  1. Versus will tell them to stop being babies and google it, dcrainmaker has a how to post for this.
  2. For the kom junkies maybe, but the concern is with what actually happened, we don’t know so we not sure if it’s a hack, ransom ware or a catastrophic data breach, there is a large amount of highly sensitive information on those servers. As for draw, well one would be quality of data, a smartphone gps is designed for driving, not sport, it’s far less precise and more prone to error. Add in things like heart rate which is great for training, the smart features you get with it as a daily driver, the health metrics you get as a daily driver. Safety features, I go out for a ride and my safety contacts can live track me, and again it’s not nearly as inaccurate as a phone. I think that would be the biggest impact to users now, safety features require their systems to be up and running. I’ve been without mine for a week, broken, and the biggest frustration is that I don’t get my notifications, my phones been on silent for 5 years, my watch has been my notifier for that time, it’s far less intrusive than the audio of the phone and very easy at a glance to see if I need to care about it.
  3. I don’t see how, and in the end you just sync a weeks worth of rides and life goes on. Nothing gets lost, it’s just a bump in the road.
  4. Oh yes I know that, ****s gotten real. I suppose the fact that my garmin croaked and I am waiting for the replacement means I am not impacted at this time. New unit should arrive next week.
  5. They are down for a multi day maintenance window to deal with a ransom ware attack. You will be able to sync again in a few days.
  6. Is that not what Nestor has been doing for like 2 or 3 years? If I recall the price was not bad but I spoke to my insurance broker and they told me not to bother, it would have no impact on my insurance. To me, personally, in that regard it seems unnecessary when I am already paying insurance. Sure, inconvenient to get it stolen, but on the flip side I end up paying R1500 for a brand new 80k bike. I kind of win out of them not being able to find my bike if it does get stolen.
  7. I had that dynaplug and after having paid over a grand for it I was pretty irritated at just how **** it was. The R90 slugplug outshone it like a beast. Like literally, stuck trail side tryna dynaplug my tyre and fokol, here comes past a ride with a slugplug and boom.
  8. I guess i must have the perfect fit and tone as I have tested on numerous occasions and both my Garmin and my previous TomTom recorded readings identical to both the Garmin HR straps as well as whatever that clamps thing the doctor puts on your finger to measure. There have been times when Any devices sensors go out of whack I know 2 friends who had altimeter issues on the 3 series who both sent theirs in and got new ones, one was out of warranty and only cost R1800.
  9. Ok sure, but I think we crossed the line on plausible security solutions. I am guessing the weight of that chain ain’t going to do a bike any good, your legs and arms than you though , the workout I’ll get locking and unlocking your bike. So they sell a marine padlock though to like lock the 2 pieces the together?
  10. Assuming it’s insured, letting it live outside, regardless of how you lock it up is likely to get your claim rejected. It’s a high risk, high value item, to leave it outside is begging to get it stolen. There is nothing you can bolt it down with that a bolt cutters won’t get through. To be hones, with winter coming up, insurance be damned, there are sensitive components on a bike and this weather is likely to wreck them, what’s going to happen to your chain, suspension, frame if we get one of our nice 7 day downpours 200/300mm of heavy rain and hail slamming down on your bike from every direction.
  11. It's a law with no punishment. So you are legally required to, but there are no repercussions for not doing so. You cannot be arrested or fined or anything, that's what happens when the inmates take over the asylum. They have fogol idea of what they are doing. Is it still a law when there is no legal means of enforcing or punishing transgressors?
  12. Well all coffee shops are closed so we need to remove the table and sub in parking lot.
  13. Well there is 34t or 36t, I am guessing if you looked hard enough you may even find a 38t.
  14. That changed as of today, the Farm has officially reopened, day passes can be gotten at the kiosk until 5pm. Gates locked at 6pm.
  15. I can speak for all of them, but having visited jhb a few times, I dunno how you guys do anything with soo little air... [emoji23]
  16. They have hey, they ridding very well and look awesome, but u can see its been tyre free for a while, hurricanes got a nice even layer of moss on most of it. I'm heading back Sunday. Will hopefully head to the mast and check out that.
  17. I know, I quite literally had to explain it to some woman on Facebook twice. I typed out a nice long paragraph explaining to here what the gazette said re exercise and she replies "well in my opinion, the 5km radius still applies" like WTF has your opinion got to do with what the law says.
  18. A 3 ring circus would be an improvement, circuses are organised. This is more like putting the loons in charge of the looney bin
  19. I don't have a chrome cast but do have a smart TV I cast too and have never seen quality issues but on occasion I have seen buffering issues. I have 2 WiFi networks on my house 1 of which is broadcast from the router nearest the TV which is connected via cable and that solves it 99% of the time. Ideally you want to be on a 5ghz, not 2.4ghz network for this and ideally on the same one, but signal strength will play a big part in this and sounds to me like you have a crappy signal either to your phone, the chrome cast or both. If you are stuck with 2.4ghz then there is nothing you can do, that network is not good for streaming especially if you have lots of signal in your area a, its best suited for browsing and general usage, basically anything but streaming or gaming. You are basically going via what sounds like a bad signal to your router and then that same bad one back to the chrome cast. The quality and placement of the router play a big role as well with that, if your router is near even just a few electrical wires or has to travel through thick or multiple walls, is behind a plant, you could be trashing your signal completely. I used to have my router behind the TV in the lounge when I was dumber which not a great spot but with my room also being behind it not terrible either. I got that Telekom uncapped lte and the difference between behind the TV and 2m to the left, not behind the TV was 12mb vs 90mb. That was when I learnt the true impact of electrical interference.
  20. More like they going to be too busy arresting surfers to worry about the comings and going of a township... What South Africa you been living in... [emoji23]
