    Amazon’s big edge over Takealot in South Africa

    Takealot has just the worst after sales service, and general policies. They will either get a wake up and become better, or be plowed under. The only reason they are still in business, and lets be clear, as a reseller...is their prices and convenience for ordering.

    Amazon importing vs Takealot tech price comparison - June 2023

    I stopped using Takealot after my GTX1650 died 4months into warranty (pre load shedding), no abuse just glitched on boot. In those 4 months, the price of the GTX1650 had gone up nearly 3x. Takealot refused to swop the product out, and, after taking NEARLY TWO MONTHS telling me "we are waiting...

    Are laptops less likely to pop due to load shedding? (Second desktop motherboard gone in two years)

    Yes laptops are more resilient as they have essentially a built in UPS via their battery pack. For your PC woes though, simple solution is to get a surge protector on your main wall plug, but a UPS is better of course, as often even following the schedule they surprise us with a stage change...

    Synology NAS Giveaway - Enter here

    Very much the lack of permanently recurring subscription fees makes this the bomb feature for me. Being in a position that requires payment (thanks Microsoft 360) to access your own data is just ludicrous. Well done you lot. "One-time investment, no recurring fees Invest in a NAS and start...

    Do you have a preferred petrol station brand?

    Shell because my father was a career man there until late 2000's, and we weren't allowed to use any other brand. In fact, two small humans (me and idiot brother) were to be seen pushing a car that had run out of fuel past a BP and an ESSO in the torrential rain sodden land of the UK because...
