    macOS Tahoe (macOS 26)

    For the first time since moving over to a Mac, I've held off on updating to the latest OS. On Sequoia 15.7.3 on my MBP, but on Tahoe on all the iOS devices. Going to be interesting to see if anything changes post-Dye, i.t.o of the next major OS update. Presently, simply don't feel...

    South African pricing for the MBA M3 16GB?

    University — taking the plunge on a M3 now, should guarantee it lasting the 4/5/6 years of any UG/PG degree.

    South African pricing for the MBA M3 16GB?

    Package with new MBA arrived today. Only it contained a frisbee and some sort of small PC-fan gizmo. Sigh. Going through the motions of logging the return. Seems some frisbee person just scored a R22k laptop — or maybe it was just an oversight... Regardless, what a schlepp.

    South African pricing for the MBA M3 16GB?

    Our's is off to 1st year varsity. Surprised any schools still require a Windows' machine, to be honest. Thought it would be a Chromebook/any device that can get onto Google classroom in most of them these days.

    South African pricing for the MBA M3 16GB?

    Thanks. As does Takealot — only 20 left — this is what we bought yesterday! Midnight blue/black version is selling R2k cheaper than the other 3 colours, for the same spec (16GB/256GB M3 MBA 13"). So, that was quite serendipitous.

    Disconnecting inverter

    Is this the consensus — that with zero loadshedding, it is better to disconnect one's batteries and inverter, since keeping it charged fully without being used is potentially worse for the system?

    South African pricing for the MBA M3 16GB?

    Greetings all! Would appreciate some clarity: See iStore has the 13" MBA M3 8GB listed at R21,999 — with the 13" MBA M3 16GB listed at R23,999.00. My understanding was that Apple had now effectively introduced the 16GB as the baseline model — so one should be paying the same price, but get...

    DSTV Stream experience vs ATV?

    Still have a previous, previous gen ATV. And use the DSTV Stream app. The latter drives me mental. Always slow, takes forever to show me what channel options are available. Don't get me started on how laggy it is to scroll. Also seems to default to some sort of standard/free-tier of the DSTV...

    LG Plasma finally kicked the bucket — what now, brown cow?

    Delivered today, and installed. Wow, is all I can say. Very happy with the choice made in the end. Thanks for all the input.

    LG Plasma finally kicked the bucket — what now, brown cow?

    Cheers. Sjo — that might’ve raised all sorts of questions had I seen this earlier! Went with the 55” C4 in the end. Should have all set up by Wednesday. 👍🏻

    LG Plasma finally kicked the bucket — what now, brown cow?

    Thanks — yes, was contemplating this. Was first going to check if it also had a secondary HDMI on the back (which I doubt, given its age). If so, will move on to one of the other rooms as something a bit bigger to use with my home server. It's too long in the tooth now to work with kid's Xbox...

    LG Plasma finally kicked the bucket — what now, brown cow?

    I am thankfully not averse to reading. And whilst I have read my fair share of sports-related books, doesn't quite replace watching it as well. I.r.o. my avatar, JC remains a treasure. :) And you assumed that everyone on this forum is familiar with all forms of colloquialisms? Goodness...

    LG Plasma finally kicked the bucket — what now, brown cow?

    Yes, yes — but opted for something a little less oblique (since I wasn't entirely sure how familiar that phrase would be to others on this forum...). So, suffice it to say, that your grammatical/title query makes me all sorts of happy.

    LG Plasma finally kicked the bucket — what now, brown cow?

    Thank you all for taking the time to share your views. Despite some interesting arguments to the contrary — looks like I will settle on the C4. It’s what I thought would work initially, and most here seem to agree. Plus, I’ve learnt the hard way that usually one’s initial, gut feel, is more...

    LG Plasma finally kicked the bucket — what now, brown cow?

    After many years of faithful service, the HDMI input on our old LG 46"(?) plasma has given up the ghost. Absolutely gorgeous panel on this old thing, which will be missed. So, I haven't had to think about a TV in years — have now spent several hours after the past few weeks trying to get my...
