that's why my choice would be these ink tanks where you just have to fill in new color. I think that's the best idea. the printer costs 150 euros, but there is already color for the next 3 years


i've heard that they dry out quickly if you don't use them for a long time... probably there are better and worse ones...it's just cheap but if you don't print all the time and have to refill first etc. it's just mega annoying... otherwise HP is not a bad brand...I've had a few myself but Epson convinced me more for less money

I wouldn't invest a lot of money in an inkjet printer. They break at some point. I've used mine a lot and after 5-6 years it just gave up the ghost. It probably needs to be cleaned or something, but that's too expensive for me.

If you don't print anything that often anyway and the quality is only supposed to be okay, then one for 40-50€ is enough.

You could check whether this is the case in general or directly with your current VPN. Just download Hide (a very good VPN) and you can use the entire range for free for the first 5 days. Only on day 6 is this no longer possible. You can also remove Hide from your PC immediately afterwards.

Hey everyone, happy new year to you all!
Some of you may have already noticed that I was actually away from work for 2 weeks and went on vacation.
I was in a country where the internet is censored, where you can't make calls via WhatsApp, where Facebook calls are blocked and where Facetime is also technically prevented. - in Dubai!!! - for the first time in my life, I went to see the city.
I have to say I'm conflicted - on the one hand it's incredibly clean, there's great food, the best service and everything you can dream of if you're willing to spend a lot of money.
At the same time, however, there are all these restrictions that are better not to talk about on site...
Unfortunately, I couldn't access our website either and the use of VPNs is generally prohibited by law there.
And you don't want to take any risks... I certainly didn't.
Instead, I was able to ride a camel for the first time, take photos from the 154th floor of the world's tallest building, eat really good fish and marvel at the clean toilets in the world's largest shopping mall.

All in all, it was a really great and interesting vacation and at the same time I won a new insight:
What the influencers all say "invest in a Dubai property" or "Habibi come to Dubai"...
All well and good, but Malta is definitely the better country for me to live in.
(Even if not everything is so luxurious here and the vegetables in the supermarket are often moldy because the cold chains are constantly interrupted).
The air is cleaner, life generally feels freer, there is democracy and you can express your criticism openly, just like in Germany.
Please don't drift off into political discussions now, I just wanted to give you some feedback and say
i'm back:-)

Thank you very much for your experience report. I didn't realize that social media and telephony were so restricted. I had rather thought that Dubai was one of the more liberal places in the region.

I have to say I'm in two minds - on the one hand, it's incredibly clean, there's great food, the best service and everything you can dream of if you're willing to spend a lot of money.

Welcome back! The most important thing is that you enjoyed the trip. Since your report was positive, I strongly assume that your experience there was good.

I don't know how deep you are into the topic, but there is a lot of PR around Dubai. Influencers are lured with low tax rates and possibly also with other things . Many have already moved away again. I personally know someone from my school days who emigrated to Dubai. However, this person moved back to Europe after the relationship broke down. Of course, everything looked chic and modern for this person. A large apartment with a beautiful view, luxury cars and the city in general is very westernized. The rest of the country, however, is not really that westernized and you always have to keep that in mind.

If I were to emigrate, I would choose Australia or Switzerland, but not the UAE. The Swiss mentality is very similar to the German one, you're not far from Germany (or Italy) and you have a lot of beautiful nature! Better than this bling bling in Dubai.

Yes, the problem I see in Dubai - if you wanted to live there - you constantly have the feeling that you have to keep up. And that can cost a lot of money... awww honestly!
There are Lamborghinis everywhere, Mercedes AMGs and Bentleys far and wide, even the cabs (Uber and Bolt) are the latest Lexus ES 300h limousines...
But there is also scam lurking everywhere - my girlfriend, for example, wanted to buy a scarf made of real cashmere.
It was offered to us in a store in a shopping center for 250 dirhams, i.e. about 65-70 euros.
We didn't buy it and a week later we found the same scarf in a supermarket for 10.90 dirhams, or 3 euros.
It was exactly the same scarf, with the same print - so it was just synthetic and not cashmere...
I was approached on the street and told that I should have a hair transplant on the spot.
But overall, the people in Dubai are all friendly - you can say nothing about that.
Dubai is a very interesting city for a maximum 10-day stay, but you generally just drive from sight to sight, because the city is simply not suitable for walking. The distances are much greater than you can imagine and the traffic is heavy - whether day or night, the streets are full.
And if you go for a walk anyway, all you see everywhere are absolutely perfectly mown lawns, perfectly trimmed hedges, a hundred absolutely identical-looking palm trees, grown so perfectly that it almost looks artificial.
There's no dirt on the street, there's nothing to catch the eye, it's all perfect - almost too perfect for me.
A good comparison is New York - the city is loud, dirty, crime-ridden and covered in graffiti, but you can walk around there during the day and discover something interesting at every turn. - I personally like it better - maybe it's also because I'm a "real Berliner" at heart and like such shitholes - I used to like Kuala Lumpur a lot too, by the way...
