    Disney Plus SA

    Does anyone have an idea why Grey's Anatomy season 20 has "stalled" on the first episode? The rest of the world already has episode 3, they are supposed to be released weekly.

    Would you buy the Apple Vision Pro?

    I'm not a gamer so I have no use for VR. But Apple products are by definition always overpriced, I'll never buy anything Apple.

    How often do you shower/bath?

    Daily shower, I don't have a bathtub. Usually in the morning, but loadshedding takes away water pressure where I live, so sometimes my shower is later in.the day.

    Do you tip Petrol Attendants?

    Not f it's just a fill. Extras like windscreen wash, tyre pressure could get a tip if I happen have suitable cash.

    Once you leave the greater Cape Town area there are f#ckall chargers WEST of the N1 until you get to Gauteng. And of course, as usual - F#ck the Northern Cape!

    Surfshark digital quality of life index 2023 - South Africa declines

    Don't get me started on my pet-hate topic; the extremely poor to nonexistent internet services in rural areas. Even major national roads have substantial gaps in cellular coverage, and once you leave the wide tar strip the signals rapidly dwindle to nothing. And let's not mention the...

    Comms minister tacitly confirms he is moving South Africa's 2G and 3G sunset dates

    There are massive tracts of rural areas that still have only 2-3G towers (and still others that have none at all). So it's not just the phones and dongles that need to be phased out. Government and the network company heads tend to have a "big city" world-view - they are blind to the thousands...

    Remgro's Pieter Uys says Vumatel is democratising broadband access in South Africa

    All very nice and easy in a large metro where you have a million potential users within a few km, but where does that leave small rural villages in sparsely populated areas?

    FPB bans children under 10 playing games unsupervised - and gives online video age restriction guidelines

    Making inherently unenforceable rules serves only to diminish the rule of law.

    Telkom's slow-roll ADSL switch-off

    There are still dozens (if not hundreds) of small towns and villages all over the country that aren't anywhere near to even a faint rumour of getting fibre.

    DStv hits back at eMedia over it dropping four E-tv channels

    This is an entirely pointless excercise. Satellite broadcasting is a dying medium. Internet streaming, live and on-demand (via fibre etc) will entirely replace direct satellite broadcasting, probably by 2030 if not earlier. In many households it already has.

    Uncapped mobile data packages compared

    Why does nobody offer uncapped LTE on the Vodacom network? Where I live the only LTE signal is from Vodacom.

    Uncapped LTE on Vodacom network?

    Is there any uncapped LTE offering that runs on the Vodacom network? In my area Vodacom is the only network that has LTE. Telkom, CellC and MTM all only have 3G coverage and Rain does not exist here at all.

    MTN vs Rain — Uncapped mobile data showdown

    Meanwhile back at Vodacom HQ................ It's extremely frustrating that Vodacom has no comparable offers. I live in a small town in the Northern Cape where only Vodacom has 4G/LTE (and fibre only exists in your breakfast cereal).
