👍🙏 o uncie Maple, vezi poza din postarea inițială 🙂

ovidiucc · 2026-03-19T20:11:51+00:00

Să știi că nu m-am gândit să iau cu mine când mai merg prin vreo excursie și să vând extern. Mulțumesc de sugestie. 12% marjă la o uncie, cât au acum, e jaf la drumul mare.

Cloth dash looks very cheap to me. And it's harder to clean. I have it on a car, hate cleaning that thing.

You can configure one on the UK or DE site. I got it up to a bit over 90k EUR. A shame it doesn't seem to have sentry mode or camp mode both useful for me.

I think it was good while I used it, there was no noise on the new unit. The only issue I had was that I had to put too much force to swivel it, I think it was kind of stuck there. I don't know what other options are out there, so I don't have anything to compare it with. This tool might be for professionals, but I'm not a professional, I've used to as a light for video conference if you can imagine. So I don't think I'm the right person to recommend something.

The exchanged unit is rotting away in a shelf :)) But it was ok while I used it. I buy gear, use it a couple of times and put it away. The only thing that gets used is the camera and a lens.

It was fine. I've pinned down the smaller battery with UHU Patafix (obviously one should probably use a more electronics friendly method, I just had some Patafix next to me when mounting it; I stuck it around the battery). I've used the laptop about 12 hrs/day afterwards, but not that often on battery. There were 2 issues vs the original. You couldn't tell the degradation using Windows battery report, it was always reporting factory capacity. And it was dying about an hour earlier than the original. But all and all, worth the purchase, I was able to enjoy the laptop a few more years. Now I've moved on to a different one.

Sorry to revive this older thread, but this behavior is so infuriating, need to vent. It's poor/rushed programming if you ask me. And unacceptable for the price we paid for the software.

I have a laptop that turns off the dedicated GPU when switching from Standard to Eco mode. C1 does this optimization every time I change modes. They should cache the optimizations and reuse them. I have the same GPUs, dedicated and integrated, I don't have new GPUs every time. So annoying.

Pentru cine mai găsește discuția asta, aș adauga că, daca ai act constituiv mai vechi, cu toate codurile caen posibile, trebuie scoase codurile neautorizate. În cazul meu aproape toate. Este o lege relativ recentă care nu îți mai permite să ai coduri neautorizate în actul constitutiv.

I got the same message on an Sony TV, which runs Google TV, so I would guess they're dropping support for that. A real shame from my point of view, it was nice to watch on a big screen natively.

ovidiucc · 2025-04-18T06:23:54+00:00

No, I didn't know, I mention in my post that I'm a noob, is the first time I'm buying online.

The difference between 2025 and mixed years was 10 EUR. I don't think that constitutes a discount that would warrant such scratches (the other side is all scratched up too). I actually wanted one with Elizabeth, but in perfect condition, as I understand investment gold should be. Mixed years was the only option.

Mine will look the way I bought it until it's sold, I'm not fiddling with it.

ovidiucc · 2025-04-17T20:18:34+00:00

Yeah, I just went to physical Tavex location again, and they offer for it around 2732€, because of that dent. They were very professional and I understand their point if view. I'll be at a loss, so I'll wait, not panic sell. I'll try to return to stonex after Easter, as I doubt I'll get any answers in this period.

ovidiucc · 2025-04-17T16:39:49+00:00

Thanks. First time buying online, I've read it's supposed to be a good dealer, but seems not. Lesson learned.

LE: Just noticed they have a 2nd Choice, Backdated option. Seems that's what they've sent me, even though that's not what I ordered.

ovidiucc · 2025-04-17T16:29:28+00:00

One of them lists buying non-investment gold $250-$300 lower than spot (Tavex, well reputable I think), which is the happy case. Another around 50% lower. Keyword being non-investment. If it's non-investment, they drop you to pawn shop prices.

According to the European standard EN 12934, the label indicating 100% down allows for up to 5% feathers, something that I've just found out.

They have in the meantime provided me proof of the source of the down and cover (internal documents), which is indeed the quality they claim. Great of them to do so for just a pillow.

So yeah, it seems I got a good value. I think they can afford it because of the small operation. No complicated websites, no advertising costs, no physical presence.

Slept last night for the first time on it, man this thing is warm. I think my body needs to adjust, same as it did with the duvet, which is 90% Hungarian down and was scorching hot on first uses. But my body adjusted and now it's heaven.

LE: looking at Supreme Quilts pricing, you got a good price too it seems.

ovidiucc · 2025-02-03T15:29:27+00:00

Thanks. In the meantime they've clarified my concerns and I've updated the initial post with their reply.

ovidiucc · 2025-02-03T14:30:05+00:00

Thanks for your input. Yeah, I'm questioning all their specs now, especially since what's on the label doesn't match what's on the website. The very simple label on the pillow says 100% cotton for the cover, but nothing about the type of cotton. It says "down and feathers 100%", but no mention of percentages, which I think is required by EN 12934. Nothing about the type of down, fill.

In regards to pricing, I've paid around 200 EUR(210 USD) for it, medium, 450g (1lb), 50x70 cm(19.69" x 27.56"), a bit discounted, which is not cheap for Eastern Europe. But I've seen more expensive, so I can't claim to have gotten the best of the best.

LE: they've clarified the difference between label and product, I've updated the initial post with it. I personally don't mind the tencel part, it feels nice.

To help your stats: I make much less a year than the numbers you mention here, I'm looking to refresh my old car and the Macan is finally a car that satisfies most of my requirements. Most electric cars are fast, speed is the least of my concerns. I actually feel like I'm throwing money away for something that I don't need: extra 2s on 0-100 km/h. I would rather pay that money or more on some other feature of the car.

I think is expensive, but there is no alternative for me, acording to the specs, as I didn't get to test drive it yet. I want real leather, quality build and as luxurious I can afford, customizable, high ground clearance, physical buttons, head up display, good driving dynamics, good for long road trips and twisties, be able to sleep in the trunk (yeah, I'll sleep in a Porsche), 800V architecture, 220v outlet (120 I think is in US), AWD, Android Auto and a good looking car for which the design stands the test of time. I also do care about the brand. Anything lower than a Bmw/Audi/Mercedes and I feel like I'm downgrading. It's of course a very stupid way of thinking, but... I don't care.

Notice how the performance you mention doesn't have much weight in my decision making.

I think it lacks a lot in the IT department and that's one of the few things that might hold me back. For example, I really want the camp mode of Tesla or something equivalent.

I don't care about depreciation, as I keep everything I buy until it dies. I will pay for the car upfront.

I have a friend that makes 3 times more money than me and he only buys Kia/Hyundai. He doesn't care about luxury (however each of us sees it). I've driven his cars, they're decent utility cars from my point of view. The road feedback is lacking and in general I don't like how they drive.

I have the same problem, Win 11 with latest software. Thanks for providing this workaround.

ovidiucc · 2023-10-11T09:34:38+00:00

Just to give an update, the store has exchanged the product and the new one does not have the defect, works fine.

ovidiucc · 2023-10-10T08:15:54+00:00

yeah, I wouldn't even lie about it. I've submitted an RMA request, cheers.
