AlexD commented on How Much Should I Pay for New Tyres?
It really depends where you are. I typically spend ~$650 to $800 on a set of tyres, but it varies hugely between make and model. You...

I disagree! I have a Mi Box, a Chromecast with Google TV, and 2 ATVs. The Apple TV is noticeably faster and more reliable. Every streaming...

TheCad on Logitech MX Master 3 Advanced Wireless Mouse $109 + Delivery ($0 with eBay Plus/ $0 C&C) @ The Good Guys eBay

Depends. I have an MX Master 2S at work, and just upgraded to the 3 at home. The scroll wheel is a lot nicer on the 3 - when you flick the...

Tried to grab one at the Wellington store last weekend, but everywhere was out of stock. Eight 4GBs were left in the country, so I got one...

ash2000 on Breville The Dual Boiler Espresso Machine $899 C&C /+ Delivery ($855 in-Store Negotiated) @ Good Guys

I have the Oracle, and I’m very sure it’s a 58mm portafilter - it’s identical to the one from the BES920. I always get my milk/coffee...

marc kay on Logitech MX Keys Advanced Wireless $160, Edifier S350DB $299, Edifier R1700BT $129.60 & More @ Wireless 1

I paired mine with three dongles. Works perfectly. Exactly the same process as Bluetooth, except I used unifying software.

Kangal on Apple MacBook Pro 13" M1 Chip 2020 $1889.99 (RRP $1999) @ Costco (Membership Required)

I think this would be representative, were all apps run through Rosetta 2. It’s not misrepresentative displaying native ARM benchmarks,...

Treasurehunter on 15% off Apple Products (e.g. MacBook Pro 16'' 9th Gen i7 512GB $3299, i9 1TB $3899) @ Wireless1 eBay

Pretty sure it’s from the original price, but it depends how it appears on the invoice. With eBay sales, you’re effectively paying full...

luketechfast on Gaming PCs: R5-3600 2080 Super [16G/480G/B350/750WB]: $1649 [Plus CoDMW Code] / R7-3700X RX 5700 XT [16G/B350/480G]: $1399 + $29

Could you post some estimated rates here? Almost ordered from your eBay store, but very tempted now and nothing listed on the site!

No. The point is that these have audio outputs - instead of providing video/audio over HDMI, they exclusively provide audio, and over...

Have you ever actually had a vegan in your face about dietary choices? Most people I know who are vegan are super quiet about it, and...

I’ll check in here too, as an IT professional experienced with both. I need a phone to make calls and run apps I want to use. I don’t...

I don't think it's worth negging because you disagree with the price. The deal itself is the best price available for a Steam key at the...

MITM on Our area ‘finally’ got NBN and now I have to pay more for slower internet with downgraded infrastructure. Yes. It’s insane.

NZ is also a decent comparison - a LOT smaller, but more spread out population, with huge spaces between. Gigabit is <$100/month, and is...

LDAC > aptX HD, and is the best of the codecs at the moment, something like 996kbps with 24/96 compared to 576kbps with 24/48. Having LDAC...

I've experienced similar incidents in my Volvo to your first two (though I have a 2012 V60 with only front collision warning) - there's a...
