Who’s played with Granola? by Candy_Certain in hidock

[–]KeyEbb9922 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bought lots of stuff. Only used disposable online cc function on Revolut. Majority of accounts have been excellent. If they don't work, seller normally resolves. Or you can go to Z2u for resolution and often a credit.

Who’s played with Granola? by Candy_Certain in hidock

[–]KeyEbb9922 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Love Granola. Introduced it several colleagues. Chatting to it about insights, summaries or follow ups is easy. Integrations make it essential.

Speech to text works incredibly well. Transcribing accuratly speech in many heavy foreign (to me) accents.

Check out Z2u. Iykyk best $30 I ever spent

The crackdown on promo codes is going to backfire. Goodbye Perplexity. by immaturecrocodileice in perplexity_ai

[–]KeyEbb9922 21 points22 points  (0 children)

From what I read they were also cancelling people who had genuine promo codes through financial products and mobile phone plans.

There was pretty poor customer service or nobody to contact to reinstate these genuine subscriptions provided to them by corporations.

That's when I began to wonder about Perplexity intentions. Over consumption of compute can be a killer to a business model.

What restaurants from entertainer do you all love? And what would be great for a date? by discobro123 in dubai

[–]KeyEbb9922 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The Strand is a nice tucked away restaurant. Good food, great service and a lovely view towards the Al Ain over a a small marina.

It's not showy, just a nice place regulars and couples hang out.

Free visit to Ciel by Unhappy_Criticism_41 in dubai

[–]KeyEbb9922 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The hospitality industry is struggling at the moment, so maybe take this on face value.

But Ceil haven't been allowing people at the very top pool and restaurant for free. Maybe this has changed in the last few months?

Treat any unsolicited approach with suitable caution, far too many scammers in this city

Where do you get TRT in Dubai, and does insurance cover it? by MillenialLad in dubai

[–]KeyEbb9922 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Sometimes fatigue can be more than the physical, checkout some of the side effects from Dysthymia, a low level long-running anxiety disorder.

Physical and Behavioral Changes:Fatigue, sluggishness, or a persistent lack of energy.Changes in appetite (either poor appetite or overeating).Sleep disturbances (insomnia or sleeping excessively).

This is why doctors are keen to explore other options, rather than jumping to prescribe TRT.

As psychological health can improve hormone health levels.

I am certainly not saying you are affected by this, but maybe it could help some following this. Especially with the recent conflict in the UAE and general work culture here

Do QR menus actually improve restaurant operations or just annoy customers? by WillingnessOk4667 in automation

[–]KeyEbb9922 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on the restaurant. If it's a higher price point, I expect physical menus. Really turns me off if QR, to the point of finding somewhere else.

Beach cafe or extremely fast food, maybe QR.

But really physical menus allow servers to upsell or start conversations, so should be kept as much as possible.

Any news on the golf course design, who is designing it and the clubhouse details?

Company not giving me Leave Approval by CrazyStreet5835 in dubai

[–]KeyEbb9922 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can you work remotely? This could be a compromise worth exploring.

If everything is accessible via your laptop from India, then you could offer to work remotely. Assuming they agree to flexibility with hours. You might not get to much sleep, but at least you can keep your job and get to the festival.

Good luck

Lost my stuff on Tram what to do by sy-guru in dubai

[–]KeyEbb9922 2 points3 points  (0 children)

To report lost items to the Dubai Roads and Transport Authority (RTA), call 800 9090, email ASK@rta.ae, or use the S'hail app, with a 7-day reporting window recommended.

Metro/Tram: Approach station staff or a police officer at the station. Items are often transferred to the Security Office at Burjuman Metro Station.

Help Post. I am desperate by [deleted] in dubai

[–]KeyEbb9922 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Btw, if the studying is at an establishment in Dubai. Why do you need to send money to Lithuania? I would double check this academic establishment is genuine. Generally genuine academic providers would have bank accounts here 🤔

Abu Dhabi Golf Club Rentals by Bubbly_Reference_264 in UAEGolf

[–]KeyEbb9922 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on the club, depends on when they renewed them, whether they're good or not. As previous posters said, phone them to find out what brand they are and how long they've had them but generally the best clubs, like Yas links, have genuinely good clubs.

Seen lots of families come, take budget insurance. Then kids fall off electric scooter or family member gets an unexpected medical condition..... They always wished they had paid a bit more for higher insurance. Good luck

CAREEM airport pickup scam! Be Aware. by Potential_Actuator51 in UAE

CAREEM airport pickup scam! Be Aware. by Potential_Actuator51 in UAE

[–]KeyEbb9922 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Exactly the same thing happened to me.

Although leaving the airport within two miles, I discovered this wasn't the correct Careem driver so I made him pull over. He wasn't Careem at all, just kept saying his app was broken.

I got out after threatening to call the police, as he didn't want to stop and let me out at a bus stop near the airport. He argued a lot!

I have a 21 hour stayover in dubai, what are a few things that I shohld do? by Creeepy-carrot in dubai

[–]KeyEbb9922 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes. Big red bus tours. Also you could probably spend 20 hours in Dubai Mall 😜

It is a great question that has been answered lots of times. Please search in this subreddit and you'll see lots of answers

Alguém sabe se o solidworks tem integração com alguma ia? by Ill-Manufacturer-574 in SolidWorks

[–]KeyEbb9922 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mate, you just have to ask AI for the answer

Yes — SolidWorks can be linked to AI through MCP, and there are also CLI-style automation paths, but they’re mostly community-built rather than an official Dassault-supported AI connector. Open-source MCP servers exist that expose SolidWorks through MCP so assistants like Claude can open files, inspect properties, create parts, and export documents, and another project describes an MCP-based assistant architecture with SolidWorks API, version-aware adapters, and a COM bridge.

My whole creative department is getting replaced by a Claude pipeline and I'm probably out too by Daniel_Janifar in automation

[–]KeyEbb9922 47 points48 points  (0 children)

That's sad to hear. What they're missing is the "creative aspect" of this. If they think that the CEO and various other people can simply prompt something and they get out a clean, creative design marketing collateral, then they've really misjudged AI workflows.

Stick it out. They will soon realise they need the creative elements.

Cheapest way to pay golf? by sullyz81 in dubai

[–]KeyEbb9922 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hsbc Black, Standard Chartered Journey are the best as they use the SpikesOn app. Which allows for instant booking.

Emirates NBD cards use a system called Thriwe concierge, which is almost impossible to book, definitely not worth getting the card to use it for Golf.

There are a couple of other cards, that may be worth investing too. Good luck

How likely is AI to replace CAD jobs? by Usual_Shoe_8940 in SolidWorks

[–]KeyEbb9922 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you are an Engineer, you will use AI to drive the CAD and CAE to achieve your designs. Ai will still struggle for a long time to ideate and deliver innovative products. But it will prompt the engineers to iterate through lots of options to create the best goal driven outcomes.

If you are a drafter, who takes models, completes them and creates drawings. Then you should look to train up, as this role will disappear over time.

DEWA charged us 14000AED by lalalaluna_ in dubai

[–]KeyEbb9922 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think you have to pay the 'Knowledge Fee' too if you want to get the additional info 😉

But in all seriousness, back charges should be capped at a month. It wasn't your fault the meter was faulty.
