stay in the usual locations, it's dreadful though - it…

marshmall0w2 on Google Pixel 9 Pro 128GB $1247, 256GB $1397, 512GB $1597 | 9 Pro Fold 256GB $2097, 512GB $2297 +Del ($0 C&C/in-Store) @ JB Hi-Fi

Isn't that a subscription model though? Charging outright seems ridiculous for something that is a requirement under consumer law.

I wonder how many upvotes are purely done to spite the Islamists and their enablers.

The brand sets both the pricing and the frequency of promotions. Even if they didn’t, commercial agreements with the vineyards are based…

stenchlord on Nescafé Vanilla Espresso Coffee Concentrate 6x500ml Pack $33 + Delivery ($0 with Prime or $59 Order) @ Amazon AU

You are interpreting this incorrectly. That's just the dry solids content. Basically, the Nescafe product is ~90% water, with the actual…

stenchlord on Nescafé Vanilla Espresso Coffee Concentrate 6x500ml Pack $33 + Delivery ($0 with Prime or $59 Order) @ Amazon AU

The "plain black" version is still terrible. The composition of the product is 90% water and additives. If you want expresso shots in a…

CharcoaI on Google Pixel 9 Pro 128GB $0 with JB Hi-Fi Mobile $99/Month 24-Month SIM Plan (in-Store & Port-in Only) @ JB Hi-Fi

You're correct - nobody is being rejected from a home loan over doing this. If that's occurring, it is because of underlying reasons with…

I'm going to be the detractor here, but I wasn't a fan of the story. It felt incredibly ham-fisted with every trope from the current trend…

bargainperson on [eBay Plus] Playstation 5 Slim Disc $561, Digital $491.30 Delivered @ Kogan & Dick Smith eBay

With how Nintendo approaches pricing, you will be waiting until the Switch 3 is released to get that price point.

Meh. It doesn't seem to be as generous as their previous promotion campaigns. I'm not seeing anything beyond $5-8 in discounts, and that's…

Reticent on [eBay Plus] Nintendo Switch 2 + Mario Kart World Console Bundle $709.90 Delivered @ EB Games eBay

To be fair, it's still the best handhold device if you don't want to spend time messing around such as adjusting settings such as with the…

That doesn't make sense though. The average SPF rates for for zinc-based sunscreen was 25.5 in contrast to non-zinc based sunscreens being…

plonchi on ClearWipe Lens Cleaner 60-Pack $6.12 ($5.51 Subscribe & Save) + Delivery ($0 with Prime/ $59 Spend) @ Amazon AU

Are you measuring the water/isopropyl alcohol (IPA) ratio (e.g. 70/30)? It's not an issue if you're doing that - these type of commercial…

If you care about updates, you shouldn't be using any Motorola phone. They may promise updates on paper, but their budget and mid-range…

It's limited to 720p for individual participants, so no need to worry about that.

The 1600 lumen bulbs are $100 each, lol. Philips Hue is not an ecosystem you get into if you're short on cash.

If they are using Fulfillment by Amazon (FBA) there is a very small window with which they can cancel orders from their end, and if they…

Wait, $750k net assets or liquid assets? What age are you talking about? I think most people here are talking about liquid assets and not…

The IMEI wouldn't have changed from that warranty job and the newer batteries don't have the same fault that the old ones did. I'm guessing…
