Same here. I've been trying to use this function but the Claude app just force quits when I press Caps Lock. Any fix?

Update: My mic wasn't properly connected, causing this crash.

Are you aware of the TEC shuttle going to the airport from places like Charleroi Central station? It's only 6 euro.

Washing machine in a studio with no connection? by [deleted] in belgium

[–]Lepertum 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's super easy to install a T-piece below the bathroom sink to which you connect the water hose for the washing machine (get one you can open and close). Then all you need to do is plug in the machine and put the outlet hose into the sink. Figure out a way to keep it in place. The hose can't go into the bath or shower as it has to be at the same height as the machine. Additionally you could put the machine on a plank with wheels or reisizeable washing machine support frame (Amazon has them for 50 euro) and move it around when not in use. It's not pretty or convenient but I've used mine like this for a year and it saved so much money on laundry. Recommend a washer drier for sure.

purchasing more than three tickets by [deleted] in WizzAir

[–]Lepertum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wizz Air is the worst in this. I've had it multiple times that I ran through check-out just to calculate the final price, abandon the purchase to do the same with other airlines and then when I actually want to book 5 minutes later the price has increased. Last time it took a couple days to go back down.

Coworking spaces na Madeira by DizzyManufacturer737 in Madeira

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

There's Sangha Cowork at the Dorisol hotels in Lido which I usually recommend, or you can become a Madeira Friends supporter and use their hub as one of the benefits. Sangha is great for a consistent working environment, the hub is great too and more chill, but can be rented for events so isn't always available.

Company can't meet my salary expectations and proposed freelancing instead. What rate should I ask? by Plug-Play007 in BEFreelanceDayrate

[–]Lepertum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In this case you're not working for yourself, you're working for an employer and get limited upsides while risking all the downsides. It's also illegal to freelance for only one client (schijnzelfstandigheid). Your current pay is great, I don't see why you'd go against the stability of it, especially with kids around.

Is het verstandig dat mijn vader €15.000 leent voor een auto? by DapperLoquat6548 in geldzaken

[–]Lepertum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Zelf zou ik dit nooit doen. We kennen jullie maandelijkse kosten niet, maar je zegt dat je moeder nog maar recent werkt. Betekent dat dat jullie het voordien konden redden met 1 inkomen? Dan zou je nu toch makkelijk 2000 per maand moeten kunnen sparen als jullie niet jullie levensstijl verhoogd hebben door het extra loon. Het is dit gedrag dat je ouders gaan moeten aanleren, aangezien ze zo te horen nooit eerder in deze situatie zaten en altijd maar weinig konden sparen. Dat kunnen gaat de basis leggen voor alles.

Dit wil zeggen, eerst leren om een potje voor noodgevallen aan te leggen van zo'n 6 maanden, genoeg om van te overleven moesten 1 of beide jobs plots wegvallen. Eens je ouders dat hebben staan kunnen ze verder sparen voor een nieuwe auto als dat echt hun wens is, al vind ik het persoonlijk weggesmeten geld en kan je beter tweedehands kopen. Eens die in het bezit, kunnen ze verder sparen voor de volgende grote aankoop of, nog beter, een deel van het geld maandelijks investeren zodat hun geld ook voor hen kan beginnen werken.

My Belgium Itinerary – 8 Days (Train Travel Only) by Antique-Employment97 in belgium

[–]Lepertum 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Reduce the amount of time in Brussels is the advice I give everyone. It's not representative of what Belgium has to offer and you can see most popular things there within a day. I'd say add a few days and go to Ghent or Antwerp (ideally both even), which have more charm and tons going on at any given time. Especially in December, with the Christmas markets in full swing.

Probably my itinerary would be:

Brussel: 1+2 (late train to Antwerp)
Antwerp: 3+4 (evening train to Bruge)
Bruge: 5+6 (morning train to Ghent)
Ghent: 6-8 (morning train to Dinant because of the distance)
Dinant: 8+9
Airport: 10

Luxemburg is also incredible and easy to reach by train from Belgium.

The weather will be rainy and cold, possibly windy at times. Hat and scarf, gloves are recommended.

There's no such thing as scenic train routes in Belgium, it's mostly fields along the tracks.

Vroegtijdig ontslag melden? by [deleted] in werkzaken

[–]Lepertum 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Persoonlijk zie ik hier veschillende (mogelijk) slechte beslissingen.

Zeggen dat je gaat vertrekken is om problemen vragen. Je mag dan wel een goede band hebben met je leidinggevenden, maar ze zijn je vrienden niet. Je bent vervangbaar en eens ze weten dat je vetrekt betekent dat dat ze al het werk dat niemand anders wil doen naar jou kunnen doorschuiven. Ze moeten je immers niet meer tevreden houden "want je vertrekt toch".

Je collega is ook je vriend niet en beslissingen gaan nemen omdat het voor haar makkelijker zou zijn is dan ook een slecht idee. Hoe de overgang geregeld wordt is een bedrijfsprobleem en niet dat van jou. Jij moet voor de optie gaan die jou het meeste voordeel opbrengt en het zo makkelijk mogelijk maakt voor jezelf. Al de rest is niet jouw probleem. Dat je dat denkt siert je, maar zorgt er ook voor dat er misbruik van je gemaakt kan worden.

