    Users report mystery 4GB Google file installed on their PCs

    The issue is that all of these features which compromise privacy, are not opt in, and not always even opt out. Google has taken the opposite trajectory to it's "Don't be evil" slogan. Remember Chrome's `software_reporter_tool.exe`?

    Forcing South Africa to adopt a new plug and socket standard will cause more problems than it solves

    Professor Jan Havenga says the Gautrain expansion plan needs a rethink

    By this math, it could easily take R500 billion or half a R1 Trillion to complete? So how much was it carrying before the Covid? Is the current usage more or less than before? How are ticket prices and parking prices impacting this?
