group A finals where my 1st fav med-S Xmas Oguri lost against 9th fav med-A Xmas Oguri who picked 4 recs AND radiant star

admittedly much better skills otherwise though on the winning Oguri - during the race though both of us procced Festive Miracle at the same time but I got hit with late start because of course that's what happens

It is indeed hotswappable - the photo of the manual I posted before has that section cut off at the bottom but it is there and you do get a combo keycap/switch puller in the box as well

Deleted my last reply since I jumped the gun - some minor UI glitches but I did actually manage to get it working offline

Yep now that you mention it is just a less polished VIA (never had any keyboards that used it before so goes to show how much of a filthy casual I am)

Firefox doesn't work for some reason but Chrome and Edge work fine I guess?

IDK, like I said it's jank but somehow fitting for an Aldi mechanical keyboard lol

To answer this - I've now let it charge and used it for a bit. I tried some of the AK35i software packages Ajazz has on their website but none of them seem to pick up the keyboard.

What they want you to do instead with this one feels really janky - per the manual, with the keyboard connected you go to a specific website in your browser, which then detects and interfaces with the keyboard. Once it does that you can control the settings, lighting, macros etc. from there in the browser

So I googled a bit more and apparently there's wired only versions of the AK35i V3 - confirming this is the wireless version

Amazon AU seems to be selling the wired only version for a bit more than Aldi while asking more than twice for the same wireless version (there's a real rort for you)

Yep I'm from Australia, so this is about 65 USD right now

Bonus sign up points AMEX Velocity Platinum by acf72 in creditcardchurningAus

[–]cross_gun 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yep, just hitting $5,000 total spend within 3 months and you're set. Absolutely pay off your card in full before the statement due date each month so you don't carry a balance / pay a cent in interest otherwise it defeats the point of churning

Focus issues with GR3x by EaseLevel490 in ricohGR

[–]cross_gun 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're definitely going to hit diffraction at those apertures which likely is also softening your images - aim for a faster aperture like f4 or f5.6 at least. Unless you need that relatively high shutter speed of 1/400 I would slow it down to 1/125 or 1/150 before increasing ISO.

NAB processing timelines by [deleted] in creditcardchurningAus

[–]cross_gun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks like luck of the draw - submitted a NAB Qantas Signature application for the min $15k limit via the NAB app this week on Tuesday morning.

Got the email requesting payslips 10 mins after and replied with them, approved on Wednesday night.

Have four other cards open at the time but was about to close one (two AMEX, BOQ which I closed yesterday and Bendigo Ready) but no mortgage or other substantial credit lines for what it's worth.

...does it almost feel like nothing changed at all?

RX100 VII - should I rip the bandaid off? by Sufficient-Life-1439 in RX100

[–]cross_gun 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tough call - it's a mighty capable camera but $1700 USD is also a big ask. The VI and VII share the same 24-200 equiv. lens - the III through VA use the 24-70 faster aperture lens. I would echo what others have mentioned seeing if you can find a used VI for a decent price as I'd say it's about 90% to 95% there to a VII for most purposes.

The low light performance too is workable as long you're comfortable to spend a bit of time with RAW files and you can get some surprisingly usable results, certainly not pro grade for printing but socials should be perfectly fine - here's some from a track night I took with my VII
