@midwest This guy's face seriously looks rearranged.

Check out "Narcos" on Netflix
www.netflix.com/title/80025172?source=android
@Meerkat_RSA We're now in the age of so many cameras on a phone. The next LG smartphone will have two cameras in front and three at the rear. Lol that's insane.
@Darkseid Noice. It's really sad how SA barely has anything to show off with in terms of tech though.
@Darkseid Lol and I like it when a "new innovative" system is launched only to find that it was supposed to have been launched years ago.
@Meerkat_RSA It's hard for SABC to decode their 720p to every single screen because of the old Analogue spectrum they're still using.
2034 - A wired ecosystem of cross-brain interaction across the globe.
Apple Event earlier on showcasing the new iPhone line up.
@Darkseid Lol it's hard to imagine that the 7 is still at that price point but I was honestly expecting $899 for the XR with the "eSim"
And the XS being at &999? I was thinking more like $1200 but hey I guess Huawei reall taught them an ass whipping lesson.
I feel sorry for them, I really do, they paid more than what they'll be paying for the XS with way more features. Damn..
@Darkseid And at the keynote they said their A12 Bionic chip is the world's most powerful 7nm processor. I thought the Huawei HiSilicon Kirin 970 was the the world's first and powerful 7nm chip... Lol I respect the specs on that Bionic chip though.
@Meerkat_RSA Not anytime soon though, I doubt they will discontinue because it's their fancy way of saying iPhone "ten"
@Darkseid That iPhone XS Max will be 20K man I swear Lol if not 21K. That's entry level 2017 MacBook levels.
And then there's the Apple Watch Series 4..
@Darkseid ๐ I swear bro, it's going to be one hell of a pricey Machine. Let alone the crippling economy getting it on contract won't make the feeling any better. But then again, we've got TVs as thin as my blunt grade 6 pencil for an insane 180K. I don't have faith in that price when it arrives in SA Lol I swear.
@Meerkat_RSA Nope.
Did anyone go to Comic Con in Kyalami?..
@ZombieQueen Yeah the one in the US is pretty much better๐ . But the one here was awesome as wellโ.
It's really great, just that this one I didn't have a cosplay costume.
Nope I haven't hey, but I wanted to just that the person designing the costume was fully booked, and I wanted to dress up as Thanos.
@Darkseid Nice, you use Dreamweaver or something else?
@Darkseid Lol no idea, but nice. I'm working on a web app. I just got the interest when you mentioned the word "coding"๐
@waHaHa Wish they had the original gran Turismo.
@Meerkat_RSA Yeah.
@Arkator7 It has a cool effect when you scroll up and down.
@Sheamus Ignore Julias and his griefers, he's just one weird guy telling people to take land but doesn't want people near his Sandton crib.
It's history, our history, and it has to be there to remember how the country got here. Not every white person was a racist then in fact De Klerk is the reason Ramaphosa is a president today, we have to respect that.
@Sheamus De Klerk made serious changes to the apartheid policies, look he was no Angel but so isn't Julias. Whilst Julias was the youth league president the dropout rate skyrocketed whilst he was in charge. I see no one ever talking about that in fact if you take a look at his followers they're the most unemployed. Why isn't he using his so "called" connections to establish businesses, and build up youth programmes but instead cashing in on those connections. I see nothing changing in EFF besides more damage to infrastructure that will cost taxpayers more and the government focusing on fixing stuff they shouldn't be focusing on because julias and the clan all they do really is talk and complain.
@Literally_Nobody I know right?! No offence but makes you wonder wtf kinda people we have here Lol. But then again we are not a reading nation, I mean if there was a university course in burning tyres I promise the unemployment rate will sit at 8%. People don't factor in the facts, they react to whatever their leaders put there without thinking about it. Look closely, government mentions expropriation without compensation, people are talking kill whites and take their land back. 2. Government announces investment plans with China, EFF says the Chinese want to steal investment, people are up in arms. 3. Government announces the stimulus package and EFF says it's increasing the wealth of white minority. Look at what happened with BEE, black people looted tenders, had a twisted view about the whole thing. These black people are professionals most of them but the pocket change mentality came into place. If those 8% EFF followers are weird then it begs the question. How many other more weird people do we have. It's not that people are oppressed, it's that the whole "kill the Boer" exposed the amount of people who don't have the knowledge or wisdom to think on their on; they have to piggyback behind parties like EFF.
