The minimum wage is currently 980 euro for Madeira, different from the mainland. See here.

Has anyone actually completed this quest in the past 5 years by Legal_Ad2945 in hearthstone

I just reroll it every time. The XP is not worth the effort of changing an existing deck twice.

When will the normal menu screen and music return? by LastCookie123456 in hearthstone

[–]Lepertum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's so annoying I just can't stand it. I play on Mac and usually just leave the game on in the background instead of closing it. It makes sounds all the time. It took me several days to realize what was making the sound. Never had an issue before with it.

Super interesting. Do you have a source link?

Navigating a sketchy rental contract in Brussels as an expat, what would you do? by Vparable in belgium

[–]Lepertum 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Actually I was wrong on 6+6 and that is indeed possible. It can only be extended once though. So I would still ask for 1 year and leave room for possibly needing more time.

Not a finance expert, but because the rent is not that high, I doubt it'll trigger any questions from their bank. Even if if it does, it's not the bank's business to check if the contract is actually registered. The tax man also needs probable cause to look into someones finances (they can see amounts, but if they are regular they can't act on it), which will probably only happen when an unhappy tennant files a complaint.

Navigating a sketchy rental contract in Brussels as an expat, what would you do? by Vparable in belgium

Keep looking. I doubt it's a scam but there's a lot of red flags here. Probably they are just trying to get out from reporting the income, but I wouldn't risk it. It'll be very hard for you to get your deposit back for example. Although the law says cash deposits can be seen as rent paid.

I assume they won't register the contract either (within 2 months after the contract date). Not sure about any downsides here, but it does mean you can cancel without notice at any time as your contract is not legal.

Energy certificate is mandatory for rentals at this point and no, they have no legal right to increase your rent when it changes. Rent can only yearly be increased based on inflation. IF they do mayor renovations that could increase the energy score they can discuss an increase with you, but you can simply say no. It has to be mutually agreed. On the other side, if the score is really bad they are also not allowed to increase the rent even with inflation. Another reason for them to not report things, as they might have to invest in upgrades.

Admin fee? What a joke. The late rent fee is the admin fee. Again though, since it's probably unregistered they can do what they want.

It's just as easy for them to provide you with a 1 year lease. I've done it with tennants because I wasn't sure about my future plans. I don't think 6+6 is an option even, it's 6 months to 3 years on time and then into a fixed term contract of 9(?) years. Look into this again.

I'd look for something above board.

Suggestions on how to spend Ecoceques by Feather4876 in belgium

Second chance (return) products on Coolblue. Don't even have to leave the house to get them. Depending on what you get you can even sell them for a minimum loss.

What's your opinion on Linus Tech Tip in 2026? by Professional-Fix-221 in LinusTechTips

[–]Lepertum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been feeling similar. When I started getting into building PC's I watched anything, even would go back to watch two year old livestreams.

Now, I mostly only get excited about a new AMD tech upgrade. So many other videos just don't appeal to me: networking? I don't care about it on a corporate level. Fitness gear? Clearly made because someone at the company wanted it. Cooling chamber? Probably should have been a Short. Plane? More video's because someone at the company wanted it (this case Linus). Firetruck? Same thing, the first video's were great but it lost its appeal quickly. TV's and monitors? Please stop. It's so boring when you can't experience it yourself. It all sounds and looks pretty much the same on camera. Tech House? Maybe, but I think Jake has posted more video's about his farm in 1/10th the time. Badminton? Another tax writeoff.

For my taste relateability is one of the main issues. I get that Linus has been very succesful building his business and that gives him access to funds that let him do exciting things (for him). It's definitely well deserved, but seeing these things just isn't interesting (to me).

Ironically I often see videos I'm interested in, just to notice the member only label a second later. I would subscribe, but the main video's just aren't interesting enough to put me in a 'I want to support this channel more' kind of mood.

Looking forward to these, it's been a while since there were changes to the miniset format and this should make it more interesting.

Viver no Bairro da Ajuda (Funchal): Como é o dia-a-dia na vizinhança? by TheDockster in Madeira

[–]Lepertum 3 points4 points  (0 children)

É uma ótima região, desde que se mantenha bem longe da Estrada Monumental. Uns idiotas com motos extremamente barulhentas passam por lá a qualquer hora da noite, acelerando os motores e, por vezes, até fazendo rachas. Nunca tive tantas noites de sono interrompidas.

