    The R10,498 console that beats the R21,999 PlayStation 5 Pro

    You can do many types of comparisons. Both are console type devices. Both play games. Both have a custom OS and both have an online store to buy games so both are like appliance devices. For people who don't mind not playing the latest or not having Sony exclusives, both play the same games...

    The R10,498 console that beats the R21,999 PlayStation 5 Pro

    A little bit off on the analogy. You're being hyperbolic but missing the point of the article. The McLaren is the most expensive (and best performance) car you can get outside of some customisations I suppose. The PS5 Pro is not the most expensive gaming device, nor the fastest. The handheld is...

    Six killed in Krakow 'far-right' shooting, as three more bodies found in attacker's home

    Spokesman for the prosecutor's office: "we have no evidence that the attacker was either left or right leaning.| They did find a flag which also appears on a Metallica album though. Of course that didn't stop the minister on day 1 claiming the man was a right wing extremist. Likely to...

    Sienna prepaid meter - Error E-10 - fix

    "Made in South Africa" - more likely "Assembled in South Africa from Chinese components and circuit boards".

    End of tipping car guards in South Africa as you know it

    LOL in some European supermarkets the trolley is only freed if you insert a local coin. I noticed that a R5 coin or a R2 works just as well :) To get your coin back you have to self push the trolley to find another trolley to insert its dongle at the back of the handle to release your R2 coin :)

    End of tipping car guards in South Africa as you know it

    This kind of 'economy' is BS. It's like the little mom and pop 'beauty salons' or gardening services or small time solar or DSTV installers. It's not real economic growth. It's not generating wealth, it's just churning the same money over and over again. SA needs to EXPORT ideas, products...

    End of tipping car guards in South Africa as you know it

    It costs more. To employ security guards and pay their UIF and other taxes and sick / annual leave is expensive. Same as waiter and 'barista' tipping. Guy forces some water through coffee grounds and you have to pay his salary in addition to paying for the little bit of coffee, a paper cup and...

    Fires break out at French schools as students protest nationwide

    Not sure what you mean. Bonaparte was kicking a$$ quite well and it required many scumbags to finally beat him. He was a good guy.

    Not French in the Imperial Guard? Kitching - here's a good movie for you to watch:

    Film banned in South Africa due to Holocaust denial, antisemitic messaging, and the spread of misinformation

    SA imprisons people for the K word, which is absurd, while "Kill the Boer" is OK.

    Starlink begins to cut South Africans off

    Pulling a stunt like a faked moon landing while a few years later having a space station and regular shuttle flights and putting the most distant and still functional man-made object out there in interstellar space are no mean feats. America lives even in the minds of conspiracy whack jobs rent...

    South Africa bans United States ‘hate’ film, threatening R500,000 fine for anyone possessing or distributing it

    Specifically, the film contains various instances of dehumanisation, falsehoods and prejudicial language, targeting Jewish people primarily. But siding with "Death to Israel" Iran is OK?

    New MacBook Pro with PROLED XDR Display and Touch: The world’s best laptop display

    Gorilla Arm. The OLED panel will get many to cut their medical aids to get one of these.

    Starlink begins to cut South Africans off

    Azbubu, this thread demonstrates how free information doesn't cut it, look at the Moon hoax comment.

    Starlink begins to cut South Africans off

    Yup. Even the Soviets believed it and they had spies everywhere. US couldn't keep the A-bomb away from the Soviets but somehow embarrassing America on the global stage by showing it was faked was not worthwhile. Even if they faked it, which they didn't, nobody else could have done it this well...
