    Google launches its first foldable smartphone

    Great. Click bait. "The thinnest foldable yet"... Then the article goes on to say absolutely nothing about the thickness

    Mercedes GLE MBUX Updates

    I'm guessing Vodacom blocks the OTA updates. If anyone has advice on how to hack the system to get updates from another provider or my own wifi Hotspot, please let me know.

    Mercedes GLE MBUX Updates

    From what I can gather, there is a built in eSIM in the vehicle. It is used for services like SOS and Roadside assist as well as getting basic navigation information like traffic and weather. MB makes an agreement in each country with a cellular provider to provide these services at no cost to...

    Mercedes GLE MBUX Updates

    Correct. Just inconvenient to go to dealership to update what is updatable OTA in other countries

    Mercedes GLE MBUX Updates

    Couldn't see a more fitting forum... a car subtopic on a broadband forum.

    Mercedes GLE MBUX Updates

    Will do that, but more curious if OTA updates are working over Vodacom for others in SA. Would hate to go to the dealer every time.

    Mercedes GLE MBUX Updates

    I got a 2019 GLE Mercedes several months ago and looking online I can see that Mercedes intends to continuously update the mbux software, however every time I checked it simply states no update available, but doesn't seem to even check if anything is available. AFAIK, Mercedes uses a mobile...

    Cell C's new prepaid fixed-LTE tested

    Won't they lock you to a specific tower? Maybe not today, but next month after you went through all the trouble to sign up.

    Best generator for loadshedding

    Very interested in the trending you are doing with this, are the smart capabilities included with the Inverter and what is the frontend you are using? Can you give me a short list of all the equipment you have currently installed?

    Best generator for loadshedding

    This is great information! My wattage calculation was purely based on 30 units per day / 24 hours.... But I just realized I made a mistake in my calculation above. It's actually 1.25 units per hour average. Which translates to 1250 watts. But some additional buffer on it and 2000W might be more...

    That's why I came here :) Happy to go inverter route too. Any products or suppliers to avoid?

    Best generator for loadshedding

    Yes, this is mainly for loadshedding. Budget is as much quaility and wattage/backup I can get for <R50K

    Best generator for loadshedding

    I have not seen that thread - feel free to move my thread there if needed. Listed what I don't need because it is a shorter list - was hoping the average daily consumption of 30 units could be a key determining factor. 2.5 units per hour average, which equates to 6.25kWh - so around 2500Watts on...

    Best generator for loadshedding

    Looking to invest in a generator or inverter that will be permanently hooked up to my power grid at home. Preferably something reasonably quiet so as to not drive neighbors crazy. I use about 30 units of power per day around the house. Obviously the Geyser and pool pump circuits don't need to...