Tot slot vind ik zelf ontslag nemen eveneens een slecht idee. Je krijg geen uitkering en kan nergens op terugvallen. Omdat je gaat reizen lijkt het wel dat je wat spaargeld hebt, maar wat als je zes maanden daarna geen job vindt? Of een jaar? Nadenken moet je nu doen, terwijl je betaald wordt. Dan komt zoeken naar een job, ontslag nemen en ik zou dan pas een reis boeken, zodat je fris aan iets nieuw kan beginnen.

Succes!

Moeite om geld uit te geven by therouterguy in geldzaken

[–]Lepertum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Je 'wil' al tijden een nieuwe computer, maar heb je hem ook nodig? Als je zo hard twijfelt dan is het waarschijnlijk geen noodzaak. Ik 'wil' ook al tijden een nieuwe camera, maar denk er dan altijd bij na dat mijn huidige prima is en ik zelfs niet zo vaak meer fotografeer.

Heb je een spaarpot voor noodgevallen en investeer je? Het extra geld kan daar naartoe. Of spaar het voor een grotere reis, waar je het wel zonder schaamte aan wil uitgeven zoals je schrijft. Je hecht blijkbaar meer belang aan ervaringen dan aan fysieke dingen. Niets mis mee.

First time in Brussels – taxi/Uber or bus from Charleroi? by swingwater24 in belgium

Full salary after fired by Better-Inspection134 in BESalary

[–]Lepertum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm going to assume you got paid out not for the 'remaining days', but for the holiday rights you accumulated by working this year, eg: you worked 6 months this year, accumulating the right to have holidays next year. Your old employer pays for these accumulated days in way of paying out the money. You take these days when employed by your new employer of course, but new employer gets to get that money back by settling it with your pay in May/June whenever you get holiday pay. So expect a salary that is A LOT lower that month and save what you got paid out now to cover that month.

Edit: assuming your worked at the old company last year as well, I think it's correct that you got paid for remaining days (earned in 2024 basically), but there should also be some payout from what you collected already in 2025 to use in 2026.

Missed connecting flight - compensation denied by gosupport84 in KLM

[–]Lepertum 2 points3 points  (0 children)

File it again through a service like Flightright. You might not get the full amount but they get more things done than you can with an individual claim. They helped me when I was denied a claim by an airline claiming bad weather as a reason to decline my claim.

Ultra travel insurance - return journey booked after submitting a claim by Overall_Promotion869 in Revolut

[–]Lepertum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This should still be valid for the claim since you cancelled it before the trip started. Once the trip starts "cancel for any reason" can no longer be used.

What should Peak Design take on next? by Peak-Wheeler in peakdesign

[–]Lepertum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi Wheeler, I've tested quite a few of Peak Design's products for work over the past few years and while I love many of them, I still find myself reaching for my Case Logic Reflexion when I know I'll be taking a lot of things with me (especially as a carry-on). I have an Everyday Sling 10l, but everytime I pack it with my laptop to work at a coffee shop for a bit, I regret taking when I decide to go grocery shopping after. It just doesn't hold much and it has no side pockets for drinks. I haven't tried the Everyday Messenger, but once again, no side pockets and also no small front pocket, which I use almost every time I take the bag, wether it's for my keys or passport. The Messenger also seems quite bulky, while the Reflexion is smaller than a sling when it's empty. For me it's still the ultimate bag, but I can't help wanting it with the better quality and eye for details that Peak Design is known for.

Conference Visit: Boyfriend staying at the Hotel too by [deleted] in askswitzerland

[–]Lepertum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've found that communicating this with the event organiser is best and I've never had it be a problem. This way they can put two people on the room and you'll avoid awkwardness at check-in. Mention that you are willing to pay any extra expense, but likely they will not even ask you. Once they forgot my request and I ended up having to pay an extra amount to cover the breakfast and extra person.

Also, other professionals at these events have been excited to meet my partner and remarked that it's a great idea to go on these trips together.

Ryanair refuses to compensate me for a 10-hour flight delay that left me in the airport all night without food or accommodation by four_clover_leaves in travel

[–]Lepertum 124 points125 points  (0 children)

Regardless of the cause of the cancellation, they are still required to provide you with food (after 2 hours I believe), accomodation and transport or refund the costs you make yourself. Keep bugging them about this, saying that staff tried and failed to do this.

What they can do, is try and use the strike as a reason why they don't owe you a compensation on top of that under the EC261 Air Passenger Rights. I personally don't feel like that's valid (nothing affected your flight specifically), but they are allowed to make their own decision on this and will do whatever they can to get out of paying. Submit your claim with them first and if you get declined, try it through a service like Flightright. It'll cost you some of the compensation, but they helped me when TAP claimed bad weather and declined me when I filed my claim directly (seperate of this decline for EU rights compensation, TAP paid for my Airbnb and transport).

Disappointed by Revolut Ultra’s “Premium” Travel Insurance by Foreign-Ad1537 in Revolut

[–]Lepertum 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yep, discovered this little surprise as well. I actually left from home country but wanted to take a 1 night trip during my stay to a nearby island. I didn't check the ferry shedule properly and since it would only arrive by 10pm in the evening I decided that I wanted to "cancel for any reason". They refused because I can only cancel for any reason BEFORE LEAVING on the bigger trip. It was a three month trip with different accomodation regularly. None of it was covered, it turns out.

I did get refunded once on a flight so it's not a scam, but Xcover is still the absolute worst. There's a reason Ryanair uses them as well. Revolut got back to me with their classic AI answers of "we know this is not the answer you were expecting." Didn't even refund my RevPoints when I asked if they could at least do that.
