    What is your preferred computer operating system?

    Running Ubuntu 26 on my home PC. I do boot into Windows every now and then to play Wow for an hour or 2, but even that we can do in Linux apparently. I just need to spend some time to get drive space freed up to that I can install it there.

    New law in South Africa could block people from selling their cars if they have outstanding traffic fines

    My wife could not get her new car registered because she had a trailer with an expired license disc on her name (we forgot about it... oops) That makes more sense to me. Allow the selling of assets but stop te registering of new ones. Think about how many people will rush to get the fines...

    So after my build my one case fan sounds like granny's electric wheelchair. Ten to one due to the can of compressed air that I used to clean up my case. So I started shopping. I like RGB fans because I set it to change based on my CPU temps. Im not a fan of some of these cases that looks...

    Question on GPUs. Budget is about R10000 Im looking at getting a replacement for my 1060 6GB. Now the Intel Arc B580 12 GB looks very good but I see Intel killed future developments and will focus on onboard graphics. Is it still worth getting one? Im also looking at the Radeon RX 9070 GRE...
