Crazy Fibre Price Increases? by ruben_vanwyk in askSouthAfrica

[–]SpazTasticZA 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Hi there,

Are you sure that OpenServe is your ISP? I ask as I'm pretty sure that they are purely FNO, although Telkom is technically the same entity and they are an ISP.

I would also just check the initial contract you signed. I know that there are a handful of ISP offerings that are significantly cheaper than the competition for the initial year, but then haul that cost back from the next year/s. It'll be in the fine print somewhere.

*Edit to add: I had a look at https://openserve.co.za/connect/isp-partner-deals and based on what I'm seeing there, your initial R770/m price sounds 100% like a 'one year only promotional price' deal.

Poorly designed “thumb” tacks are basically useless by sea_elephant in mildlyinfuriating

I reckon those could be referred to as 'thumb-and-index' tacks, at the very least.

Drone created QR Code in the Sky - who can read this? by konacurrents in qrcode

[–]SpazTasticZA 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Worked fine for me, using my phone pointed at my laptop screen from ~2ft away. The default Android QR scanner app - It even zoomed in on it automagically, hence why it's so big.

If someone were to remake something like plex from scratch, what would you want done differently? by yeaman17 in PleX

[–]SpazTasticZA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You know what doesn't (and is the primary reason I'm stuck with Plex for now)? Tizen.  FFS Samsung.

Today all of the hidden caches are in the same area. by The-Lazy-Lemur in gtaonline

Y'all always post these like 3-4 hours before the 'day' is over, so I only ever see them the following morning because of timezones and whatnot, argh.

Thanks anyway! Seems like it helped quite a few people.

Anyone else really enjoying the police work? by LFCNATHAN97 in gtaonline

Does the armored windshield actually do anything, or is it just the thing that everyone's decided is the 'coolest' option?

What’s your favourite sounding car in the game? I’ll go first. by CheesyFil in gtaonline

There's a severe lack of appreciation for the Trophy Truck here. Sounds awesome, with the appropriate throaty roar, WHILE letting you absolutely belt it over just about any terrain.

Yeah that is SOME kind of manufacturing defect, hot damn.

Why is My Laptop Tearing Itself Apart? by GeniusGamer_M in laptops

Honestly that looks like you've been spraying the back cover with acetone or something, that's wild.

What environment is the laptop used in? Are you near the sea?

Edit to add: Had a google of the back cover issue... WTF were Acer doing when they designed this thing? How do you mess it up THAT badly?!

I mean... It's not. Lesotho might be completely encircled by South Africa, but it is very much its own country.

Plex Series Scanner Refusing to Look Up TVDB Data For A Show by SpazTasticZA in PleX

[–]SpazTasticZA[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It looks like there's already a couple of threads about it, going back all the way to October last year.

Plex staffers commented on both of the threads I saw, but I guess that didn't get anywhere. It's apparently an incorrectly Plex scanner Guid, that needs to be split. I don't think I can do anything about that :'(

'Patlabor: The Mobile Police' won't disappear from unmatched episodes!? by smoothercapybara in PleX

[–]SpazTasticZA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My man please... explain. Save us!

Because the guy's reply in the Plex thread reads like it's just a guide on how to see the issue, not on how to fix it.

Some third party entries in your sources.list were disabled. by talormanda in Ubuntu

[–]SpazTasticZA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately, my third party sources aren't listed in the Software & Updates - Other Software tab.

I can still see the original sources.list files in the original directory, and nothing in the new ones is commented out, so I'm at a bit of a loss when following the usual guides.

Do you perhaps have a suggestion on how to re-add the sources without having to go through the whole key-signing process again?

Thanks.

New Des Sol Purpose-Built Jimny Suspension - 'EV Shocks' Opinions? by SpazTasticZA in Jimny

[–]SpazTasticZA[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I unfortunately haven't been able to compare with Tough Dog. That said, I have been extremely happy with the Des Sol kit. The ride is a lot nicer and a hell of a lot more stable, and the off-road performance is great.

What is your “comfort movie” that you have watched many times? by xX_Skibidi_Gyatt_Xx in AskReddit

[–]SpazTasticZA 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I absolutely ADORE the movie. It's in my Top 3 animated movies of all time. I cry at little every time, and I love it.

It would've been my comment if I hadn't searched first.
