    Breaking DStv's sports rights monopoly without hindering sports funding and development

    What's much more likely to happen is that SA test series vs. India, Eng & Aus will be on DSTV because they will outbid everyone, vs NZ will be on some random eTV channel on OpenView and SABC will get the series against Bangladesh for free but will choose not to broadcast the tests & ODIs at all...

    Excitement and consequent anxiety over new opportunity

    Like you would for the house, sometimes you've just got to swallow it and move on. However, if it really excites you, there's nothing stopping it from being a long term chase. Thank them for the chance to interview, toss in a few sentences that go something along the lines of "Ah, I thought I'd...

    Mango ticket holders to experience "cold comforts of the concurrent creditor"

    Asking for a friend (for reals hey), could you do a chargeback on your CC to recover your money?

    Software developer salaries in 2021

    Is that surprising though? The vast majority of junior to intermediate developer positions in SA are interchangeable. When I earned the CJI related salary, I was doing CJ job ad status work, which is bog standard web dev at a pretty unchallenging level at a fairly uninteresting company with no...

    Software developer salaries in 2021

    Every time I see the CJI, I wonder if either it's completely nonsensical or I should thank my lucky stars I work where I do. Seeing as this has spread over multiple jobs now, I'm veering towards the former. The only time the numbers actually made sense was when I worked for CJ.

    Despite being insolvent, the SA Post Office wants to take on South Africa's top couriers

    And suddenly the market for 1kg lead weights goes through the roof.

    DStv Explora Ultra vs Explora 3 - Why the new Explora is a "must-have"

    Even if the only set top box you've ever seen was the Explora 3, this would be underwhelming. Seeing as there are things like the Mi Box S on store shelves (which in and of itself is an underwhelming set top box compared to a Nvidia Shield TV or Apple TV) and it'll likely cost more than that...

    ShowMax Pro has been launched in South Africa and includes a limited sports offering

    If it had Motorsport, Tennis, Cricket & Rugby it would have been an automatic switch. Mobile SD is lol, my phone has a higher resolution than my ancient TV.

    South Africa is changing its marriage laws

    Sure, but there's no reason for one fairy tale to be automagically accredited and another not, if they're both essentially the same story. This was just straight up Adam and Eve, not Adam & Eve & Eve & Steve where it's more complicated.

    South Africa is changing its marriage laws

    Frivolity aside, this is a pretty important thing. It's completely absurd that this has taken so long. There was absolutely no reason to not recognise a non-Christian marriage at the ceremony and it's left a trail of unscrupulous people who think they can just do a "traditional" divorce...

    What do you miss the most during the lockdown?

    Literally just the ability to go out. Also the office, I've had enough of this WFH nonsense.

    No petrol money? 'Dudu Myeni has known about the court dates for two years'

    Love looking for all those little extra details, like the shower brooch.

    Restaurants warns of job cuts in wake of minimum wage

    If that ever happens, the first thing I'm doing is writing a NFC/QR Tap 'n Pay tip app and skim a bit of commission off the top.

    The benefits of dark mode

    I like it, makes me feel like I'm on the the old Prophecy forums back in the 90s.

    How many cars have you had in your lifetime?

    1989 My grandpa's BMW 325i - I blew the engine on the banked curves outside Hammarsdale. I maintain to this day that it wasn't my fault. 1997 Opel Astra Euro 200ise - There was a timing chain failure. 1995 Toyota Camry 3.0 V6 - Traded it in for the wife's car in 2013 2007 Peugeot 407 - Expensive...

    Huawei P20 / P20 Plus

    Has anyone had any wierd WiFi issues? Ever since the update, my P20 Pro won't connect to and can't even see the 5ghz portion of my UniFi network. It can see and connect to standalone 2.5 & 5ghz networks.

    Ordering From Amazon.com Affordable in SA?

    Considering it was an international import, it was almost certainly grey. There's some bit of blah on their terms and conditions that states that the warrantee is what their supplier offered, which raru wasted no time in pointing out but they've never lied, they just omitted any mention of a...
