    Are you excited for Trump 2.0?

    I'm personally pretty happy with what he has managed thus far. My American family (cousins, aunts and uncles) are also still pretty supportive overall at the moment but if the war drags on and prices increase drastically that could change quite quickly.

    What recourse do I have - neighbours tree hangs over my property and drops rubbish all over my car?

    I would say have another chat with them before deciding anything, I have no idea of your or your neighbors situation but most South Africans have virtually no savings so they may be slowly putting money aside to take care of the problem. AI Slop incoming: Recent surveys indicate that a high...

    Samsung s25 FE vs Redmi Note 15 pro plus

    I would say go for the Samsung then, the 25FE shipped with Andoid 16 and promised 7 years of updates so it should get to Andoid 23 if Samsung maintains their update policy. Even the S25 and S25 Ultra are only guaranteed until Android 22 as they shipped with Android 15. The CPU and GPU are also...

    Samsung s25 FE vs Redmi Note 15 pro plus

    Depends on what you want the phone for, the Exynos 2500 is way ahead of the of the MediaTek Dimensity 7400 Ultra in almost every aspect, the CPU is about 2-3 faster in all benchmarks and the GPU is almost 5 times faster in most benchmarks, if performance and gaming are not a concern the Redmi...

    Upgrade advice

    I've never tried with a graphics card before but my cousin brought me a steam deck before from the USA and we planned the same thing to say it was a gift, left it in the box to bring here and they confiscated it at the airport until duties were paid, mind you my cousin had his own steam deck in...

    Upgrade advice

    If it's still sealed in a box (and that would be the only safe way to transport a graphics card) they would still probably flag it at the airport and ask for import duty,

    Proposal for per-kilometre tax to replace fuel levies in South Africa

    Awful idea, this will just become a selective tax enforced against the 10%~15% of the population who don't want to break the law and businesses who must remain complaint ala E-Tolls all over again, if it's an annual fee like a license disc about 90% won't pay it and the government will crack...

    Who coded this paycity.co.za abominition?

    They are notorious for taking the money from you to pay a fine and not actually paying the fine, hundreds of complaints on hellopeter about them not paying fines that customers paid them for. I would check with the issuing authority that they actually did pay the fine and didn't just pocket the...

    Betway rejects online gambling ban in South Africa

    While gambling has never appealed to me, I do agree it should be banned here in SA, it does seem to be an almost unique problem we face here and we shouldn't be encouraging the destruction of so many people lives, some horrifying stats on gambling here in SA: Anyone who is gambling away our...

    Protein Powders and Shakes Contain High Levels of Lead

    It's mainly the plant protein shakes that seem to have much higher lead as the lead infiltrates the soil and is absorbed by the plant, if you are using Whey it seems to be mostly fine

    [Android] Pushbullet alternative?

    Google Drive works for me, I just share from my phone, computer or tablet to a folder on my drive account, since my tablet and phone are android they are already signed into my google account by default.
