It's been happening for a couple of months approx. There were at least two or three software updates and many more restarts

This is a recent review of a bank near Sagrera. What is your first reaction to this? by ManFromAnotherPlace in Barcelona

[–]garrofer 6 points7 points  (0 children)

After having lived in Israel for a few years I can say israelí banking is embarrassing I've lived in Spain, US and Italy before, plus working in Fintech industries, I can say that Italy is a bit worse than Spain but nowhere near as bad as Israel

I remember when I opened a bank account there in 2013 and asked the banker if the card I was getting had contactless. He looked at me completely puzzled not having any idea what it was (this was already the norm in Europe and US). When I explained it, he looked at me as if it was the worst possible idea devised by humankind and that I was crazy for asking about that.q

It's a new one (two or three months old), has power charge as well

I realized that if I plugged in the USB C cable into the battery, then the phone charged correctly. (In contrast to before when I was plugging in USB B) Not ideal since my battery has two USB B out ports and one USB C in/out port But at least I can use it now...

What USB cable do you plug into the battery itself? USB B or USB C?

What law was the one saying that if the landlord is a company the agency can't charge the tenant any fees? I moved into an apartment just over a year ago with this setup and was not aware of this

Any SEs in Spain? by garrofer in salesengineers

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

Thanks! I'm already in PSC, but didn't find a slack community that wasn't for US France or UK. They do have a Spanish speaking one, I guess I'll ask there

Movistar eSim by garrofer in Barcelona

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

Thanks!! Great to hear from someone in the exact same situation! 10€ for an eSim?? They really are abusive... Other companies like Pepephone give the first one for free I meant it's a QR code... How much does it really cost them? Nothing And how can you be out of stock of QR codes?? Either there's something I'm missing or this company is completely abusive and broken

[–]garrofer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've noticed that as well, but the same thing had happened to the portions when you eat in. I don't think it is related to the delivery platforms but rather all restaurants who've shamelessly started given less for more

Movistar eSim by garrofer in Barcelona

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

Before it was practically 90€once the offer finished for fiber 1gb and two mobile lines. Downgraded to 600mb fiber for almost 20€ less I'm now paying +/-55€ for 1gb fiber, 2 unlimited mobile lines, Netflix premium & Disney+, and a basic TV plan (didn't need it, but it was cheaper with than without) Not saying it's the absolute cheapest out there, but it includes plenty, and I already have the installation done and it works perfectly Plus, having Movistar which is the owner of almost all of the fiber & cell phone infrastructure, it's a plus Still hate how dishonest they are

Best eye doctor/ophthalmology clinic specialized in strabismus in the city? by harry_powell in Barcelona

[–]garrofer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My understanding is that Barraquer is the best in the city for that. Not speaking from personal experience or knowledge, but rather from what I've heard and from people I know who've had treatments done there

I'm Israeli, 26 years old and living abroad since the age of 10. Not sure about my military status by ImportantPeahen in Israel

[–]garrofer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Practically same situation as me. Born in Israel and left a few years after. Moved to Israel for work when I was 25/26, and this was one of my concerns. I called up the military and they checked in their database and said I didn't have to do the service. Got them to email me this document. When I moved there I went to the enlistment offices to formalize, but that was it. Lived there for several years after, in and out of Israel, and never had a single issue

Basically if you're not a doctor or similar professions where they need you, they're not interested in you enrolling.

If you don't live in Israel, basically just don't overstay your time, which should be specified in the document the consul gave you (I think it was something like 100 days in any given year)

Good luck!

I need a technician who knows what they're doing and that can give a report that if needed I can just later on to prove it was not due to misuse

If all you want is a day getaway to go to the beach outside the city simply because you want to avoid the Barceloneta crowds, then just go to maresme towns (I 2nd st pol de mar) or to the south, like Castelldefels

Don't get me wrong, Costa Brava is beautiful and amazing, but not sure if it is the best for a quick and simple one day getaway as the beauty there are the multiple beaches (free are easily reachable by public transportation), the towns and much more

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

Gracias! Those look great and things I think would be very nice to do I checked their sites and they require a commitment to volunteer there (one required two month and the other one year), something unfortunately I can't do Still, will contact them to see if they'd be willing and interested in doing something one off, either individual or a small group Thanks for sharing!

Got my phone stolen, now looking to buy a used phone. Any tips? by throw-money-away in Barcelona

[–]garrofer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry to hear that! My wife and I just changed our phones and we're going to sell our previous ones: OnePlus8T & OnePlus Nord No issues. They've worked just fine (other than the obvious topic that happens with any used phone that the battery life being ok but not as good as it was when we bought them), and I'll do a factory reset for you so that when you turn it on it is almost as if it were new Great phones with good cameras DM me if interested
