    MyBB'ers in the Netherlands

    I don't think there is a general expat thread, otherwise I'd ask there... I currently have a bank account with ABSA that is just costing me money every month, to be specific almost R300 a month. Can I close this account from overseas? Information on the web suggests you have to close the...

    France resists US challenge to its values

    When even your definite and indefinite articles are gendered, along with every single word in your language, it's pretty hard to switch from that. The gendered dedicated words encourage a flowing style of speaking, see the French language concept of liaison.

    MyBB'ers in the Netherlands

    We used these guys: https://www.animal-travel.com/ Very good service and they took very good care of our dog. It was painless and if I knew then what I know now, I would have just gone with them from the start. My wife spent ages sorting through all the paperwork, checking time windows for...

    MyBB'ers in the Netherlands

    KLM dropped my dog from the flight only 4 days before emigrating, despite booking months in advance and checking that it would be fine. It cost me a fortune to find alternative transport at such short notice and in the end I had to do it through an agency despite all the preparation and...

    'I quit' - Reddit users are posting angry resignation texts to their bosses on 'anti-work' subreddit

    I do not think $1200 a month will get you very far. It will cover rent for a really crappy apartment and that's about it.

    Does a non terrible media player exist

    Mi box constantly lags and is just terrible to use. You cannot stream 4K with it, even 1080p is a hit and a miss. I got an Apple TV 4K and it runs like a dream.

    Apple Pay South Africa

    Used AP for the first time today and it is really convenient to just double tap a button on your watch to pay. I don't see myself fiddling with my card again unless the POS device doesn't support tapping.

    Akademia to offer Computer Science degrees

    Don't know if I agree with that. It's an extremely well-known flag in SA, featured prominently on the old SA flag and is/was flown regularly by right-wing groups like the AWB, not all that long ago.

    iPhones May Need Redesign as EU Pushes for Common Charger

    I like the lightning cable, personally. Feels a lot more solid on the connector end than USB-C. However, nothing prevents Apple from continuing to use lightning cables and ports, they would just need to add a USB-C port on their phones as well to satisfy the EU.
