    Zoom alternatives

    Hi After learning that Zoom can use my personal data for machine learning and AI purposes, I am keen to give it the boot. I came across a good deal for a platform called Sessions on Appsumo and it looks decent. Has anyone given it a try yet? Would love to hear of any experience with it or...

    Best Value Vacuum mop combo?

    We have the Xiaomi Mi S6 and the S5, both with mop function. Both have worked well, but the S6 can lift the mop when getting to carpets, which is useful and the run time on both is really good. I see Takealot has Xiaomi Mi options, but since we live in Norway, I have no idea if any other places...

    A look inside Game’s awesome new concept store – with self-checkout counters

    That was my first thought too. It works really well in Norway, not convinced about SA, but happy to be proven wrong.

    Volvo’s Polestar brand

    8 Polestar 2's on finn at the moment @Voicy :) I must say, the Polestar 2 or the Volvo XC40 Recharge for me. I drove the Model X and have been a passenger in the Model 3, but not been in the S. The X just does not seem like value for money. At least the Polestar 2, the Volvo XC40 Recharge and...

    Left SA - keep or sell SA rental property?

    We live mainly on one income in Norway, which is not easy in general. We have managed so far and we will continue to manage but the extra money each month would remove some stress from my life. Not much, but I would then be able to put some money into savings accounts for my kids and/or get an...

    Left SA - keep or sell SA rental property?

    Yip, we have been subsidizing the entire time, which I am getting sick of. Having to send money back every month is rather annoying. we are 8 years into a 20 year bond. If we sell the idea would be to put the money into an account that would give us some interest and grow the capital for...

    Left SA - keep or sell SA rental property?

    I am going to revive this thread. We are in a slightly similar situation to the OP. The situation is: we live in Norway and have done for the last 5 years. We bought a house here last year. Have no plans to move back anytime soon. we own a flat in Somerset West. We have had tenants in the...

    So BP petrol is really bad

    Looks like Engen needs a proof reader or someone that can count. Apparently their 5 corporate values are: "Integrity, Performance, Ownership, Empowered". That is 4 :) They make the same mistake in two different sections.

    How Norway got people to buy electric cars

    Affordable depending on your income :) Living in Norway, there are a lot of electric cars on the roads. Teslas are pretty popular, but will set you back a large chunk of change. The Nissan Leaf is available for about 457 000ZAR and the Kia Soul Electric is available for about 359 000ZAR. The...

    SA faces tax increase as SARS battles to raise revenue

    Regarding the tax rate increasing and becoming more like countries further north and taking that to be a reference to living in the Scandinavian countries, I thought I would add my experience. We moved to Norway three years ago and we have been paying less income tax here than we did in SA. We...
