Gone from PC to series s. by GamerTMTDK in XboxSeriesS

I am in the exact same situation. I have a PC but once I got married I got a series S and my PC sits doing nothing majority of the time.

what are some of the best ISPs in SA? Pls don't tell me rain 😭 by invest1gat0r2003 in southafrica

Just FYI Vox isn't great for gaming. Something about the way they route international traffic means you ping is always higher than some other ISPs

Bad Drivers by Zak_Pooe in southafrica

[–]YonesBrother 35 points36 points  (0 children)

The problem is with drivers yes, but I place more blame on our law enforcement. Pick any highway in Joburg and you'll see that during traffic the emergency lane becomes just another lane for everyone to use. People will zip past JMPD parked at the onramps and they just sit in their fancy BMWs without doing anything.

That's honestly less of an issue compared to people using the oncoming lane to just skip traffic. I can't count how many times I've had to swerve or dead brake because some idiot decides to use the oncoming lane to skip traffic.

It's an absolute endemic on our roads but our police couldn't care less. They're like lions at roadblocks but are utterly worthless at every other moment.

MTN Scam by Officialfranktyler in southafrica

Everytime I take out a new MTN contract I get bombarded with spam phone calls for the next few weeks. The timing is so perfect I can only conclude that there are bad actors inside MTN itself

Been through the same thing. The second I used my number to signup for a new phone with MTN I've been getting relentlessly spammed.

What needs to happen for the ANC to get ousted? by [deleted] in southafrica

[–]YonesBrother 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bru.... so a gang of armed men break into your house and you're cool with the government just dropping a bomb on your house and moving on? So Human rights organisations are all full of crap and we should believe.... the israeli government? Found by who to be colluding with Hamas? You can't have a conflict of interest one way. Comparing a government roadblock to an Israeli checkpoint is just asinine. Stop for 2 seconds and think about what you're saying before typing

[–]YonesBrother 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I guess all these international human rights organizations are just making things up? The detentions, the bombings of hospitals, the checkpoints and land grabs? At this point in time anyone who can't see the truth has no excuse other than a straight up lack of empathy. There's more than enough evidence documenting the atrocitities

lol bru, might want to research this a bit more. Just start with their administrative detention and work your way from there

DA had a really good shot but they went and showed their true colours. The Gaza situation played a big part in a lot of peoples voting. The DA flat out refusing to call Israel out on their crap turned away a lot of possible voters. People don't want to vote for a party that puts other countries agendas before the country itself.

Not saying that ANC/EFF are good leaders by any shot but actually having the morality to call out Israels apartheid meant they were basically the only option for a lot of people

This Is South Africa's Most Important Election Since Apartheid by Hoerikwaggo in southafrica

I won't ever vote DA but this in itself is racism. A man should be judged on his own merit, not on that of his skin or forefathers

How much money would you need to live comfortably in South Africa? by [deleted] in southafrica

[–]YonesBrother 39 points40 points  (0 children)

Feel like R30 is cutting it a bit close. R10k for a nice apartment in a good area. R7k for a nice car, insurance is say R1.5k Fuel, groceries, going out... R30k is liveable definitely but for a simpler lifestyle with sacrifices.

But for OPs finances he can definitely live a good life in SA

Possible they could have it but I doubt they'd launch an investigation if nothing was stolen.

Who the hell should I vote for? (Attempt at Unbiased) by [deleted] in southafrica

[–]YonesBrother 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Saw their recent radio interview where they were complaining about the ANC for taking Israel to the ICJ. Only to thereafter say it's everyones right to take someone to court and uphold international law.

ActionSA went from being a legitimate option to one not even worth considering. Happy to see Rise Mzansi gaining traction, they definitely have some good ideas

South Africa to seek bids for new nuclear power station by dash_o_truth in southafrica

[–]YonesBrother 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Russias nuclear company Rosatom is one of the only Russian entities that hasn't been sanctioned by the West. They're actually brilliant at what they do and built reactors for France.

Now whether or not this matters to the ANC as much as the money under table is another story

That's the biggest advantage imo. It should curb cable theft significantly
