    The wait for fibre in South Africa’s small towns and cities

    What an idiotic answer.

    What games will you never play again?

    Cookie clicker, Mr Mine and Dr Meth. Never again. Extreme time wasters.

    The cost of buying parts for a gaming PC from Temu

    Haha, no thank you. Wouldn't touch a Temu pc with a 10foot pole.

    WISPs doing well despite competition from fixed 4G, 5G, and Starlink - WAPA

    I don't see why they're worried about Starlink. The government won't budge and neither will Elon. He won't give 30% (or whatever) to previously disadvantaged people simply because he doesn't have to. Losing one country won't affect him that much. He'll just give SA the middle finger. Don't think...

    Internet solutions where Starlink, fibre, and mobile networks are unavailable

    I'm sorry, but there is no comparable Starlink alternative in South Africa.

    SA on course to become one of two Starlink-less countries in Southern Africa

    The stupidity of our government is just staggering. They'd rather have their citizens in outlaying areas suffer without connection than let an obvious solution into the country and it's all purely based on their hate of the white race.

    Amazon.co.za's underwhelming launch

    I agree. Nothing worth it to buy there. Their own fault they came in with nothing to buy.

    BYD unveils new hybrid powertrain with 2,000km+ range

    That's if it doesn't blow up. BYD vehicle batteries catch fire every other day. No thank you. I don't want to be well done while driving.

    Amazon South Africa same-day shipping delivers

    But they have no products. I searched for a bunch of stuff and Amazon had nothing. Found all on Takealot and bought it. It will take a while for Amazon to catch up. All their good stuff is on the US site, not here. Pity.

    Amazon.co.za is live

    Go for instance and search for office chair wheel on the US one and see what's available. Then do the same on the SA one. It's laughable ...lol

    Amazon.co.za is live

    ...and yet, I ordered from Amazon.com because the SA one does not keep stock of the things I want. If they don't at least mirror the stock of the US and UK one, then what's the point. Then I'd rather keep buying from the US one and takealot.

    No load-shedding for New Year's

    Well, that didn't last long. Loadshedding is back. This shouldn't surprise anyone....lol

    Eos Energy gets $400-million US loan to develop zinc-bromine batteries

    Bromine is toxic to humans afaik. Don't know if those batteries will explode when damaged, but the bromine is definitely toxic.

    Vodacom's network in Hartbeespoort fails Icasa minimum call quality standards

    I can testify to that. Vodacom is the worst service provider I've had so far. Contract finishes in June and will be jumping ship never to return.
