    Windows 11 Support Thread

    I do my best to disable clippy2026 wherever I can but yea when using a browser to access outlook/office it is unavoidable. edit, the irony of this is I see copilot pop up in linux more than in windows :ROFL:

    Windows 11 Support Thread

    My biggest gripe with the lock screen is not really Microsofts fault. I run ubuntu on some machines so am pretty used to going to a blank screen and just typing my password in, with windows it needs a click or keytap before you start typing a pin or password in. so yea, frequently typing my pin...

    General Gaming Discussion Thread

    I play games to put the real world aside for a while, this sounds like a great way to destroy immersion and continue the battle some third party seems to be on to destroy humanities attention span. :ROFL: Oh look, a squirrel.

    R260 per day for petrol from Pretoria to Joburg

    Glad I moved closer to work, from a 22km one way drive if I go straight to work and back to a 3.5km drive made a world of difference to my monthly expenses, especially since I drive a 2002 automatic with 4 gears.

    How do you type on your phone and what is fastest tap or swipe typing?

    I prefer swipe but use both swipe and tap depending on what I am trying to do. No idea what is fastest, swipe just works better for me and my gorilla fingers. Also, edit, I watch other people use their thumbs to tap and then I'm reminded...

    Would you cancel a streaming subscription if it started showing paid ads?

    Yea watch quite a bit myself on tv and if they do all go advert crazy I have a ds218 loaned out to someone I'll just bring home and back to news hosts and providers. The fire tv cube will be sold off and I will use the Raspberry PI already attached to the tv for youtube and other streaming. I...

    Would you cancel a streaming subscription if it started showing paid ads?

    Same but I would just switch to brave instead of the youtube app.

    Adverts are the bane of humanity, they say prostitution is the oldest profession, I bet there was some dude putting up posters the day before.

    The South African public has to prepare for the worst-case scenario

    Sorry Ronnie, but as a South African who feels laws based on the color of your skin are racist and who feels that taking property without payment or permission is called theft I really believe that your only real gripe is that the cadre enrichment may have to come to an end.

    How much it costs to buy a minibus taxi in South Africa

    Good luck with that SARS, only way I see that happening is if you force the country to go cashless.

    South Africa wasn’t tough enough on Shein and Temu

    Still the only places that sell my shoe size with a choice of more than 1 or two styles and do not mark it up insanely. Just bought another pair of tekkies for R266 off Temu (I now only go onto temu every 6 months or so then buy a pair of shoes with the discount they give me for coming back so...

    How do you normally pay for purchases in stores?

    I have my drivers and ID on my phone but they do not accept it for some reason. I suppose I could take a photo of my turtle as well.
