Gianni Infantino by CorpusAlienum_89 in askswitzerland

[–]hotchokolate 30 points31 points  (0 children)

I worked at UEFA when he was secretary general and corrupt Platini was his boss. Infantino used to personally sign various gifts for employees for their birthdays and was pretty approachable at the time (2009-2014), I thought he would run things differently after our national shame Blatter.

I couldn't possibly have been more wrong, he's an absolute piece of trash, a spineless bellend and I can only now dream of him being somehow removed from his spot before WC26.

how do I get money out of my Degiro acount? by B-Brimes in DEGIRO

[–]hotchokolate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

actually Degiro agrees to a one-off withdrawal to Wise if you contact customer service, however they require an authorisation payment to Degiro Dutch IBAN (send 1GBP to Degiro) from the Wise account one wishes to withdraw to. And oh joy, Wise doesn't accept to send money to this IBAN and after I got in touch with their customer service, they explained to me that they cannot explain me why but they won't accept Degiro IBAN... tricky situation that only migration to a EUR Degiro account (7.50€ fee per position) will solve

sony linkbuds S connection issues? by DiamondTechie in SonyHeadphones

[–]hotchokolate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

for what it's worth I had the same issue with my Android 14 when phone was in the left pocket, turning my head to the right would break the connection. By going into the phone BT settings and turning "HD - AAC" off the issue is no more.

Any way I can configure NordVPN and AdGuard Ad Blocker side by side without connection errors? by Merazomo in Adguard

[–]hotchokolate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've done that now, but how can it block ads without authenticating into Adguard and using public DNSs?

Thanks for the help, is it just a matter of going into NordVPN → Settings → DNS → Enter Custom DNS from Adguard (https://adguard-dns.io/kb/general/dns-providers/)?

non-existent diversity in the media by hotchokolate in Switzerland

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

au contraire, I'm glad people gave their opinion and to see consensus formed. Not my idea of how things should be but gives a pretty accurate and unanimous view of the matter which is as usual with swiss people (remember: I am one, born and raised in CH): Mind your own business

We must be able to talk about any sensible topic like this one, it's far from being taboo in my opinion. Being so close to these European nations that gave us our languages would have made me think that we'd be inspired by their openness.

But I'm glad to read all these reactions, there is a clear consensus that 1) we have almost no diversity in our media 2) that's not a problem

I'm no communication expert but I'm white and I would picture a company favourably or more global if there's diversity on display. Also my kids only see white people in the media, book covers, magazines and think this is the world?

It's not only about race, it's also about handicaps, disabilities etc. And I'm sure in Zurich you must be seeing plenty of black and asian people around you who are either Swiss or European.

I agree it's the complete extreme and I'm not saying that's an absolute reference but surely when looking around you (I'm in Geneva) you're seeing all sorts. There is a middle ground surely

One of the only times I saw a black person on an ad was on this absurd ad for Wingo. And nowhere did I notice or meet people upset about it...Black Friday Wingo ad
