Decided to suss the smoking room here at JK airport (when in rome etc) and it is a solid compression session.
A staff member with tags walked in holding 2 beers opening the two heavy doors with her feet with an unlit ciggy in her mouth ready to go. Absolute pro compression session-er.

Thanks mate
I'm hoping I won't get accused of returning too much under the ACL.
In 2020, returned a laptop after 5 months after the RAM went bad. Then got the new one replaced a month later for a similar issue. The replacement has been going strong since then.
In 2021, returned a Samsung watch after 3 weeks when the o2 sensor burnt my wrist. JB Hifi also raised a personal injury report.
In 2022 bought a gaming mouse. Scroll wheel stopped working properly nearly a year later. Got it replaced... Now 5 months later the power switch is not working properly so it keeps turning off at the worst possible times during fights.
I mean, I don't think that seems like too much by far, but I do wonder about your tech choices! What mouse did you get that's being jank?

On the last point, I swear these so called gaming noises are literally just the cheapest shittiest components they can find... But WITH LIGHTING!11!1!!111!1! I was gifted what seemed like a fairly nice alienware mouse, was like 80 bucks, thought it was pretty cool. It has this weird button below the scroll wheel which I think changes the sensitivity or something. Pull it up a few times, mouse go slow, push it down a few times and I'm zooming around like nobody's business
6 months in, it kinda died. I can still adjust it, but it randomly sends me into max speed mode and I'm trying to click a button and all of a sudden my mouse is in another continent

Had a recruiter call. I hate recruiters. Especially when one dangles something promising then ghosts you as soon as you send the updated resume.
Ugh same thing happened to me last week - organised a time for a call and sent updated resume in the meantime. Recruiter never called or responded to a follow up by me 🤷🏻♀️
