    9 year old kid spends $180,000 on Youtube ads using his dad's company credit card

    Funniest about this is that the dad's in marketing. A: Explains some of the lack of foresight when you think about it. B: Explains how trying to get views off the tragedy happens before the PlayStation is in a million pieces is a thing, while the kid is playing minecraft. C: Is exactly the type...

    Banking scams evolving faster than South Africa can fend them off

    Hello, wut? That an extreme case now? Internet security 101 anybody? Don't klick links from non work related, non trusted sources. And even then confirm the sender email visually, AND confirm the link doesn't look dodge by either hovering over it for a preview or copying the link and pasting it...

    South Africa getting R292 million supercomputer

    I suspect more like a R30million supercomputer. If we're lucky. Or the budget for the R300mil one will be R3bil minimum.

    No Man's Sky

    Many gamers, many sales. New gamers all the time. A bit of grit to keep it working. I was pissed at Hello Games (and Sony) at the launch of the game, but they've proven this philosophy, and their class, over and over again since then. Something you can only do over time anyway.

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

    This is a man that cannot see the forest for the trees. But it is the same mistake that has been made for decades now. The price of electricity should not include profits for paying the salaries of anybody not involved with the provision of electricity. Nor to pay for infrastructure not...

    US Politics: Full Transp██████

    Well Botox is made from all natural toxins extracted from bacteria. More precisely than a "toxin" even, it is classified as a potent virulence factor / nutrient acquisition chemical substance.

    Whitey Basson says keeping Starlink out of SA is discouraging investment in rural areas

    While it has been obvious from the start that a service like Starlink could benefit rural areas a lot. Musk is a very political creature these days. And I wouldn't say that he showered himself with credibility (of the relevant kind) when he so severely disrespected the confidential government...

    Ramaphosa dashes Eskom's hopes of keeping control over the grid

    Whatever else. Where electricity is concerned, Ramaphosa has done right by the country. And it's not nothing. At all. Especially considering that the ANC's "broad church" seems to have so many factions that love monopoly, central control everything and at all cost, and of course the...

    Sishen ore mine in the Northern Cape to get 62MW embedded solar power

    Win-win everything considered. Should also theoretically lower prices for regular consumers. Traditionally the power supplied to heavy industrial users tend to be heavily cross-subsidised via inflated bills pounding normal consumer wallets. And yeah - That such heavy industrial users can help...

    South Africa's first strategic oil boost since apartheid

    Laos just banned the import of new petrol/diesel passenger cars outright. A direct and effective response to a world where all the oil giants are having silent, and sometimes not so silent, conniptions as they start feeling it. I'm confident that by next year another dozen or so countries will...

    South Africa's first strategic oil boost since apartheid

    They can rather spend the money on electrification. 5% of the world's passenger car fleet/stock is now already EVs. Before we know it, it will be 25%, and then 50...
