There isn’t a definitive list, only vague guidelines: https://consumer.gov.au/sites/consumer/files/inline-files/ac...

The price you paid relative to comparable products factors into it - more expensive goods are expected to last longer.

If you and the manufacturer disagree, you can always take it to tribunal to get a decision (and manufacturers never want it to get there so are motivated to resolve your concern before it comes to that).

Are you suggesting the emoji squeeze toy conveniently rolled perfectly to the edge of the hydraulic press at exactly the right moment and then its eyes uniformly popped out? A perfectly uniform explosion of dust actually burst out the press? Seems doubtful.

It was a deliberately tightly restricted market to ensure taxi drivers could make a liveable wage. Now the industry is filled with people forced to work two or three jobs to survive and a tech company is capturing profits off the top. That might be a better outcome for customers but it sure doesn’t seem like one for the workers involved.

Does anyone understand why the arm64 instance types are showing roughly half the performance versus the comparable x64 instances in this? Other benchmarks I've seen put them within 20% of each other. Is this just a hyperthreading vs full core thing?

If you were genuinely remotely hacking a smartwatch, you’d be executing background processes to exfiltrate data entirely invisible to the user, not doing some bizarre remote desktop thing randomly tapping around on apps. The claim doesn’t pass the sniff test irrespective of the manufacturer.

Took about 5 months of endless back and forth to get them to replace a defective SSD in Australia too, despite very clear consumer law guarantees here obligating them to help. Absolutely hopeless company to deal with.

Oh. Well he always truthfully and accurately represents the situation so I guess that’s the end of that.
