    New 15-inch MacBook Air launched

    Not really. This 15” model is the same size as the intel-based 13” MacBook Air. They shrunk the bezels to create a 15” that’s the same size as a 13”. Definitely still ultra light and ultra portable.

    Apple Pay South Africa

    Same for me. I tried two FNB cards now. Both rejected.

    Apple Pay South Africa

    I had to reread that first sentence two or three times to lineup all the “were”s in my head.

    Where to buy a Dell XPS 13 Developer Edition

    Same for me. I have no need for a laptop bigger than 13”. I currently have a Touch Bar MacBook Pro 13” and it’s more than sufficient. It can also run Ubuntu 20.04 but there’s the odd issue with power management that I still have to fix.

    Where to buy a Dell XPS 13 Developer Edition

    Sometimes it's a different WiFi card compared to the Windows version, other times it's also custom drivers as well as a custom kernel. This time I'm not sure of the differences but here's a link to Ubuntu.com showing the XPS 13 9300's certification info...

    Where to buy a Dell XPS 13 Developer Edition

    I was planning to buy the 2020 XPS 13 sometime in the future and just load Ubuntu on it but this came as a very nice surprise. I think it was worth resurrecting.

    New iMac and MacBook Pro will be Apple's first ARM-powered computers - Report

    I highly doubt Apple would have spent so many years planning to migrate to ARM if it was automatically going to be slower than x86. I think that their software is what will make the difference. I don't think the ARM Macs will be massively faster but they will not be slower . Performance isn't...

    If according to you, gimmicks don’t fix the sport, what will?

    F1 2020 season discussion and chat.

    That’s not new. Mansell did that all the time in his Williams-Honda by pressing the boost button when he needed to overtake. Strangely though, that’s been conveniently forgotten. Other forms of Motorsport use various forms of overtaking assistance but for whatever reason, it’s considered...

    F1 2020 season discussion and chat.

    Agreed. I’ve been watching F1 for years and years and years and there’s always comments about processional races and that we must bring back overtaking but I can’t remember when this gold age of overtaking actually happened. Prost and Senna used to qualify up front, take the lead and vanished...

    I upgraded yesterday from a 7 Plus to a XR. Bought it from Carbonite for R11500, sealed with full warranty. Really enjoying the phone so far.

    How to cancel your Telkom account

    I mailed Telkom and they cancelled my account without issue. They also did the refund thing. I don't know anyone that works there but still got good service. I cancelled my ADSL/Landline and was prepared for a long drawn out fight but it got sorted out quite quickly.

    The incredibly powerful Apple Mac Pro 2019

    You won't go wrong with a Ryzen CPU. I have two Ryzen 2700X based systems and they're amazing. I was hoping that the new Mac Pro would be running Threadripper CPUs but Apple decided to stick with Intel...

    Share your Apple store experience.

    You could also try getting hold of the old aluminium remote that came with the 2nd and 3rd Apple TVs. They also work on the new Apple TVs but are a lot cheaper.
