@npub1wuw…pjs5 nope. Tried both buttons and different Browsers. If you check store availability on the main product page, it gives you the stores with availability, but upon check-out they demand location services. Dark Pattern!

@npub1wuw…pjs5 those plugs are running off Solar. The only thing still on Eskom is the Geyser, Stove (which I don't use) and the Ceiling Lights. So Eskom can po*s off now 😅

@npub1wuw…pjs5 yes, the prices are mind-boggling indeed - I guess SARS takes a huge chunk too, as a full import. But beautiful and they finally got the proportioning right 😜. I have a late model 750GS to whisk around town and thought of upgrading by 2 yrs just for the Keyless Start and TFT screen - but then finally got to my senses, after reading some of the forum entries. These bikes can really last a while and we need to get out of this bad habit of buying new every 2-5 years.

@npub1wuw…pjs5 I just wished there is a way to read/check what all this RFID stuff transmits - the same goes with BLE amd NFC on SmartPhones. The dangers and what exactly happens, appears very badly researched/documented at present.

a good reason to no longer shop at @'home #SouthAfrica - items now bearing #RFID Tags and I wonder what data is transmitted and stolen through this 'feature' - it gives me the creeps to say the least. Can anyone shed some light if and what data can be transmitted? Location Data through Smartphone's / Home Router's BLE? Tracking shoppers through a Mall? Profiling? #privacy #masssurveillance #tracking

"Dudu Myeni is accused of receiving bribes including security upgrades for her home from the company, Bosasa.
It has been implicated in numerous corrupt deals during Jacob Zuma's presidency.
Last year a Commission of Inquiry concluded that Ms Myeni had influenced Mr Zuma to favour Bosasa, which was awarded government contracts worth more than $100m (£82m).
A director with a subsidiary of Bosasa, Trevor Mathenjwa, was also charged with corruption. ..." ~ BBC Africa #SouthAfrica #Zupta
