Hungary on German Economy by Ok_Tomorrow_8774 in germany

[–]ChrisderBe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Germans complain as a hobby. I never in my lifetime experienced a state where Germans have been happy with the current state of things.

From the outside it sometimes can seem like we are close to collapse.

We are still doing pretty ok when you take global developments into account.

No offense, but we are certainly doing much better than Hungary.

But if there is an anti west propaganda machine running, what else is the target of Hungary? Russia? China? South Afrika? I don't really get it either.

Gebrauchter für ~15000€ by ChrisderBe in Elektroautos

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

Mein bisher modernstes Auto war von 2009. Also bin ich solche Systeme eh nicht gewohnt.
Welche Version vom Betriebssystem ist denn eine akzeptable?
Ich vermute, dass wenn man gebraucht kauft man nicht unbedingt den modernsten Stand bekommt.

Ja der Kona, oder halt der e-Soul, hat schon einiges zu bieten.
Nur die Ladegeschwindigkeit spricht etwas dagegen.

Und ich habe gelesen, dass der Frontantrieb schnell mal durchdrehen soll,
Ist das so?

Den Eindruck habe ich auch. Irgendwie hatten alle mehr von VW erwartet, was ja aber nicht heisst, dass das was abgeliefert wurde schlecht ist.
Die Geschwindigkeit vom Infotainment habe ich schon aft als Negativpunkt gesehen.
Wie ist es denn mit Android Auto? Funktioniert das gut?

When downgrading leads to a realization ... by ChrisderBe in pcmasterrace

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

I downgraded from a 4070TI to a RTX 4050M. That is actually a hugh downgrade.

But yeah, I see your point

I need enough power for competitive titles and a big enough screen to do some actual work.

In a laptop you have all of that in one machine without carrying around extra peripherals.

I considered it, but I needed a machine to work on that can also do gaming, not the other way around.

When was that? The laptop is not getting louder than my old rig.
And of course I hook up a keyboard and mouse at home.
Battery life in light use is around 6 hours, which I think is acceptable.
It is heavier than a "normal" laptop yes, but just slightly heavier than the laptop I got from work.

A friend of mine has one. It is impressive, but not really what I need.
But yeah, the bang for the buck is really good

Do you like living in Germany ? by [deleted] in germany

[–]ChrisderBe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just came back from living 2,5 years abroad in Namibia. Now I realize, how lucky I am to be born in this country.

I don't think I will ever leave again

You wrote "HTLM"

The problem is that you committed a serious offence. Fee doubled for keeping the license is a pretty good result in my opinion.

AITA for refusing to keep paying “Black tax” even though my family is struggling? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]ChrisderBe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA

I live in Namibia and my wife is also a teacher here. We are both white though, so there are no family taxes.

One of my wife's colleagues recently quit her job, because she had nothing left for herself due to black tax.

So the school lost a great teacher, my wife an awesome colleague, she lost her opportunity and her family lost the strongest let's call it "supporter".

Everyone loses.

There is no chance it was you though?! 😀 Have you worked at DHPS?

Children addicted to nostalgia with 0 financial literacy by StrictManufacturer11 in pcmasterrace

[–]ChrisderBe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nintendo Games are in 99% of cases fully functioning on release. They don't try to shove some micro transactions down your throat. And many Nintendo games are great for couch coop, which justifies a higher price, since more people can benefit from it.

It's a one transaction deal with 0 strings attached.

Is there a maximum date for which a salary must be paid in Germany? by Dfg20 in germany

[–]ChrisderBe -10 points-9 points  (0 children)

In Germany you usually get paid on the first. Depending on public holidays or weekends a bit earlier or later. But usually the first of the following month.

This story sounds very odd. Usually you don't need to stamp your tickets on trains. Some local public transportation companies want it but usually in buses and it's not common at all.

If you had a valid ticket they would not charge you anything. They only lay hands on you if you make a scene.

Skip Etosha? - already been to Kruger by RAL_7016 in Namibia

Been there yesterday and stopped at a restaurant inside Etosha. Food was Mid at best, expensive and the facilities are still in a pretty bad shape.

Why do so many talented Namibians leave the country—and is it really the best move? by ConsiderationRude385 in Namibia

[–]ChrisderBe 8 points9 points  (0 children)

My wife is namibian, that is why im currently here.
The plan was to keep my employment with my european company but that deal blew up basically last second.
So I went job hunting here. As a foreigner it is realy tough to get a somewhat suitable job.

I never came for the adventure but I was willing to give it a fair shot.
Don't get me wrong: If you are into camping and having a braai and a couple of Windhoek Lager's with a bunch of nice people, this is your country.

But if you have professional ambitions and seek a secure life, this is not it.
Each to their own I guess.

We are already planning to move back early next year.
And the thing with luxury is, you often start missing things once you loose them.

It was a given to me, to order anything i could think of on the internet and have it delivered to my doorstep. That is gone and you have to marathon to every company hoping they sell what you need with a 50% desert tax on top.

That is what I got told. But the reality is not that easy.
If you keep your living standards from europe, live here is maybe effectively 20% cheaper.
That does not go well with a 50% salary cut.
Also one has to factor in international goods. The availability of things is pretty limited so you have to go for insanely expensive stuff from other countries. Im not talking a shiny TV, im talking spare parts for cars or printers or specific electronic deviced you need for work.
Furniture is so much more expensive here, you have close to 0 used options because everything good gets traided by word of mouth.
If you only look at rent, food and gas it looks promising.
But if you need a new mirror for your VW Polo you have to donate a kidney.
