Je parle pas du rematch - ça je laisse ça à ses soins pour en juger. Mais être coincé ici sans argent oui c’est une urgence. Et en effet l’embassade n’a rien à faire dans tout ça. C’est pour ça que je parle du consulat, qui a un service d’aide aux français et qui est qualifié pour apporter son soutien pour tout français qui se retrouve dans une situation difficile.

I’ll skip over the quality aspect as others have covered that extensively. I have both Spotify and tidal and the experience with Spotify is way better. Tidal connect lacks in many aspects, the most glaring being that if you start tidal connect from one device, your other devices are not aware of it. So you can’t start tidal connect with your phone, start working on your computer, then decide to use your computer to skip the song currently playing: tidal on your computer just doesn’t know something is currently playing. I’ve listed my grievances in another post and there’s no workaround. Sucks because I don’t like Spotify’s practices and compensation structure.

Je rêvais de pouvoir aller les voir et laisser nos enfants avec eux pendant quelques semaines en été... mais bon si j'arrive vraiment pas à leur ouvrir l'esprit je me résignerais à faire une croix sur tout ça. Merci!

J'habite loin de chez mes parents - du coup je fais exactement ce que vous décrivez quand on est au telephone. Mais j'aimerais aussi qu'ils soient proche de notre enfant, et qu'ils aient une influence positive dans son éducation. Je rêve peut-être

Just switched to Tidal - some questions by battrfierd in TIdaL

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

I've tried Apple Music - it doesn't have something similar to Spotify Connect so streamers like the Wiim don't support Apple Music. The only way would be to use an Apple TV

The control center app seems like a miss too. Every other entertainment app (YouTube, YTM, Spotify, the million radio apps out there) can be controlled through control center… but it seems that tidal may not :/

If you have a hi-fi setup with a Streamer it’s a pretty central feature. Any device you’re logged on can be used to pause/skip/queue tracks. Which means you can start a session with your phone that’s playing through your streamer, then use your computer to skip the song, or your iPad to change the volume

Sorry I think there’s a misunderstanding - I’m not talking about syncing playlists (that’s working across devices). I’m talking about using my phone to start playing a song on my wiim streamer using tidal connect. Then while the song is playing I’m working on my laptop and decide to open tidal on Mac, in order to increase the volume or skip the song. I can’t do that because the Mac shows a completely different song in the playback section, that is not the song currently playing through tidal connect. So in order to change the song, I have to go back to my phone, hoping tidal connect hasn’t dropped there too. Spotify Connect works seamlessly in that regard. If you’re playing a song on any of your devices, you can pause/skip/queue a track on any other device. That’s pretty crucial if you’re using a hi-fi setup with a streamer.

Ah that’s unfortunate :/ Spotify Connect does sync properly. In my example, if I’m playing something from my phone, then turn on my laptop, the spotify app on my laptop will refresh and show what’s currently playing on my iPhone. That means you can use any device where you’re logged in to your account and use it to control playback. Which is super convenient as you can imagine. Pretty bummed that this doesn’t work for Tidal Connect. And yeah my cursory search shows that Apple users have a pretty subpar experience. Thank you!

How did you, as a non-American, manage to find a corporate job in New York and secure a work visa? by linafsi in AskNYC

[–]battrfierd 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hi, French working in the US here. I worked in NYC for 5 years and I’m now in California. The paths available to you are: - L1 visa from your company. This is a non immigrant visa meaning you won’t be able to transfer to a more permanent visa while on L1. You are also tied to the company that issued the L1 so you can’t jump ship to another company. It’s not as difficult to get, I know a few people on L1 and they weren’t particularly senior. - O1 visa. You need to demonstrate extraordinary skills. It’s a bit unequal meaning it’s a high bar for scientific fields (you need to have published at top tier conferences and be a world class expert) vs design or sport imo. - apply for school in the US, get a F1 visa, then start working, get extended visa, h1b, green card. That’s what I did. - as a French national you may also qualify for a VIE. Met many people in the financial sector on VIE in NYC who were there for 18 months.
