    The end of work-from-home in South Africa

    Some big corporates are going to have to carefully weigh up how they want to implement that because smaller companies will continue to offer it as a competitive benefit over being required to do 5 days a week in some bland office.

    Cool Ideas Fibre ISP – Feedback Thread 6

    I'm seeing lots of drops today. Seems to totally die for 10-20 seconds, then come back. Doing tracerts doesn't reveal anything at the point of doing them so this appears to be an intermittent problem. Frustrating stuff.

    I seem to be experiencing periodic drops of connectivity. For like 10 seconds at a time, I can't ping or get to any website. Then it comes back and works fine for a while before happening again. Anyone else seeing this? In Cape Town, Octotel. Edit: doing regular ping tests from the cmd prompt...

    Xbox Series X / S

    You're a dreamer, and thats nice, but there are many other businesses out there that would be far better/easier for a local entrepreneur to entertain. The success of a console comes down to the games made for it. That's why Sony and Microsoft have been waring over exclusive titles for years. So...

    Rocksteady Studios Hit With Layoffs Following Suicide Squad Underperformance

    And once again we look at: 1) Monetization strategy - $40 entry when all of your peers are giving people entry for free. Why would I pay for this? What compelling reason is there? 2) Marketing - was there any real marketing here? Any trailers, any hype, any influencers running campaigns...

    Rocksteady Studios Hit With Layoffs Following Suicide Squad Underperformance

    Gaming as an industry is really one of the most competitive industries in the world. There is unlimited choice on what to play and I have a backlog of games I haven't even installed yet. So when you make a game you have to be really locked in on what the market wants and who your market is. A...

    Hey guys - I just got my new Cudy Router today and while it seems to be working great, I cannot seem to login to it to update the network name etc. The router says the password should be 'admin', but its not. Am I doing something wrong here?

    Trump or Harris?

    thats why polls like this are so interesting. it gives a view as to what the MyBB audience thinks. Youtube definitely leans Trump / Right. Reddit undoubtedly praises Kamala / Left. News sources seem partial to their favourites. It makes it incredible hard to get an accurate view of what the...

    Trump or Harris?

    That's never going to happen. He's essentially the Conspiracy Theory Party of the US. Every time he's speaking at something other than a random podcast, you can see the struggle in his eyes to jus stay on point with party-specific messaging and not dive into the rabbit hole and start rambling on...

    Trump or Harris?

    Like I said, he's certainly not the most ideal candidate, but I relate more to the right than I do the left. In fact I would regard myself as being bang in the middle, but I think Trumps focus on supporting businesses and making money for the US is far more appealing to me than Kamala telling us...

    Trump or Harris?

    I think there are some fundamental problems with society at the moment and a lot of it is driven by the discourse of the day in the USA. When you look left, the wokeness is absolutely crazy. When you look right, the deep deep conspiracy theories (Anti-vax etc) is equally crazy. I hope that...

    Trump or Harris?

    this is one of those things where we're going to see if America has really changed in the last decade or so. A female? A black female? For president? I reckon a lot of Americans just wont be able to tick that box for her. If Donald Trump is anything, he's 'familiar'. A better the devil you know...

    Paris Olympics organizers say they meant no disrespect with ‘Last Supper’ tableau

    I mean you can choose to be offended or not irrespective of where you sit on the issue. That said though, what they did was pretty disrespectful to everyone that is a Christian, which is about 30% of the entire planet. The religious aspects of it aside, why was that kid sitting in front of...

    Cool Ideas Fibre ISP – Feedback Thread 6

    Unrelated to connectivity but is there any way to update the firmware on the TP Link AC750 Archer C20 routers? Mine does this thing where intermittently the connectivity will just freeze for 5-30 seconds and then come back. It makes reliable wifi usage impossible and the firmware I tried to...

    Takealot positioning Superbalist to compete with Temu and Shein

    i thought Takealot were looking to sell Superbalist? Or something along those lines. I dont think that brand has the focus it needs to succeed.
