backslashio commented on [Android] 3 Free Apps: Simple Gallery Pro Free, Simple File Manager Pro, Simple Draw Pro (Was $1.09-$1.39) @ Google Play Store
I think Piktures is better but this app has more customisation yet isn't as nice

backslashio replied to  JVs tattered socks on AKG M220 Semi-Open Studio Headphones (AKG 240 Rebrand) US $58.49 (~AU $82.15) Delivered @ Massdrop
they don't have much bass to them & they're semi-open. I'd say its studio but perhaps not professional studio

backslashio replied to  dm01 on WD Green 120GB 3D NAND 2.5" SSD - $35 C&C (NSW, QLD) or + Delivery (~$12) @ Umart
But if you drop a HDD, an SSD is more likely to continue working due to no moving parts vs a spinning drive. SSDs have also come a long way...

backslashio replied to  gigdiary on WD Green 120GB 3D NAND 2.5" SSD - $35 C&C (NSW, QLD) or + Delivery (~$12) @ Umart
WD Blue SSD is better for longer lifespan and something like a Samsung Evo 860 lasts *much* longer with a 5 year warranty vs 3. If you're...

backslashio commented on IKEA SIPPRA Wall Clock $2 (Dark Grey Marked down from $19.99) in-Store @ IKEA
The description says it creates "shadows & textures", something I don't normally look for in clocks

backslashio commented on 25% off 51 Sellers for eBay Plus Members / 20% off for Non-eBay Plus Members @ eBay
I think once a year they should have a 99% off sale and then see how ridiculous sellers adjust their prices

backslashio replied to  praga on Spend $100/$250 and Save $10/$50 @ IKEA (Family Membership Required)
Sadly the ONLY thing I wanted to buy which costs above $250 is out of stock in Perth! Argh! They should allow pre-orders for restocked items

Prices are always higher for WA/SA and Ikea Family offers pail in comparison
