    Do you get plagued by frequent spam calls?

    Yes, I have started getting them, too. So annoying. And they don't offer an option to "stop calling" so the same A.I. (Artificial Intelligence) calls you over and over. :--(

    I was caught by the latest Samsung S24 scam

    Actually, I went to a Samsung Store and they said their price is R20 999. And they are offering R12k there and then for the trade in (yes, R12 000! some Samsung Stores are throwing in another R2 000 in discounts/vouchers/store credits). So R21k - R12k = R9 000 for the S24 if you have a good...

    I was caught by the latest Samsung S24 scam

    Because according to Samsung this is not a once-off thing. Just google "New S24" and see how many cellphone companies are doing this (by looking at the price). And the more you name these companies, the more business they get from people who do not have S22/S23s to trade in, and I don't want...

    I was caught by the latest Samsung S24 scam

    Nope, it was not them, if you google for new S24, you will see piles of shops selling the NEW S24 "box unopened" but "no vouchers" in the Ts&Cs. It is those ones ... read the fine print, even if they are respected companies.

    I was caught by the latest Samsung S24 scam

    I just wanted to let you know about the latest scam doing the rounds by so-called reputable companies. This month Samsung is offering R10 000 trade ins on S22 and S23 series phones. The idea is you buy an S24 series, pay the full amount, then claim back R10 000. (At some stores you can get...

    Increase in WhatsApp Spam and Scams

    In the same boat. Endless spam and scams from "WhatsApp Business" accounts. I keep reporting as well, but it doesn't seem to stop the problem.

    Lithium batteries not to be used in a UPS...why?

    I don't think you can charge a lithium battery with a lead-acid charger safely. Some people say you can, but I think it reduces the life of the lithium battery and risks fire. https://www.relionbattery.com/knowledge/can-i-use-my-existing-lead-acid-charger-to-charge-lithium-batteries...
