How to Protect your Electronics during loadshedding? @HisenseSA

Hi Friends, 

It seems that load-shedding has staying power when we wish it wouldn’t. With it brings frustrations, work and life interruptions, while it also poses a risk to your appliances, costing you even more money.

Damage to electronics results from power surges, which are an increase in the voltage of an electrical circuit when the power is switched off then back on. While the voltage fluctuation is temporary, it can be strong enough to damage the components in your devices and appliances. The damage is made worse when there are frequent power outages.

Want to prevent damage to your appliances and devices? Here are some tips from Hisense, a leading global consumer electronics and home appliances company:

Unplug all your electronics

The best way to prevent damage is through prevention. When you know you are about to be loadshed, unplug all your appliances and devices. Desktop computers are particularly vulnerable, so ensure you know the loadshedding schedule, and shut them down and unplug them before the power goes off.

Get a UPS

A UPS (uninterrupted power supply) can provide backup power when your main power source is down. Depending on the size of the UPS battery size, it could supply power for minutes or hours, but you can use the time to either continue being productive or save files on your computer, before shutting it down and unplugging it.

Invest in surge protectors

A surge protector is an electrical appliance that protects your equipment against power surges. When electricity is restored after loadshedding, a surge protector diverts any excess energy into its grounding wire.

You can buy plug adapters fitted with surge protectors, or get one for your DB board, which should be installed by an electrician.

Check your insurance

Check if your home insurance policy covers you for damage to your electronics as a result of power surges and if there are any specific limitations for more expensive electronics like laptops. This will ensure that if you do suffer any damage, you can claim and replace the damaged items.

If your insurance doesn’t allow this, it might be worthwhile getting more cover.

A friendly reminder… though you probably know this by now:

Charge your devices in advance so that you have enough power during loadshedding

Get a power bank for your phone and tablet and ensure it’s fully charged before loadshedding hits.

Get into the habit of saving files and documents you’re working on in case you’re unexpectedly loadshed.

And good to know…

If you want to continue cooking without interruption, the Hisense Free Standing Gas Cooker is a sure way to keep the meals coming when there’s no power.

The HFS905GES Free Standing Gas Cooker has:

• Matt finish
• Auto-ignition
• 2 Convection Fans
• Double-layer glass door
• Storage compartment
• Easy-clean interior
• 6 functions
• Wok burner
• Flame failure device

It’s available from retailers from around R9 999.

Cheers!!!

@HuaweiZA #HuaweiMateBook14 is Here To Make Your Dreams Come True

Hi Friends, 

Ask many creatives what item they would grab if their house was on fire, or what they would choose to take to a desert island (provided it had a power supply), and you’re likely to get one answer: “my laptop”. For art directors, graphic designers and filmmakers, this single device is everything – life, love and livelihood. If you’re a young creative breaking into these fields and searching for the laptop that will steal your heart, look no further than the brand-new HUAWEI MateBook 14.

First things first – that screen!

We’re told not to judge a laptop by its cover (or something like that), but aesthetics matter. Without proper consideration for the size, weight and thickness of a laptop, you could easily be left lugging around a cumbersome device that’s more hindrance than a help. If you’re a creative dashing between client meetings, presentations and shoots, your laptop needs to be portable and user friendly, and no one knows this better than Huawei.

The MateBook 14 is an ultra-slim, lightweight machine that measures less than 16mm in height and weighs just over 1.5kg. This makes it easy to travel with and an essential part of your nomadic working lifestyle. The metal chassis is also sleek and sexy, as beautiful to the eye as it is to the touch.

But it’s the 14-inch screen that will truly blow you away. The screen offers 2K resolution, Huawei’s distinctive FullView Display, and touch screen functionality. All this combined, as well as its handy 3:2 aspect ratio and impressive 90% screen-to-body ratio, makes it one of the best 14-inch displays on the market.

Powered for productivity

The MateBook 14’s remarkable screen is just the first indication of the powerful technology it holds – there’s more inside. The MateBook 14 is powered by the latest 11th Generation Intel Core processor, NVIDIA GeForce MX350 Discrete Graphics and 16GB of dual-channel RAM. While that might be a lot of tech stats to digest, what you really need to know is this: for young professionals seeking to push their creative limits, the MateBook 14 is punching way above its weight.

Its large battery means you can work uninterrupted for over 13 hours or browse online for almost 11 hours. And its 65W USB-C power adapter supports a range of power outputs – just 15 minutes of charge can give you as much as three hours of battery life.

