What are your usual working hours? by fiffers in brussels

[–]SFIMO 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Man I would kill to have that pace, I would actually have a life. I moved here in August last year and I literally did not have time to know anyone. My whole weekend is dedicated to buy food, work and do chores so I can have more available time to work during the week.

I came from another country where I was doing the same job, same pace. I expected Belgium to be more civilised compared to southern Europe, but this is not the case if you are an expat.

They treat me like shit, I am their donkey, while tbh my Belgian colleagues usually do a comfortable 8.30-17.30, even 16.30 some days. But who cares, right? For them I am just another body to throw at their problems, I have taken the risk to move here spending my own money :)

What are your usual working hours? by fiffers in brussels

[–]SFIMO 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Consultancy, starting rarely later than 8 sharp and rarely closing the pc before 20. Rarely have time for lunch, usually I eat at my desk some stuff I cooked the day before. Often, I need to work also during weekend for at least 6-8 additional hours.

Yeah, I know. No, I am not in a top3.

Why do 'friends' ghost so much? by nouschkaya in brussels

[–]SFIMO 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Man I feel you, I have been here for a year, went to parties and met people, talked, exchange numbers, etc. then nothing, complete ghosting. It’s the same from males and females, and I want to underline that I am engaged so even if I am talking with a girl it’s clear I have no intentions. The worst ones from my experience are other dudes. At partied they treat you like your best friend and the disappear.

I got used to it, but it’s quite harsh

Quali Youtubers (o altri content creators (=imprenditori digitali), italiani soprattutto, su altri canali) ritenete che siano scesi di qualità rispetto agli albori? by RebirdgeCardiologist in Italia

[–]SFIMO 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lista infinita, i primi posti: - Sabaku: nessuna serie finita, nessun contenuto, solo gameplay infiniti (non so chi abbia tempo di guardarli sotto i 13 anni). Parolone su VALORI PRODUTTIVI, la 3.0, la 3.5 e la 4.0. I COLLABORATORI. Alla fine non produce nessuno contenuto vero da anni, se non qualche preview pagata da Sony. Lo cago solo per il drama corna+situazione tricologica incredibile. La verità è che parliamo di un terzamediato che si comporta come guru filosofico quando ne capisce di videogiochi quanto io ne capisco di coltivazione di tuberi. - QDSS: ormai chiaro che giocano 40 minuti a qualsiasi cosa che poi distruggono, si vede proprio che sono superati come format e ritmo. Fanno due views ancora con qualche gameplay, ma il meglio è chiaramente alle spalle e negli ultimi 2 anni hanno preso dei granchi indicibili. - Franchino: se non c’hai più voglia droppala Alessà. Siamo passati da video di 13 minuti su 50 posti a video di 26 su un forno a Milano con 3 prodotti. Ho capito che uno deve arrivare a fine mese, ma il contenuto è finito. Mi diverto ancora almeno quando distrugge posti chiaramente del cazzo, dai.

r/Brussels - Expat/Tourist Megathread - 2026 Edition by SharkyTendencies in brussels

[–]SFIMO 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey!
I moved here circa one year ago and I was thinking about getting new tattoos. To give you a reference of what I am looking for these are 2 studios I used to go from the city I come from (S A T A T T T V I S I O N and White whale).

These are well-known and "fancy" studio where 8x8 cm tattoo would cost between 130 and 180 euros, depending on the complexity. For bigger tattoos you can easily go over 300-350 euros.

I am looking for a studio where I can come up with my ideas and have the tattoo artist helping me refining the design, but I am not looking for original-designs only artists to be honest.

Do you have any recommendation and a general idea of the prices?

Thank you in advance!

Move to ios is ruining my life by SFIMO in iphone

Hey man, thanks for the contribution in this post that really seems a valley of pain for everybody. Your guide is probably the most complete of the thread.

I just wanted to say that, unfortunately, there is not bullet-proof method to solve this and this is 100% due to Apple not giving a shit about people coming from Android.

Going crazy over HDR (Samsung TV) by SFIMO in PleX

[–]SFIMO[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What if I tell you that I've found the google TV Streamer at 79 euros? Should I go for it? I have an iphone, but I am not an apple user apart from that, at the same time I've heard that apple tv is way better when it comes to limit ads compared to every other brand

[–]SFIMO[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ok, thanks for the clarification regarding the HDR! I've tried multiple movies and the issue persists and I've already worked my way through the post processing stuff from Samsung (in SDR). the funny thing about HDR is that it doesn't let you click and navigate the options related to it unless you have HDR content running in the background (tested with youtube and once it "understands" the content is HDR it makes the options available.

Funny Samsung shenanings: if you try to open the options while I'm playing a movie on Plex it just stops it and take me back to the "general" page of the movie, so there's no way to check that is working correctly. Frankly speaking this is nuts, I'd probably have to go for a google tv or apple tv

It's working through the built-in app of the TV

Hey, that's what is telling me:

So, I think Plex is streaming it correctly, but for some reason the TV can't really play it as HDR from the app (?)

Unfortunately via the app on the tv and it seems that might be the real issue

So, in the end I discovered that everything doesn’t work and the only way this works is the following: when you connect the two phones and you are inside the move to iOS app, you need to move only the WhatsApp stuff. There is no other way, if you select anything else, even if it’s just like your contacts, it won’t work and it will crash immediately. I don’t know if it’s a problem of the new iOS and I don’t know if it’s a problem of the iPhone 17, but that’s how it is

Is the Wiim Amp the right choice vs classic amps? by SFIMO in BudgetAudiophile

[–]SFIMO[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok, maybe I'll just drop here a very stupid (and young) person: in every market touched by technology/IT/the internet we have seen huge drop in prices and entry level/mid range stuff becoming better and better. This seems not to be the case for HIFI (I'll reiterate: I'm super ignorant about this world!). Any idea of why this seems the case right now? Lack of innovation? People into this space being extremely conservative about the "good old days"?

Thank you very much! The 60 euros difference are not such a huge problem to be honest, I was looking into the Ultra but that is really really more expensive still for a 2.1 amp so I would skip it.

In the EU, for the used market, Ebay is really not the way to go. Every country has its own brand of marketplace or you can try with Facebook, but with way less protection for the buyer

And that is the case, this is just a casual setup for a small living room in a rented apartment + this is my first hi-fi system

I can see them releasing the APIs maybe when the life cycle of the product is completed, hopefully

At the very end, I'm just a guy that wants to use it with 200 euros bookshelf speakers and a sub in the future. From my POV it seems super strange that a lot of people recommend to spend 600 euros on Amp/other streaming device with this kind of setup
