    Apple vs Samsung - iPhone 14 vs Galaxy S22 showdown

    Not to add fuel to the fire however I think a better analogy would be iPhone = Gautrain, in that it is fast however your route is always dictated by Apple, many people are happy with this and that's fine. Android = Cars, many different manufacturers where you able to choose from cheap to premium...

    How to build a gaming PC for the price of a PS5

    Performance of this build will probably be closer to a Series S than the X or PS5, definitely no 4k gaming happening here.

    Huawei's South African market share before and after losing Google Mobile Services

    Planning on replacing the battery on my P20 pro soon and might keep it for as long as I possibly can. Prices of flagships are just insane and I can't see myself paying those prices when my current phone does everything I need it to.

    Discovery implements mandatory Covid-19 vaccinations for staff

    Very interesting. Since the vaccine is not a cure and COVID-19 will most likely stay around in some form, will they also be enforcing yearly booster shots? Don't really see what the end goal is if we are intended to live with this virus and it's many mutations.

    Digital rand - CBDC for South Africa

    I see no point or value in this, as already mentioned our money is somewhat digital. I can go months without having physical cash so not sure what this solves for. If this was a digital currency that could potentially be used across Africa, now that would really be game changing.

    South Africans 5G towers burnt over COVID-19 worries

    If you are smart enough to identify a 5G Tower (since there is no 5G sticker on it) you are already smart enough to know there is no harm caused by it, might be a different element at work here especially since this conspiracy started early on in the pandemic.

    South Africans scammed by fake online stores

    I saw an ad multiple times from "Gamestore.co.za" on Instagram that was supposedly offering a brand new PS4 with 2 controllers and Fifa for R3300. I decided to have a closer look. The instagram account had +12k followers, there were multiple images of the "store" however all comments were...

    New Eskom pricing could crush solar in South Africa

    To be honest the majority of South Africans, myself included, are not able to afford the upfront cost of a full off grid set up and will most likely just have to cough up whatever additional charges Eskom gets approved. Just imagine if the mobile network providers were state owned and started...

    Malware-riddled laptop sells at auction for $1.2 million

    So was there some type of special technique used to install these viruses? are they not supposed to exist on the same PC? Because I am willing to install all these viruses and more on my laptop if I can sell it at that price. This would only be cool if this laptop was patient zero to all the...

    Huawei's Smartphone Plans Imperiled by Trump Administration Ban

    Not sure why they would need to "build" apps for their App store since they just simply need to host the same apps that's already on the Playstore with the exception of the Google apps. There would be no extra legwork for the app developers and they would probably gain more by being available in...
