@KaiXCreator Never buy a 16GB RAM Windows laptop in 2026*

@ClarksonsFarm1 Common sense

@penuelist_ More than 4GW of private solar was added during that period. That’s equal to 4 stages of loadshedding, giving Eskom some breathing room.
Unfortunately a lot of what André de Ruyter put in place to improve Eskom only really started making a difference after he left

@NASAArtemis will we land on the moon before GTA6 launches?

@NASAArtemis how does communication with the capsule work while in orbit?

@AppleSupport Could you please explain how this is the support we receive? No requests, no feedback, just this email.
I filled in everything, I provided all information needed. Opening the link has no options for ABM, so how on earth do I get us registered?

@rainSouthAfrica An update: I have received a call. Got passed between 5 agents, each time being told that it’s not their dept. I was then told it would be escalated, I have not received a call since

[Conraad (Pty) Ltd. @lover_of_bacon]

@rainSouthAfrica waited two years for my slot to get GeForce Now, I can go through the whole process before being told that Im not eligible for this package. I spent more than an hour with your support team, being shuffled from agent to agent with no one being able to help. What?

[Conraad (Pty) Ltd. @lover_of_bacon]

@MTNza How is it that your support line does not even have an option to speak to an agent? My brand new router won’t connect and there appears to be no way to contact anyone about it

Congrats to @LinusTech on the Commuter Backpack launch! Looks great. What an amazing product.

We were in the process of trashing ours, then realized it could be used to farm engagement instead.

RT to win a free Commuter Backpack, shipped anywhere in the world. We'll pick one winner in 24 hours.

@DTSiPanda @420romcia @Titan144p @andrefmmorais @MaazMz @Double_Lamekid @PatrickVogelius @immasiddtweets No, they make a streaming device so fast that literally no TV out there can match it.

TV’s are nice and snappy in the beginning but they all use crappy SoC’s that just don’t last all that long.

The Apple TV runs circles around them in the performance department

@enik342 @DreemBigger_ @MaazMz @superstar198440 @Roei_Dayan @immasiddtweets There’s a complicated explanation, it had to do with sleep states and Windows hibernation/sleep not working as intended

[Conraad (Pty) Ltd. @lover_of_bacon]

@MaazMz @Smartsideoftech @immasiddtweets Not on an OS level, it’s not built from the ground up to do it like the Mac is. These features are part of the operating system itself.

Samsung laptops run Windows, so it’ll never truly be integrated at an OS level

@RealAbester @jakepaul The 720p comment got me😂

[Conraad (Pty) Ltd. @lover_of_bacon]

@Sheikh_Er_Pola @kylecoolky @MaazMz @immasiddtweets Look, agreed, but as long as they require applications running on an operating system that is not theirs, it won’t measure up. It just can’t

[Conraad (Pty) Ltd. @lover_of_bacon]

@Elger57005154 @kylecoolky @MaazMz @immasiddtweets In a plethora of real world tests, nothing mobile touches the M4 Max, especially not single threaded tasks

[Conraad (Pty) Ltd. @lover_of_bacon]

@allistakenbro @kylecoolky @MaazMz @immasiddtweets Listen, I’ll agree that RAM and storage upgrades for Macs are wildly overpriced. But I’d still pay it because once you actually use a Mac (especially long term) the difference is night and day. Reliability and long term ownership makes it a different discussion

[Conraad (Pty) Ltd. @lover_of_bacon]

@MaazMz @Smartsideoftech @immasiddtweets [2] answering calls on whatever device is closest to you. Lots of apps ons Windows can do the same, but none as well as the Apple ecosystem can. It just works, which is worth more than Windows users even realise or understand
