It is “insane” over here in the Netherlands also;

• MC donalds “standard” menu; ±/ 15 Euros (used to be around 8-10 euros)
• Dominos Pizza medium “special”; 15+ Euros (used to be around 10 euros for the same pizza)

It’s already close to a price hike of 50+ percent.

Went out to dinner with a few friends to a Korean BBQ place; 40 euros for all you can eat per person. It was nice but the amount of food that one should eat to get to the 40 euro treshhold is insane. I think I ate for a maximum of 15 euros of food.

Other places also aggressively jacked up their prices for the exact same menu and quality (or lack of). I just cannot be arsed anymore to eat out.

The new fastfood prices are getting closer to the restaurant prices pre inflation. I don’t see any incentive to actually pay those prices for the lack of quality of the food.

I also see that the same fastfood chains ‘quietly’ implemented shrinkflation in regards of toppings or portion sizes so one gets screwed over double.

I liked to get some fastfood once or twice every 2 weeks, but I just cannot be bothered anymore.

the kicker is that for that 15 euros worth of fastfood I can get close to a weeks of selfcooked dinner.

I already see some grocery stores actually lowering the prices of certain items and aggressively put items on huge discounts.

Define “a few weeks”

The blackout started 12-06 which is 2 + weeks ago.

Lemmy and Kbin are still here and I see no sign of it slowing down. I see much more posts with more engagement which is a good thing.

I had a Z Fold 2 for 2+ years before selling it and it was a great phone overall. Didn’t feel like the technology “wasn’t there yet” but it felt like a full fledged product and the built quality was really top notch.

What i agree with is that indeed the inner screen is a gimmick or the foldable idea itself. I found myself using the inner screen mostly for streaming and using the outer screen for literally anything else. Which meant that for 95% of the time I used the outer screen.

I think the Flip series has a way better usecase for a foldable because the fold Idea reduces the size of the “normal way of use” product.

I think the Fold expands on the “normal way of use” so it is easier put it in the gimmick territory.

I still think it is better to just get an Phone + Tablet overall if you want the best of both worlds.

But to be clear, this has been my experience as having had the Z fold 2 as a daily driver for 2+ years.

I am spoiled haha. I had an realme x2 pro since 2018 or 19 and that was already 50watts.

Also got the Realme Gt 5G as an replacement 2 years ago which is 65 watts.

Anything below 50watts seems slow in comparison haha ;).

I see!

I understand for me the big point is the update policy. Just 2 years of OS updates is dissapointing, same as the 30Watt max charger.

But indeed the Headphone jack and SD card functionality are such a big plus.

Thanks for the input!