@Sheamus Hhmm, twisted views don't honestly bring more economic freedom as they claim to. The government has and possibly still is looking to how western countries do about handling their countries. I'm not saying there's anything wrong with that but since colonialism is to blame we tend to forget that Asia was colonized as well. They didn't sit down and point fingers at each, they implemented contingency plans, strong policies and focused on developing the private sector, Asia is far from perfect but they've made such big progress. There's nothing perfect here, unless of course you talk about Ariana Grande then we can excuse the not perfect statement, Lol but even you can see that that's also unrealistic and impossible, which is exactly what we want to do, put unrealistic policies and impossible tasks. Exhibit A, when RISA struck a deal with Universal studios to implement their business model to SA to unseat the USA in terms of music because SA has a vast variety of music especially because of the culture, but USA is built into states and those states aren't small and their variety of music culture will be much bigger than SA's entire music industry combined, hence the "unrealistic" implementations fast tracked by the government. It's not that we are in this state because of colonialism but it's the way in which policies were implemented - government then wasn't focusing on our little economy but rather how our economy can be on par with the states. One field we could've improved was our medical field and then the education field. Those two were two crucial fields strong policies and realistic and possible solutions were supposed to be implemented.
@Sheamus I get that physiologically an economy like this brings low levels of esteem and lack of confidence, but we seriously need to get our shit together and let go of the mediocre surrounding us especially with the media. It's almost like the media is inventing a new type of clickbait and people seem to fall for the nonsense media portrays about south Africa. Someone suggested that we all south Africans should just pack our bags and go on vacation, and possibly leave the country's keys with the neighbors Lol but all in all the statement Rome was not built in one day needs to be understood that Rome wasn't also built by one person. We have to overlook people like Julias whose selling overpriced dreams and focus on the real life situations. It's become such a huge plague that people are settling in with idea of killing farmers who literally have nothing to do with economic uncertainty and then we moved on to killing women who literally did nothing but just merely become women๐.
Electrek: Tesla starts building its own car carriers due to โextreme shortageโ in Model 3 delivery rush week, says Elon Musk.
https://electrek.co/2018/09/24/tesla-building-own-car-carriers-shortage-model-3-delivery-rush-week/
@Sheamus Well said. I think ANC is only letting malema's nonsense materialize because they're between a rock and a hard surface due to elections the following year. Land uncertainty is pushing investors away which poses a problem as well. You can't just rock up on empty land and build up shacks, morally it's seriously rude and lawfully it's illegal. I understand our justice system is beyond repair, but celebrating that the police force have gained more golf GTIs is utterly pathetic. A Polo will do just fine, instead rather that GTI money could be channelled to further enhancing the legacy systems that are prone to fraud and implementing better communication solutions for life threatening situations. Look, the new generation of children cannot suffer the us vs them plague because they literally have nothing to do with racism - we've lost it, parents aren't teaching their kids to dwell away from racism altogether but instead making their children believe between black and white. Not long ago Julias was now attacking the Indians, Lol I honestly feel like that person doesn't deserve to speak because of the level of aids coming from him. But if you say that equal development is becoming a norm again then I guess there's some sort of glimpse of hope. The sad truth is that, the world is moving on and thinking bigger everyday, if we don't catch a wake up, we'll find ourselves without a country to live in.
Noice! Looks fly as fuhhh..
Yeah. Lol.
Lol.
@Sheamus I just have to admit though, some of the municipalities were unnecessary. Lol I feel like if you got the office of the premier then traditional affairs and a few municipalities were just fine but because government.. I'm not in politics or anything associated just that facts outweigh perceptions and that's not the case here. Nonetheless, we as society have to let go of our double standards as @Rendier keeps mentioning, blaming the government the entire time just creates a problem on a problem and we need to respect each other and gain back that humane society we were working towards. Some other stuff are unnecessary and admittedly the older generation has really failed the youth and now it's to Hoping the forthcoming generation moves forward with the unity. Right now people don't even want to work anymore because Grant.. But then go on later to complain about unemployment. Here's a simple scenario, black rural townships complain about food shortages and unemployment. Their houses are only 10m big and the rest is the entire yard, they get access to free water and electricity, why not build up a young farm and get people to help you out (en route employment) and then sell to supermarkets, if you've got the knowledge to understand the whole sassa system then you most definitely have the knowledge to understand simple economics. But instead they'd rather spend money on alcohol and then go tarnish government for not providing food. I'm not trying to talk bad about them, I'm just merely stating facts that sometimes taking steps like these could become a serious change in rural townships. The big cities were once rural areas..
