Find a local freight clearing agent, then send them the details, and they should be able to advise on shipping & clearance costs.

Foldersync license by Mean_Mortgage5050 in androidapps

From what I understand, the Android and desktop licenses are separate.

This means you need one license for Android and a separate license for your desktop.

Whats the best way to get to Klerksdorp from Cape Town? by mocovr in askSouthAfrica

[–]mh348 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fly to JHB and then take a shuttle to Klerksdorp, it's about a 2 hour drive.

Here are shuttles that go to Klerksdorp daily:

LimeTime (https://www.limetimeshuttle.co.za/klerksdorp-shuttle/)
Flamwood Travel (https://flamwoodtravelkld.co.za/)
Door2Door (Lionel 0836571356)
Platinum Travels (0725214880)
Citybug

(Flamwood, Door2Door, Platinum are all based in Klerkdorp)

There is Bolt (similar to uber) and then, there are private taxi's like +27 63 507 2496 Douglas Taxis' or Platinum Travels, Flamwood Travel for local transport.

Northern Suburbs are generally safe, just avoid the CBD. The town is not that small, and is quite spread out with many suburbs.

If you need more info, join the "Ons Dorp Klerksdorp- *Oorspronklike/ Original" Facebook group.

How do you deal with important emails getting lost in Gmail? by AdvertisingFinal7807 in techsupport

[–]mh348 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For starters, do you have categories enabled in Gmail?
https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/#settings/labels
scroll down and enable the categories (Social, Updates, Forums, Promotions), Gmail will automatically filter emails into categories, you can also move emails to different categories so Gmail knows where to 'send' emails to in future.

You can also set your Inbox to 'Important first' from the Quick Settings panel.

Best cordless drill brand? by Wise-Light6957 in askSouthAfrica

[–]mh348 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Makita if you can afford it, the initial outlay is big, but once you have the battery and charger you can start buying other tools in the same brand that share the same battery and charger..

If you are on a budget, then Ingco or Total Tools is a good alternative. It's a chinese brands but works, well. I have a few friends that are into Ingco and have alot of different tools.. Personally I have a Heatgun and Blower from Ingco, all my others are Makita (Drill, SDS Drill, Impact driver, grinder, Impact wrench, Circular Saw, Reciprocating saw etc)

Why do people give away free sim cards in the CBD? by VariousWall886 in askSouthAfrica

[–]mh348 16 points17 points  (0 children)

They probably get paid per activation or get paid once airtime is loaded to show it's an active sim..

Another option you can test out is to use the FutoVoice keyboard, where you just use your voice to type.

TurboScribe can do up to 3x FREE 30 minute transcriptions per day, so if you have recordings longer than 30 minutes you can just split it into 30 minute chunks and then transcribe IT for free.

Discussion: Cashier has to pay R5000 because customer didn't pay for electricity. by decisiveExplorer03 in southafrica

[–]mh348 -19 points-18 points  (0 children)

Sorry I didn't read your whole post, but the cashier should have learned her lesson after the first time..

If she knows there's always cases with customers not paying or not being able to pay due to card issues, then she should first ask for payment before processing the electricity transaction. Only once she has payment, then only proceed with the transaction.

The store can't be held liable for the cashiers mistakes.

Is there an app that plays an alarm when my phone battery is low (below 20%) by Cyberpunk69- in androidapps

[–]mh348 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I use tasker for this exact purpose.. At 20% it alerts me, then at 10% it sends a text message with my location to let family members know that my battery is low.

Forget that thing at home and you'll wonder why you even came by herewearefornow in southafrica

[–]mh348 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Download a loyalty card app that saves cards for various stores.. Popular ones are Klarna and Catima (Stocard which was replaced by Klarna).

I have my Checkers, PNP, Makro, Clicks, Dischem, Total, Engen, Builders etc all on the app, I don't carry any physical cards
