    Afrihost Mobile Feedback

    I've recently ported to AirMobile and saw my device failing to stay on the LTE network during standard voice calls. I used the Android debugger and got carrier_volte_provisioned_bool=false and SERVICE_OPTION_NOT_SUBSCRIBED(0x21) errors during the IMS registration attempt, indicating that VoLTE...

    PCIe x1 Riser

    My friend recently built a new PC. The motherboard does not have built-in WiFi or Bluetooth but he is looking to get a PCIe x1 WiFi card. The problem is that it is an mATX motherboard and the GPU pretty much blocks the PCIe x1 slot. It is more or less just accessible, but anything that will...

    Wootvision Monitors from Wootware. Great price, but are they good?

    I recently got the 27Q I100, having upgraded from a more than 10 year old TN panel. It's an amazing monitor so far, especially considering the price. I've mounted it on a monitor arm so cannot really comment on the included stand. The only weird thing I've noticed is with static images of some...

    Wireless Headphones Battery Replacement

    Looks like this will match your model: It will be a similar approach for most headphones: Remove earpads to gain access to screws Unscrew and remove cap on the battery side (taking care to not damage the small wires connecting to the audio driver) Pry the older battery from the device (it is...

    Wireless Headphones Battery Replacement

    I'm looking to replace the batteries in a couple of my old wireless headsets, including a Corsair HS70 Pro and a Sennheiser Momentum 2.0 Wireless. I've managed to find a matching model for the Corsair at Communica...

    TV Built-In Steam Link App Issues

    Most likely what I'm going to end up doing. But looks like the main thing is to run Moonlight or Steam Link on a dedicated device connected via HDMI rather than as an App directly on the TV in order to avoid input lag caused by the TV's image processing, or am I missing something here? Also...

    TV Built-In Steam Link App Issues

    I have a TCL TV which runs Google TV and thus has a built-in Steam Link App. My gaming PC is upstairs and the TV downstairs, however, they are both connected to the LAN via a Gbps ethernet connection. I'm experiencing notable input latency (feels like around 400-500ms) which makes it almost...

    MTN has tested switching off 3G in Cape Town neighbourhoods

    What will this mean for people with a Google Pixel device which doesn't support VoLTE in South Africa?

    TV Recommendations - TCL vs Sony

    Hi everyone, I'm upgrading from a very old 1080p Samsung that I've been using with a 2nd gen Chromecast. 1st choice would be something with Google TV built-in so that I can use the Steam Link app. Mainly going to be using it to watch sport and movies and occasionally some casual gaming via the...

    Home WiFi network suggestions

    Awesome, I have a little NUC lying around that currently runs a VPN Server that can probably run the controller software as well. Any suggestions for a router to pair with the Unifi APs then?

    Home WiFi network suggestions

    Will be moving into a new house and I'm hoping to lay down a solid WiFi network in the new place. (After having to reset my current router multiple times a week). It is a 350m2 double story with the Fibre connection point approximately in the middle on the ground floor. There is a LAN cable...

    Best places to advertise gaming PC?

    Yeah I think the best approach would be to rather hand it to someone in need of it. It can still handle modern e-sports titles on full at 1080P and modern AAA titles on lower settings as well. The biggest problem is that the big Thermaltake case doesn't really have the wife approval factor :P...

    Best places to advertise gaming PC?

    Thanks for the recommendations. I'm also not sure what to go for price wise. I realise this is one thing that probably doesn't hold value well. So if you have any recommendations on a suitable price range that'll be great! The specifications are as follows: CPU: Intel Core i7 930 @ 2.8GHz PSU...

    Best places to advertise gaming PC?

    I unfortunately no longer have proper time for gaming and I don't have any younger siblings to pass my gaming PC on to. So I'm considering selling it. However, I'm not sure where would be ideal to advertise it. I don't think a Cash Crusaders, for example, will have any respect for the hardware...

    First Investment in Solar

    On top of the current load shedding, our area has been subjected to frequent power outages due to a troublesome substation and cable theft. I've finally decided to take the plunge and invest in solar power to achieve the following: 1. Continue to run critical components throughout power cuts /...
