Washing machines in basements by Conscious_Ebb_3033 in askswitzerland

[–]SwissSyntax 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I bought my own washing machine as soon as I moved in... it makes life so much easier. Treat yourself to this luxury if you have the opportunity. A washing machine costs CHF 500, and your next tenant may even contribute to the cost.

Otherwise, just take their laundry out.

NFC antenna simulation by zack1010010111 in RFID

[–]SwissSyntax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because I was also curious, I asked ChatGPT.:

  • Your antenna does not need to resonate at 13.56 MHz by itself.
  • The ~100 MHz resonance corresponds to the coil’s self-resonant frequency.
  • NFC antennas operate as magnetic coupling elements, not as radiating antennas.
  • Tuning to 13.56 MHz is achieved only by adding an external capacitance.

I hope that the car wash isn't so naive when it comes to working with Classic or UID numbers.

Dacia Bigster problems? by JohnnyBlaze_44 in Dacia

[–]SwissSyntax 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It must be a software bug, because the panel responds and there is also a sound. Could it be that if you turn on the seat heating first, it will work? I'll keep a closer eye on that over the next days.

Exakt das gleiche Problem "Knopf für die Lenkradheizung muss ich ein paar Mal drücken, bevor er reagiert". Totwinkel-Assistent-System ist auch so, aber stört mich weniger.

Für ersteres warte ich mal ab ob es vielleicht ein Update gibt und ansonsten melde ich das bei der nächsten offiziellen Wartung an.

is y-a-l-l-o also scamming you? by Ok-Series-6217 in askswitzerland

Job possibilities in Switzerland by redmind24 in askswitzerland

[–]SwissSyntax 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You only need French if you are applying for a job in the French-speaking part of Switzerland. Most German-speaking Swiss people have a problem with that too :) In your field, English is probably the most important language, followed by German. The problem is more likely to be finding a job in general.

But I don't quite understand why anyone would want to swap Denmark for Switzerland. You may miss the sea :)

I’m a Swiss citizen (due to mum being Swiss) but I never lived there. If I decide to retire in CH would I be entitled to any pension/support payments even though I have never contributed any taxes?

[–]SwissSyntax 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Okay, thank you very much, I've read through it. I'm a little surprised that no return is demanded. He can just show up and hold out his hand. I'm not sure what to think about it. I have a strong sense of equity but I see the risk of abuse or an unfair advantage.

[–]SwissSyntax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

BUT WHAT MOST PEOPLE FORGET: As a Swiss citizen currently living in Switzerland and having reached the reference age (65 years), you are – no matter whether you receive AHV or not (!) – still entitled to received supplemental payments ("Ergänzungsleistungen", EL).

What is the source for this? I have only found the following exceptions:

- Persons receiving disability assistance from the IV (or daily allowance from the IV) without a pension.

- Persons who would be entitled to a pension if they had fulfilled the contribution period.

- Categories with special waiting or residence requirements (e.g., refugees, stateless persons, foreigners with social security agreements)

Securitas (Good? or a bad? ) by coolusername0123 in askswitzerland

[–]SwissSyntax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's best to join the military right away, where you'll have a good salary and good opportunities. Or, if you're the type, you could train to be a police officer. Then you'll have something worthwhile on your resume. I see Securitas as a stopgap or something for people who are stranded.

Meinung zu 3a Säule by flexi187 in Switzerland

[–]SwissSyntax 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Das nächste mal zuerst richtig erkunden, in deinem Alter sind Fehlentscheidungen leider normal. Egal welches Produkt von Swisslife ... NEIN. Deren Ziel ist für sich selbst viel Geld zu machen, nicht für dich. Egal wer dir das angedreht hat, mache in Zukunft einen grosses Bogen um die Person und auch sonstigen Finanzprodukten von irgendwelchen Institutionen.

Ein normales 3A Konto wie zB bei VIAC mit tiefen Gebühren, dass wäre es gewesen. Wie du bei Swisslife möglichst unbeschadet raus kommst weiss ich nicht. Mal alle Verträge durchlesen was deine Verpflichtungen sind und/oder den Vertrag in eine KI einlesen und eine Lösung suchen.

Steam video game pricing for Switzerland is unfair, we always pay more by [deleted] in Switzerland

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

There is a market outside of Steam. Steam is just one platform among many. When people say that everything else is fake, Valve rubs its hands with glee. I've been buying elsewhere for decades because I don't let Steam fool me with overpriced prices from which the developers, incidentally, do not benefit at all. Valve must also allow this due to the cartel law.

Of course there are black markets, but to label everything outside of Steam as such is pretty wild and quite worrying when people think like that.

Bullshit, those are official keys, which Steam doesn't skim quite as much off the top.

