    Samsung S23 select apps that are not allowed to use data

    I was looking for the same thing when I moved from Huawei to Samsung. So easy on the Huawei phones, not available on Samsung. I found (and am still using) this app: NetGuard Only issue is that it sometimes causes problems when I try to screencast onto a TV, so then I just turn off the...

    Weird one - Advice needed please

    I think you are getting false readings from the balancer. The fact that you are getting combined reading of 27.6V means both 12V batteries are measuring 12V+ (although this could be charge voltage but then again if the battery was bad it wouldn't charge). Do what @Killerwatt suggested and swap...

    Medical Aid Advice

    If this happened to you then you should definitely query it with your medical aid / doctor. This is exactly what happened with us, we were going natural and then because of pre-eclampsia my wife had to get an emergency c-section. The anesthetist actually told us that since it is an emergency...

    Sainz will go to Audi (Sauber) in 2025. His family already has strong connections with the Audi name. His father, Carlos Sainz Snr, just won the Dakar rally with Audi. Audi now pulling out of Dakar to concentrate on F1. I am sure the Audi link has already been made and he will announce it as...

    Deye inverter setup assistance

    It should be easy to check if the CT is installed correctly or not. There should be a page where it shows the CT measurement, if the value is negative it means current is flowing back into the grid. Positive means it is flowing into your house. If you know you are drawing energy from the grid...

    Extending wifi to bedrooms and slightly further out of my property

    Not an expert on wifi6 but from what I could find doing my research before buying was that the wifi6 can handle more simultaneous connections / streams. Also requires works better with devices that are wif6 capable, at the moment I think that is my phone only, but if I am going to spend that...

    Extending wifi to bedrooms and slightly further out of my property

    Jip, goes through walls. I can even pick up wifi outside the house. The larger the area the more units you use. If two units won't suffice you can just add more. They are no cheap tho, but not that expensive either. I picked up a 2-pack on special in November for R1899 which is why I went with...

    Mixed Martial Arts (of any kind)

    I honestly think if it wasn't for the cut on Strickland's left eye he would have won. It was there that things started turning around. Strickland started struggling and Dricus got some momentum. Also looked bad which is always good in terms of judges scoring, looks like massive damage was done...

    Had the same discussion with the misses on Sunday. Gate fees for the event was $7.9m (Β±R150m) with an attendance of 18559, that equates to an average ticket price of Β±R8000. I highly doubt they will be able to make the same amount of money of a local UFC event, so I highly doubt it will happen...

    Home Backup solution

    Yes I have a 5.12kWh Volta Stage 1 battery. Only reason I went with it is because I was able to get it at a very good price. I have to be honest, my system was installed about 3 months ago so I haven't gone through a winter cycle yet so it will be interesting to see how efficiently it operates...

    @Smurf - Your list does mention the roof mounting brackets, I think your quote showed them included? They can be very expensive. Do you have the exact model number of the 425W panels included in the quote? More panels will give you more solar power yes, but unless you are exporting to Eskom...

    Yes before Solar, I haven't actually calculated how much we are using at the moment per month. It was holidays so we were at home everyday so won't be an accurate result anyway.

    Home Backup solution

    That is unfortunately something that a lot of people forget or do not get told by suppliers, installing an inverter system without solar won't save you any money on electricity, in fact it will cost you more per month. You are now using the battery power during loadshedding to power your house /...

    Looking at installing a LS system, any advice would be appreciated.

    Ok so happy to confirm I currently have loadshedding so no grid power, perfect time to test earth neutral floating voltage. Opened the inverter DB and measured between earth and neutral.

    Looking at installing a LS system, any advice would be appreciated.

    I did read a lot about the earth neutral bond story, what a headache. Apparently it is no longer an issue, but to have peace of mind maybe I should just test it. What the manual states is that the earth on the output of the inverter should not be connected (only for certain countries which...

    Yes I have my existing DB (non-ess) which is the geyser, stove, RCD and 1x plug CB which I left as a spare in case I want to take anything off the inverter supply. Then I have a CB feeding grid supply to the inverter DB. In the inverter DB I then split the grid supply onto a CB that feeds the...
