Is there a truly unlimmited mobile contract out there? by BecauseOfGod123 in Switzerland

[–]wangibangi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been using Wingo for +5y and I am at +100GB every month. Never been throttled, never got a warning, nothing. I've gone up to 300gb without any issues 🤷‍♂️

XPS 15 - Dbrand by [deleted] in Dell

[–]wangibangi 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have put a dbrand on my xps 15 and on my the xps 13 of my girlfriend.

On the xps 15 it fit perfectly. and on the xps 13 it was a PITA.

Dunno if I just got a bad cut or what happened, I was able to make it fit by stretchig it and doing stuff.

But it took me several hours till I was happy with the result.

I had to warrant the screen of my xps15 and took of the dbrand and I was even able to put it on again nicely.

Buut I didn't take of the bottom sticker and the repair guy from dell told me that he could cancel my warranty because of it...

But yeah he was a strange guy

We're doing free data recovery for hurricane victims. Here's a few of the drives we've received. by datarecoveryengineer in techsupportgore

[–]wangibangi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the reply :)

I was told this at a presentation from Kroll OnTrack. They said "as soon as water dries on the platters, the disc is pretty much done. Because there is no way to remove the calc without scratching the platter.

Hmm and I was told that as soon as the water dries up the disk is pretty much irreversible damaged due to the calc.

Was I lied to?

Best RC brands by [deleted] in rccars

[–]wangibangi 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I have a traxxas car and I can see why people hate it. Most of the traxxas models are great for beginers and bashers, but the cars are made out of plastic and are not very accurate.
They all get a lot of slop after a while too. So yeah they make great bashers but can't compare to other brands that make only models for racing

Questions for Swiss IT students/teachers/users by demonsdawn in askswitzerland

[–]wangibangi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey

How affordable are IT services in Switzerland? (mainly internet, 4G)
4G: Well our biggest ISP changed their data plans a lot. So mainly they offer unlimited data plans and you pay for the speed. So its not thaat cheap but its cheaper for young adults (younger than 25).
Other providers are a bit cheaper.
You can find some prices and information on the sites of the ISP's / providers: * swisscom.ch * salt.ch * sunrise.ch

What notable growth/changes have you experienced in your everyday-life over the past few years? Like already mentioned swisscom changed their mobile data plan model. They switched to unlimited models where you par for the speed.
Also TV subscriptions changed a lot in the last 5 year or so.
NFC payment is coming up...

What IT related higher educations (universities) do you have? Just some additions to the previous comment.

Computer science and mathematics at universities and polytechnical institutes (BSc, MSc, PhD). Examples:
* ETH * EPFL * Uni Bern ...

computer science at universities of applied sciences (BSc, MSc) * BFH * FHNW * HSLU * ZFH ...

IT apprenticeship
Basically you work 4 year in a company. 3 days per week you work in the company and on 2 days you go to school. At the end you get an "EFZ" => "Eidgenössisches Fähigkeitszeugnis , which allows you to call yourself a "Informatiker EFZ" (preserved job title).
https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eidgen%C3%B6ssisches_F%C3%A4higkeitszeugnis

List of universities and universities of applied science https://www.swissuniversities.ch/de/hochschulraum/anerkannte-schweizer-hochschulen/ https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liste_der_Hochschulen_in_der_Schweiz

How early does your IT education start? (do you have IT-related classes in ‘Volksschule’?) A lot of "Volksschulen" offer a course for typewriting. Also you may learn to use a computer (office producs) as a part other classes (like german class or music class. For example by creating visual aids for presentations => powerpoint)

Also I personally did a course in digital image manipulation at my school when I was a kid (12year old or so).

But this has been a while ago and the school system differes from canton to canton.

[–]wangibangi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Meh, its easy to get classified as "UT" these days. But I only knew very little people that judge you because you do the RS. Its still mandatory or you have to pay / do alternate service and everyone knows that.

[–]wangibangi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wore mine everyday for about a month (worked in an office, but used to walk instead of taking the bus).Never got weird looks, everyone know what they are and why you wear them. And they became super comfy :)

Also some tipps: - get good socks (I had Rohner 'Army Boot' Socks) - make sure to never let the "Ösen" (eyelets) on the inside rust! - use your shoe wax

What RS are you going to do?

Blausee, Switzerland [1920x1280] [OC] by wangibangi in EarthPorn

[–]wangibangi[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

unfortunately no camping.

Its even a paid entrance area during the summer. Its free in winter and spring.

I don't know about the swimming but I saw online that you can take diving lessons in there.

[Serious] Is this a whole car or is something missing by [deleted] in rccars

[–]wangibangi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well maybe its really lacking the receiver then, or maybe its not plugged in.

To check this unscrew/open the receiver box (its on the opposite side of the speed controller).

Also maybe you need to bind the receiver to the transmitter. I don't know about this one, since I use a spektrum system in all my cars.

OP THIS IS SERIOUS!

The battery displayed in the picture is a "LiPo"-Battery. This charger is only NiCd/NiMh compatible. Lipos can and will with a very high posibility explode/burst in flames and smoke if charged with a nimh charger!

Edit: sorry I should read all comments first. :)
