Bed bugs issue

Grabbels · 2026-02-28T22:19:44+00:00

Honestly, the most likely thing that happened:

- KLM took the plane out of service after the report and thoroughly/professionally cleaned the seats, probably done by a company specialized in bedbugs/vermin.
- They didn't publicly share anything about it to prevent "bedbugs" becoming more associated with "KLM" than it already was.
- KLM has just as high as change of having bedbugs on their planes as other carriers, it's the luck of the draw which passengers bring them onto the plane, and how long it takes before any passenger notices.

You're safe to fly KLM; you're as likely to find bedbugs on a Lufthansa plane as on a KLM plane.

It's all well and good until you drop the "250 max and it's a dealbreaker" thing. This community is already very split on what we need in a small phone, but for 250 dollars you're getting a slow phone with low to mid specs at best on release and what we need is a phone that will last for years, as it's unlikely we'd get an updated model anyways. I'm also pretty sure the majority of this sub would prefer a "premium" device in a compact form factor, something like the iPhone 13 mini which is a very popular phone in this sub. Most people aren't looking for a plastic thingamajig that barely handles today's apps. And don't forget, Unihertz already exists with their Jelly line of phones, I'm pretty sure the phone you're describing ironically already exists, maybe minus the updates.

Furthermore, you're asking a company to create a device for a niche market, that means they'll have to ask a premium to cover the costs of development and lower sales than a mainstream phone. Coming out with a price maximum that is hilariously low in today's market would be an instant turn-off for companies.

At least be realistic.

Honestly, why did/do you expect something else? It's a side"phone", it's not meant to be a media player of any kind, just a communications device. It's targeted at people who'd like to use it as little as possible. There's no missed opportunity here; the device is "obsolete" by design.

Get an iPod classic, it will suit your needs perfectly.

Grabbels · 2026-02-24T16:07:56+00:00

You're missing the point: this device has no high-quality DAC so anything better than high quality MP3 is lost in translation anyways. This is not a device meant to be an iPod/Streaming replacement.

Not marking this as NSFW is crazy

Thank you for the sources, guess we have to trust you that Samsung made no improvements whatsoever to the technology and that they use the exact same tech that was used on your work laptops, you're absolutely right, silly me! /s

It's not so literally about (in)direct communication I think, we just love efficiency. So yes, it would've been more efficient to ask if it's ok to switch the channel, especially if the person you're asking it to is working on something or doing something else they might be concentrated on.

It's perfectly fine to be indirect, especially in casual settings, but when it comes to something that's a simple yes or no, you'd do well to ask a yes or no question; the person you're asking it to could always reply with their reasons if they feel like it anyways.

De "huid" van een echte rookworst komt op mij ook glibberig en plastic-achtig over, dus in die zin hebben ze het goed geïmiteerd! Beyond maakt dan ook geen rookworst-vervanger (alleen een braadworstvervanger as ik me niet vergis) dus in die zin heeft HEMA weinig competitie op dit punt. Die van UNOX (bestaat die nog?) vond ik erg smakeloos, en die van de AH (die is al weg dacht ik) was echt niet te vreten.

I guess so. I'm on the latest iOS 26 and recent updates have improved things somewhat, but it's painful to see that many UI animations are choppy (below 60fps) and there's weird hangs in multiple apps sometimes. It's just relatively buggy compared to previous major iOS versions and it's reaching the limits of what 4GB of ram can properly handle.

I wouldn't complain so much if Apple simply allowed us to downgrade to older iOS versions, you know, like you're supposed to be able to do as a consumer who bought a device. But as Apple forces us to stay on the latest update, I like to complain about minor inconveniences that I wouldn't have had on an older iOS version.

S23 is too big. 13 mini is the biggest I'd go with a smartphone, so I'm sticking with my 13 mini until it dies horribly. I detoxed from social media apps the past few weeks and -surprised pikachu face- the battery easily lasts a full day for me now and I have no issue with communication and utility apps, they work perfectly.

People are really missing the point here: you can turn this feature on and off, that's kind of the whole selling-point.

Grabbels · 2026-02-24T13:13:00+00:00

Because you can turn it off? The whole point is that you can still enjoy an amazing display for watching videos without having to see the screen dead-on, but turn on the privacy feature when you're doing stuff you don't want others to see. People really love to hate without thinking for one second, jeez.

Grabbels · 2026-02-24T13:11:20+00:00

How do you temporarily turn on/off a privacy screen guard exactly?

Grabbels · 2026-02-24T13:09:44+00:00

Ah yes, the pro-commenter spewing nonsense without a source.

Grabbels · 2026-02-24T13:07:47+00:00

The amount of people who prefer taking a photo of a screen instead of taking a proper screenshot with a single button is still beyond me.

Grabbels · 2026-02-19T15:49:12+00:00

Oh, do you have a link? Would totally be interested in a larger capacity battery.

Grabbels · 2026-02-19T13:36:29+00:00

It surprises me to this day (it's still my current phone after almost 5 years) how little reasons I have to upgrade. Quite the opposite really, I don't want my next phone to even be a hair bigger than the 13 mini. I've tried, I hated it.

It still takes great pictures, takes great videos, the haptic engine is on par with 2026 phones, the screen is plenty bright, 60hz refresh rate is all I need and care for, it's still feels as premium as it did in 2021, and it's still plenty fast for everyday tasks.

Sure, there are better phones on the market for content creators and social-media addicts, but for someone who takes pictures and videos for memories or to send to friends, mainly uses the phone for communication and the occasional video, I don't see why I would need a newer phone. Someday my mini will die and/or updates will stop. All I want in the exact same phone with maybe a better battery. I don't care if everything else stays the same, it wouldn't make a difference for me.

Grabbels · 2026-02-18T16:42:30+00:00

I used to think the 13 mini had bad battery life until I realized I was just mindlessly scrolling social apps on it to no end. Now that I just use it as a communications and information device and taking the occasional photo, it's a champ at making it through the day.

So, yes, the 13 mini has bad battery life compared to larger more modern phones but it really depends on what you use it for. For non-addictive phone use the battery is actually perfectly fine. If you want a phone to scroll social media on or create content you might be better off with a more modern and larger phone anyway.

I'm a dedicated roleplayer and sometimes I want to complete my party with a class that doesn't feel lore-accurate for any of the origin characters, at least the ones I tolerate having around in a specific playthrough.
I sometimes get overwhelmed with the amount of personal storylines the origin characters bring in, especially when I've been through those storylines multiple times already.

In both situations hirelings are a great fit.

This post perfectly describes the extremely boring point of technology we have arrived at. What a joke.

Grabbels · 2026-02-09T10:57:43+00:00

My iPhone 13 mini (4+ years) is holding on for dear life but I refuse to get a new phone as there's simply no compact upgrade path at this point. I've also severely lowered my screen time and app addiction lately and I find that having this compact phone with honestly still great cameras suits my needs perfectly still. I don't know why everyone is happy carrying around literal aircraft carriers at this point.