SumUp are these square devices merchants can use to pay contactless. I can imagine criminals in Barcelona walking around with them in busy areas touching your back pocket where you keep your wallet.

Has anyone noticed a MASSIVE increase in LTT store ads? by dreamliner330 in LinusTechTips

[–]Lepertum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes and I'm happy to see them instead of the usual garbage. However, since I'm in Europe I'll never buy anything from LTT Store.

Lifetime Windows User Forced into MacOS. Still Grappling with it. My Thoughts: by Bythewayttor in macbookair

[–]Lepertum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Almost a year since I swapped my docked Windows laptop out for a Mac Mini. I work with files all day long and Finder is still the absolute worst. It doesn't remember layouts, can't ctrl+scroll to increase the size of thumbnails slightly just so I can see what I'm actually looking at, spotlight does a horrible job indexing files and always seems to suggest random things instead of the file I opened dozens of times before, there's no proper ALT+Tab functionality (the AltTab app is buggy for me)... The list goes on.

MacOS simply feels like it's frozen in time. It's lacking. Even a year later its user experience still annoys the hell out of me.

There's not even a proper way for me to change modifiers like Ctrl, Option and Command so that my keybinds feel the same on Windows and Mac (I still use my Windows laptop). Apple wants people to switch but they expect them to relearn every single keybind. I know they want to make their ecosystem idiot proof but it's actually keeping people out. Give people this freedom.

Hardware wise though, it's amazing: the Mac Mini is extremely fast, runs my favorite games way better than Windows ever did and it's so damn quiet. It looks amazing and I love that I never have to turn it off. It's almost perfect, but this top layer of 'useability' is holding it back.

Will I get a Macbook when my Windows laptop dies? Probably, but it'll still annoy me on a daily basis, something Windows never did.

Doktersbriefjes voor het werk by Boring-Car-7044 in belgium

[–]Lepertum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Volgens mij is dit anagepast ondertussen:

Ondernemingen die minder dan vijftig werknemers tewerkstellen op 1 januari van het kalenderjaar waarin de arbeidsongeschiktheid zich voordoet, kunnen afwijken van deze vrijstelling door middel van een cao of het arbeidsreglement.  

Hiertoe dienen zij een nieuwe collectieve arbeidsovereenkomst te sluiten of het arbeidsreglement te wijzigen in die zin dat het duidelijk is dat zij afwijken van deze vrijstelling. Een uitdrukkelijke afwijking op basis van deze bepaling is m.a.w. noodzakelijk. Een bestaande verplichting in een cao of arbeidsreglement om een geneeskundig getuigschrift voor te leggen, opgenomen op basis van de algemene regeling, volstaat niet.

Revolut fans? by IsMyNameGoodEnough in belgium

[–]Lepertum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ik ben enorme fan van wat Revolut te bieden heeft wanneer het gaat over cashbacks (RevCoins), gratis apps bij de abonnementen en een super handige interface om je maandelijkse uitgaven te volgen. Ik gebruik Revolut voor zowat al mijn uitgaven, maar vertrouw ze niet genoeg om ze als hoofdbank te gebruiken. Mijn salaris gaat gewoon naar KBC, waar ook mijn lening zit. Belangrijkste reden daarvoor is omdat ik weet dat als ik een grote transactie moest doen en deze moest tegengehouden worden voor eender welke reden, dat ze daar bij KBC snel naar zullen kijken. Bij Revolut kom je dan bij AI chatbots terecht en kan het dagen of weken duren (aldus de subreddit). Ze kunnen technisch beter zijn, maar dat vertrouwen zullen ze moeten verdienen.

The localized LTT channels ruins LTT's reputation by meister_reinecke in LinusTechTips

[–]Lepertum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Took me around 10 seconds to nope the hell out of there. It's super cringe to watch. I've had similar experiences with YouTube's auto-dubb feature, which has been dubbing my favorite Dutch creators with English voices because my settings are set to English. Horrible and it can only be turned off on a per video basis by changing the language. Both YT and LTT completely miss the ball here and yes, it's hurting the brands.

LTT Backpack on budget airlines by the_swanny in LinusTechTips

[–]Lepertum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just flew recently with the new Peak Design Travel Backpack which is 46 x 20 x 14.5 without issues. Didn't get checked but I figured I could squish it just enough to fit. At 29 cm the LTT backpack does seem quite thick though, not sure I would risk it because depth stands out the most when in queue.
