    I'm convinced one of the systems that manages our imports/customs is compromised...

    Hey everyone, So I've tested this twice, and at this point Im sure it cant be a coincidence. I put a LOT of effort into making sure my phone number stays out of the hands of spam callers, I use a separate number for Experian/MyCreditScore, and go to lengths to opt out of marketing lists. For...

    Has anyone had experience with make.net.za?

    The PiShop one is a Pico, was hoping for the other one. Then for robotics.org.za I was told to steer clear of.

    Has anyone had experience with make.net.za?

    Hey everyone, Im looking for an ESP32 S3 devkit and some other components. No one in SA seems to have, the only ones I can find are digikey and make.net.za. I know digikey just exports from their warehouse in the US, so want to avoid the importing. Is make.net.za local or also just a drop shipper?

    Why is my parents home using 100kw+ a day?

    Thank you for these! Will take a look. I did take a look at the lights and they looked like Incandescent ones but turns out they these big fancy "LED Filament" bulbs which only take 4W. Tumble dryer definitely sucks but only a couple runs a week. I think the pool pump is taking more than I...

    Why is my parents home using 100kw+ a day?

    If most of the people in the house shower twice a day, doesnt that mean it will be heating most of the day? Also the outside one, doesnt that sap a lot of heat from it?

    Why is my parents home using 100kw+ a day?

    Ah, this would make a lot of sense. Will look at alternatives but Im not really sure there are any? Solar wont work since well.. Cape Town winters... and those gas ones are apparently not very efficient from what Ive been told. I will google it but maybe theres some golden nuggets of wisdom

    Insurer hasn't fixed my cars damage properly - How do I deal with this?

    They paid the original panel beater for the initial repair, not me. Then for the second repair, we agreed they would pay me out for the mechanical components that were problematic at the time to not cause further damage to the car and continue speaking about the cosmetic issues like the bumper.
