    Fraudsters wipe out pensioner's savings, Nedbank offers just R20,000 'goodwill gesture'

    The whole premise of "the banks should do more to protect customers" is a double edged sword. On one side yes, those that are easy prey for these sorts of things would need extra protection methods but on the other side you have security savvy people that would not appreciate having to jump...

    ATT: Small Business Owners / RE: Biometric Clocking Machine

    I am interested in the cloud solution they are providing if you can provide some insight into that. I've tried to look at alternatives to my provider, not necessarily due to cost but the support is a bit of the PITA when needing to add people. A free solution would obviously be nicer since I...

    AI Check-In: Which Agents Are You Currently Using?

    Not sure this fits here but it seems to be the most appropriate thread. Came across a YouTube video sponsored by Merlin AI. You can get the Pro version for 5 bucks a month on the annual plan using code AN5. Seems like a good deal, compared to ChatGPT sub.

    South Africans set to pay the highest petrol price in history

    Someone tell the people on the side of the road that they need to start waving leopards now. Not even a buffalo is good enough

    Home Assistant : Q&A, Tips & Tricks, Your Configs
