@The Hawk Tell me more about your left handed can opener! Pics?

My Magic Can opener is about the same vintage. It also trims off the hair-wide bits of label on just about every can that has a paper…

Magic Can will not open soft tin cans, like sardines. It just deforms the can near the seam and either does nothing or makes a few…

Boxing Day too. I got a 77" G4 for $5.2k delivered from Good Guys. Included both the wall mounting bracket and a tabletop stand. Not that…

Wow! What an awesome exercise. Thanks for sharing. This is so much better to target the right area then trying to use a foam roller or a…

Heh. I lost 30kg and the Aeron went from being just fine for 12+ hours a day to being uncomfortable after 30 minutes.

I used to sit in an Aeron for more than a decade, but have switched to a Steelcase Leap V2 last year and like it much better. The Leap V2…

justtoreply on Out of Touch with Second Hand HDD Prices - What's a Fair Amount to Ask?

Thanks for the benchmark prices. I'll have about four 8TB WD Red Pro drives for sale once I replace them with 20TB+ drives, so knowing that…

I bought the HWF10ANB1 (10kg model) for $757 from Good Guys, back in November 2024. Very happy with it so far, although being a front…

The insurers collect enough information to get a pretty good idea. Suburb / street, number of drivers and their age brackets, car model and…

peteru commented on Hypothetical: How Much Extra Would You Pay for an Identical New MY24 Car Vs. a New MY23 Today (Assuming Both ~ $60,000 Range)
Dunno about most dealers, but when I was buying a Hyundai Kona last month, they were offering a couple of grand off a MY24 car. I asked the…

> Rubber only perishes if it gets UV on it or is exposed to ozone. Not true. Those two are factors, but they are not the ONLY factors. You…

When I was in Melbourne, one Uber driver was driving a manual Renault. She seemed to have fun changing gears in Melbourne peak hour…

There is a difference. Rubber ages and deteriorates from the day it's manufactured. If the OP doesn't wear down the tyres rapidly, then he…

bargaino on Monster Digital Coaxial 4-Way Splitter or RCA Audio Cables $1 + Delivery ($0 C&C/ in-Store) @ The Good Guys

F-type - that's a bit fancy. PAL connectors and composite signal from the C=64 for the win.

Well, if we are going to be reminiscing of cars of yesteryear, I reckon the good old Nissan Skyline I used to drive was a great car.

Except for the bit that if the wife was a listed driver (almost certainly was), then **you** includes the wife. No get out of jail card.…

Maybe 10 years ago, but as of 2024, buying a new Honda seems a lot like boarding a sinking ship.

skillet on Is It Negotiable When Buying a New Car? What Usually Do Australian Buyers Do?

I have bought one ex-demo before without any major dramas, but it only had about 100km on the odometer and I put 40 of those on there on my…

I went out on the weekend and kicked tyres at a number of dealers and did a bit of test driving and homework. When I returned to the…

Yeah, but no. An 8GB Mac system will not be pleasant to use. It certainly won't cut it for any of the Neural Engine tools in the Studio…

peteru commented on Laptop for Video Editing
If you are talking about real video editing software, I would not recommend an iGPU on Windows or Linux. Go for a real GPU (preferably…

peteru commented on Subaru Release Cadence and Availability
Well, to round this off... I went around to a Subaru dealer and checked out the Crosstrek 2.0R. It took two staff members nearly an hour of…

Standard procedures for Samsung. Their customer service mission is to inconvenience the customer as much as possible, until the customer…

So, Belong are now sending out messages like these, after they coerced people to buy new phones... > Hi Peter. The 3G network is now…

Sorry (and not surprised) to hear it. Glad that you ended up with a working system. I suppose CPL will never get another dollar from you.

My current MY17 Impreza has enough boot space for most things and I assume that the new one will be about the same. However, when the…

Thanks for the insights. Since nothing happened on the Forester end this September, it looks like there won't be any new ones in the next…

Got it, thanks. I tried to make some forecasts based on the Wikipedia info, but that doesn't even cover Australian releases. There has been…

For me performance is good traction on a steep wet driveway, not leaving another car behind me at the traffic lights. So, kWh or Nm numbers…
