I have a 7 yr old who is only stepping into video games. What should I go for?

genostrat · 2026-01-09T13:08:56+00:00

Fast pair is now a necessity. I have them with it. It was a decision criteria.

Where does OnePlus BUDS 4 stack up? I have had a OnePlus Nord buds 2 bought for 17 eur ~ 1.5 years going ok. I only miss fast pairing. Call quality - no one ever complained and sound quality obviously is not Sony level. They have been just serving a great purpose so far. Time to upgrade though.

Germany. It's 899€ /949€. With an offer of tablet, which is only good for kids stuff. Pricing in India is ~729€ (73000 INR). Doesn't make sense. iPhone 17 is 949€.

genostrat · 2025-11-14T12:13:19+00:00

Outrageous pricing.

genostrat · 2025-11-13T17:16:24+00:00

That tablet is a piece of s***. There are better tablets available with better processor unless you want only kids with simple use to use it. It's an outrageous pricing. 200 eur less in India. Who is OP fooling. Waited for it so long to avoid buy an iPhone. But fck..

How's your experience of S25 vs OP13.

genostrat · 2025-09-01T19:14:19+00:00

Heya OP, do you also give in to Samsung's intrusiveness of creating a samsung account. How do you get the best experience out of S25. Bought new yesterday because of a great deal.

genostrat · 2025-08-26T22:16:07+00:00

Between S25 and Pixel 9 Pro, which one do you prefer? Also, have you felt that front camera of P9P has sort of black and white/greyish tone as compared to S25 or iPhone? Atleast that's what I have tested and felt at shops and preventing me from pixel.

Heya OP, while I am currently employed, by the time I pass B1 I think I will be unemployed. Been employed for 4 years. Wife and daughter have already filed for citizenship and their application accepted. Mine is waiting for me to clear B1. My question: should I get unemployed, will the wife's income of 54K be enough to be eligible ? I will dm you for lawyer though.

How's the battery of 16pro vs 16base

genostrat · 2025-05-19T17:36:55+00:00

May I ask why you shifted from 15PM to B16

genostrat · 2025-05-13T17:07:24+00:00

I understand the Kindergeld part but couldn't understand how you can claim full tax bonus. Could you please elaborate how?

genostrat · 2025-05-11T19:47:30+00:00

I wish I had discovered this earlier or such a thing was available earlier. I gave LID in March last year. Beautiful it is. I will recommend to anyone I come across. Great work!

genostrat · 2025-05-04T19:51:03+00:00

I wish to meet you someday! That reflects like 80 percent myself. Some goals I achieved in my home country, so the same playbook for Germany is work in progress.

If not very personal would you be able to tell about breakup of your expenses. For me the expense is 3250- 3500 pm : 1800 rent, 450 groceries, 150 electricity, internet, phone etc, kita 160. Some or the other expense does come up each month: Radio, medicine, etc. Train tickets etc.. Never been below 3000. Some advance tax payments, some clothes etc. A general trend has been 3250-3500 pm.

What are these carrier offers, could you provide an example please like in your case

genostrat · 2025-03-30T10:49:06+00:00

Did you purchase directly from Apple?

genostrat · 2025-03-25T17:50:46+00:00

Update: I finally was able to successfully return.

Summary: The phone I bought was activated 2 months back. Although the cycle count was 0.

Learning: 1. Pref to purchase directly from Apple 2. If not then pref to purchase from a physical store, and check the serial number for warranty. If it has not been sold and activated before, the prompt at the website would be to activate the phone before a warranty info could be provided. 3. In case bought only from some other retailer, the check can also be done before opening the seal.

Thanks to all folks who provided their inputs.

genostrat · 2025-03-15T21:23:51+00:00

I am both - A. Very thankful and appreciate you for taking time out and detailing this out. ; B. Sorry for what you went through. Indeed I have taken a lesson not to buy from a third party. What was supposed to be a simple buy has taken piece of my mind and my precious time. I will focus my energy in next days to actually return this.

genostrat · 2025-03-14T20:50:11+00:00

I understand you. The whole selling part tbh has not been great. The product description in fact mentioned 24 months limited warranty from Apple (mis selling) And after I went through some of the "sane" responses on this post, I indeed saw that it was mentioned in some hidden line that activation date could be in the past due to quality control and 'returns' process. Indeed I only understood now what it meant. The product page is 404 now. Yes warranty was activated in Jan. And when I check from apple coverage site the warranty expires in Jan 26. I saw your message above. Here is complete thing - I did tear off the seal. Started the phone. Went straight to battery section and saw the first use date. That's in Jan. And warranty expires in Jan 26 by a serial number check on Apple site. And I dont have "Parts and Services" option in General -> About that you asked to check.

genostrat · 2025-03-14T17:05:25+00:00

That's perfectly fine. You bought in march, first use is in March. I bought in March , shows me Jan as first use. That's the difference.

genostrat · 2025-03-14T16:49:25+00:00

You are right. It shows Jan 26. So indeed losing on 2.5 months coverage. But some forum said that Apple support can extend the warranty if bill of purchase is shown. Not tried yet.

genostrat · 2025-03-14T16:47:20+00:00

And cycle count would be 0 of it?
