    Do you have a solar setup at home?

    I have a partial setup, an efficient solar panel helps charge my 200 AMP batteries which in turn powered my inverter. This is mainly for load shedding and gives us 8 hours lighting and a TV for example. However, shortly we will be extending this for the farm and possible removing the three phase...

    Elon Musk's wealth is more than all South Africa's tech and telecoms companies combined

    I think we should just say very well done. An ordinary scholar from Pretoria Boy High where my late brother-in-Law went to school. An excellent school and it brought the best in Elon Musk. Never mind what he should be paying and what he should be doing, he knows so that the important part. He...

    Wild Coast smart city plans - but no budget or timelines yet

    Firstly Dlamini-Zuma cannot present anything worthwhile as shown by her COVID-19 tactics ruining our economy. Can she use a smart phone? SANRAL may as well not be around, outsource it and we may get roads built and fixed. Does she know there are no roads in that area and those leading up to it...

    Makro gunning for top ecommerce spot in South Africa

    I very much doubt if their aim will be true. I have experience at shopping at Makro, stores true, a while ago. They have hordes of stock of some items and are sadly lacking in others.

    SABS updates plug standard with new safety symbol for adaptors

    Just about all the multiway adapters and plugs sold by the supermarkets and hypermarkets have no SABS mark. They haven't for years. Most of them are rubbish. Hollow thin metal pins, cheap and thin plastic. This is especially seen in the two way or three way adapters supposedly 220-250VAC and 15...

    SABS updates plug standard with new safety symbol for adaptors

    I agree it is annoying sometimes however one must bear something in mind. A good reason why you cannot simultaneously plug miscellaneous two pin devices into a multiway adapter may well be because you can overload it's cheap construction. Hairdryers at 1500 watt and more can be plugged in with a...

    All online shopping now allowed in South Africa

    No. I do not like exercising in the street. It might be a curfew breaker. The beach yes! The NCCC members however probably don't know what a beach is? Well, it's a lot of sand, and water splashing up on to it. That is good exercise, running up and down the beach. However, the beach and a swim is...
