    Asus Mobo Red DRAM LED problem

    Had the same issue a couple of months ago, believe the issue was the CPU wasn't seated properly after moving the PC.

    The reality of Fibre Speeds

    Agree 100% with most things said, first test on wired network and eliminate the chance of Wi-Fi being an issue, could be the router, phone, random interference from all the electronics around etc. 2 years ago I was on Afrihost ADSL, got shaped a lot and decided to move to Vox, I've never had an...

    OR Tambo's long term parking??

    Looks like they make a difference between Long Term, and Long Stay parking. The long stay parking is right at that Pre-Booked section, if I remember correctly there are multiple gates, some for pre-booked and some for long stay.

    OR Tambo's long term parking??

    Hi, Used it last year and was a breeze, it is on the bottom floor of the parking right at the airport (previously it was off site and you had to take a shuttle to get to the airport terminals) We used this page to book our parking before going...

    Netflix

    I think the best to start is just get a ZA account and start watching, first month is free so try it out, if there are specific shows which aren't available you can always get a VPN later. The amount of content on the ZA region is already so much, the only thing that you might miss are...

    Chromecast Ultra 4k

    Hi, Also have the same chromecast, going on 2 years now probably. Haven't had issues but mine is also connected via the Ethernet connection. I think a Chromecast would easily be able to pull down the Wi-Fi network of a standard router. Not sure about hanging on Netflix though, as I don't use...

    Passwords, blackmailing.

    The problem with using the same password everywhere (doesn't matter how strong it is) is that if one site gets hacked, and the site didn't implement proper encryption, you are exposed to the world. Also NEVER enter a password you use somewhere else on a site which doesn't use HTTPS. Since its...

    Telkom fiber, Internet down

    With regards to your connection between the fibre termination and the router, I know that Telkom disables all other ports except LAN1, so you can only connect your Router to that. Checking whether the issue is with your Fibre or ISP: The LOS (Loss of Signal) light - The LOS light must be off...

    Fortnite - Battle royale

    I've only played PUBG, think I've won 4 games out of a total of 200 (1 was total luck, other I played well or with good team mates). But it gets very boring since I struggle to take guys on in close combat, with a 200 ping its just too high for a FPS. If we had South African servers I think it...

    Getting better sound from the TV

    Most TV's support optical out. (Checked and yours does too: https://www.lg.com/uk/tvs/lg-43UJ670V). You can just connect an Optical Out cable between the TV and the AVR, then use that as that Source on the AVR. But since your current AVR is in a different location, you'll require a new AVR and...

    Mechanical gaming keyboards

    I have the the Coolermaster Quickfire MX Brown, really like the MX Brown switches, but they are still too noisy for an open office, at the office I just use my trusty MS Wired 600 keyboard. But at the time there wasn't MX Silent switches, maybe I need to look into those.

    Learning a Development Language

    If I were you, I'd use the time to learn a new language (Python, C# whatever), build up some production experience in the current environment and then use that to get a new job. As the above sounds terrible, unless the pay is crazy. With that said, Python is probably one of the easiest...

    Maths problem

    Intuition would have me saying 3/4 But the experts think otherwise:  https://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=x+%3D+6%C3%B72(1%2B3)

    Which router....

    In my opinion, keep the current router, disable the wifi on it and get a proper access point like this: https://www.geewiz.co.za/unifi/19683-ubiquiti-unifi-dual-band-ac-long-range-ap.html Bit more expensive but you won't regret it.

    DIY outdoor projector screen

    Hi Morne, It would probably depend on the size and what you plan on spending. I built a 90inch DIY screen with block-out curtain from Metro, pieces of wood from builders-warehouse and some L brackets. Total was around R850 and probably took 2 or 3 hours. I then just hang the screen like a...

    router issues

    I'd keep the router and add a dedicated Access Point on your network which you can connect via ethernet. The difference these AP's made in our office was outstanding, quite expensive but I feel its worth it, especially since there are so many devices...
