    NVR App Review (and demo)

    I'm of the (humble) opinion that the VMS software that comes with an NVR system is underrated in reviews, but can make or break the usefulness/user experience. Unfortunately most if not all reviews don't answer my questions. I'm using the HikVison app as part of a neighborhood security group...

    LOL, as things stand, I have absolutely no clue if that will be compatible with my server. But thank you :)

    RAM Upgrade help

    Hi, I bought this module but turns out it's not ECC, so not compatible. No worries though, I should be able to return it. In reference back to my original question, when searching for compatible RAM, what criteria should I apply? Looking at the label on my RAM (refer to OP) as well as other...

    RAM Upgrade help

    Is ECC a requirement of my machine? I.e. Can I opt to go non-ECC and buy two new modules instead of adding an additional ECC module? Will it make a difference in performance?

    RAM Upgrade help

    I'm not seeing any reference to ECC in the product you shared, could that be a problem?

    RAM Upgrade help

    Thanks, for future reference, what do I need to look for to determine compatibility? DDR4, ECC, Speed (2666), what else?

    Hi All I run a Dell PowerEdge T40 at home and want to upgrade the RAM. It's been a while since I dabbled in hardware so I'm uncertain what to look for w.r.t. compatibility. Here is a photo of the currently installed module. Any links or references to where I can source compatible upgrades in...

    Excessive Car servicing costs at Honda dealerships

    Same experience here, Rola Honda Somerset West quoted me R11,000 for Jazz 120,000km service. That's more than 10% of the car's retail value. There are plenty reputable shops capable of doing the same service at a fraction of the cost. Rola Honda will not see me again, and what's more, I will not...

    Best place to buy (and build) a laptop

    I recently started shopping for a laptop and my goto website was evetech.co.za simply because of their range and customization options. After shopping and researching (for longer than I’m willing to admit) and making a final selection, I was just about to pay when my spidey senses tingled, so I...

    Starlink pre-orders now open in South Africa

    The current prices are their "Better than nothing" prices, i.e. we're your only option so we can charge what we like. Thie higher cost also prevents them from being inundated before the network is ready. I'm sure that economies of scale will eventually allow them to undercut most ISP's globally.

    Starlink pre-orders now open in South Africa

    Here's what will happen (IMO). The local telecoms industry will lobby ICASA to prevent the use of Starlink devices in South Africa. If they fail they will lobby government to levy heavy import taxes on the device AND on the monthly service fee. They will probably succeed since government just...

    How satellite Internet will take on LTE and Fibre in South Africa

    I predict another industry cry-baby showdown once Starlink reaches our "shores". We've seen this with Uber, Airbnb, even WhatsApp when MTN cried fowl that Whatsapp are competing with their products using their own infrastructure. Local industry, after decades of abusing SA's remote location...
