    BBC: Firms told to publish salaries in job adverts ahead of new law

    Is there an issue if it's arbitrarily wide for the most upper end specialized positions? There's also nothing stopping companies from paying above the band, just what the norm is. If you can objectively justify why that person should get above the band, it's legal. There is also the good faith...

    BBC: Firms told to publish salaries in job adverts ahead of new law

    Could offer that as three separate positions and only fill the one. And still fine to have edge cases like this, helps most people.

    That's what DSC is for (including serious).

    SARS loses court battle against taxpayers whose returns were submitted without their authority

    Probably because you could have cases where companies will try to use it as an excuse. Good that SARS lost in this case on the grounds that even they agreed it was not authorized. Is an odd case to take to court and could have had a lot more ramifications if that wasn't the reason for the loss.

    There are 3,111 exposed home streaming systems in South Africa which can be taken over by hackers

    Just to scan through? Mine is a minute or two, issue is more picking up new files, doesn't work correctly for container with NTFS on host due to file system. I just have a hook in qbit to trigger a scan on complete (on download complete you can trigger external script, have that trigger scan)...

    There are 3,111 exposed home streaming systems in South Africa which can be taken over by hackers

    Curious as to why not use only Jellyfin? I have only Jellyfin, so am curious if missing anything interesting. Basically use Swiftfin on AppleTV, Jellyfin runs in a container with watchtower on my NUC, and family member can remote with tailscale to watch externally (and I do the same if airport...

    New MacBook Pro with PROLED XDR Display and Touch: The world’s best laptop display

    Cool, but that's a gimmick. If a company can afford that, then there are test iPhones for you to use, and you're most likely still going to use your mouse rather than lift up your hand to touch the screen. Did android development for a bit, some had touch screens, rarely ever used outside of if...

    New MacBook Pro with PROLED XDR Display and Touch: The world’s best laptop display

    There was a specific talk about how this is not a good idea for Apple as a 2:1 device would either take away from iPad or from MacBook sales, which is why this was probably designed not to flip around. I am still not the target market for touch, don't like touch on normal laptops, especially...

    Eleven years, zero megawatts delivered: South Africa’s gas-to-power procurement failure

    States in the article that the reason is none can provide for a long term gas supply. Not sure how one can do that in a country that doesn't produce gas and would always have to buy from the international market. This is besides the fact that South Africa has among the best conditions in the...

    How much would you be willing to pay for a next-generation gaming console?

    A majority are at 2 or less per year. https://gamerant.com/how-many-people-buy-new-games-each-year/ And cosmetics in game will probably be similar /same price for both. I do think console prices seem to be subsidized by much, and that the game prices are higher than on PC, but for most if it's...

    How much would you be willing to pay for a next-generation gaming console?

    I think around R15k maybe? I just won't be buying one as my couch set up is an apple TV with ethernet connected to gaming PC with ethernet, use Apollo on the gaming PC and Moonlight on the apple TV. Is basically a console experience as you can launch steam big picture from it and Windows and...

    How much would you be willing to pay for a next-generation gaming console?

    I don't think most people buy 2 games a month tbh. It's also more that on PC I can update pieces of hardware as needed/budget, and it used to be that most would have a desktop anyways, but think most casual have gone just laptop route and we're slowly going the plug your phone in route soon as...

    https://feedbackportal.microsoft.com/feedback/idea/e0e6455a-cab8-f111-aad1-7c1e52a2eff0 Just giving the ms feedback entry for it. And FF does have profiles and proper ublock support on mobile. ;)

    Prominent JSE-listed company being nationalised for R10 billion

    Is it actually worth anything versus starting from scratch? Asking as I'd be guessing a lot of the furnaces and stuff to be outdated enough that it all needs a refresh, otherwise they'd not be for sale.