@Sheamus Lol! That's terrible though, seriously terrible. There's so much room for creativity and innovation especially with tourism and farming. We can't be importing mealie meals regardless of the type of technology used on the mealie. Some things we just have stop and rethink the approach. That farm house could've boosted productivity, gotten people into jobs, a bit of CSR (corporate social responsibility) would've been done by subsidising the workers with access to education, that would help the individual and yourself with your business. Eventually the community would follow suite and there you've got your CSR. Still goes back to farm killings, they do a lot of CSR which is unfair to murder them because there are black families that work with them and make a living off of that. Seriously unfair. But back on topic, those shacks bring in no land value and according to UN they're supposed to be uninhabitable, even so government agrees especially with excessive amounts of heat. They don't bring in any land value and where there's any economic activity and room for serious growth investors will always follow, that's just how it is. Things don't just appear and then there's a successful city. If you receive free water and electricity then you basically have cost of maintenance to a near zero. Gives you room to focus on other pressing issues - but hey you're right, there's a serious problem with the mindset there. If you drive by a rural area it looks like sand. Did you know that even with no roads, or even proper fencing; if the communities worked together to clean up the paths and put grass, just that simple idea, you'd see rural areas in totally different perspective, in fact it would look inviting. It's all about the effort and basic stuff, something as small as grass can make a serious amount of change.
Alright, I'm off to bed now, nighty niteโ.
At least Indians are the ones running Google and Microsoft at the moment.
@TerryMcCain Google being located in California doesn't change anything, it's still run by an Indian, and He seems to be rather doing a great job at it.
@TerryMcCain Alrighty then. Here it goes. Microsoft run by Satya Nadella, he's the CEO by the way. And his turnaround structure is the one that's reshaping Microsoft especially with cloud computing he's the one who moved away from the "Windows all" vision to Windows being just a service. By the way, Phil Spencer (Xbox boss) reports to him. He lives in the U.S. of course. And Google, run by Sundar Pichai, has the highest ranking, being the CEO and he's in charge growing the company of the Alphabet Subsidiary which is Google of course. He proposed to Larry Page that Google be converted to an LLC so that Google's decisions don't affect Alphabet more than all the subsidiaries. He lives in the U.S. of course but nonetheless Indian.
@TerryMcCain I'm not changing any subject, my initial response was that Microsoft and Google are run by Indians. Scroll up and you'll see. Now you're saying Microsoft made no sense in this but if you read my response properly I specifically mentioned both the companies. But nonetheless you're saying Sundar Pichai is Indian American. What's your point? That doesn't mean that since he's an American citizen now he's not Indian. It's not a matter of choice it's a matter of origin and culture. In layman's terms, the term "Indian American" just means that he's of Indian origin but an American citizen, much like how Elon Musk is "South African-canadian-American" (I'm not changing the subject just making a reference, please note).
@Sheamus Yeah I think he misinterpreted the entire sentence, and somehow thought I was only emphasizing on Microsoft when I was actually mentioning the powers Indians hold with big conglomerates.
@Sheamus Lol, I think it can still count for something. But nonetheless, I did try to somewhat elaborate on that last bit of sentence. I referenced Elon Musk and tried to emphasize on the fact that he's of South African origin, regardless of race and ethnicity. Hence my explanation of Indian American that he's of Indian (the place) origin but with American citizenship. But I was trying to address his statement "
If indians ran it there be lot issues cross country with scams and more.
We only run a internet line there not server based" to give him a clear understanding that Indians are in fact running two big conglomerates and there's no destruction or any sort of scamming going on; And I went on further to explain (using Microsoft as an example) that that specific Indian improved the company so much, and Pikachu somehow took that example and turned it into the thesis of the discussion.
Alright Apple, let's see what you got.
@Sheamus Actually the opposite. I'm just trying out the Apple ecosystem.
