    Ramokgopa set to publish draft electricity pricing policy amendment, promising cheaper tariffs

    Who wants to bet low usage users will end up paying more due to "transmission" charges?

    Reserve Bank analyst says Bitcoin transparency is a myth

    Banking transparency is a myth, numbnut.

    Eskom explains how smart meters will help it crack down on electricity theft

    Came to point out, wondering what they deem unusual. Probably to have those who helped save and stabilise the grid now pay up.

    Frogfoot Leap launched in parts of Lotus Gardens

    Geen vrotpoot in my area. I'm still against it though. Everyone should have cheap access to fibre. Zoom doesn't discriminate.

    Amazon Leo in South Africa will improve Internet quality in rural areas

    Funny how they're pushing a Mickey Mouse pie in the sky version when Starlink could launch right now but somehow it's downplayed. If only politics could disappear from the face of the earth to be run by a free market system.

    Coinkite Coldcard cold wallets hacked and millions stolen in ongoing attack

    ICASA explains why 7-day bundles are exempt from rollover requirements

    These bundles shouldn't exist in the first place and is daylight robbery. I've previously showed that the non-expiring bundles on the market work out cheaper than these half measures which aren't that cheap in any case.

    Bitcoin is money and not money at the same time in South Africa
