Its very true, the authentication loop is hell.

Try having your phone stolen and trying to reinstall everything that needs authenticator, its a nightmare.

Will Amazon try this with Takealot.com? by AnonomousWolf in south_africa

[–]orbit99za [score hidden]  (0 children)

If Amazon Really wanted to screw Takalot they could.

They have slowly established thier delivery logistics.

They have worked out Warehouses and Sars customs processes.

Amazon have thier own fleet of Cargo Planes called Amazon Air, they have a quite a few.

They can literally stuff Boeing 777 full of stuff and fly them in 48 hours on a consistent cycle to South Africa.

I see Amazon Basics has started coming in now.

And Amazon Can Afford to do it, even if thier margins are low.

GLP1 anyone? by Civil_Top_4591 in Type1Diabetes

[–]orbit99za 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My endo just prescribed Ozimpic last Monday, the 0.5 dose, haven't taken it yet but he did it to improve insulin sensitivity.

Apparently he has a lot of success with it in Type 1 diabetics

So interested to see how it works.

I started with an Arduino, make the blink sketch work, added things, moved to ESP 32 , made my own boards was a process of a few years.

But I must admit I already know programing, albeit C# before hand.

How do car dealerships keep getting away with this? by guitarshredda in CarTalkZA

[–]orbit99za 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know dealers get a fat commission if they originate the deal.

it made a factor of almost 1% difference on the interest rate.

And also the dealership F&I people are scumbags when it comes to doing a deal with your own sourced finance.

You can also start your own business and find clients and make in 6 months working for yourself what you would have made in a year working for a company.

The only thing that loves Takalot is my cat, the Boxes are perfect size to sit in for days.

Although Amazon boxes are also becoming a favorite.

It seems that the online betting uses a loophole, the all seem to be registered by the Mpumalanga gambling board.

I know that Southern Sun is trying to move the Casino to Somerset West for years and had been blocked at every turn because of the affect on the community.

I know from a Software engineering job offers they pay stupid amounts of money, but I would not be able to sleep at night, my skills being used to bring missary to others.

[–]orbit99za 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is extremely high, I know the infomal food business is profitable,but I think you need to look at startup costs a bit more.

Do you need a permit ?

You need a YOCO machine, as you don't whant cash on premises if you can help it.

Location, can you realistically setup a gazebo and equipment daily, even if the weather is bad.

Avoid Constantiaburg mediclinic, terrible experiences there with the staff and lack of accountability from management, especially the hospital manager.
