u/Count_vonDurban

So I’ve made a decent amount of cash in software engineering in the last decade + , but am looking to give back to people after a severe health scare. Healthy as an ox now but it gave me time to think.

I always wanted to lecture but it’s not what I’ve really wanted to do after researching it. I want to assist younger scholars because I hated school and understand how to reach those like I was.
I have done a TEFL course to tutor already.

I’m highly educated so it’s just a one year course I need to take. I know I’ll make much less but have set myself up nicely with zero debts, etc. and decent assets.

I’d naturally go into something like IT classes which are much more aligned to my knowledge, or physics/ math.
Very well read and thrive in English and drama.

Bottom line, are there any teachers on here that might have advice or anyone known about this field? Still need to pin down where and what to study in Durban.

Any ideas good or criticising? I need to have some subjectivity in this matter.

Don’t know if this matters but I’m a large white male in his 30s. Travelled extensively and went through 3 different syllabus in high school, settling on Cambridge. Currently have my own business.

Thanks guys.

Hello all, a few of us locals are getting together to build out a decent sized radius in which we can use Meshtastic. Few questions:

-Kind of settled on a Heltec V3 in a waterproof tough case. Wonder what to do with the antenna? Would you suggest a low cost alternative if you have one please? Anything I can change out the antenna for a longer distance one?

- Battery: this needs to be placed in optimal positions so we can’t just plug it in. We need a backup battery for nights and storms, and a big enough solar panel/s to charge the battery in the day. Any other components I’m missing here like a step up converter, would be nice to monitor this from afar so maybe some smart battery monitor and what the solar panels are pulling in. Just an idea.

Don’t want to complicate it too much so simplicity and ease of making it is key here.

Any and all suggestions are welcome, please share your builds if you’re inclined to.

I’m a certified English tutor looking for potential students of all ages to tutor English over video chat. If you are interested, DM me or comment on this post.

I reinstalled Windows 11, and Apple Music was one of my first apps I installed.

I go to Sign In, and enter my credentials. The popup box looks like it is trying to connect for a second, then disappears and nothing happens.

Same for iTunes.

Followed as much advice as I could on the support forums to no avail.

Chatted to two reps online from Apple with no fix at all.

Any chance anyone has a suggestion?

Hi all,

Years ago I got a Diploma in Software Development from Varsity College. Then carried credits over to get a BSc in Software Engineering (there was a year in which they didn’t offer the degree yet so I just worked).

My highest NQF level is currently 7 and I need 8 to apply for an MBA.

I tried UNISA for Honours and two of the lecturers were completely unavailable. I’d submit work on time only for it to never be marked. I left after a few months as it was going nowhere.

So the question is: What is the simplest route for me to get an MBA?

Money isn’t really an issue and I’m in Durban. I fit all other criteria for admission and was cum laude in both previous certifications.

I can start from scratch and get into an honours/masters degree but don’t want to waste time. I can try carry credits. Or I can try another institution like UNISA.

I’ve just reached a point in my career where I will benefit from having an MBA and I do have the resources to get one - just how is the question. Is there a bridging course I’m maybe missing, etc? Something I haven’t thought of?

Thanks for any input, and have a great day!

Hi all,

I’ve never had any issue close to this.
Installed iTunes and later Apple Music to my fresh Windows 11 install and am trying to login to either service, but get a generic “Temporarily unavailable” message on iTunes, and absolutely nothing on Apple Music. It just takes me back to the “try our trial” page.
My Mac and iPhone are working fine.
Scoured the support forums with no help. Also contacted an Apple rep who couldn’t help either.

I’m bewildered, so any ideas would be welcome.
Thanks in advance.
