@CityPowerJhb @DadaMorero @CityofJoburgZA Still no electricity. Have spent 30+ minutes on hold with "escalation line" multiple times only to get dropped as soon as #1 in queue. Day 4 no power, no feedback, no explanation, no accountability. #TimeForChange #RatesBoycott

@CityPowerJhb Still no electricity after 3 days. CPWEB5059858 - no movement, no explanation, no ETA. @DadaMorero @CityofJoburgZA JHB is falling apart - no electricity, no refuse collection, just increasing bills.

"holiday" is just SOC terminology for "the universe has scheduled an incident response exercise for you."

@sarstax how is it ok to message taxpayers with an amount outstanding which includes penalties - before the penalties would be due, and AFTER the tax has been paid? @wendyknowler

@ferialhaffajee I think he missed the decimal. 8,2% is closer to the lived experience for residents!

@TotsShelly @Michael54863926 He also said “You may need to take a spade.” No flies on that boy!

@SimplyMegszcpt @Handre @MYANC @Treasury_RSA @InforegulatorSA Fair point.

This is insane.

The same South African government agency that wants you to report your crypto holdings to them just leaked the email addresses of everyone who submitted their objections to this policy - one primary objection being the personal danger of leaking the information that you are a crypto holder.

@CityofJoburgZA @DadaMorero @JoburgMetrobus @JoburgMPD metrobus driver ignoring red light and rules of the road, Harley Street, Ferndale. One example of many. Please enforce the rules of the road!!!

‼️🚨 Microsoft calls this "intended behaviour," so here we go.

How to dump the credentials of every user stored in Microsoft Edge:

1. Open Edge. Don't browse anywhere, just open it.
2. Flip to Task Manager, find Edge, expand the task.
3. Highlight the "browser" sub-task, right-click, and choose "Create Memory Dump."
4. Open the dump file and look for credentials.

The logged-in Windows user can dump every stored Edge credential with no additional rights. Which means any malware that user executes has those credentials for the asking.

Just heading off to visit Oradour-sur-Glane for the first time, a location I have wanted to visit for a long time.

‘Down this road on a summer day in 1944, the soldiers came. Nobody lives here now. They stayed only a few hours. When they had gone, the community, which had lived for a thousand years, was dead. This is Oradour-sur-Glane, in France.’