@Sheamus Lol I forked out literally R19 999... oof.. But I guess it's an investment in someway?
@Sheamus Lmao. Well, I'm trying out the ecosystem. I didn't want to get it on contract because that's just more debt.
@Sheamus Yeah, Lol good metaphor. But in all honesty, I'm probably going to get Windows installed on the Mac, for gaming of course. I don't want to lock myself into the Apple ecosystem especially with all the crap Apple is doing recently, I was into the Android ecosystem but I want to have more than one ecosystem. Seems better that way. Lol. Nonetheless, here's to hoping it'll go strong for the next five years. My Samsung laptop which I got in 2012 running an Intel Core i5 put up one hell of a fight considering the amount of overclocking I've been doing๐ , it's had to say goodbye to me a month ago. I really loved that laptop.
@Sheamus Did the research and for that price point, almost all the gaming laptops in that price point are limited to 1080P, and I'll also be using the Mac to edit YouTube videos. So that's how I arrived to the Mac, I was considering the HP Omen but meh, the specs weren't going to be what I needed for editing. That's what the MacBook will be mostly used for - video editing. I do my gaming on the Xbox One, and PC I only really play one game๐ - Euro Truck Simulator 2. It's available on Mac but the multiplayer mod for ETS2 is only available for Windows PC, which is why I want to install the Windows 10 OS. For PC gaming I want to build myself a gaming rig, a proper one, not now of course.
@Sheamus Yep, best way to enjoy gaming. A gaming laptop will just keep giving you problems and continuously paying for stuff you don't need to be paying for.
Lol why Xbox? Well since I moved away from the PS2 (which I seriously loved), I jumped to the Xbox 360 and I've since fallen drastically in love. I actually only upgraded to the Xbox One S back in last December without even blinking at the PS4 Lol. I think it's maybe because of the experience I had with 360 that I had the assumption Xbox One would be even greater. In all honesty, I'd probably only get the PS4 for Spider-Man and Gran Turismo Sport. The rest is history Lol.
Lol I understand, especially with my friends, they always try understand why I drool over the truck simulator but hey, like you said, each to their own.
@Sheamus Ah, I see. Truthfully speaking, Phil did a very great job at reviving the Xbox. But I have to agree, this whole play anywhere feature is starting to bother me. Why buy a console if you can build a gaming rig and the only thing you ever do is upgrade its hardware when the time comes. It takes away the fun of a console, especially since Xbox will now support mouse and keyboard, I mean like my gawd.. just somer shut down consoles altogether, get PCs and call it a day Lol.
Lol I doubt there'd be regrets. But to be honest, I think the only regret I'm having Is buying the newest Audi S5 Sportback. What's the point of a performance car if you can't even take it to Kyalami without the car having AIDS in between the track driving. I don't know how many times I've had to take it to Audi to get certain stuff fixed. My friends think it's not worth it considering being 23 years of age as well (insurance is a bitch) and I should rather get a Polo and call it a day๐.
@Apollo Lol I have to talk myself into getting a PS4. I'm an Xbox whore I guess.
@Apollo I attended E3, just not the Microsoft keynote. I think acquiring those companies was a smart move. Next-generation consoles might even come with a streaming only console.
@Sheamus The death of consoles is upon us, maybe?
@Apollo Yeah, but being my first time in the USA, alota shit went south for me. Plus being packed and the adrenaline pumping, I kept getting lost and spent the entire not eating. Honestly day one for me was an apocalypse. Getting to my hotel was a nightmare since I rented out a car and they driver on the left side, Lol I kept doing a mess of everything. But after a week I guess I was fine. But met some awesome people though.
@Sheamus Thats true, considering the amount of bad internet a lot of people have in other parts of the globe. I honestly still think SA we're still good with internet, people have bad internet out there. So definitely not going to be a mainstream device though.
@Apollo Nope, Lol I'm from South Africa.
When the hell did Skoda start becoming so important. Hmm, must've missed that bus.
https://youtu.be/xL-dliPhJ8s
@Meerkat_RSA Yep, I'll use the Boot Camp that comes with the MacBook.
Lol, good point.
@Apollo So it's true after all that Floyd was involved via his lil bro?
That's fucked up. Don't understand why this party even exists.