To prevent your machine from overheating amid all this power and productivity, the MateBook 14 comes standard with the HUAWEI Shark Fin Fan 2.0. This optimised fan design supports higher fan rotation speeds and improves air intake by up to 18%, making it great at heat dissipation as well as lowering the noise of your machine.

Of course, if your laptop is going to integrate seamlessly into your life and drive your career forward, it also needs to work well with the other devices you use on a regular basis. That’s why the MateBook 14 comes with HUAWEI Share built-in. HUAWEI Share allows for a more connected experience, facilitating the transfer of data without the need for clunky cables or third-party software. Multi-Screen Collaboration, a function of HUAWEI Share, makes this experience even simpler and more integrated.

With the MateBook 14 by your side, you’re always moments away from bringing your inspired ideas – a graphic novel, a fresh advertising campaign, your own short film – to life.

The HUAWEI MateBook D 15 3i

Another new laptop on Huawei’s lineup that is also perfect for creatives, this time a new version of an old favourite, is the HUAWEI MateBook D 15 i3. This laptop comes with a range of improved features that deliver an even better user experience, including the HUAWEI FullView Display, powerful performance and stylish design, to mention a few.

The HUAWEI MateBook D 15 i3 features a 16:9 aspect ratio and recessed camera. The top and side bezels are only 5.3mm thick, resulting in an 87% screen to body ratio, perfect for editing video footage or magazine layouts if you’re an art director.

The HUAWEI MateBook D 15 i3 sports a 15.6-inch, 1080p FHD IPS screen with anti-glare protection, meanwhile offering a wide viewing angle of 178°, which for someone spending hours looking at the screen, can help you rest assured that you won’t strain your eyes. And if you’re constantly on the move you will appreciate the lightweight and exquisite HUAWEI MateBook D 15 i3 with a streamlined design with dimensions of only 357.8mm x 229.9mm x 16.9mm.

Special deal

When you purchase either of these laptops, you will get a two-year collect, repair and return VIP service warranty with 24/7 online technical support valued at R1,299. Get your HUAWEI Matebook 14 for R24,999 or the HUAWEI MateBook D15 i3 for just R10,999 either in-store or by visiting the HUAWEI Store (Online). Both these laptops come with the premium HUAWEI Backpack, HUAWEI Bluetooth mouse and HUAWEI VIP service all valued at R2,997 (Ts & Cs Apply).

MultiChoice Says YES to 300 More Youth @MultiChoiceGRP

Hi Friends, 

As part of its continued commitment to South Africa’s youth, MultiChoice Group has extended its partnership with the Youth Employment Service (YES) to assist with the recruitment and training of 300 learners.

Started by President Cyril Ramaphosa three years ago, the YES initiative calls on business to help the government create critical work experience for unemployed youth who would otherwise have had limited opportunities for employment across the country.

This is the second year that MultiChoice has taken in a cohort of learners as part of the programme. Last year the partnership resulted in the creation of 400 new job opportunities. In addition, MultiChoice also created 100 sports coaching learnerships through its Let’s Play initiative. The two partnerships equated to a total investment of R50 million towards putting 500 South African youth to work.

As part of the programme this year the learners, who have been recruited across all nine provinces, will receive work readiness training with MultiChoice and MultiChoice will also provide each of them with a stipend. Following the training, each of the 300 learners will receive employment opportunities, either with MultiChoice or externally.

“The main objective for this programme is to create work opportunities for youth who have previously not been afforded the opportunity. It is our contribution to responding to youth unemployment in a meaningful way that impacts our communities,” says Joe Heshu Group Director for Corporate Affairs at MultiChoice.

The program is split into learnerships and internships. There are 75 TVET college students who will receive internships across a diversified portfolio that includes HR, Finance, Marketing, Law, and IT.

The remaining 225 places are prioritised for learnerships in the ICT space for matriculants and others with qualifications but who are not working.

These learnerships will focus on:

• 3D Animation and Visual Effects
• Television and Radio production
• Interactive Media
• System development
• End-user design
• Telecommunications
• Business Analysis
• Technology database development

MultiChoice is a keen supporter of South Africa’s youth and already makes a conscious effort to tell stories that affect young people today, with DStv shows like The River and reality show Becoming actively spotlighting these issues. And, through the MultiChoice Talent Factory, they equip young film and television students with skills and knowledge to tell their own stories.

“MultiChoice has long been an advocate for South Africa’s youth, providing mentorship opportunities and a platform for young people to tell their stories. This year we have deepened our commitment to the youth and through partnerships such as the one with YES we hope to continue to have a meaningful impact in the lives of young South Africans,” Heshu concludes.

Cheers!!!
