    Surge in solar adoption has resulted in increased lithium battery fires

    The battery section of the article borders on publishing misinformation (FUD). The association is made with solar and ALL Li-ion batteries, while here are more than 11 types of Li-ion batteries (https://batteryuniversity.com/article/bu-205-types-of-lithium-ion). Further, although I do not have...

    MTN SA's public relations boss resigns

    Maybe there is truth to the SA chief Rabbi's speculation that MTN is in bed with some bad people and she wants out.

    Virtual private server price roundup - January 2024

    That is the whole problem with Windoze servers - you need a lot of resources and performance to do nothing, so there's not much resources left to do something.

    I think you are shooting a bit corporate for this low level review.

    Virtual private server price roundup - January 2024

    You should include VPSs from CONTABO.com in this review, as these are even more accessible than the local stuff to SAers . They dwarf all these SA packages with a lot of AMD 7282 vCPU, RAM, and especially disk space which is always SSD, or less storage on NVMe. I rent 6 vCPU, 16 GB, 400 GB SSD...

    DStv subscribers get shock Disney+ bill

    IMO, DSTV is the most skelm of skelms, and get away with all kinds of non-competitive and illegal stuff in the lawless SA. There must be thousands of people not realizing they have been charged for FAKE Disney+ or other services. FAKE because if you don't know about it, you won't use it. I...

    Starlink will be significant competitor to mobile operators in South Africa

    ICASA is a TECHNICAL committee. They should only protect SPECTRUM, not ISPs. The lawlessness in SA allowed ICASA to make laws about commercial aspects. They never should have been allowed to. So, if Voda/MTN and the the ripoff gang will be lunchless after Starlink, what the hell is happening in...

    Starlink will be significant competitor to mobile operators in South Africa

    If so, why is ICASA protecting their unfounded commercial interests, i.e. bribe paying ISPs, so much? You don't protect against a non-player. Ask Al Capone - he only killed those that threatened him.

    Icasa warns Starlink is illegal

    What is there to spy on in SA? Broken roads, broken power stations, dirty rivers, sewerage spillages, broken government. I bet Elon wants to know we get that done!

    South Africans are dropping DStv

    Yet they still blame streaming services as the competitor? How dumb can you be. You can't watch Rugby on "streaming serices" like Netflix, Prime, etc. Make PREMIUM CHEAPER you DSTV idiots, and lift the stupid 1 device DSTV streaming limit that just psses people off, so I can watch rugby while...

    Tips for extending lithium battery life

    Only two complaints to an otherwise quite sound article: (1) If I put 40 A into my 0.25 kWh battery, I will likely sing from the clouds. You should keep it relative if you talk general, so perhaps you meant 40% of 1C, not 40 Amps. (2) Your voltage advise of "keep it right" is very sound, but...
