    TikTok's 270-day US ban countdown awaits Biden's signature

    Inter-city trains in SA: Would you use them?

    As long as it is safe and reliable, I don't see why not.

    Hackers unlock Tesla's premium self-driving and rear heated seats features for free

    So much of the coverage on this focuses on cracking DLCs. I think the bigger story is researchers extracting the service network keys. It's not an easy exploit to take advantage of, but it's hardware-based and persistent, so not easy to fix either.

    DStv Home Base setting appears in revamped streaming app

    IEEE releases 802.11bb

    Telkom rejects former CEO Sipho Maseko's acquisition proposal - again

    Agreed @Fuzzbox the share price is reducing over time down to R28.29, and so are the offers which have fallen from MTN's R60 to this consortium's R42. Shareholders can't be too pleased with the board.

    Tested on Wear OS. It works. It needs you to have a screen lock (pin/pattern/etc) but it didn't ask me to unlock until I had already tapped. The well-worn FNB terminal at the coffee shop said "check phone for further instructions" and then froze. Once they had reloaded the transaction, I was...
