    Advice on a 65 Inch TV

    Thanks, I have tried but their view it was due to physical damage so not covered by warranty. I have kids in the house so I can't completely rule that out, but it just seems odd that the panel is cracked without the glass being damaged.

    Advice on a 65 Inch TV

    My 3 year old Hisense 65U8G just decided to fail - internal crack in the panel with no physical damage on the glass...weird af. Does anyone know of any new 65 inch TV deals? Looking at maybe TCL or Toshiba, budget around R10k as I will be renting out my place next year so don't want to spend too...

    Does anyone perhaps know whether any network operators still do the trade-in deals?

    The Battery Thread (Solar / Inverter)

    Looking for some advice - with loadshedding scaled back, I have not used my inverter in months while it's still been on and running. Does this diminish the life of the battery and inverter, and should I switch it off? It is Sunsynk, grid-tied but no solar yet. Thanks!

    Is capitec CC still the best option for international swiping?

    Capitec started charging a separate R3 'international processing fee' for every international transaction. It sort of negates the better spread they offer on low value swipes.

    Android Car Radio?

    I think I have a similar radio, it doesn't support Android Auto natively. You need to install an app called Headunit Reloaded from App Store. Try the trial version before buying full version, not too expensive.

    Which hospital to choose for maternity in Cape Town - Life Kingsbury or Mediclinic Constantiaberg?

    Can't speak to Kingsbury, but our first child was born at Constantiaberg. I would not recommend. Doctors were good and on it, but the nurses and support staff were absolutely useless and incompetent. Would just talk between each other about patients all day, wouldn't lift a finger to help new...

    Anyone perhaps get their R10k payout from Regener8 recently? Been more than 10 weeks since I sent my phone in, and keep on getting the same excuse about Samsung not sending the funding yet.

    My initial payment date was moved up 7-10 business days until 2 May. Followed-up twice and received a response that they are awaiting payment from Samsung, and will provide an update on when I will receive payment sometime today.

    Yes you can, similar thing happened to me, got told the phone I traded in was blacklisted even though I bought it 2nd hand with box & accessories, and device still works on all networks. You need to ask them to cancel your first application though.

    Do you buy stuff or have stuff repaired at a Paki (Pakistani) shop?

    They also seem to try their luck with prices. Had them try to charge me R400 for a phone cover that costs $2 on Shein for the exact same. Ended up walking out and the price came down to R120. Needed it urgently so just took it but they're no longer as cheap as before.

    Has anyone tried running Geekbench or Antutu benchmarking on their S24 Ultra? Even after closing all open applications and clearing the RAM, my single core performance is more than 20% lower than where it supposed to be according to other reviews...even lower than the S23 Ultra. Multi-core...

    S21 and up on R10k cashback, S10 and up on contract tariff reduction. Two different sets of T&C's on Samsung website for cash sale vs contract.
