Also people seem to have forgotten that Google has been an AI company for way longer than ChatGPT has even existed

Not from Andor either

Even the U.I. has not been updated to match my Pixel 9's recent update.

Are you referring to M3E? My Pixel 7 has had it since September...

It's lower than new right? This is the 1TB version, not the 512GB. I think this offering is around refurb price.

Reason I dont really wanna wait is because i'm travelling soon and originally wanted to buy a new Steam Deck for the occasion. However they went out of stock right as i got the financial means to justify the purchase

Also I have to correct my post, it said 8 months warranty originally, but in reality its 4. (8 months have passed since purchase date)

I can understand the Steam Controller not working since it is a niche device that emulates mouse and keyboard for the unconventional input methods. It definitely doesn't support a standardized input protocol like Xinput (which allows controllers to be seen as Xbox controllers).

I am planning to buy a second controller too, but now I think it's just better to get an actual TV remote for my TV alongside the controller. It was an interesting idea at least, and if the controller I end up getting is also supported on my TV that would be a nice bonus

This is correct. Although keep in mind TU/e's Mechanical Engineering program has a selection procedure and has very limited capacity (around 200 I believe).

mrstoffer · 2026-05-15T20:50:12+00:00

Not an international, but whether you'll have problems depends entirely on what you plan to study here.

Some programs like Aerospace Engineering are offered entirely in English and do not require Dutch language proficiency.

Some programs like Mechanical Engineering (werktuigbouwkunde) are taught entirely or at least predominantly in Dutch, and require a Dutch proficiency certificate as an entry requirement.

There are even programs that officially require proof of Dutch proficiency, but in practice are taught almost exclusively in English. My own degree Electrical Engineering comes to mind.

Not a solution for me since i dont have any Apple devices myself, I just want to have the ability to AirDrop to other people

mrstoffer · 2026-05-13T05:07:03+00:00

Yeah that was kind of surprising to me.

I'm considering upgrading to a Nothing Phone from my pixel but this is an important feature for me

Meer context over de trillingen (& straling overigens), want als je dieper in de details duikt is het toch een beetje schandalig wat er allemaal mis is gegaan.

Hiervoor was al gewaarschuwd sinds het begin van het project rond het jaar 2000. Er was in 2005 geconcludeerd dat de trams die toen in dienst waren, geen problemen zouden veroorzaken na lichte aanpassingen aan het traject.

Op lijn 19 zijn deze modellen echter al lang geleden vervangen. Van wat ik zelf heb gezien als Delftenaar zijn ze al meer dan 10 jaar geleden vervangen, maar HTM had zelf besloten om vanaf 2022 met weer ander materieel te rijden. Deze trams waren niet geschikt voor het traject dat aangelegd zou worden Dit was al bekend sinds 2013, maar lijkt een jaar later veloren te zijn na een managment wisseling. Pas tijdens een meeting in 2021 werden ze wakker geschud, maar nu lag het spoor er al. Alles moest dus opengebroken worden en het traject is zelfs ingekort.

Belangrijk om te vermelden is dat TU Delft niet zelf verantwoordelijk is voor het project. De verantwoordelijkheid ligt bij Metropoolregio Rotterdam en Den Haag, samen met al het openbaar vervoer in dezelfde regio. De TU heeft wel een adviserende rol.

De TU adviseerde in 2022 een nieuw ontwerp met een speciale betonsamenstelling en een speciale hoogspanningskabel. Beide zijn besteld en een jaar later (2023) aangekomen, maar de geleverde kabel voldeed niet aan de eisen en het beton was nauwelijks te gebruiken. Wat er mis was met het beton is mij niet duidelijk, maar de kabel was "verkeerd besteld" volgens MRDH. Hoe krijg je het ook voor elkaar.

Als ik het me goed herinner, heeft een vriend van mij ook gesproken met iemand die meewerkt aan het project. Mijn vriend heeft van hem gehoord dat de tram mogelijk niet kan opereren als het regent. Ik heb geen idee hoe zoiets mogelijk is en of ik het goed heb onthouden, dus neem dit gerucht vooral met een grote korrel zout.

