    Charging Survey - EV owners only

    I am coming in to save this thread! I have a BMW IX3. Currently my consumption is about 18kwh/100km. If you home charge, costs are between R3 to R4 per kwh depending if you are below the 600kwh threshold or not. Public charging is about R6 for AC 11-22kw and DC fast chargers R7 per kWh. You...

    Heat pump, Good Idea?

    I got a 16kw heat pump that heats up a 6X3 pool. Also got 5 of those black pipe panels on the south facing side of my roof. Pool currently at 30 degrees right now. Been like this since middle of August. Also got those PVC pool covers that help keep the pool heat in. I run the heat pump from...

    Rent-to-own solar for R2,500 per month tested

    I think the way to look at it is that if you are paying R2000 per month on electricity and this system replaces the same for R500 more, effectively you are paying R500 more per month for the system - a nett R500 cash out which is not a lot specifically for a lot for a system worth R160k. Also...

    Tethering on 4.2.1?

    Try assigning your APN to "Internet" and see if that works. You will need to restart your phone for it to take effect

    Problems setting up US account

    Just a bit of advice... Try to register an account with a state that does not have sales tax (VAT). find that some states charge as much as 20-30% of tax on top of the quoted price of the stuff on iTunes.

    iPad 2

    If they double the resolution on the same screen size, they will need a pretty powerful graphics accelerator to play games at true HD resolution.. Not sure about retina display on the Ipad 2 but it will get a bit of a resolution upgrade. Maybe 1280X768?

    So I underestimated the iPad....

    If you look at IOS4, all apps are placed on pause mode if supported. I find that the dock starts getting congested with previously run apps and you need to physically remove it app or your battery will drain quickly. A JB iphone/ipad uses a program called backgrounder & multiflow (GUI) that...

    So I underestimated the iPad....

    - True multi-tasking features - Internal file system management - Memory management - Non approved apple apps via cydia There are a lot that others can mention but these are what matter to me. Having an apple system with the flexibility of Windows. :)

    So I underestimated the iPad....

    Also got the wifi 16gb. When I take it out, I use my iPhone as a wifi hotspot. The best thing about the IPad is the abundance of software available. Tried a few of the android tablets and have not found one as responsive as the IPad. Also JB the IPad opens it up other functionalities. Only thing...

    iPad case / cover

    Incredible connection has those leather cases for R499 that has a Filofax type of look. What is nice is that it can make the IPad stand at different angles. Got one and very happy with it. Use my Bluetooth keyboard as well when necessary.

    iPad release for South Africa..

    Got it from Aureus Tech. Go to their website to check all the models. Only waited about a week. I use mywi to use my iPhone as a wifi point for my Ipad to connect to the Internet via 3G. Most of the time at home, I got 4meg adsl for normal browsing on the IPad

    iPad release for South Africa..

    Just got my IPad today. Nice device to have for browsing the web and watching music videos. Also jailbreak it to get the most out of it. Had to pay about R1k in duties bringing the cost to about R5700.00 for the 16GB. It is quite heavy if carried too long.

    Best Navigation App for SA

    +1 also the GPS app seems more responsive and is a lot more accurate in the cradle. Just find that the tom tom app is a little bit expensive. Not sure how much of an advantage the cradle + app will give over using something like navigon or ndrive though.
