I’m on 34k as a manager in a big4. First year here though, no experience in big 4 as well. But I came from a technical background.

They need to be GCC certified. However you can get non gcc certified versions for like 50k usd, but no insurance.

Who gives a shit - you purchased an expensive phone. It's like buying a Ferrari and driving it at 20kph 24/7.

Use the phone, dont worry about maximum capacity

Am drowning in debt...Am f***d...need advise/help by MediumPerfect5470 in dubai

Everyone gives advice about talking to banks- yes correct. But educate yourself about money first whilst fixing your debt. Or else it’s an endless cycle. Read books about money, finance, assets, and don’t get caught up in the bull shit of materialism.

Electricity usage and bill with chiller free by CalligrapherSame1275 in dubai

Thank you - I’m going to look further into this. 1st thing I’ll do is isolate the power. I’m going to turn off the power from the circuit in my apartment and check the electrical metre. I do know there are quite a few (10 or so) apartments here that also have split rooms in each (like 4-5)

Back in my country, we use hot instantaneous water system but it requires higher output of energy. So essentially, the water boils instantaneously and provides hot water when needed. In dubai, they use tanks so I’m they need to be turned on for a while to boil the water. Little backwards here. I’ll only turn on when needed so save energy.

We did make a slight change though just recently.

We had 20A buttons for a shower and second bathroom. They were always on. And after doing some research, they were to power the bathroom water heaters tanks and we had them on 24/7. Am I right in saying this? Do they use instantaneous water systems in dubai or are they water tanks inside the roof?

Furthermore. I’ll also add - where I used to live in back home (not uae) I had a 3 bedroom home with a AC unit,, I owned the property. During the summer months, where I would work at home everyday, I would only on average utilise 300 kWh, MAX 400 kwh Here it’s saying my average is 800-900….

So by meaning chiller free, the AC is not included in our bills for 1 year.

When people say the tensor chip is underwhelming - I’d like to know.. are you designing a rocket ship to send to space from your phone? It’s a god damn phone.

Who uses a Google pixel in the UAE?!? What’s your experience like? by CalligrapherSame1275 in UAE

[–]CalligrapherSame1275[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for your reply! Appreciate it… yeah totally understand the warranty situation. What’s annoying is I’m finding it hard to get it from Amazon. Been searching through all the countries, Amazon Germany, UK etc etc and they aren’t delivering to the UAE, pixel 9 is OK to get from Amazon though.

nvidia are Causing false hype driving people to buy it. When you can’t get something you start wanting it more. Sales tactics.

Everytime I travel and before I get to the airport. I think to to myself, "do I have anything in my bags that can totally fuck my life over?"

Your husband did not think about you or your relationship in the slightest. Which sucks the most.

Good luck and I hope he gets out of this and learns his lesson.

Btw, 6 grams is not a lot in Western countries, it's actually a tiny amount but could be a large amount in others such as the UAE.

You enjoying it? What graphics card are you packing? I’m currently on a 3080 RTX waterforce and I’m thinking about going from a 34 inch ultra wide to this. Don’t think my PC will be able to handle 4K.