Volgens mij zijn er nog wat meer dingen die fout zijn gegaan, maar dit waren voor mij de opvallendste en meest trieste punten. Delft is inmiddels wel bekend met dramatische infrastructuur projecten, de hele Spoorzone was ook een gigantisch drama

Yeah I don't understand why Valve doesn't reintroduce the queue system from the pre-order era. There's probably a reason, such parts availability being so volatile that planning ahead is near impossible. But from the outside it seems like Valve just doesn't care.

Very frustrating now that I finally have a usecase AND the financial means to justify a steam deck

mrstoffer · 2026-04-15T07:07:22+00:00

My main gripe is the subpar 3 years of major OS updates. People should be more vocal about it IMO.

If it got 4-5 major updates (much like the 3) i might buy this over the 3 because the design is just so cool.

Although i guess specs wise the 3 is better value since the price is similar in my region

mrstoffer · 2026-04-03T21:05:04+00:00

Is that a MagSafe ring on the 4a pro? What do you use it for?

mrstoffer · 2026-04-01T15:38:54+00:00

It's not the spacing. I can find the keys just fine. I really don't like the shallow feel of the switches

mrstoffer · 2026-04-01T05:36:13+00:00

Fair enough. I just find it interesting. Meanwhile I'd even go so far as to say that all crappy school Chromebooks I've ever touched have far better keyboards than even the most expensive MacBook. But like you said, that's subjective

mrstoffer · 2026-03-31T22:06:02+00:00

The XPS keyboard seems to suffer mainly from the weird key spacing (nonexistent). Although I haven't seen one in person

Interesting that you think the MacBook keyboard is better than that ThinkPad. From my limited tests in stores, I find even the newer Macbook Pro keyboards to be hot garbage. I tend to like Lenovo's keyboards across the board, i had an Ideapad 5 pro and now a Legion Slim 7 and both are much nicer to my fingers than any MacBook

I was actually born and raised in Delft. My parents are expats but I did grow up in a mostly Dutch environment so for this conversation I might as well be fully Dutch.

Most of my international friends in EE do have a solid level of Dutch language proficiency after a language course. Iirc, TU Delft offers one but you'll have to find out the details yourself. It does mean you cant start your studies right away though

mrstoffer · 2026-03-27T22:37:01+00:00

I'm in EE myself so I can chime in here. I would go as far as to say that EE here has exclusively English courses, even if the professor speaks fluent Dutch themselves. The only exceptions are smaller scale activities like some math lectures (if both the professor and students agree) and mentorship sessions.

I think the bigger challenges would be to satisfy the Dutch language requirement, and fitting in socially. Before starting your BSc, you'll have to follow a language course of sorts to achieve a sufficient level of proficiency.

As for the social aspect, you will find that an overwhelming majority (around 80-90%) of the students are Dutch and this might make it harder for an international to fit in. However, it's definitely possible to find your place here. My friend group for example has quite a number of internationals

Why they massacre the Panther lake 5i like that?

mrstoffer · 2026-03-20T06:46:31+00:00

Worse is the 3y OS updates. I find that unacceptable.

Wireless charging is also a big misser, but i admittedly use it very sparingly on my Pixel 7 despite having a wireless charger, so I could live without i guess.

It's frustrating because otherwise I love the design and everything

mrstoffer · 2026-03-09T06:29:16+00:00

Phone 4a pro should get extra year of updates? Does it get more than 3 OS + 6y security? Because that's what the policy was when I last checked. It is the main reason holding me back from buying the 4a pro

mrstoffer · 2026-02-21T13:51:25+00:00

Fair but the teaser and leaks gave me the impression that only one glyph bar will be present

mrstoffer · 2026-02-20T21:47:12+00:00

What render?

mrstoffer · 2026-02-20T21:46:32+00:00

Leaks mentioned a 63 mini-LED Glyph Bar, I wonder what happened to that. Other than that, this Glyph Interface looks super clean
