    Rougeware SSD drives

    Served me well so far. Maybe I got an older one? But then other value SSD brands like Crucial (which I think were also reasonably good products) have also been ended by their parent companies (Micron) which forces the consumer in SA to buy more expensive SSDs. And as we all know the prices...

    Shooting down a drone in South Africa could land you in jail

    If you have a license to fly a drone in SA, you will know its virtually impossible to legally fly a drone over a built up residential area - so if a drone is found flying in neighbourhoods or over your local beach, its most likely a rogue drone. Unless a NOTAMN says otherwise. Plenty ways to...

    R45 billion petrol price pain for South Africa

    Did you know most of SA's refined fuels come from the UAE, which still had a functioning export and refinery port on the Eastern side of the country. not affected by the choke point at all. So ships going in and out of that port had no higher risk than usual throughout the conflict. And the US...

    Which TV of these two would you choose for gaming?

    Why are you buying a TV instead of a monitor for gaming? A TV will require a TV license...a monitor not (has no TV signal receiver). Price?

    Rougeware SSD drives

    Rogueware 2.5" SATA NX100S Still good - 2 years later. 1% degradation according to CrystalDiskInfo. So in my personal experience its better than a Kingston SSD drive HP put in a laptop (under warranty repair) I owned a while back, and which died on me in less time.

    Solar PV registration legal compliance campaign update

    CT hasn’t let go yet - which means residents there still need to fork out the extra ECSA cost when installing, while in the ESKOM supplied areas beyond CT boundaries, its no longer needed. Seems like the reseller of ESKOM power, is slow to adapt to a new national utility standard.

    Solar PV registration legal compliance campaign update

    ESKOM waived the Engineering (ECSA) sign off 14 January 2026 Why are municipalities (like Cape Town) not amending their bylaws and waiving the Engineering (ECSA) sign off with immediate effect? ESKOM is the bulk supplier of muni electricity - the muni is a reseller of ESKOM electricity. Same...

    SABC blackout on the cards

    Sentech should just shutdown their channel transmissions, as the SABC is in breach of its legal obligation to pay license fees for transmission of their signal. Why wait till December?

    SABC blackout on the cards

    As of September 2025, the SABC has not fully paid its Sentech license fees , owing a significant debt of approximately R1 billion. Consider - that makes them a rogue broadcaster.

    Ramokgopa does not trust the private market to offer affordable electricity to poor customers

    SA's electricity prices increased 1,000% between 2003 and 2024 alone. Its gone up since then as well... Thats why ESKOM will die.

    Rougeware SSD drives

    Just some feedback after a year of use. Rogueware 2.5" SATA NX100S No issues at all after a year of use. All in all a great SSD in my experience, if you want to breathe some new life into a laptop still using a normal spindle drive.
