  1. +1 for volunteers. Just spectating this for most of the day was freezing af Will be an awesome venue when the weather heats up again and now that we've seen what works well and what doesn't
  2. If you can deadlift you should
  3. Turned out to be starter motor I think Chris said
  4. FYP for Volkswagen
  5. 100% forgot about it but should be in attendance and able to assist
  6. Called it; close on 3.3 This is why you don't follow the market...they are just following other people and doing it emotionally. So the quick sell off snowballs into a Chinese whisper of the sky is falling. That's why you buy when people are selling and vice versa.
  7. London 3.3 equivalent Watch us follow them back up tomorrow Cause we can never lead them anywhere except down Aussie investors are the worst
  8. Follow the announcements not the people shook by em; key words "as expected" repeated about 5 times throughout My only regret is that I topped up lastweek instead of today London seems to be reading the announcement a bit more carefully
  9. I thought it had 64gb emmc from my google? At what price point (for everyday consumers) was the 128gb ssd? The Acer is aluminum too Edit: found the 128gb for $450 on eBay delivered. There seems to be trade offs in each case - 10 hours battery versus Acer 15 etc. Buy online versus Aus retailer. With these notebooks the finer details/specs come down to preference or which compromise means the least to you. What shit me when looking is that all the retailers had their ever so slightly different takes on a given model so that they can't be price matched on them.
  10. Side note, it's interesting how many nerds on forums are buying up those ultra portables and overclocking them / upgrading components. Reminds me of people doing performance mods on Hondas or 250cc bikes.
  11. Looks alright; similar spec and price point to the Acer Swift 1 14", which has a ridiculous 15 hours battery life and USB Type C. Trading a superior processor for 2gb more ram. https://www.officeworks.com.au/shop/officeworks/p/acer-swift-1-14-celeron-laptop-sf114-32-c4pz-acswf1c4pz?cm_mmc=Google:SEM:Shopping:Laptop Computers-_-ACSWF1C4PZ&cm_mmca1=NULL&cm_mmca3=conversion&cm_mmca9=columbus&CAWELAID=620015440002880345&CAGPSPN=pla&CAAGID=34435309398&CATCI=pla-295391166934&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIr6DQkdHV2wIVmwsrCh3MNw-BEAQYASABEgKDz_D_BwE I looked at pretty much every ultrabook / portable / convertible on the market and the best bang for buck seemed to come from the Dell 11.6" Inspiron 3000. It had an Intel m3 processor, which was in another league compared to every other sub $500 laptop...until they ditched it for the AMD 9420e entry level shit, which is a declocked 9420 - albeit gave it 8gb ram to work with. I've now been given an i3 processor with Intel 620 in the 5000 13", which murders every ultrabook for performance so it's all kinda of win for my $400. Got lucky though...
  12. They have a production line policy not so different to car manufacturers like Volkswagen with dual clutch transmissions and repairs - no repairs, just send it back get a whole new one lol 12 years ago I bought a customized Dell laptop (back in the day where you could choose every component as you wanted) and it had a small scratch in the middle of the screen. I told them and 4 days later I had another of the exact build. Had to send the other back after.

  14. 256gb SSD I'll do another 4gb ram for the second slot and that will be plenty for my requirements. I was considering that ACER Helios 300 for some killer capability...still reckon that's an amazing value laptop. But snapped out of it when I remembered my original goal/requirements.
  15. I'm using it for word processing, light graphics (viewing images/video) and web browsing; tablet spec performance is fine for me, worked fine in store, so even the cheapie would have sufficed and weighing 1kg with long battery life made it very atttactive. I basically wanted a DGAF carry in one hand machine that if it got lost/dropped/stolen wouldn't have been too disasterous. The only thing I might do is upgrade ram myself because 4gb is pretty terrible for windows 10 and there's 16gb worth of capacity in the channels. That being said, it's interesting how good internal graphics are getting at playing some of the older games at playable frame rates. Nowhere near dedicated but they've come a long way.
  16. Ordered a Dell laptop and they tried to ship it with an AMD processor instead of Intel. Queried it and they told me they ran out of Intel CPUs and that the AMD was an upgrade - granted the latter came with 8gb DDR4 instead of 4, but benchmark websites call bullshit on processing speeds and onboard graphics. Kicked up a fuss and they've now offered the next model / screen size up in lieu; a $900 laptop for the $400 I paid. I love this company!
  17. What are you thinking? Skyline? lol I remember logging into email accounts at mt buller and posting shit from them...
  18. I've been an advocate of the 4 day fulltime week for a long time. Would happily take the extra hours. Remember it's not just one extra day a week to do shit you wanna do, it's one day less work too. Let's face it weeknights are mostly wasted. Used to work 3-4 days part time and that was the best work life balance.
  19. Fancy seein you round these parts What driving these days?
  20. All wills can be contested if you had defendants and shitty family members who want to vulture your possessions Unrelated, this guy...stop in and say hi flamin mongrel
  21. Hideous reaction to otherwise positive news...or as DW called it...neither materially positive or negative. Based on that, I topped up. Still not convinced it isn't market makers shaking a tree for cheap shares but eh, 88E's base has always been shaky and when the snowball starts tumbling... The HC geeks seem to think it's good on the whole and that artificial lift hasn't even been implemented yet which is our lifeline for the gush.
  22. Will the EFR kit work with an eBay line kit?
  23. Nothing beats MSG
  24. Nothing fancy about handing over $2.50 for a sausage in bread I do remember when they were $1 though
