Does anyone have any eperience with Vox’s Supafone VOIP offering?
My MIL in paying R630/month to telkom for a 10/10 line with a 20gb cap, which is extortion, so I’m going to move them soonest, but they can’t live without their landline - specifically the Telkom Anytime plan where MIL can phone any and all landlines for as long as she wants for ~R65/month. If Vox’s VOIP offering is good enough it might just make sense to move them onto that. But I’ve got no idea if the quality is similar to a phone line or to a cellphone call or to MS Teams or to a Whatsapp call…
We use Voys for voip and love them a lot. Can’t comment on vox tho sorry

We don’t have Vox but use VOIP at our office, the great thing was that we could keep our Telkom numbers. So whoever you decide to go with make sure they can port the number for you.

Thanks for the feedback, guys. @SIGSTART: has MyBB done a comparison? Perhaps a good idea for an article, comparing a landline with different VOIP offerings in terms of quality and cost?

If I quickly may, are there any Outlook IMAP experts here?
can give it a bash, but i don’t know that there is such a thing as outlook imap 
in strict technical terms hehe, since outlook is just a way to read mail off a mail server somewhere. do you mean outlook exchange/ or do you mean outlooks ability to do imap accounts
What I am actually looking for is some way to monitor what IMAP is doing.
Basically what happened was that the PC syncs “down” from the server but not “up”, i.e it will download from the server but not upload, which caused a weird thing to happen where the PC had more mails than what was on the server, which shouldn’t happen with IMAP since as far as I know, IMAP makes it so that that what’s on the server reflects what is on the PC (excluding unsubscribed folders and such)
How this ended up happening in the first place is beyond me. But I wanted some advice as to how I could check and see if maybe some sort of application was stopping the upload, yet allowing the download, even after all firewalls etc. were down.
The internet itself was stable so I saw no problem there, which is why i wanted to take a look if I could see what is happening, since in outlook there was no error, it was as if it was uploading fine (according to outlook) but I could clearly see it wasn’t, and this did not change after a new mail profile on both the PC and server was made, and an ms office repair so I don’t think it is outlook.
Thats sort of my understanding as well. IMAP is more just a case of you see whats on server, you dont ‘download’ (or upload really, unless you specifiying sent items be stored on server), where POP is you download what is on server that you havent seen before (and then your mail app will delete or keep on server).
Can you see whats happening on the mail server itself? do you have access to those logs?
Unfortunately not, I asked my boss as he does have access, but he was a bit busy so could not check for me.
Okay I have a weird question. It’s not an issue or a problem, just something that I find strange.
I’ve been moving my PC around the house a lot, as we get the room where my PC was ready for the baby. While doing this I’ve had to redo all the cabling for my PC. Since I got it, my headset was always plugged directly into the motherboard through the IO shield ports. The headset worked always and I always turned up the volume to the highest it could go. I always wished the sound was a bit louder but it never was an issue as I was capable to playing and enjoying anything on my PC.
Since the move, my headset is now plugged into the front case ports, and the difference is astonishing. I have much clearer and higher volume sound now through my headset. I actually don’t play or listen to music on the loudest setting on the headset anymore, it’s too loud. Just strange why the front case ports would make such a difference.

could easily be the rear ports have gotten damaged and isn’t able to transmit sound as effectively anymore, from my experience audio jacks on a motherboard are quite finicky, mine just randomly stopped working one day, and now I have to use USB headsets. And I haven’t moved my PC in like 4 - 6 years I think

I am currently using 16gb of RAM, will increasing this increase performance on a new generation PC game or is it more on the GPU than RAM/CPU?
I have:
CPU: Ryzen 5 1600
RAM: 2x 8gb DDr4 1600
GPU: Radeon RX 570 with 4gb DDR5

Definitely the GPU. You can still get by quite comfortably with the CPU and RAM.

Interesting. The back ports have always been at the same volume level ever since I built the PC, which is why the difference was so stark to me. If it’s faulty ports, then they were faulty when I got the PC. But makes sense that it could be a reason.
Ouch ok, that is the most expensive upgrade. So that will have to wait until next year!
I agree with @DarthMol about 16GB being enough for gaming, especially with the rest of your setup, sorry.
