  • Well in Germany there’s a greater percentage of English speakers than in other European countries, I don’t think there are many teams in Spain, Italy or France speaking in English.

    I’m not in IT so my knowledge is not first hand but I do know that while there are jobs the competition is crazy, job offers for a single position or two get thousands of applications. For a company to hire someone on the other side of the pond op would have to really stand out from the other thousand applicants.


  • I don’t want to demoralize you just to be realistic. Those languages aren’t getting you very far (maybe try in Ireland or malta), English proficiency in the eu isn’t great. Also those fields you listed are super saturated.

    When you say remote do you mean working from the states? A European wage with American CoL? I think many Americans think we’re paid the same as them. We are not. A waiter in the us prolly makes more than a (medical) doctor or an engineer over here, and I’m not talking about fresh out of college.

    Hotels, bars, restaurants in some touristy areas in Spain (east coast, Mallorca, Ibiza…) do hire native English speakers. Also teaching English as a second language. But I’m not sure you’ll get many offers without being already here.








  • Maybe it’s playing devil’s advocate but how is this consistent? Can you put a listing in Amazon, booking, Airbnb… and tell the customer ‘don’t buy it here! Come to my site or call directly to us and we’ll give you a better price without Amazon’s (or any other) cut!’? Also with the third party apps/stores on iOS (which I support more than this one even if I feel that it can go very wrong) I don’t see them doing it with other platforms like Nintendo’s or Sony’s (PlayStation).


  • The tech very much has existed for a few years now, but not on a home setting. I don’t know about this product because as you said there’s very little info, but as professional and industrial uv printers go the consumables would be the uv-curable ink (which is some nasty shit) and the parts that get in contact with it–printheads, caps, wipers, dampers, filters, pumps… not every printer has all of these but all will have some way of delivering the ink to and to clean the printhead(s). They have white and usually varnish inks, and they chug these two while the colour layer is similar to that of a regular inkjet printer. They also waste ink on the cleaning (that you’ll do a lot) and this one seem to include a tank or cartridge for fluid for auto-flushing. Also electric and electronic components degrade and fail as well. None of those come cheap, uv lamps are pretty pricy too but last long (I don’t know about this one, it seems pretty small. The ones I’ve seen are more robust with radiators and fans, the cheapest of which costs more by itself than this whole machine) if you take care of them.
