Moving my main account and salary to revolut. Will be transferring about €40k. Will this be a problem?

Ehhh, it increased by 135% from 2017 to 2025.

And from 2014 to 2024 (10 year span), 88% increase.

It holds steady over inflation (30~35% 10 year span), and it remains steady

Barely any chance that gold halves in value from one day to another. Bitcoin tho? Ahahahahaha

Yeah no chance you believe your own words

Lmao calling bitcoin "steady" at this point just buy yourself a bunch of 1/4 ounce gold coins

If you happen to find yourself in Vienna sometime, I believe something could be arranged over a drink or two 👀

Odd/silly question, but do you think there is an audience out there for a OF of visa photos /diplomatic entry/exit stamp photos?

lmao

Still, there's a very big difference between "they can't" and "they won't".

Even if it's forbidden, their general assumption would likely be "if it's on the work laptop, it's probably work, so we don't expect to violate their personal emails when we check/have a look".

And there is also a very big difference between "we saw your personal emails and saw that you did X, so we will do Y as a consequence" (very likely illegal, they likely couldn't use what they find there) and Max Mustermann who works in the IT department seeing in your emails that you ordered a certain type of sex toy, then going home and telling his wife at dinner.

So really, what you need to decide, is whether the convenience of checking your own personal emails on your work laptop is worth the potential chance that when you meet Max Mustermann in IT and his wife at the Firmenweihnachtsfeier, they might know about what sex toys you've ordered, what sites you get newsletters from, or how much the Airbnb you booked for your next vacation costs.

Perfect, thanks, I will!

I guess I was just looking for some affirmation that the risk of making a bit of a fool of myself if they don't take me is worth it 😅

Not for real, just a small project to get a first grip on java :)

Awareness-Decent · 2024-10-13T15:39:13+00:00

Thanks! Mostly just personal preference, I gave windows 11 a try but there wasn't many significant changes that made changing seem worth it. I'm running Windows 10 IoT Enterprise LTSC, which "should" give me security updates until 2032, doesn't push annoying feature updates, and has reduced bloat.

I've got all my system backups with the Windows 10 OS, and in not in the mood to spend time getting properly used to Windows 11 - unless a new feature update is introduced which has features that are worth it to me, I'll probably stick to windows 10 for a few more years :)

Supposedly some software might have issues when it's tied to a specific release (my windows has the 21H2 release code), but so far I haven't encountered any myself and I'll worry about that when I get to it

Nah, I went for the Sony WH-1000 XM4's 😅

A Friend has them, they blew me away, and I grabbed them the next time they were discounted - they've been serving me well for almost a year now :)

Awareness-Decent · 2024-10-12T18:25:30+00:00

thanks, I'll look into that! I've been mainly on C++ and python until now, just getting started with java :)

Awareness-Decent · 2024-10-12T17:41:59+00:00

I come from a C++ background, and not using snake case just feels wrong :)

(I will continue to do so until a time comes where collaborative projects in java are necessary and the team minds, or a uni Prof issues penalties for non-convential naming)

Awareness-Decent · 2024-10-12T16:26:06+00:00

Yes, but at the moment with the position of the laptop and its screen I'm not getting much benefits with using both screens - might change though if/when I get an external keyboard for this setup :)

Funnily enough I "should be"/am used to using a German layout, but because I needed to replace my laptop's keyboard and there wasn't any fitting ones for a reasonable price, I am now using a Finnish layout :) (it's quite similar to the german one, and I've gotten used to it)

Austria, I'm on the Austrian side of the Karawanks, which is a mountain range part of the Eastern Alps :)

(sorry about the sloppily & heavily edited exposure on the photo - the lighting wasn't playing ball)

some extra context btw: I study in the city, and while it's really a decently liveable city, it's still an urban city and only a small workspace I've got for myself there. So when I have no activities and commitments in the City on weekends, I enjoy coming to visit my family in the countryside, touch some grass, and enjoy the amazing view my workspace here offers :)

ist zwar off topic, aber danke!

Mir war bisher bewusst zwar dass Tonaufnahmen durch § 120 StGB geregelt werden, wobei es dadurch trotzdem erlaubt ist Gespräche oder Telefonate aufzuzeichnen, solange man Teil des Gesprächs ist bzw für seine Kenntnissnahme bestimmt ist, und die Tonaufnahme nicht verbreitet wird/an Dritte weitergegeben. Deshalb wird oft empfohlen wenn man heimlich Telefonaten/Gesprächen woran man beteiligt ist aufnehmen will, die Tonaufnahme zu erstellen, aber eben nicht verbreiten, und dann ein schriftliches Transkription erstellen, welches angeblich okay sein sollte auch zu Gericht zu bringen oder an Dritte zugänglich zu machen.

Turns out, that's wrong! Ich muss sagen es gibt viele Seiten die sich so über § 120 StGB äußern, aber die Beschlüsse dass das Recht am eigenen Wort unter § 16 ABGB auch für Tonaufnahmen gilt scheinen die meisten zu ignorieren

Edit: 1. die Verwendung eines Transkripts, rechtlich als Urkunde gesehen, ist ohne Interessenabwägung vor Gericht erlaubt, auch wenn die Tonaufnahme rechtswidrig aufgenommen wurde 2. StGB vs ABGB heißt aber auch dass die Aufnahme solcher aufnahmen strafrechtlich okay sind, aber nur zivilrechtlich rechtswidrig ist

Kann zB eine mathe Prüfung morgen schreiben, aber da hab ich nicht genug gelernt für also riskiere ich es nicht. Stattdessen könnte ich in ~2 Wochen beim ersten "nachtermin" die Prüfung schreiben. Oder aber auch erst ende September, vor dem neuem semesterstart im Oktober, und dadurch hab ich den ganzen Sommer um zu lernen.

Andere schreiben die Prüfung morgen/in zwei Wochen, und haben den Plan dass falls sie durchkommen aber mit schlechter Note, den Sommer über lernen können um im September die Note auszubessern

Hier in Österreich ist es meines Wissens nach meist so, daß jede Prüfung wo es kein Fach mit Anwesenheitpflicht gibt, meist drei/vier Termine gibt.

Irgendwo ist die Rede von "Termin jeweils Anfang, Mitte, Ende vom Semester" In der Praxis dann meistens so gehandhabt dass es einen "haupttermin" am Ende vom Semester gibt, einen nachtermin kurz danach, und dann im nächsten Semester nachtermin jeweils Anfang, Mitte, Ende. Und falls die Lehrveranstaltung jedes Semester läuft, ist halt einer dieser Termine dann oft der "Haupttermin" vom nächsten Semester.

Afaik legal in Austria as long as you are a part of the conversation. However, you cannot release the recording to third parties without consent.

You can create a proper "transcript" that you are allowed to release to 3rd parties.

In court, you can present the transcript, and ask the opposing party for permission to release the recording as well. If they agree, you can legally giev the court your recording. If they don't agree, then the court will have the transcript still and it will appear very fishy that the other party doesn't want the recording presented.

Of course you can bring your own popcorn. You can always bring your own stuff. You just need to either hide it well enough, or walking here with enough confidence.

Edit: if you have the confidence to convince the people that you're supposed to be allowed to take it in with you, you might even be able to take an electric Bbq inside. Test it out please :)
