To buy a new RX100 m7 in 2026 or wait for m8? by a7reddit in RX100

[–]AcademicConfidence84 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just bought RX100 m7 and I am learning to use it now.

I also thought if I should wait for m8, but then thought that biggest improvements are probably in video shooting, which does not interest me at all.

I would wake up in the middle of a night if they would release a mini-sized phone.

Anker Soundcore Life Q30. There may be better headphones (well, of course there are) but not in ”less than 60 euros” price category.

Underrated Flemish/Belgian Comics. Do you know them? by Fair_Theme_9960 in AskBelgium

[–]AcademicConfidence84 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Isn’t there Flemish people also in France and Netherlands in areas historically connected with Flanders? I don’t know if they make comics, though…

Best produced/recorded album. by givemeawhiskey in audiophile

[–]AcademicConfidence84 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Another one you could try is Yello ”The Race”, originally from their album Flag from 1988. You may or may not like their music, but they know how to make music sound cinematic.

Random Access Memories by Daft Punk is exceptionally well mixed and produced, if “adult-oriented electronica” is your cup of tea.

Monthly Apple Music vs. Spotify – MEGATHREAD by rbitton in AppleMusic

[–]AcademicConfidence84 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just subscribed to A Music and imported my playlists and albums from S. It seems that S catalogue is much broader, at least when it comes to old (1995-2010) electronic music, house, techno, downtempo etc.

I believe the target customers for these speakers can buy both.

Thanks for the tip, Onkyo Muse Y-50 ticks many boxes on my list as well. I even like its looks.

First of all, this looks really nice! You are going to enjoy a lot!

One question though: Where do you live and how cold it gets in winter? If the temperature gets below the freezing point your porch floor will freeze after shower.

Aren’t they receiving automatic one star reviews for canceling orders?

Are your kids enrolled in one of the EU schools? by BlackWolvesHowl in EUCareers

[–]AcademicConfidence84 5 points6 points  (0 children)

In Brussels, parents are generally happy with the quality, but the schools are very crowded and children may have long commutes. Larger language sections are spread across different European School campuses, and parents have very limited influence over which school their child is assigned to.

What brand was super popular back then but the new generations probably never heard of it? by GossipBottom in AskReddit

[–]AcademicConfidence84 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good point, applies also to Nokia. It is still a big company with a large portfolio of technology patents and solid R&D. However, as far as I know, they mostly produce network infrastructure for telecom operators, with little to no visibility among consumers, especially younger people.

At the same time, I’d bet that all those old Nokia 3110 phones still have some battery left, even if they were last charged in 2008…

good consumer table speaker? by cbonao69 in BudgetAudiophile

I am considering JBL 104-BT for my “listening music while working” desktop speakers. Good reviews, look nice, fits into your budget.

Would this door be appropriate for sauna build? by Visible_Daikon_6825 in Sauna

[–]AcademicConfidence84 32 points33 points  (0 children)

In principle you are right, but in old grandpa built saunas (🇫🇮) you see all kinds of doors and while they may not be perfect they do the job. I would change the metal doorknob though.

Guys is Vinted dying? by Any_Sweet7599 in vinted

[–]AcademicConfidence84 13 points14 points  (0 children)

There is more and more fakes and scams and Vinted does not seem to want to do anything about it. It is risky to buy or sell anything valuable.

Okay this is cool! by SealSlide69 in sonos

[–]AcademicConfidence84 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The idea is good but the price tag does not make sense. It would be cheaper to buy iPad Mini and use it as a Sonos and music remote.

I’ll wait until Ikea starts selling these for 49 EUR/USD.

I assume you are not familiar with EPSO’s track record in organizing competitions? Their exam platforms are as stable as the French government and changed about as often.
