    RAIN CBD Tower Issue - Fantastic Service

    If you want to complain the whole time, have fun with that. Personally, I like to point out to people when they have done something that I appreciate. If I cannot provide constructive criticism, I've found moaning does very little to help the situation. Telling people what they have done...

    RAIN CBD Tower Issue - Fantastic Service

    So I have noticed in the Cape Town CBD (near Gardens Centre, top floor apartment) my 5G signal can dip over weekends.

    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.

    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...
