    South Africans can start saying goodbye to bank cards for R1,400

    yea probably a good idea and also a good point will have to try it for a bit and see if it works for me. (watch 8 classic). But phone is always in my pocket so that I do not have to endure SA radio stations.

    South Africans can start saying goodbye to bank cards for R1,400

    Yea, I always feel a little exposed when I take my phone out to pay. Feels like putting a target onto my phone because not only is the phone valuable so are it's contents. Wallet at least hides it's current cash value and potential value simply because a bit of 2nd hand leather does not have...

    End of cash in South Africa is not happening

    I use cash when I pay the security guard at work to wash my car or when I pay the receptionist for my doctor the copayment as she does not accept cards. I currently have R90 in my wallet because I went to the doctor yesterday, tomorrow it will be R40 cause the car needs a wash.

    Any suggestions for a case?

    Added a monitor arm to the mix. Will put the 23" at 90' angle.

    Any suggestions for a case?

    I ended up swapping pc table for an old dining room table I use as a work bench so have more space for now but will change it all out for a custom table at some point. I also undervolted my gpu slightly and gave it a custom fan curve which means the pc no longer sounds like a jet engine on...

    Are you for or against worker unions?

    Never actually seen a union do anything useful in this country. They seem to mostly be paid to piss their members off and blame it on the employers more than anything else.

    What is driving the current “anti alcohol” rhetoric online

    Yea if you stay long enough you get to hear the same story from the same person at least 3 times, each time with a little bit more inebriation flare and a lot less vocabulary.

    What is driving the current “anti alcohol” rhetoric online

    What? I went to China on a business trip in 2023, you know the country where every shop sells booze and a 9yo can buy some if he or she likes? I got pissed one night on Japanese Whiskey surrounded by people I did not know from a bar of soap and who did not speak a word of English. They...

    Any suggestions for a case?

    I decided I need a table and a case so yea, my brain has been merging my requirements :ROFL: I will kick back to the reality of my current toolset though soon enough. 90% decided on this, 10% still stuck on building the pc into a custom table and giving my current table away.

    Any suggestions for a case?

    Yea, I actually changed out my keyboard after the above photo for one that backlit the characters of the keys and could be programmed to be a single solid colour so now the keyboard and mouse are dimly lit up in blue to make it easier to see them when the smart lights dim at night. The cheapie...

    Any suggestions for a case?

    I did but would need to either get a new table or replace the plexiglass sheet I added to the back of the current table for the monitor and speakers to stand on (and to give the table more depth) with something more solid. I suppose I could remove that sheet of plexi and just stick one of these...
