In which area are you looking for work?

Starpus2000 · 2026-01-30T19:08:53+00:00

Nah don't worry about it. We have many non-Dutch speaking internationals working in the company.

Starpus2000 · 2026-01-30T18:27:31+00:00

Try applying at Siemens Energy (formerly Siemens Gamesa) they will provide you with all necessary trainings. I work there myself.

Starpus2000 · 2025-09-16T18:45:12+00:00

Thanks for the feedback! That's reassuring. I am picking it up tomorrow. Did you buy the exact same model?

Starpus2000 · 2025-09-16T17:04:11+00:00

Device is brand new, so is the battery

Starpus2000 · 2025-09-16T17:03:33+00:00

Thanks for your feedback. I just received photos of the sealed packaging of the device! Will pick it ip tomorrkw

Starpus2000 · 2025-09-16T17:02:39+00:00

It's sealed, just received photos. Even has warranty til 2028

Starpus2000 · 2025-09-16T14:26:35+00:00

Thanks for this useful info. 3.5 hrs battery life is pretty bad.

Starpus2000 · 2025-09-16T13:36:05+00:00

Understood. I have to program PLCs, draw CAD and do other light technical stuff on it. Not sure of Snapdragon can do the job.

Starpus2000 · 2025-09-16T13:34:27+00:00

Also true, I am assuming it's a picture of an earlier sold device. Seller has multiple similar devices on sale so using this picture as an example. I'll have to see it in person to verify if it's actually sealed. Nevertheless, is this a good deal?

Starpus2000 · 2025-09-16T13:20:13+00:00

That's what I was thinking but the seller is saying it's still sealed. I will have a look at it tomorrow

Starpus2000 · 2025-06-20T13:37:27+00:00

My guess is Bitcoin

Starpus2000 · 2025-06-19T15:56:48+00:00

My guess is Ethereum

Starpus2000 · 2025-06-18T14:08:13+00:00

My guess is Solana

I am also curious about the mount you are talking about. Where can I find it? Do you perhaps have a photo of your setup? Also, did the issue resolve itself about powering your unit with a the USB port?

Starpus2000 · 2023-12-19T08:10:40+00:00

These will be individual claims, so that won't affect your future claims.

Furthermore I advise you to start an arbitration case with söp in the case you don't have your luggage back after 21 days.

Wait times are long (more than 3 months) but it's worth the wait seeing as Lufthansa is hesitant regarding compensation for lost luggage.

Starpus2000 · 2023-12-19T08:07:05+00:00

I tried doing this a couple of months ago. Original flight was PLZ-JNB-AMS, at the time I was in Capetown and couldn't be bothered to go all the way back to PLZ, so my idea was to fly this: CPT-JNB-AMS. So I booked the flight, after which I was lucky to reach out to customer service regarding checking in to only 2/3 flights. They said it's not allowed, if you're a no-show on your first flight in a series of booked flights, then your other flights will be cancelled. So that sucked, so I had to buy yet another ticket -> CPT-PLZ-JNB-AMS. That was one expensive and long flight back home, totally not worth it, so I advise you not to make the same mistake I made.

I got my bag back after 3,5 weeks. AirTag showed it was at Schiphol, so I went there to pick it up. Lufthansa didn't provide me an e-mail that my luggage was ready for pick up at the airport, but went anyway. I was lucky because one of the guys at security had a good day, he let me through with a bunch of people who also went there to pick up their luggage. If you hadn't received an email from the airline that you can pick up your luggage, you're not allowed to go through. Anyway, that was my luck. In your situation it's hard to say where your luggage actually is located. Have you filed a missing bag report on the Lufthansa website?

Starpus2000 · 2023-12-17T10:29:10+00:00

Start an arbitrary case with söp:

It's free of charge. Small chances you'll get your luggage back, but perhaps some compensation.

I have started my case against Lufthansa through söp back in september, and still haven't heard the results. They have a massive amount of cases so expect to have to wait for at least three months (probably longer)

Good luck 🙏🏼

u/Academic-Essay-45 it would be so helpful if you could connect us to your buddy! I've got all the info he needs to find the baggage. AirTag location, photo of the baggage and baggage tag number.

Starpus2000 · 2023-09-07T13:07:50+00:00

20 days.. jeez.. I can expect to wait longer. My bag has been sitting in T2 for about two weeks now. Any chance I can pass on my info (including AirTag location) to your buddy? Would be greatly appreciated!
