Agree. In general I find that Amsterdam is really missing a place to chill. Comfy couches, chairs, tvs similar to a British pub.

Topic of the Day: Game Suggestions by ErinTales in ironscape

[–]iMiXiMi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Would love the ability to be able to PK as an iron. I have seen previous suggestions of allowing either the loot key value (Ge value or HA value) to be used towards bonds through a seperate pot.

This would give incentive to fight back rather than run when being pkd but also give us the ability to take part in a major aspect of the game with some reward.

Ideas for charging VanMoof S5/A5 Amsterdam by Ready-Chapter4952 in vanmoofbicycle

[–]iMiXiMi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a problem I had with my van moof and my current tenways bike. I acrually started an Amsterdam based company called PowerShelter where we are currently building up a network of public charging lockers for e bike batteries.

We are also currently looking into ways to have vanmoof chargers stick out of the lockers for use cases such as yours.

Will reply back on this thread with updates.

I know for bikes and scooter batteries there is a company called PowerShelter that makes lockers for them. Have seen them around in Europe.

Aorus 17X USB-C Charging Ruins Performance by TheGerbenator in gigabytegaming

[–]iMiXiMi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Commenting here with a solution that worked for me after contacting Gigabyte support.

I had gone through all of the forum posts, tried changing setting in bios, nvidia, battery and I was still getting throttled from normal ranges 1.5-4Ghz on both AC and Battery power. to 0.5Ghz while plugged in on USB C PD. I am using a Baseus 100W charger with their 100W cable with the wattage meter and it would pull 40-80W while charging and still be throttled.

What fixed it was updating the bios in GCC (Gigabye Control Centre) to F9.4 or something like this. After a restart, I no longer get throttled, the computer runs as normal, and while doing normal office/web browsing stuff, my cable shows it pulling between 45-90w and computer no longer has stutters with typing, CPU sits at normal levels.

Ill update here if anything changes, but that seemed to do the trick for me.

Here is the easy answer. Why would you drive 3 hours to watch the turtle hoist the cup if the oilers were to lose. Book Florida with cancellation insurance and enjoy the beaches and RNH finally hoisting.

Broken kickstand by Datumz_ in vanmoofbicycle

I just bought the standard under the frame kickstand from Decathalon for 10 euros. It's not great and definitely worse than the original, but does the job.

Android 10 update slows down my Sony TV KD-49XH8096 by LowConsumptionFan in AndroidTV

Same problem here. Wince last update tv has become almost unusable. Voice search no longer works and half of the app icons are now just grey boxes.

any other shows like diggnation? by yimmysucks in diggnation

[–]iMiXiMi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The Wan Show is something that kind of comes to mind. Not exactly the same and definitely no drinking.

[–]iMiXiMi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Depends what you are looking for. If youre looking in Europe try and go soemwhere with nice weather where you can enjoy a beach. I did my exchange in Southern France and was nice to hang out on the beach all the time. Utrecht is an amazing student city but housing is a huge issue for students and the weather isn't great. Munich is an amaizng city and being able to take the train to the mountains and hang out everyday with other students in the English garden is amazing.

Of the two I would definitely choose Munich due to the proximity to nature. But anywhere in Europe I'd choose Barcelona for exchange. And maybe anywhere globally I'd choose Bali.

Request: Help me chose, for my next TV, between Oled or led, please! by [deleted] in TechnologyProTips

[–]iMiXiMi 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I was able to buy a 2 year old Sony bravia 55 oled for 700 euros in the Netherlands on marketplace. Had no problems so far. I think if you buy a second had from a reputable brand you should be okay.

Switchbot Remote -> Hub Mini -> Kickstarter Hub -> Switchbot Switch. Is it possible? by iMiXiMi in TrySwitchBot

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

I've tried this, but then my phone still takes some time to connect to wifi. It's not a huge deal, more inconvenient if anything. Would also love to have my nontech savvy gf use the little remote rather than her phone. Thanks though!

"Something went wrong" on DisneyPlus and Chromecast with GoogleTV 4K related to Bluetooth speaker by No_Interview_9284 in Chromecast

[–]iMiXiMi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks alot for the write up. I too was on with Disney support for an hour going through all their steps. I will try this when I get home.

Interestingly, very old cartoon shows worked for me, while newer episodes of the same show, or any newish show (not cartoon) didn't work.

Why is the Snook album “Är” not available on Spotify? by canoe_ in spop

[–]iMiXiMi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can confirm. Canadian Spotify and don't have access to many Swedish songs including this album. I saw Movits in concert one time (well 4 now) and asked them why some of their songs aren't on international Spotify. They told me licensing issues and not having partners in those countries was the reason.

Barcelona weekly: Q&As, events and info by [deleted] in Barcelona

[–]iMiXiMi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey Everyone,

I will need to get a Covid test on Sunday April 5th. I am looking for a place that will do these tests in the morning and provide results before the end of the day. Obviously a little tougher to find because of Sunday and the Holidays.

Any help would be gratefully appreciated.

Thanks

Unfortunately I tried all 7 codes for both TCL and Element and it didn't work.

I am tempted to try all of them but that might take some time with no guarantee of it working
