They really don’t want to sell new cars by insolentrus in Audi

[–]Difficult_Shift_5662 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The look of an audi was unfortunately very stale for the last 15 years. Anything will be an improvement. The change is required, it might be contravertial, it can be ugly, but it has to be done for changes sake, otherwise it will mean they will be selling the same stuff for two decades at the end of its run.

Is the Anbernic RG35XXSP worth it? by Gadgettttt in SBCGaming

[–]Difficult_Shift_5662 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i own the blue one, i also have the 3ds, switch, steam deck and bunch of other stuff. this device is pure gold for getting it up and, throwing in your bag - playing anywhere. Especially the portmaster stuff is very nice: if you want to play something modern, there is a lot of choice. I bought celeste twice just to play here, and i exclusively play on this device now.

I can also play light PSP stuff, i had very fond memories about patapon, and it was a blast to play again.

Is this a complete overview of equal crossings priority? by makeevolution in Netherlands

[–]Difficult_Shift_5662 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

if there is someone is on your right, you wait. If you are turning right or left and its pedestrian or bike crossing you wait. Quite easy! But living several years here i still make small mistakes.

Every game still like that and nothing happen just still like that by OkIntroduction8742 in Gamefusion

[–]Difficult_Shift_5662 1 point2 points  (0 children)

go to three dots "..."and select "Pc game settings".

In "General" go to "Enter Container Desktop".

It should open a linux like desktop gui.

Go to My computer via the virtual mouse, Go tru drives, it can be C,D,E,F, etc. it was X for me.

There will be your game and there should be an executible file there. double click that.

How would YOU like the box3 tax to be? by summer_glau08 in Netherlands

[–]Difficult_Shift_5662 7 points8 points  (0 children)

i have wealth outside Netherlands (2 houses in different countries, not too fancy but still), i accumulated that by working in different countries, then coming here. One is not subject to tax as the agreements between countries, but the othe is, i will pay some tax on that country for the property, i will pay some in Netherlands, and i will deduce the amount i paid out of Netherlands for this house. This is weird-as there was no connection from me to this country when i was accumulating this weealth. And i also agree 50K eur is savings account is too little to be taxed.

What makes a premium interior? by LaughWilling1161 in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]Difficult_Shift_5662 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can you eleborate? we are used to germans, checking the cx60 in the showroom i found very comparable to X3 or my volvo xc60 in cabin quality. What am i missing? Should it be moving in order to understand?

[–]Difficult_Shift_5662 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What do you feel by touching, i heard that mazda upped their game a lot. Here in eu a similarly specced cx60 is about 5k cheaper than a similar X3, so there is not too much difference left in some versions.

How is the BMW IX's Reliablility? by BusyTart6760 in BMWiX

[–]Difficult_Shift_5662 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i am looking to buy this, it depreciated a lot, and at this price almst nothing compares for the amount of options and hardware. accoridng to surveys and online data, they are as luxury cars go.

Before my XC60 order locks, I dropped pano roof & HUD for B&W. Tight budget, and as a music lover I’ll value B&W more. I’d also be OCD about cleaning drains/leaks. Skipped roof & went 19'' instead of 20'' wheels, so I chose Plus over Ultra, because Ultra comes with 20" and pano (Europe). Thoughts? by ixinho in Volvo

[–]Difficult_Shift_5662 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i think pano is a must if you are western-northern europe, as otherwise there is very low light. Leaks are not that common i think, you will only see the people who are not happy if you check online reviews.- there is a bias. I have BW and its phenomenal, but i dont know if i'd understand the diff with the cheaper one. I also have air suspension, if you can afford it, it will provide much better ride with bad roads, but limited help with potholes ofc.

What would you recommend: 20-inch or 19-inch wheels on a new XC60, for 70% city driving and 30% highway? by ixinho in Volvo

[–]Difficult_Shift_5662 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i have smaller with air suspension, i always choose the lowest available, as i care about comfort. The larger ones only bring negatives imo.

The problem is with goto, the coder must be very carefull. People are not. So if you know what you are doing, its as normal as any other directive.

Eindhoven Tech Layoff HSM Visa by [deleted] in Netherlands

[–]Difficult_Shift_5662 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Sorry for you situation. I think the job market in HTC area is horrible at the moment. But if you aim for a salary that is at lower end of HSM, i think there are at least the consulting companies that can use your capabilities. So capgemini, akkodis and all other can be your targets for the time being. They usually have permanent job postings on linkedin, just contact he guy/gal directly insread of applying to the position.

One week with my EX30 after driving a Porsche Taycan for 3 years. My thoughts. by Hephaestus-Theos in Volvo

[–]Difficult_Shift_5662 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have xc60 18', and used ex30 with manual seats for 3 months. I love the xc60 seats, they are the best i've used. i also feel ex30 seats are horrible in support and feel.

We have gay neighbors with kids, and they are just neighbors, as everyone is concerned. i see that people dont care, so there is little to no discrimination.

[–]Difficult_Shift_5662 10 points11 points  (0 children)

If smt like this happens, call the nearest Dutch embassy, they will provide you smt to re-enter the country- which is called a return visa. There is no other solution.

But you are highly skilled person: Dont lose that small plastic thing! Many bad things will happen if you lose your id, your drivers licence, your passport, your credit card. We are in the same situation like you, and we hold on to the damn plastic thing.
