    Microsoft 365, Onedrive and disappearing files

    Some Microsoft 365 (Personal) users find that their (important) documents get stored in Onedrive. Problem is, they do not realise this! When they do local backups of local User data (Desktop, Documents, Downloads, Music, Pictures & Videos) the Documents folder is empty (because the path to the...

    RSAWEB LTE Portal STILL down after 21 days!!

    Unfortunately I have had no experiemce with WebAfrica for comparison purposes, but I was a Telkom customer for many years and cut my teeth on poor service with them... The days of the 'master craftsman' are long gone. Sadly it seems that no-one takes any pride in their jobs anymore.. I must be...

    RSAWEB LTE Portal STILL down after 21 days!!

    I am speechless! RSAWEB went down on 1st Feb 2023 due to a 'sophisticated cyberattack' For 6 days their clients were fed lies, innuendos and misleading updates. Their LTE system was the LAST to come online, albeit at much lower speeds than before the outage. Throughout this entire time, all...

    DSTV sport streaming quality poor

    Over the last few weeks I have noticed frequent 'pauses' during DSTV's streaming of live and recorded events. Obviously this is annoying - a bowler runs up, and in mid-stride the TV 'freezes' - a moment or two later you see and hear the crowd applauding but you have no idea why! The same goes...

    RSAWeb restores fibre network - cloud, mobile APN, PBX still offline

    What kind of 'outage' results in almost a week of zero or seriously-impared Internet services throughout the country? IT professionals are asking obvious questions about Disaster Recovery Plans and\or the complete lack thereof. The silence from RSAWEB CEO Rudy van Staden is deafening.

    RSAWeb restores fibre network - cloud, mobile APN, PBX still offline

    Absolutely. Such an extended outage points to a number and\or combination of weaknesses in their business structure: possible lack of (basic) security measures; lack of competency; no properly tested disaster recovery plan and definitely a severe lack of management accountability and...

    RSAWEB - Customer deserve answers

    I emailed one of the managers this morning (Sean van Rhyn) and strongly suggested that RSAWEB management make a formal statement with realistic ETA's for restored services. Their communication blackout just makes them look worse. 'Progress reports' so far have been vague at best, misleading at...

    RSAWEB - Customer deserve answers

    It is common knowledge that RSAWEB suffered a 'massive outage' on Feb 3rd. However, they have been most disingenuous in terms off reporting actual cause of said outage, progress reporting and ETA for restored Internet services. Their 'blackout' on telephonic and email contact does not help...

    Major red flags over the use of spam-blockers like Truecaller in South Africa

    This article is rather one-sided.... The POPIA Act is a South African law - Truecaller is an international company. If the overwatch of POPIA is really that concerned about the dissemination of (South African) user information to companies like Truecaller, then it should do something about the...

    How cheap is South Africa's electricity prices?

    The problem is that we don't only pay for electricity from Eskom - we also have to pay the exorbitant salaries of a vastly over-staffed, ineffective workforce! And now the new board wants to implement ' bonuses and incentives' because these employees want to know "what's in it for me?" (to...

    Cost of traffic light battery backup with anti-theft enclosure is R50,000 to R100,000

    Why can't they use 'traffic calming' with built-in energy generators to power traffic lights? The latest LED technology is very energy efficient so a low-energy system is all that's required.

    Cost of traffic light battery backup with anti-theft enclosure is R50,000 to R100,000

    The real question is why the overpaid, under-worked traffic police get to sit in their vehicles under overpasses and WATCH the traffic nightmares unfold when it is THEIR jobs to monitor and control the traffic? Every time there is a major accident caused by lack of traffic police at a busy...

    DStv in danger of becoming the budget option

    For many years, as a DSTV Premium subscriber, I would receive an annual 'survey' email from Multichoice. Every year I stated that although the company name was 'multichoice' this is exactly what their customers did not get! I only want to pay for the channels that I want to watch! If Multichoice...
