    WRewards and MySchool cards will stop working

    Pity - the app sign-in page is blank. Has been for some time if the play store reviews are to be believed. So they're effectively killing their rewards program?

    Analysing DStv bill-splitting prices with Netflix

    What has Netflix got to do with an advertorial for DSTVs split-bill service? <shrug>

    New ZA plug standard progressing well — industry

    The 'RSA Plugs' in our kitchen have started making bad connections and arcing with plugs inserted. Obviously wearing out after years of plugging in/out the coffee grinder, mixer, cellphone charger etc. Granted they were some of the first on the market, but I've never had old 15A plugs do this...

    Ordering off Aliexpress? Advice?

    Also waiting for an order. First one ever (for me) to come via SlowAF. Customs, if taken at 15% VAT + handling, is actually a bit less than what SAPO would have charged with their current handling fees. So yes. I am a long-time supporter of AliExpress - they just have proper stuff that you...

    Ordering off Aliexpress? Advice?

    Still Post-Office? So hoped that era was over now. So risky given that they are perpetually days away from being liquidated - depending on which publications you believe. 😔

    Your temu orders

    Can someone explain this "ClaimCredit" deals to me? I've been given an offer for R1600 credit, presumably already qualified to R1560 - I just need R40!! (Queue Temu Fireworks <TM>). But then the T&Cs say 1.2% of order value + R5 for first order. Do I read that correctly that I need to make an...

    Your temu orders

    Yup, most recent order coming with CN Express, to be handed over to Slowway. Tracking now shows that customs was paid, and it wasn't me. This is great news. (Maybe AliExpress can take a hint...)

    Post Office increases prices

    So what will the new handling fee be for incoming international parcels? (Because that is the only fee they they would ever possibly receive from me.)

    Joburgers furious over ‘punitive’ solar billing move

    So they're going to charge you for 2.2MWh less than they should? Hell yeah - that is more than my entire grid use in a year - I wouldn't complain either!!

    Discovery Health to cover the cost of its overpayment blunder

    So unclear who is paying: Discovery Medical Aid Scheme (the not for profit scheme) or Discovery Medical Aid Administrators (who made the booboo and should ideally be refunding the scheme)?

    Ordering off Aliexpress? Advice?

    This is not referring to your taxes, it refers to the import duties. They're likely looking into a shipment a bit deeper OR they're simply waiting on you to pay the duties. If this is coming via SAPO, it should sort itself out at some point. BUT if via a courier, best contact the courier as...

    Ordering off Aliexpress? Advice?

    I've had items take several weeks to travel between JIMC and Cape Mail. Too soon to worry, especially given the holidays. You can also track it here for possibly more detail: https://trackingnew.postoffice.co.za/

    Bolt Lite tested in Fourways

    Yet the i10 receives zero stars? https://topauto.co.za/news/138497/major-warning-for-hyundai-owners-in-south-africa/ (I'm reasonably sure I'd rather be in an i10 than in this not-very-cute thing...)

    Ear protection @ clubs & festivals

    Cheap: Temu Proper: Etymotic I have the latter for loud / live events where fidelity is more important, and the former for times when I'm not fussed about fidelity but just want it to be less loud but still want to be able to talk to someone - like during loud engine noise, power tools and...
