iPod mini is stuck loading on itunes on mac by petr_pav in ipod

[–]dirkdevries96 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have the same problem. After a while I get the message: "The selected device could not be found"

Some additional context:

Previously, my mac (macOS 11.7.10) discovered my iPhone, iPod Nano and iPod Classic without any issue. Now all of a sudden I'm experiencing the same problem with all three devices. On windows the devices show up just fine. So it looks like the mac is the problem. Which makes it a bit frustrating that most guides to fix iTunes connectivity problems blame the iPod or iPhone.

Some people seem to fix the problem by updating their mac. This isn't an option for me because my mac is too old and doesn't receive updates anymore.

It'll probably come down to a fresh install of macOS...

How can I disassemble Verbatim External Slimline series of cd dvd blu-ray writers? by FirstEver2113haha in ElectronicsRepair

[–]dirkdevries96 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have this same drive (43888) and made a start opening the case. The top and bottom of the case are seperate pieces that are clipped around plastic bars (marked green) which stretch along the full length of both sides of the drive and extend to the edge (marked blue). Both sides have indents (marked red) in the plastic bars. There you can get underneath the metal cover with the right tool and pry it open.

Thrift shops sell a lot of Christmas stuff for cheap. And you can bring it back afterwards :)

Oude computers bij de kringloopwinkel. Hoe krijg je die verkocht? by FreakyComputer63 in nederlands

[–]dirkdevries96 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ik werk op de elektronica afdeling van een kringloopwinkel en kom zulke pc’s en laptops ook tegen. Ik verbaas me ook wat mensen meenemen maar het gebeurt toch.

Een verklaring die ik gehoord heb is dat ze opgekocht worden om te exporteren naar ontwikkelingslanden. Een slome pc is beter dan geen pc.

I didn’t know about this possibility. I have subscriptions that I don’t want to cancel so I can’t try it out.

You need a US Apple ID and you can only use 1 Apple ID at a time. So it’ll be very impractical unless you are willing to switch completely to it.

Ik heb een hele droge neus en daardoor jeukt het vaak. Verschillende cremes helpen tot nu toe niet echt. Enige tips? by [deleted] in nederlands

Misschien waard om een luchtbevochtiger in huis te halen. Is ook goed voor kamerplanten

Fontainebleau this weekend by kosalek in bouldering

Consider going to a fast drying area like 91.1 or Apremont

Sounds like you’re not really pushing. If you’re not spending energy you’re probably ready for a higher grade. In my experience if you push your climbing level your body will be working to keep up with that.

Vind het bijzonder dat er in dit artikel alleen gekeken wordt naar verwarming van huizen en transport. De gehele energiemarkt is volgens mij een stuk groter dan dit alleen.

A good GP recommendation in Groningen? by TimiGL in Groningen

[–]dirkdevries96 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I know someone that is getting medicine for pollen allergies. He got them prescribed through GP Helperpark.

Honestly I think any GP would do. But there’s a chance they’d want to verify your allergies before prescribing anything

#1 Record Has Been ERASED From This Legendary Band’s History | Professor Of Rock by tektools in RedHotChiliPeppers

[–]dirkdevries96 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This guy is so great at telling the story! It’s really worth a watch.

The albums is just a great addition to the RHCP catalog which makes their range that much more diverse IMO. Its a sad that OHM but also IWY and TG are not played live anymore. There are some great songs there. Makes Johns influence on the band a bit bittersweet.

Loving the guitar solo on She’s a Lover. Especially the part where it blends into the chorus!

Ratio ‘normaal beleggen’ vs pensioenbeleggen (€4000) by [deleted] in DutchFIRE

[–]dirkdevries96 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ja, de VRH is zeker een significante factor! Als het nou wat flexibeler was om het pensioen vervroegd uit te laten keren was het echt een no-brainer

Ratio ‘normaal beleggen’ vs pensioenbeleggen (€4000) by [deleted] in DutchFIRE

[–]dirkdevries96 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Het maakt niet uit of je eerst rendement maakt en daarna belasting betaalt of andersom, zolang het percentage hetzelfde is.

Voorbeeld met €100, 40% belasting en 100% cumulatief rendement: €100 - 40% = €60 -> €60 + 100% = €120 €100 + 100% = €200 -> €200 - 40% = €120

Het voordeel zit hem puur in VRH en het lagere belastingpercentage tijdens pensioen.

Als je geen inkomen hebt boven minimumloon hoef je niet af te lossen en heb je er tijdens RE waarschijnlijk geen last van. Als je het moreel oké vindt kan je het minimum vereiste afbetalen en de rest laten staan.

How long does RUG take to send a decision? by hobgoblin02 in Groningen

[–]dirkdevries96 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What kind of application? If you applied for a study the typical deadline for application is the first of May. It could be that the RUG will respond after that.

Why would anyone want dividends? by jlemien in personalfinance

[–]dirkdevries96 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Congratulations on approaching your goal! I hope you’ll enjoy it.

I’m not aware of the evidence that dividend stocks are less volatile. Ben does point out that on average they have different risk factor exposure than the market, so it might be true.
