Where has @rosescordial1 ginger gone? Not even a goodbye.

[Philip Norton @phinor]

@SamsungMobileSA Debuts are, by their very definition, never seen before. 🤦🏼‍♂️

[Philip Norton @phinor]

@webafrica Why can't we just report a line down? If you get lots in an area, then perhaps there might be a problem? Unlikely that an entire suburb needs to be turned off and back on again

[Philip Norton @phinor]

I hate the @webafrica WhatsApp service so much. Entirely impossible to report service outage after hours. Really poor.

[Philip Norton @phinor]

@webafrica New issue. Been waiting for an agent to respond for 1h now. It's an area outage - all my neighbours are out - yet you will want a photo of my devices "to see the lights".

[Philip Norton @phinor]

@iammemeloper Off-by-one error. Pity.

@troyhunt They encourage us to try harder and put password complexity restrictions in place to help us.

@Eskom_SA We should have the BRICS conference every day.

[Philip Norton @phinor]

Having a bit of a geeky morning. Fiddled with @EskomSePush's API and discovered @wernerhp's HACs integration to @home_assistant... I now have an automation to check my inverter battery levels and give them a quick 60 min grid charge if they're below 40%. Othwerise, use solar.

@MTNza Did you even try to understand before you sent that message? Shem.

[Philip Norton @phinor]

How is it that @MTNza allows for phishing messages to be sent from "no number"? Can't block, can't report... The link leads to a fake post office website that asks for personal info and, I assume, payment for customs fees or something.

@BizPortalGovZa I can't seem to pay for my annual filing. Clicking "add to cart" does nothing. Phone calls are unanswered. Pls help businesses to remain compliant.

@eThekwiniM I haven't received my rates and utilities account this month. I have tried to log into eservices, but the password reset email doesn't arrive. Please assist?

[Philip Norton @phinor]

For the record, I don't agree that marking the paper out of 143 is the solution, but I will concede that a mark adjustment will sort out the issues.

WTF @webafrica ??? SPAM much?

@qikipedia @LakeSuperior 👀

[Philip Norton @phinor]

That's still about seventeen Des Van Rooyens.

[Philip Norton @phinor]

I'm stupefied. Please let this be fake.

[Philip Norton @phinor]

In this code, @phpstan reports a conflicting return type. Any ideas on how to solve? Or just don't use array_walk to change types? https://t.co/hxfc95vYde
