    South African citizens will get one of two types of smart ID card based on the length of their name

    I’m trying to apply for a smart card, but it is impossible to do so on Home Affairs’ website. They want everyone to get one, but make it impossible to do so. What an absolute joke of a country this is.

    Speed camera reporting has disappeared from Google Maps

    The other day while driving and using Google Maps, I got a “police ahead” warning twice, and in both instances there was a mobile speed camera at the location. It also said “as reported by Waze users” on the screen.

    WWDC 2025 and iOS 26 Discussion

    So how is 26.1 treating everyone so far? Maybe a bit early to say, but so far my phone feels much snappier, etc.

    Recent experience with trading in older iPhone?

    When I traded in my old iPhone last year, it was still in mint condition and working perfectly, so I almost got the exact amount their estimated value on the website indicated - they deducted R1200 from it because the battery health was 79%. If it was 80%, I would have received the full amount.

    WWDC 2025 and iOS 26 Discussion

    My take on the new software - it looks great on iPad, also cool on Mac, okay on iPhone, underwhelming on Watch. I have mixed feelings - on the one hand a new look is always cool and refreshing, but some of the visual aspects are not that great. Some of the icons now feel, dare I say it...

    macOS Tahoe (macOS 26)

    Also no 26 available on my Macbook yet, but it has been like that many times in the past (with previous updates) Still working on my Mac tonight, so will leave updating for later in the week anyway.

    WWDC 2025 and iOS 26 Discussion

    Servers seem slow, which is expected, but it might also be because of the fibre internet problems over the last few days. Nevertheless, updating my iPad first, will maybe try my iPhone later. Normally I wait for x.1 updates, but with iOS 18 being the sh*t show that it was, I can’t wait to jump...

    Might be an obvious suggestion, but did you turn off Beta updates?

    Question for those on iOS 26 already - does Call Screening work with private numbers too, or only with numbers that show but not saved in your contacts?

    Apple introduces new polishing cloth for all devices, sold separately for $19

    I think it’s high time for Apple to release a Cloth 2, in multiple colors. Imagine a cloth in the new Cosmic Orange. Has the cloth been updated to USB-C yet?