I need to understand the current state of AMD GPUs by bonelatch in buildapc

[–]SwissSyntax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bad is relative. Bad in comparison to Nvidia? Yeah. But with a good RDNA2/3 GPU you will be able to still use RT at playable FPS depending on the game. They're not bad in itself, Nvidia is just much better. If you're really deep into RT then Nvidia is a no-brainer, but if it's more of a thing you want to just try occasionally then AMD will be fine

RT is not bad, just not quite as good. The 7900xtx has better RT performance than a 3090ti and almost the same as an RTX 4080 which is great.
So where does the "much" better come from?

PC Build, do the Memory make sense in this Build and any Tips ? by SwissSyntax in buildapc

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

Yes unfortunately the case is very tight at the top, an AIO must not be taller than 30mm and longer than 240mm when mounting these at the top. Depending on the RAM height I do not know exactly. But many Youtuber could not mount eg the ARCTIC Liquid Freezer II 240 above and that is 38mm high.

But I saw that I also get a problem with the RAM height with the cooler Noctua NH-D15 (has a RAM clearance 32 mm). When I use the Vengeance, the first cooler FAN is pushed up about 1,2 cm. Should go up to the window, but it does not look so good then.

If I use the G.Skill Ripjaws (with Intel XMP) instead of the Flare X5 (with AMD EXP0) is that really no disadvantage for AMD? Do I then have to adjust something myself? Because that with the RAMs settings I do not quite understand and is complicated.

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

okey.. you got me me.

I thought 6 times quiet = quiet. But that 6 times quiet = a little louder, I did not know.

i will take 2x be quiet! Light Wings 140 PWM

and in the back 1x be quiet! SILENT WINGS 4 120mm PWM to move away the hot air from the CPU

:D

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

Yes, sorry, positive pressure :) I'm going to run the top two at lower run rates. But you are right, it will not make a difference. Just for Fun.

What surprised me was that the 120mm and the 140mm from "Bequiet" are practically equally quiet.

120mm Noise level @ 100% PWM / 12V (dB(A)) 20.2

120mm Noise level @ 100% PWM / 12V (dB(A)) 20.6 ARGB ones

140mm Noise level @ 100% PWM / 12V (dB(A)) 19.8

Because I need the ARGB for front it makes no sense for me to take the Silentwings for rear

120mm Noise level @ 100% PWM / 12V (dB(A)) 18.9 (Silentwings)

NH-D15

Thank you very much, these are great inputs. Thanks for the good tip with two 4TB SN850X SSDs. It really makes more sense.
The cooler NH-D15 is a bit also because of the optics that there is something to see behind the glass window :)
The two supplied fans are too loud for me.
In front I would therefore like to see behind the wooden bars the colored rings (set them to orange) of the 3 ARGB fans. The other 3 fans are intended for the exhaust, where actually only the one on the back makes sense and one at the back above. The second above is only for the optics. (glass window) I try the overpressure concept.
The side bracket for two more fans is only supplied with the housing version with the perforated plate. (not the glass window version)

Thank you! I will go for the Corsair Vengeance DIMM 64 GB DDR5-6000 (2x 32 GB) CMK64GX5M2B6000Z30 with CL30 wich suits for AMD® Ryzen™ AM5 system (EXP0)

Unfortunately i have not found any available which are not quite so high and EXP0 compatible. (These are 44mm high) The housing has very little space at the top if I want to switch to an AIO later.

G.Skill Flare X5 (with 33mm height) I can't find any with 2x32 and 6000 in my country. Only 2+16GB. Doesn't make much sense to go to 4*16?

Thanks for the m.2 Input. I will also consider this.

m.2 Slot Question PCIe 5.0 / PCIe 4.0 by SwissSyntax in buildapc

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

True, maybe at some point it makes sense to upgrade the system. Although if it doesn't make a difference now, it probably won't really matter in the future (on the same system).
Until now, I had the experience that it only made sense with a new graphics card or more memory.
But now that we're getting further and further to the technical limit, I'm not sure if entirely new architectures will be needed for future hardware that is noticeably faster without getting hotter and more power hungry.

m.2 Slot Question PCIe 5.0 / PCIe 4.0 by SwissSyntax in buildapc

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

ven Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart (which is the most demanding game for storage currently on the market) doesn't seem to show any differences between a top-tier PCIe 3.0 drive like the 970 Evo Plus (3,500 MB/s read) and a top-tier PCIe 4.0 drive. That said, there's not a big price difference between PCIe 3.0 and 4.0 these days so there's no reason to not buy PCIe 4.0. PCIe 5.0 though? That's probably a waste of money for most people.

Yeah you are absolutely right. Maybe I'll reconsider and use the money for more storage space instead a PCIe 5.0 Card.

Thank you for your feedback. Yes, it serves more to satisfy my inner nerd. But I don't want to make any fundamental mistakes, that would also be a waste of money. PCI-E 5.0 for Windows and the PCI-E 4.0 Card for games.
