  • GrapheneOS says Google is making life harder for rival operating systems and devices

  • How would I know which bank to go too ? It's comes down to the details of how they implement their phone app. I don't think you would find this information anywhere.

  • GrapheneOS says Google is making life harder for rival operating systems and devices

    Jump

  • Exactly, it's not only about fighting Google, it's also about setting a better, more open standard for the rest of the market.

    Recently my bank has rolled out a new mobile app now relying on Google wallet for NFC payment. I was able to use NFC payment on GrapheneOS on the old app, I can't on the new one. The online banking stuff still works (for now) but no more mobile payment for me. I didn't sign a fucking contract with Google, why would I hand over my payment data to them !

  • Razer Diamond back gaming mouse, shit at clicking, shit quality, over priced

    Bohmann air-conditioner, broke after few hours of usage at most. Well within warranty, the reseller(Mediamarkt), and manufacturers took me for a long long ride until I eventually gave up on getting my money back...

  • How often do people typically get paid where you are? How is the overtime? (Specify location)

    Jump

  • In France and Germany you are paid monthly, by bank transfer (for most jobs). Tax are automatically accounted for, your pay slip will show the Brute/Brutto (what the employers pay) and Net/Netto (what you receive on your bank account).

    In both countries, trial period must be paid. If you come 1 day to work and they don't want you. They must pay you for the 1 day of work.

    In Germany, how good things are can vary. I always had a good situation because I work in the automotive industry. For most my career my contract was "Tarifvertrag" which means it is compliant with the rules of the workers union IG-Metall, this includes the salary grid. The union is negotiating the salary increase for millions of employees on a yearly basis. You stamp in and out of work. Your work time is counted to the minute. Overtime is accumulated in a time account that you can recover as paid holiday or paid at overtime rate. Working Saturdays and Sundays is paid a special rate as well (not sure, I think it is 150% Saturday and 200% Sunday). After trial period, resignation is 10 weeks notice for both the employee and employer. They must pay you all of your overtime when you leave, and let you use all the holidays you are due.

    If your profession is covered by a strong workers union, things are pretty good. Things can pretty shitty if you are independent or working for a startup or hospitality business.

  • So like how does one get job as fresh graduate?

  • Make your CV interesting, a good option to do that is work on small functional projects that you can host (e.g on GitHub) and attach links to your CV. Go to job events in your area to talk to recruiters, get an idea of the companies in your area, get comfortable talking to recruiters by practicing.

  • I much prefer to see Anubis rather than some bullshit captcha with a grid of AI generated slop that requires 30 clicks to pass.

  • Britain should seek to rejoin EU, says civil servant who led Brexit department

    Jump

  • Well, adopting the € is not optional. UK had a special deal to keep the £ back then (so did Danemark), when it was still possible, but this isn't an option anymore. From the moment your economy meets the requirements, the country shall adopt the €. Czech and Sweden are overdue for the € adoption, they are dragging their feet. I'm not saying the unified currency is always in the best interest of each individual member country, but that's part of the deal.

    Jump

  • UK may come back if this time they fully commit to the union. You know, adopting the € and everything, join Schengen, not constantly being USA's little bitch.

  • What are some repairable, upgradeable, and modular electronics and tools that you use every day?

    Jump

  • My 3D printer: Prusa i3 MK3S+, completely open-source Firmware and mechanical design. I have made many customization and upgrades over the years. It started as a MK3 model, I upgraded it to MK3S and then MK3S+. Today I could upgrade it to MK3.5 or MK3.9 but I don't see the necessity at the moment.

    This helps me to upgrade and repair many things around the house that would otherwise be expensive to fix or would otherwise get thrown away.

  • Be careful before uploading your config files to a public location like GitHub, you don't want to inadvertently publish some secrets like passwords, API keys and such. A copy to an external drive should do the trick just fine as a starting point.

  • Which is the more ecologically problematic travel mode, ship or plane?

    Jump

  • If you would be sailing, it would probably have the less impact on the environment. But a Diesel powered ferry ? I have no idea how it compares to air flight. The train is probably better than both ferry and plane in this case.
