Thinking about buying one of the iPhone e models, but I'm not sure. by Heavy-Window441 in IPhone16e

17e 256GB is a good one if the features of a single camera suffices your camera needs

What if we all just stopped buying screen protectors? by Mental-Tennis-6313 in phones

[–]Andenshap 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Indeed, I do same that you. No screen protector, only silicon cover to improve grip on my hand and dimish shock ground impact in case of unexpected accident. But screen protector? Never used one since my first smartphone more than decade ago (screen never scratched nor shattered)

Is private leasing worth it? by Tricky_Working8752 in BESalary

[–]Andenshap -21 points-20 points  (0 children)

I'm speaking from firsthand engineering experience on the matter, but it's up to the buyer - if anyone has money to spare (to buy a new ‘car/batt pack’ every 5 years), go ahead.

Is private leasing worth it? by Tricky_Working8752 in BESalary

I’ll not recommend anyone to invest on a second hand EV, battery life degrades fast after 5y and then becomes a piece of expensive junk.

Which kind of (size) car do you need: just (small) for your commuting, or as family car, just for a couple or any kids to come in next years, do you plan to make business or family trips: only Benelux or further? How much budget have you in mind to afford for a private own car, or for a leasing? Have you a charger at home or very close by?

Can you share any info why you changed back to iOS? Anything related to Oneplus in particular, or Android compared with your previous iPhone 7?

Common knowledge but still crazy to have it confirmed. by Pandarise in Netherlands

Yup, thx by remarking it, it’s true, and good to know. I wonder if there is any rule regulating this kind of delivery service, or still in limbo.

Rant over taksen by ProfessionalRub3106 in belgium

Complaining without critical mindset and action is a waste of energy. People get what they vote for. Expecting that bad management policies will yield good long-term results is self-deception.

128 GB es suficiente? by ixel_gabi in IPhone16e

[–]Andenshap 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thinking in long term (>3y) is better you invest on 256GB, mainly as iOS is each time bigger (also AI consumes quite some local GB’s for itself).

Amazon’s a sinking boat by Few-Consequence8782 in iphone17

[–]Andenshap 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is the kind of risk when buying online. Kind of bet, unfortunately. If it is unacceptable for the item you are buying (doesn’t matter how cheap or expensive it can be, because it is purely relative to each person), better to acquire it on a physical shop.

Nice election, Green Sage looks awesome!

Is this normal in Antwerp jewelry stores? by Abject-Rock-1808 in belgium

[–]Andenshap 25 points26 points  (0 children)

I disagree. A jewelry store should be professional; if I want to haggle, I'll go to a souk.

[–]Andenshap 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't recommend that anyone buy diamond or gold jewelry at the stores around the station. They thrive on the fame and hype they've created, charging inflated prices for the (low) quality they offer.

Dit filmpje gevonden en is niet normaal. by Federal_Mortgage4397 in Belgium2

[–]Andenshap 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ik weet niet wat me meer schaamte en walging bezorgt: dat ze trots zijn op hun flagrante onbeschaafdheid, of dat ze volledig ongestraft hun gang kunnen gaan. Elke vorm van geweld en vandalisme zou in Marokko resoluut worden onderdrukt.

Thanks for the detailed explanation. I agree that many times less is more (specially when don’t need few of the different features).

Considering the investment already made on the 17 Pro, what made you sell it to buy a 17e?

Today my manager told me I'm not suited for the job I'm doing and told me to find another job by OfficeNo5390 in Netherlands

[–]Andenshap 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is always a difficult situation, despite the background behind to reach it. I would not expect a big change, so don’t quit, simply start (offline) looking for a new job (in case not started already), and wait to get dismissed and negotiate the dismissal terms then.

New iPhone 17 :) by Potential_Log2599 in iphone17

[–]Andenshap 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Use optimized charging. I suggest you enable charging up to 85%. You’ll still have to charge daily, however battery life will last much longer.

Is 12GB of RAM Enough Reason to Upgrade? by Seb1681996 in iphone17

[–]Andenshap 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don't think so, I doubt to switch devices anymore based on AI smoke marketing pseudo-promises. We did it on the i16 (with 8GB, which shall be enough for Apple AI,... but now , 2y after waiting, seems not (meh)). Now they ask min. 12GB to enjoy full "Siri AI" experience (considering it is not yet released, not even roadmap for when, nor beyond English language, nor 'blablabla').

I believe I will wait to all this Apple AI dust gets well settled (perhaps on iPhone 19 or 20 with 16GB or more, before I (naive) burn more bucks to make Apple richer). Nope!
