    Ellies blames macroeconomic conditions and less load-shedding for R107-million loss

    Wow. I have a small solar company. I tried multiple times to open an account with them. I never got a response. So this isn’t a surprise. It’s not load shedding, it’s their own fault for failing to capitalise properly. Well that’s my point of view. I assume my experience was not an isolated case.

    Africarare's Ubuntuland metaverse - we tried to buy land and were signed up to 13 mailing lists instead

    Sounds like a scam and they’re just collecting email addresses to check interest. Insiders own free “land” then when fake hype hit stupid people will buy nothing at massively high prices. “Early adopters” or in reality scammers will be singing the praise of how profitable the assets is. MTN is a...

    US Firm Oracle Pulls Plug on Eskom

    I would like to have a say on the amount of money initially claimed and why there was a revised amount stated. I’m speaking from my experience at my company. I can’t say for certain this is what happened but I think that my experience is probably not unique in this life so here is my 2c. You...

    Twitter permanently bans Donald Trump

    I’m pretty sure Twitter is not applying the same rules everywhere. What about our politicians? I think they have made more inflammatory remarks.

    Apple's next CPU could take on Intel's best chip

    In other news: The next iPhone will be better than the current one. Comparing the Future to now is slightly amusing. I am excited to see what Apple can do but let's just not sensationalize it too much.

    Reserve Bank believes GDP could grow by over 45% in third quarter

    This is a red herring of note! ZA contracted 50% then COULD expand 45%? ( feels like celebrating our matric pass rates) I’m surprised that the contraction mentioned in the last line of the article is only 8.5%. I thought it would be much worse.

    Garmin reportedly pays multi-million dollar ransom to hackers

    Well, I’m not surprised they had to pay this ransom. I’m on my 3rd replacement watch as the previous units failed under warranty. My sister and wife also have replacement warranty units. ( Vivoactives and vivosmarts -FYI) My opinion is that they cut costs first and worry about the effects...
