    Payments to crypto exchanges blocked from Capitec's app and business web interface

    Late to the party here! But on ly just realized that Capitec are also blocking payments via PayPal. And when querying it, you get ridiculous BS like this: I'm a simple man and not sophisticated with all the fancy tech banks have but can someone please help me understand how an outbound payment...

    Traveling to Amsterdam - Best Options for Accessing Funds?

    Thanks, much appreciated. I have a Capitec account too. What’s the costs of just drawing cash from the Capitec account?

    Traveling to Amsterdam - Best Options for Accessing Funds?

    Looking for some guidance from the tech-savvy crowd here. So, I’m off to Amsterdam in August for a squash tournament. Don’t get too excited; I’m a terrible player—mainly going for the drugs, red light district, and, of course, the F1. [emoji23] I’ll be there for two weeks, dragging along my...

    Standing Desk recommendation

    I'm about to purchase a standing desk. I have a built-in desk in my home office space so I need a "top of desk" option like the DeskStand or Desk Converter. I'm just not sure which is the best option. If anyone has bought either of these, please share a review of your chosen option.

    Cape Town residents are waiting up to five months for permission to install solar panels

    Lot's of grumpy okes on here about this. And it's spot on to be grumpy. The CoCT registration form barely has anything on it to ensure the installation is correct, besides, that's what a CoC is for anyway, but they assume sparky's are too dumb to make a drawing so we must pay a fancy degreed...

    Cape Town residents are waiting up to five months for permission to install solar panels

    Also, I'm not sure what you are referring to about a SSEG contract? It's only the application form: https://www.capetown.gov.za/City-Connect/Apply/Municipal-services/Electricity/apply-for-authorisation-to-install-a-small-scale-embedded-generation-system

    Cape Town residents are waiting up to five months for permission to install solar panels

    I'm not sure what they did, I still have not had any feedback. Just paid what was asked and the installer said they would submit the application. There weren't any apparent concerns about penalties etc. The fee paid was the same as the fee quoted when I first installed my solution. Perhaps the...

    Cape Town residents are waiting up to five months for permission to install solar panels

    I installed a 5kw system in November 2022 with 10 x 470w panels. I spoke with guys in the department handling SSEG applications at the time and all I’ll say is that they were pretty nonchalant about the application. One takeaway I remember was that I could submit my application after my install...

    Understanding the FTTH ISP business model

    Thank you @PBCool. Much appreciated. Just a comment on the response above. I've always maintained that Afrihost and Cool Ideas were (and to date remain) the two ISP's with whom I've had the best performance regarding IPTV streaming. From your response, I take it that the answer to my...

    Discovery Vitality 2022

    What does the “or” imply? I don’t think there is an “or” option. AFAIK, the only way to buy an Apple Watch through Vitality is via the bank option. You can’t walk into an Apple Store and buy a watch using cash and get that 50% discount, can you? But you can buy any other device at TS or SW...
