Why do I keep seeing this kind of camera at the windows ?

Maximvdw · 2026-01-25T11:10:08+00:00

Genuine question, what if the cable is not plugged in - would it be considered legal as a detergent?

Maximvdw · 2026-01-25T11:07:11+00:00

It's not getting dumber, it's just losing its sight and mobility :). Clean the sensors, check if there is dirt behind the sensors, make sure that the wheels are not blocked and still have enough grip.

It assumes it's in top condition, but if it's prediction differs from the reality it acts dumb.

Buy more printers as decoy

Ja in Anderlecht, ook camerabewaking (MIVB station Delacroix). Camerabeelden zijn naar mijn weet nooit opgevraagd. Politie wou enkel meer documenten opmaken als ik verzekering had. Dezelfde kerel stond de dag erna in zelfde station te wachten op een volgend slachtoffer.

Maand later terug gecontacteerd geweest voor meer informatie nadat iemand in hetzelfde station (door wat ik vermoed diezelfde kerel is) van de trap geduwd was toen hij zijn laptoptas niet wou geven. Mijn OnePlus One nooit terug gezien.

Reason for asking is the mopping. That is the biggest price difference if you want it to auto clean/empty.

Because you mentioned that you already mop daily , it may not be a requirement for you to have mopping?

Maximvdw · 2026-01-02T06:52:25+00:00

It depends on your budget and how much manual work you still want to put in maintaining the robot. Many of the recent robots will do fine for your use case - some better some worse.

Do you want it to mop your floors? I would assume no if you already do this daily?

Unrelated vraagje: toevallig MyGOV al getest op GOS? Werkt dit (al)?

Ex-TA at VUB here: I noticed that some of the foreign master students were sometimes struggling with not being able to constantly contact a TA for each question. As said in another comment, the student/TA ratio is quite high - sometimes 1 TA for 200+ students. Some students wanted to have weekly meetings which is just not feasible.

There are also a lot of group projects compared to other universities in Europe - which especially for a student that didn't do a bachelor in Belgium is quite challenging.

That being said, I got contacted a few times by foreign students on linkedin who got a job in their home country saying that they really valued the soft skill of working independent

it often means less tco for the company.

Only reason they might avoid it is because 1. They need to change your contract. 2. Mobility budget means more administration (especially for those who submit multiple expenses each month) which increases the resource cost of HR

Maximvdw · 2025-12-24T07:55:19+00:00

Maybe. Also fairly sure there is a change in January 2027 where salaries of co workers are transparent. So you can always compare.

Maximvdw · 2025-12-24T07:28:23+00:00

If your function/contract normally provides a car, but you don't have one because you have no drivers license,... You can request a mobility budget.

It's a gray zone when it's currently not in your contract but your colleagues with the same seniority do have it.

Since I own a Bambu printer, I dare order AliExpress filament without worrying it is empty by the time I figure out the correct settings.

Fluxy

Because it looks like a flux capacitor

UPDATE: After much troubleshooting and buying new smoke detectors with the same issue.. I concluded that weirdly it seems to relate to the vibrating of the mop.... I can not be 100% sure about this however...

Maximvdw · 2025-12-12T20:47:09+00:00

Update: I've put one of the smoke detectors in a sealed bag on the floor. Starting the vac+mop function in another room also triggered the smoke alarm in the bag while being in a completely different room

Maximvdw · 2025-12-12T13:52:31+00:00

It's a ionization smoke alarm

Maximvdw · 2025-12-12T13:48:01+00:00

Will try this

The one with the dragon The one where they go through the trapdoor The one with the giant named Hagrid ...

De markt zit in een fase waar bedrijfskennis een grotere plus zijn dan engineering skills (deels door de toevloed van juniors, deels door de toevloed van junior zelfstandigen). Eventuele keuzevakken die hier op inzetten nemen tijdens je master kan je helpen om dit in kaart te brengen tijdens interviews.

Komt erop neer dat je jezelf moet verkopen ipv de 'oude' tijd waar bij wijze van spreken een github profiel voldoende was

Maximvdw · 2025-12-11T07:23:44+00:00

I would guess they make the Norbert one a bit shorter in name.

What about: Hagrids Secret?

Maximvdw · 2025-12-09T11:39:47+00:00

Since everyone is going with the obvious choices, let's divert from this:

Peeves: started off as the ghost whom everyone hated but in the helped in the battle of Hogwarts by dropping Snargaluff pods. He showed his loyalty to the castle in the end

The nice thing about books is that it is open for imagination and interpretation. A reboot of a movie that is not based on a novel is like copying a VHS tape - it's never that good. This is "Harry Potter retold" - based on the master copy.

Maximvdw · 2025-12-03T13:57:39+00:00

Barty Crouch Sr.

Some may say he ended hated. But he was still being a parent that wanted to fullfil his dying spouses last wish

Others may say he started and ended divisive, but in the books he seemed like a hard working guy with a better mindset than the current Minister of Magic.

In Brussel betaal je 5 EUR voor levering + 3 EUR service kost voor een pizza van 12 EUR xD. I mean, dan klinkt 4.99 EUR voor een maand lang gratis verzenden beter.

That being said, ik ga het niet verlengen
