    Takealot refuses to swap out my faulty NVMe Drive

    Oh dear. You're still confusing a limitation of liability/damages with the primary warranty remedy. The warranty separately defines the remedy as repair or replacement. The damages clause caps WD's financial exposure. lost data, downtime, consequential damages on failed hardware..

    Takealot refuses to swap out my faulty NVMe Drive

    Nobody said a warranty is price insurance. The point is that a 2TB NVMe was warranted, not its historical rand value. OP didn't cause the AI bubble or NAND price increases. How the distributor and retailer settle things between themselves isn't the consumer's problem. Sigh. Scroll down to...

    Takealot refuses to swap out my faulty NVMe Drive

    So much waffle.. You're conflating the value of the product with the product that was warranted. OP didn't cause the AI bubble or the price increase. He bought a 2TB drive with a X warranty. How much it costs to honour that warranty years later isn't his problem.

    Takealot refuses to swap out my faulty NVMe Drive

    Besides, the supplier isn't necessarily taking the full knock anyway. They can send the failed drive back through WD's warranty/RMA process and get a replacement or credit from WD. That's literally what the warranty chain is there for.

    Takealot refuses to swap out my faulty NVMe Drive

    You’ve got to be joking. He bought a 2TB PCI 4 nvme drive with a multi year warranty. If the supplier can't source the same drive, then replace it with a similarly specced 2TB nvme drive and take the facking knock. Offering a 1TB PCI 3 drive, an external mechanical HDD or some generic 4TB...

    Geez, 10 years to perfect it and you can’t move the dock to the left for us lefties? And only two apps open at the same time? Revolutionary stuff. ROFL.

    You can scroll using keyboard by sliding your fingers over it. Who's the local distributer though?

    Two Airlink Embraer 190s perform dangerously low flyover at Cape Town’s DHL Stadium

    Gosh, your truck analogy actually makes the opposite point. A kid can unexpectedly run into the road. the stadium isn't going to suddenly jump into the aircraft's path [emoji23] This is why the flyover was planned, risk assessed and rehearsed in the first place. watch the video below. He...

    Two Airlink Embraer 190s perform dangerously low flyover at Cape Town’s DHL Stadium

    12m above 55k people, lol. The reported 12–14m was above the stadium's highest point. The aircrafts also passed over the lower portion of the stadium, where the actual clearance was considerably greater. But apparently 6 senior captains, including 2 dedicated safety officers, plus everyone...

    Two Airlink Embraer 190s perform dangerously low flyover at Cape Town’s DHL Stadium

    More altitude obviously means more margin in the literal sense. But what specific emergency are you suggesting where an extra 20–30m at that speed provides a meaningful recovery option? More margin is safer is true, but by itself it doesn't establish that the altitude flown was unsafe.

    Two Airlink Embraer 190s perform dangerously low flyover at Cape Town’s DHL Stadium

    Okay, I concede. From that angle it was a little closer to the stadium than I thought.

    Two Airlink Embraer 190s perform dangerously low flyover at Cape Town’s DHL Stadium

    15 metres is low. 😂 The point is that low doesn't automatically mean near disaster. Some of those angles make it look like the aircraft was practically scraping the stadium roof. That's exactly why camera angle and reference points matter.

    MyBB Motorcycle Owners Thread (2nd gear)

    I feel your pain with the T7. It's my current ADV bike, albeit heavily modified with K-Tech suspension for a stiffer setup. Even though I'm tall, that top heavy bastard has caught me out a few times where I'm convinced I would've kept almost any other bike upright. That's actually one of the...
