    M-Net Movies 2 to be rebranded M Movies+

    No, more like "Hopefully they'll forget that Mnet Movies 1 was closed if we rename 2". Don't know for how much longer they're going to keep closing channels and try spin it as improvement, but we all know what it really is. For Canal+, they need to start using their media might to bring new...

    Anyone with experience with Old Mutual Insure?

    Old Mutual Max Investments, with an Echo Bonus. It just wasn't growing, and something felt wrong. I fired my broker (who was claiming his cut of fees and delivering no value), transferred it from Old Mutual into Coronation, and super happy ever since.

    Anyone with experience with Old Mutual Insure?

    I used to think it was consistent, but I've come to discover that you might get a fantastic premium from one insurer one day, and a terrible one the next time you come back to them. I'd recommend you get quotes from Naked (it's chatbot based via the mobile app so couldn't be easier) and...

    I renewed my driver’s licence without an appointment just outside South Africa’s best smart city

    Ja neh, apart from the dude standing and the person sitting to the right of him and the other person whose hand is visible and ... hello? What are we calling a bruin ou these days lol.

    Hardware Bargains 2 - Electric Boogaloo

    Just imagine AI trying to decipher that on a daily basis. What you don't get, see, is he's actually insanely intelligent and just leaving out all punctuation to save tokens.

    Police investigate deaths of two Gauteng teenagers in Sabie

    But can we see a photo of him in animal skins, pushing his car to school? And why is FAKE MEDIA hiding this photo from us? Proof of conspiracy!!!?!?!

    Police investigate deaths of two Gauteng teenagers in Sabie

    Both of these images make well-considered, thoughtful arguments. I shall go flip a coin of deciding.

    General coffee thread

    Middle Eastern visitors are chasing good local coffee ... while the Americans are, what? Sitting in the McDonalds drivethrough for some burned filter coffee (a real taste of home)? I'm still amazed at how much bad coffee you get, even with restaurants. I'd love a massive James Hoffman-style...

    What is driving the current “anti alcohol” rhetoric online

    Dude, do you think I was quoting an idea from a comedian because I was making a serious point? It's a fun thought experiment. However you seem quite aggressive and I'm over it, so sleep well when you get there.

    What is driving the current “anti alcohol” rhetoric online

    This makes me think of the Chris Rock video on the solution to gun violence. Don't make the guns harder to get, just make each bullet cost $10 000. Same for expensive alcohol, if it gets too expensive to over-indulge in for most people, then you've cured alcoholism right?

    TCL opens first experience store in South Africa

    True, but that then applies to all brands: Samsung, LG, Toshiba etc ... You can still see which panels have worse colour reproduction from those demo videos: mini-LED is just amazing, if you cannot afford an OLED screen.

    Hardware Bargains 2 - Electric Boogaloo

    Did anybody actually buy this? I'm pretty grumpy because it's a genuinely awesome deal, and is already all sold out. I knew Incredible did deep discounts on their demo laptops (I bought one for my son that way), but this promo seems to indicate they do the best retail specials on laptops in...

    TCL opens first experience store in South Africa

    Dunno why, I mean sure it's a budget brand but have you actually checked their Mini-LED screens in-store? They're amazing with the demo videos at any rate. Disclaimer: I went with LG for myself because I got a great demo deal, but I was pretty close on a number of TCL panels.

    It now costs R1,474 for a South African family to watch an IMAX movie and buy popcorn and Coke

    Heaving? I hope you've got your Discovery medical aid ready, or else there's a visit to Charlotte Maxeke in your future.
