    bilnik replied to the topic Can tech ease family worries? in the forum General Leica Discussion 3 months ago

    Hi! We've been using a system with wearable trackers for our younger children for a couple of years now. For us, it's been less about constant monitoring and more about having a safety net, especially when they're at crowded places or on school trips. Knowing we can quickly locate them if needed provides significant peace of mind. A real-time GPS…[Read more]

    bilnik replied to the topic Will Milady meme coin explode in the next bull run? in the forum General Leica Discussion 4 months ago

    I get the skepticism, but I wouldn’t write Milady off just yet. It’s true that many meme coins disappear as fast as they rise, but Milady’s strong community and NFT integration could give it an edge. Of course, this is still a highly speculative asset, so it’s not something to throw your life savings into. If you want a clearer picture of where t…[Read more]

    bilnik replied to the topic Why you should care about data broker removal in 2025 in the forum General Leica Discussion 4 months ago

    Been there, and it’s honestly a nightmare! I wasted weeks sending requests, only for my info to reappear. I finally signed up for a removal service, and they handled the takedown across multiple brokers. What’s great is they monitor and re-remove any new listings. It’s not just about privacy—it’s about security. Identity theft is way too common th…[Read more]

    Mensch, ich weiß echt nicht mehr weiter. Bei unserer Maschine scheint der Filter komplett dicht zu sein – die Hydraulik arbeitet nicht mehr richtig, und der Druck fällt ständig ab. Mein Chef will, dass ich mich um Ersatz kümmere, aber es gibt so viele verschiedene Filtertypen. Besonders bei Hengst weiß ich nicht, welcher der richtige ist. Hast d…[Read more]

    You know, I’ve been thinking about starting my own LLC in Arkansas, but all this crime talk has me worried. I read somewhere that the crime rates are pretty high, and I’m concerned about how it might affect my business. Like, will people even want to come to my shop if they think it’s unsafe? I mean, what if I get robbed or something? It just…[Read more]

    bilnik replied to the topic Any tips would be greatly appreciated! in the forum General Leica Discussion 7 months, 3 weeks ago

    I totally understand your frustration! I faced a similar situation last year with some of my travel photos. I tried multiple editing apps, but nothing worked until I discovered AI tools. One that really saved me was dewatermark.ai. It's straightforward—just upload your photo, and it removes the watermark while maintaining quality. It’s been a gam…[Read more]

    bilnik started the topic Är det en bra idé att spela där? in the forum General Leica Discussion 7 months, 3 weeks ago

    Hej! Jag har hört mycket om MGA-casinon utan svensk licens och funderar på att ge det en chans. Bonusarna verkar mycket bättre än på svenska casinon, men jag är osäker på om det är värt risken. Någon som har erfarenhet? Hur är det med säkerhet och uttag? Är det en bra idé att spela där?

    bilnik replied to the topic Is anyone else struggling to hire Laravel devs lately? in the forum General Leica Discussion 7 months, 3 weeks ago

    Yep, finding local Laravel talent has been rough for us too. My company switched to Laravel in 2020, and back then it was easier to find devs. But lately, it’s been slim pickings. We’ve had to shift to hiring internationally. We found a couple of excellent developers from Romania, and honestly, the quality hasn’t dropped at all. Remote teams are t…[Read more]

    bilnik replied to the topic Anyone experienced the same thing? in the forum General Leica Discussion 7 months, 3 weeks ago

    While that approach sounds appealing, I can’t help but feel skeptical. Lower fees are great, but I’m wary of jumping into untested waters. I’ve heard mixed reviews about different networks, and with the rise in scams, it feels risky. I think I’ll stick with the more established options for now until I feel confident in the new systems. There’s…[Read more]
