  • Garmin adds AI and a subscription tier to its app

  • My main reason for wanting to get rid of it is indeed #BuyFromEU based, but tbh I'm also still using my google pixel (looking to install Graphene once I bought my appartement, don't want to risk issues with my bank app right now)

    Probably getting a withings watch soon(tm)

  • The European Union urges citizens to stockpile supplies to last 3 days in case of crisis

  • The biggest hassle here is having enough water since you can't leave the water stale for too long, some food and essentials is easy to have a small stockpile of

  • At least it stays in the EU in that case

  • Uch, was already willing to get rid of my garmin but this just gives me more motivation

  • Are you still using LinkedIn?

    Jump

  • I've made my Xing account but still need to fill it in like my linkedin. Currently LinkedIn still gets me recruiters weekly so no way am I leaving it for now, not that I'm actively applying but I don't want to shoot myself in the foot.

  • EU calls for households to stockpile 72 hours of food amid war risks

    Jump

  • I could survive 72 hours on the food I have at home at any time, it won't be grand tho and I'll still need electricity to make most of it.

    Once I move I'm planning on having a small stockpile (cause I'll finally have space for it) to last about 2 weeks or so, worst case I just need to eat it and restock it later and best case it saves me a lot of hassle in a crisis.

  • To start off: Especially when you're openly drunk at 3am and unable to act normal 😂

    You need to be able to identify yourself to law enforcement (and some others like ticket inspectors on trains) when stopped (for a valid reason ofc), I'd say that makes sense? We don't have a distrust of our (law) enforcement like there is in the US, they're held to a high standard here.

    In a lot of instances they also need a copy of your ID at the bank, your work, etc. This is mostly to prevent identity fraud as far as I'm aware.

    More info: NL: https://www.rijksoverheid.nl/onderwerpen/identificatieplicht / BE: https://www.watwat.be/politie/wie-mag-mijn-identiteitskaart-vragen

    It's literally just a card (almost) everybody keeps on them together with their bank card. In the future we'll most likely just be able to use digID (in NL) or Itsme (Belgium) as a substitute to identify ourselves.

    If you get stopped and don't have it with you the first time you'll just get a warning and they'll just look you up by name instead, after that they fine you for not having it with you. If you do not identify yourself they can take you to the police station until they can identify you, you know the only people who have an issue identifying themselves usually? Drunks and people who either have a history / current issue with police. (You often see this in the videos of our favorite police vlogger: https://www.youtube.com/@PolitieVloggerJanWillem)

    I'll add on to this before you still call it dystopian, for every single time a police officer asks for an ID they have to note that down, its logged that they looked this person up, they have to write why they did it (reminder: every single time) and this can get checked by a superior officer/other instance (depends on country I believe) + anyone who was checked can dispute the check afterwards. They're very harsh on abuse of the access police have and everything they do for their work is logged systemtically and also by the officers in question (source: I worked for Belgian police IT). Here's an example of when an officer looked up people he could not justify: https://www.nieuwsblad.be/cnt/dmf20240215_94848864

  • That's so weird. I don't get why they 1. Don't require people to have valid ID on them and 2. That there's ID's that don't show their status (citizen/whatever).

    I am living in the Netherlands but my ID is still Belgian but shows I'm a citizen from there and also an EU citizen. I use this ID + the paper in the mail to show I am required to vote (we still have mandatory voting, but it'd work the same if it wasn't mandatory).

    Take this fake ID as an example:

    It shows both our "social security number" (Belgian sepecific) and the document number (required for use within Europe)

    The back also has a chip that can be read and a qr code

  • Ok so I have to ask coming from Belgium where having an ID on you at all times is mandatory (and living in the Netherlands where having at least a drivers license on you at all times is mandatory since that also has all needed data unlike Belgium). Why is this even remotely a "hard" requirement? Do Americans just not need to carry ID on them?

    Outside of the marked stuff it also states a Federal or State government-issued foto id is valid, hence the question.

  • Sell their cars to who BEN? Aquaman?

    In the end someone will own the car and be f'ed because of it. The seller will take a huge financial loss because other people think it helps to force people to make bad financial decisions while Tesla already has the money.

  • It really just depends on how users have to choose a service and how much it matters. With email the service used doesn't really matter so most either use what is given to them (here that's often from their ISP) or what is recomended to them (e.g. Gmail or Hotmail here in the EU)

  • Coca Cola does not sell anymore

  • First I switched to ice tea sparkling from lipton (before joining the movement) and now I just buy store brand soda's instead. They're at least a bit more healthy and are so much more price competitive! I don't drink much so it saves me at most 10 euros a month but buying 1L of cola for almost 3 euros vs 1.20 for 1.5L store brand is insane
