    Audio Issue (Surround Sound)

    It's up to the manufacturers to decide which audio codecs to implement through ARC. Check if your receiver also supports Dolby Digital through ARC. At minimum they need to support 2 channel PCM through ARC. I know this kind of defeats the purpose of ARC. I've had the same issue before with a...

    Kodak inverter blew up + recommended installer

    So at 02:00 AM this morning I woke up and I could smell a faint electrical burning smell. I went downstairs and pinpointed the smell coming from my Kodak OG 5.48 5kW 48V Inverter. The screen was on but it was completely blank and one of the lights was flashing. There was also a little bit of...

    Meta Quest 3 local availability

    Just FYI if anyone experiences payment issues. So I've been struggling to buy apps/games for my Meta Quest 3. When I try to add my credit card or PayPal account I get a generic error message. I tried Meta support and also contacted my bank and neither were able to help. What eventually worked...

    Meta Quest 3 local availability

    So the 128GB model on Amazon is: $499 + $319.78 = $818.78 The 512GB model on Amazon works out to $805.10.... Does the "$319.78 Shipping & Import Fees Deposit to South Africa" imply that it's an estimate or the real amount that will be paid?

    GPU what is it and why do I need one? "yes it is click bait"

    All the games should be fine with any of those GPUs, except maybe Star Citizen. Did you mean Star Citizen or Starfield? Star Citizen isn't done yet, so there hasn't been much optimization done yet. It is also very CPU hungry. New updates might even make the game slower in the future. Personally...

    Meta Quest 3 local availability

    I wonder if I should cancel my preorder and rather order locally. On Amazon it is $500 + $325.20 shipping/duties which works out to about R15600... I preordered directly from Meta, but I am shipping it to a US forwarding address on Shipito. The duties amount is still unknown.

    Aramex global shopper

    They eventually got my package allocated after 18 days... I'm not sure how much the Customs Duty fee should be but it felt a bit expensive. I paid it anyway since I didn't want to wait even more.

    Aramex global shopper

    I bought an old Vuze camera from a US seller on eBay and got it delivered to the Springfield Gardens facility on 31 July 2023. However the package is still not showing up in the 'My Packages' section on the AGS website. How long does the allocation usually take? I also filled-in the 'Claim...

    Free DStv Now channels for all South Africans

    Iv'e tried it out and it looks somewhat good at the highest resolution, but I'm experiencing audio issues on every channel. Anyone else experiencing it? It sounds like the audio from the DVB-T2 channels.
