mingofmongo replied to Hero on Respawn Ninja Mechanical Gaming Keyboards: E.g. Cherry MX Brown Ergonomic Split Keyboard $99 (Was $169) + Delivery @ Mwave
I think 'terrible' is going a bit far - so far I'd say it's meeting expectations. It's big and bulky (which I knew beforehand), has...

mingofmongo commented on Respawn Ninja Mechanical Gaming Keyboards: E.g. Cherry MX Brown Ergonomic Split Keyboard $99 (Was $169) + Delivery @ Mwave
Got mine today. Seems alright so far, but I'll be typing on this more than I will be gaming. For those who bought this deal - the keyboard...

mingofmongo commented on [Switch] Cattails - $2.85 (was $21.99)/Bright Paw $9.99 (was $19.99)/Submerged $1.49 (was $9.99) - Nintendo eShop
My daughter loves Cattails... Has probably spent 5-10 hours on it so far. At this price it's good cheap entertainment

mingofmongo replied to Da dpG on Forty Spotted Gin 700ml $48 (Value $95.99, 50% off) + Delivery ($0 with $75+ Spend) @ BoozeBud
The label shown on Boozebud is the 'old' label and bottle design. The new bottle is an 'upside down' design. Either way, same gin. FWIW,...

mingofmongo replied to newjerseydamo on [XB1, XSX] Dolby Access (Dolby Atmos to Stereo Decoder Licence) ~$16 @ Microsoft Store
Not quite right newjerseydamo Yes you need the Dolby Atmos app in order to output to a Dolby Atmos device such as an Atmos soundbar or...

mingofmongo replied to ILikeBargenz on [XB1, XSX] Dolby Access (Dolby Atmos to Stereo Decoder Licence) ~$16 @ Microsoft Store
Imperceptibly so - DD uses compression (just like Spotify/iTunes/MP3) which PCM isn't and Atmos probably doesn't. (Probably because Atmos...

mingofmongo replied to Jklaro on [XB1, XSX] Dolby Access (Dolby Atmos to Stereo Decoder Licence) ~$16 @ Microsoft Store
But what's the point? If the speakers/soundbar don't support Atmos then they'll support DD5.1/DTS which is natively supported by Xbox games...

mingofmongo replied to pilmarion on [XB1, XSX] Dolby Access (Dolby Atmos to Stereo Decoder Licence) ~$16 @ Microsoft Store
Indeed. Everyone - YOU ONLY NEED THIS FOR HEADPHONES! Dolby Atmos / DTS is already included if outputting to a compatible soundbar or...

mingofmongo replied to ash2000 on NVIDIA Shield TV Pro 4K HDR Android TV Streaming Media Player $276, Shield TV $198 + Delivery ($0 C&C/ in-Store) @ Harvey Norman
Not correct Ash2000 - my 'tube' has an ethernet port. (But no USB)

mingofmongo replied to CMH on Do You Pay More for Branded Medicine?
Brilliant response @CMH. 100% correct.

mingofmongo replied to onetwothreefour on Lay-Z-Spa Miami Hot Tub / Spa $399 @ Bunnings (in-Store Only)
I'm in Tasmania so Winter is particularly cold - just not worth the pleasant warm spa if it's going to be followed by walking back inside,...

mingofmongo replied to Kanari on Lay-Z-Spa Miami Hot Tub / Spa $399 @ Bunnings (in-Store Only)
It takes around 24 hours to come up to 40 degrees. During this time it consumes around $14 of electricity (based on 25c/kWh). Our spa is...

mingofmongo replied to Xizor on Lay-Z-Spa Miami Hot Tub / Spa $399 @ Bunnings (in-Store Only)
I haven't had one burst or leak thankfully. Of the 3 I've owned, the 2 that have eventually broken (after 3-4 years of use) broke because...

mingofmongo commented on Lay-Z-Spa Miami Hot Tub / Spa $399 @ Bunnings (in-Store Only)
I've had 3 of these in the last 12 years. Which sounds like it's not durable, but really, $100 a year for a fully functional spa is an...

40 Spotted is my favourite gin. Makes a great G&T!

mingofmongo replied to pizzaguy on Kogan 15.6" Portable Monitor Full HD IPS LED $219 + Shipping (Free with First) @ Kogan
This one claims you can, and shows a picture of it working that way. I was surprised myself as I know the Switch's display out...

mingofmongo commented on Kogan 15.6" Portable Monitor Full HD IPS LED $219 + Shipping (Free with First) @ Kogan
Does anyone know of a portable 15.6" monitor that has a built-in battery AND works with the Switch (without the need for a dock)? This one...

I was able to do it at my uni - I also graduated 20 years ago. YMMV though

mingofmongo replied to Morien on [eBay Plus] Synology DS220+ 2 Bay NAS $494.80 Delivered @ Scorptec eBay
I'm afraid not - once a year, in November, I think. I had Plex but hated the way you couldn't prevent transcoding. Emby isn't as polished...

mingofmongo replied to Morien on [eBay Plus] Synology DS220+ 2 Bay NAS $494.80 Delivered @ Scorptec eBay
If you're not settled on Plex yet, Emby might make a good alternative as you can at least decide which clients are allowed to transcode or...

mingofmongo replied to DonIsGood on Logitech K860 Wireless Ergonomic Keyboard $183.20 (Was $229) + Delivery (C&C/ in-Store) @ JB Hi-Fi
Not a significant improvement - perhaps slightly better than the Surface Ergonomic Keyboard I was using until I bought the Logitech. I used...

No worries 😁 If you're an ex Uni student you might be able to join the alumni and retain your edu email?
