    VoIP providers still have a competitive edge

    G729 sounds like garbage compared to WhatsApp/FaceTime Audio... other than a call center or sales team, who actually uses a landline everyday post covid? Also, MyBB seems to be disrespectful with these covert shills.

    Hacker shows how to buy a tank of petrol by stealing someone's payment card details

    FNB should align all their products to ensure customers have a consistent experience. For VCC/CC transactions, they use 3DS with in-app approval, but when spending eBucks on TA, you have to confirm the transaction with an OTP.

    iFixit retroactively drops iPhone 14 repairability score

    Consider this alternative perspective: Is it possible that Apple is intentionally attempting to reduce the worth of black market salvage components to discourage the sale of phones on the black market for spare parts? With the iPhones' modularity and extended service life, dealing with stolen...

    Car tech that's become must-have

    If you're buying a new car, those are the things that add value. In my own car I have Bluetooth via Spotify and using waze/gps is less ideal having to either use some sort of mount or having to look down the whole time. With my wife car with android auto/car play Waze/Maps just works so much...

    Car tech that's become must-have

    Android Auto/Car Play is a must. Depending on the vehicle, if it's bigger than a polo, rear parking sensors or a less desirable rear camera is a must. The rest are luxury features, not must haves. Must haves are things u would use every day, imho...

    I'm on 500/200 WA/Vuma for @ R1019.00PM, not happy with customer support channels but having problems saturating the line, not like the good old days of R7 weekend.

    The government of flip-flops — Mantashe says load-shedding could stop by end of 2023

    I think he tried to say import from neighbouring countries harbouring karpowerships.... or something similar to gold bars in bags ;)

    Protecting keyless entry cars from thieves - advice from insurance companies

    It should be possible for NXP to add some sort of TTL to packets and expire them in transit if the latency increases by any margin because the latency should be constant if the key is within a couple of meters from the car, hence negating MTM.

    WhatsApp vs Telegram voice call data consumption test - March 2023

    Would it have been too much to ask to include SIP (G729, PCM) and maybe Skype in that comparison to get a fair overview of the industry

    Ramaphosa's Eskom crisis meetings (re-)find what we already know - no quick fix

    Solar grid-tie systems can be considered "bad" for municipalities for a few reasons: Intermittency: Solar power is dependent on sunlight and weather conditions, which can vary greatly. This can make it difficult for municipalities to maintain a stable power grid when a significant portion of...

    also forgot to mention, the dealer doesn't want to upset Wesbank or its managers etc and will not stick out their neck for u regardless of the BS they are promising you. I phoned wesbank directly and got hold of the regional manager to complain, only then did the **** roll downhill and the...

    Tips to Boost your eBucks - 1 July 2022 to 30 June 2023

    50/50 Consider applying directly to Wesbank and explicitly tell the dealer to f*** off and that they are not allowed on your behalf to apply to Wesbank.
