    Toyota SA's new Fortuner

    If that AI render is anything to go by it doesn't look like anything more than just another facelift. I am on the 3rd facelift of the current model and, having owned each version, my impression is that each facelift became tinnier and more cheaply built. So if all they're doing is cosmetic...

    South Africa’s rand should be R16 against the United States dollar

    Let's see how this goes when AGOA is cancelled.

    Vibe-coded South African website hacked just six days after launch

    In my experience, AI is also quite good at hardening code. I'm guessing that this is a step most of these non-technical vibe-coders completely skip. If you absolutley must vibe-code public facing code, at least ask multiple frontier LLMs on their highest settings to scan the codebase for...

    Do you tip delivery drivers?

    Nope. I'm already paying for the delivery. But TBH if Takealot added a function for this I'd probably do the same as I do on Sixty60 and add something small (R20) but def wouldn't be handing over cash when they deliver - it would have to be via the app.

    Year End Functions

    You actually made me check if I'd made a typo 🤣

    Year End Functions

    Our work from home culture has changed things a bit - some people actually seem keen to spend a bit of in-person time.

    South African coffee franchise exposes company and private data in vibe-coded web application

    I find this a little odd because Claude constantly nags about security. To get it to expose sensitive data on a public url you would likely need to repeatedly tell it to explicitly ignore security concerns. Just my 2c.

    Constitutional Court saves ANC from election pain after it failed to press submit button

    So basically there's now a legal precedent that anything you load online but don't press the final button to submit can be deemed to be submitted anyway. Fantastic, I'm sure this will work out fine.

    The ANC plan to strip people of their citizenship if they criticise South Africa

    They would have to change the constitution and they'd also be in violation of UN conventions, so good luck with that.

    R50 billion tax surprise for South Africa

    Is the taxpayer supposed to be enthusiastic about the government squeezing more money out of us than they expected so that they can fritter away more billions in wasted and fruitless expenses? Who is this supposed to be a win for?

    Foreign intelligence services keeping tabs on South Africa

    I'm fairly sure this is probably already happening, and nobody would even have to leave Fort Meade to do it. They probably have a better handle on what our government is doing than our government does itself.

    Gauteng to open criminal case against student who reported a security flaw in its R269-million app

    How did this cost R269 million anyway? From what I can see the initial development was around R2m, the other R267m is for a contract with a company that provides the back end infrastructure, continuous hosting, and integration into the emergency response network. Even so, I have questions.

    Gauteng to open criminal case against student who reported a security flaw in its R269-million app

    I’m having deja vu. Didn’t something very similar happen with the CoJ (?) about 10 yrs ago? Someone reported on this forum that you could get personally identifiable data by just changing the URL parameters on one of their sites and instead of fixing the problem their response was to try and...

    South Africans could lose the right to complain about spam calls

    Knowing the way things tend to go around here it's just a matter of time before the national opt-out register is breached and spammers start using it as a source of verified contacts.
