I recently somehow needed to close a chapter that I opened a long time ago but never concluded. Probably nearly 20 years ago I started acquiring parts for a custom watercooled rig. I had bought radiators, fans etc and then I got divorced and all went on hold, never to be continued. Recently -...

Mine was stolen after being in my hands 21 years. Diamond Black evo 1. My heart still bleeds for it. I was in the process of trying to insure it as a classic so had even cancelled the insurance. Book on it was 30k at the time (2012). Was mint with only 144k on the clock

Hi Tech Automotive in PE used to build the Noble M400 as well as Cobra and Daytona replicas under the Superformance brand. They also built the Rossion Q1 which was a redesign of the Noble - I own one of these till today. One of 3 in SA if I’m correct. Hi Tech also was involved in the locally...

Just want to add to this thread. My wife was “almost” caught out by someone doing an ATM deposit on something she was selling. The deposit is made directly into your account which reflects as funds available but actually they insert an empty envelope so the bank will reverse it once they...

That’s a stunning Steyr. So sleek. Where do you compete in FT if I may ask? There used to be a league in JHB a long time ago (at Guthries iirc) but thought it was discontinued

I dont think it’s at all abnormal what you are doing. This is life. Hobbies are an escape for when one has time That being said I do believe that it is important to make time for oneself every once in a while. Technically you do that in the gym every morning but I’m talking about something a...

Used to be cars and watches - but much less nowadays. Big coffee enthusiast with a pretty decent home espresso setup Collector of Japanese hand forged kitchen knives which spun off to add some Western knifemakers and also other types of knives eg hunting knives. Collector and user of Japanese...

The rumours are already circulating about foul play, because he was set to make public issues around the Hollywood **** ring etc. Will be interesting to follow this story and see if anything more comes out

Matthew Perry of Friends fame dies at age 54. RIP

I think LG’s OLED panels are classleading. Failures do happen of course and that’s unlucky. Have you tried contacting LG South Africa to see if they can assist?

I actually do run the Google dns servers

No probs with any other high quality streaming service. Only Qobuz gives problems.

I'm on a 500/250 fibre connection, but I still have issues with stuttering. I have worked out though that I can use it without a VPN, but there must be some server issues on Qobuz' side because I don't get seamless streaming very often

I tried multiple VPN vendors and all returned a similar error. Best bet (if you really want to try get Qobuz working) is to ask someone overseas to open an account for you using their details including their credit card / PayPal and then reimburse them and use the login details they create. I...

Why should I “have to” debug something that doesn’t work as it should? Every other streaming service I use streams without any issue. It’s not my connection that’s the issue. I have more than enough bandwidth at hand. So it’s something on Qobuz end. If you want Qobuz to be more widely adopted...

I just love this pic!! Stunning!!!

I also had 3 Growat’s that I ditched for a single 15Kw Deye inverter (Sunsink is a rebranded Deye). Works brilliantly. Would also love more batteries - I currently have 6 x 3.5kWh Pylontech’s - so 21kWh total battery storage, and 16 x 590w panels. I’d love to take my battery capacity up to 28...

I’m not convinced that local streaming works without a VPN. My first track selection always plays seamlessly without any clipping, but every subsequent track clips (without vpn). I have a decent connection and don’t have issues with any other bandwidth hungry streaming service (video/audio)...

Some feedback on Qobuz locally: I managed to get a friend in the UK to open an account on my behalf and take out a membership. (There was no way I could do it from SA even when using a VPN - they block all VPN addresses I tried). With the account I can now log in locally, and if I don’t use a...
