    In 1st world countries you get paid for your solar feed in without much red tape involved. Heck if you want to just use the power yourself then no one complains.

    Haval/GWM Cars

    Quite a few Tank 500 lurking around my area lately. They look pretty bad from the front but I see there are some kits coming out to improve on that a bit. Very comfortable inside and very upmarket compared to previous. The modded Tank 300's are getting really popular too, got a colleague with...

    Were you affected by the CrowdStrike global IT outage?

The update kicked in right in the middle of our business day on Friday and at that time no one knew what was happening. It sure was a long weekend spent getting servers online, finding bitlocker keys and...

    Why you should buy an electric car in South Africa

    Every second car where I live is electric. The Toyota Hilux is supposed to be the no1 selling car but I think there are way more model 3's. My neighbor just bought the BYD Seal and I took it for a drive, that thing is an absolute rocketship. On average it costs around R350k for a new electric...
