    Discovery Bank has almost eliminated EFT fraud

    A lot of EFT fraud would be reduced if they introduced something like Name Check where the account name is also validated - https://www.choose.co.uk/news/2018/bank-payments-require-recipients-name/

    Apple iPhone 17 thread

    In the end I didn't need to replace my screen - it was actually the glass screen protector that shattered. So thankfully didn't have to go through that process. However, it's worth mentioning that iStore will bring in stock to do same day screen replacement if you complain enough 😅 - just try...

    Apple iPhone 17 thread

    Anyone dealt with a screen replacement for the iPhone 17? I booked an appointment with the iStore and only when I got there that they said they didn't stock the screen and it takes 5 working days to order and repair. On top of that, they will not order in stock without the customer leaving their...

    Easy Equities good or bad?

    Been waiting 8 days for a manual bank verification since they don't automatically verify with my bank. No response from the support ticket created and no replies to my follow ups. :cautious:

    Grocify, a soon-to-launch grocery price comparison app for South Africa

    Feel your pain. Building the app is the "easy" part. I've seen countless people attempt this and even considered it myself, but from experience, which includes running a game pricing comparison site many years ago, maintaining and keeping pricing up to date when local retailers not only don't...

    Which compact SUV/hatchback - R350k budget

    Journalism is subjective and I'm sure it can be influenced whether knowingly or not due to relationships, but I think it's a stretch to say "they're captured". How many reviews can you point to that were produced after the ANCAP rating that don't highlight the safety issue? You can't expect car...

    Which compact SUV/hatchback - R350k budget

    Still happy with it, but obviously the new safety concerns are not great. Will wait and see what the eventual outcome is from Suzuki, but not in a rush to change just yet.

    DNS optimisation

    Been looking at setting up a better DNS solution due to recent outages causing issues (ie. Cloudflare outage, and other routing problems from my ISP to Google), so interested to see the outcomes from this thread. I'm in CPT, so focus on DNS servers with CPT relays, such as Cloudflare, Google and...

    Woolworths Credit Card

    So asked Woolies to investigate the Apple Pay issue with ABSA, and their response was: Sounds like they didn't even bother investigating and gave a generic response, considering this issue is ongoing for weeks.

    Woolworths Credit Card

    Has anyone tried adding the WW card to Apple Pay on a new phone (after having it on a previous phone)? Mine keeps failing with try again later or contact issuer. I phoned ABSA and they escalated but it was a week ago and still no resolution.

    Afrihost Mobile Feedback

    Really frustrating that the Afrihost app is not zero rated on AirMobile eSIM, and to make matters worse, it’s not possible to enable auto topups, so if you don’t have alternative connection options, you can’t topup when running out of data 😒

    Woolworths Credit Card

    This is my first debit order run (set for 1 September), but I see it hasn't gone off yet. Anyone else experiencing the same issue? Also, I see you can pay the account via a debit card - are there any extra fees when doing so?

    Vinyl vs Laminate flooring in 2025

    Hi all. So looking to replace old carpets with vinyl or laminate flooring in my bedrooms only. There's been plenty of debates around this, but a lot of them are a number of years old and based on older laminate which wasn't great. There's also pros/cons for both, and there isn't really an...
