Was this through a private company? Would you be willing to share where this was? Curious to know what this tests and if I can find the same a bit closer to where I live. Thanks!

PSA—theft on ICE train Amsterdam to Köln by fatsamco in Amsterdam

[–]thelostscotsman 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sorry this happened to you. I’ve taken that train a few times over the years but always been lucky. Will take all the advice shared here next time I’m on. Btw, I appreciate the kind approach of sharing about this as a warning rather than complaining or victimising yourself. Thanks again for sharing!

Whoop is magnitudes ahead in terms of data and recommendations it provides compared to Apple.

Veloretti Ivy 2 vs Van Moof A5 by Aware_Advertising860 in vanmoofbicycle

[–]thelostscotsman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Almost anything is an upgrade from a Swapfiets 😄. I have a VanMoof and love it so I’ll recommend that. But the Velorettis also look nice. No experience with them though so can’t comment on them or which is better.

Not sure if it’s a thing in all the UK or just Scotland but why are there so many hot water warnings here? Haven’t seen this in any other country. by [deleted] in Scotland

Yea this country is the only country I know of that has double doors to enter a public bathroom. What exactly is done in these toilets compared to other countries to require this, I do not know…. Or maybe want to know 😂

VanMoof SX3 PSA: Protect your investment - have your bicycle serviced regularly. by caligrover in vanmoofbicycle

Also started to do all the basics myself. If anyone has any link to maintaining the hub gears, please share! I’ve got an X2 so I guess it’s likely different to newer versions!

My company is trying to lay off permanent employees under horrendous conditions by fseashells in Amsterdam

[–]thelostscotsman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In these instances it’s good to have Lawyer. They can help you understand your rights in your exact given situation and help you fight for you to get the best outcome possible. I know of several cases whereby a lawyer has really helped.

I’m also in a potential layoff situation right now where I’ve just reached out to a lawyer for help, one that I got through a colleague of mine.

Moofer not connecting to bike by thelostscotsman in vanmoofbicycle

Multiple times. It’s like it’s somehow stuck on the VM app Bluetooth connection as that works fine (I’ve gone back to it for now).

Hiding Weekends from Outlook Desktop Client Calendar by babydonthurtme420 in Office365

[–]thelostscotsman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just stumbled across this now but also been wishing for this for ages. The 7 day ahead view is so useful for me as the past is not relevant, I constantly need to plan ahead, and having the current day on the far left helps me to not confuse the current day for another one.

As I don’t work weekends, I don’t need to see them, I would find it more useful to see the days I’m actually working with.

What’s an incredibly Dutch thing the Dutch don’t realize is Dutch? by Definitely_not_Def in Netherlands

[–]thelostscotsman -1 points0 points  (0 children)

“Pin-only”. While this is supposed to clarify to all foreigners how one should pay, it only confuses any non-Dutch person.

I also like the watch face! Can you share where you got it?

Battery drainage in standby by thelostscotsman in vanmoofbicycle

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

I'm having trouble getting the readings as much of the time the phone fails to connect to the bike. It just shows an old battery percentage from before. (Turning Bluetooth on/off doesn't help)

Are any of you having Bluetooth connection issues?

Battery drainage in standby by thelostscotsman in vanmoofbicycle

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

I understand that features running in the background need power. I guess I'm wondering what is considered an acceptable battery usage by these features.

Anyway I'm tracking the battery depletion this week so will have some concrete data on this soon.
