In general I’m all for the digital euro and have been waiting for it for years. One complained i have about the proposed implementation as explained in the video is the limitation of funds and almost coerced linking to a bank account. That feels like heavy lobbying from banks not too loose their business

Nope, works absolutely fine with cable as well. Not sure how it was in the past, but I’m not particularly missing any feature

I can very well imagine them actually gathering all that data, but this list of permissions is something a lot of apps have nowadays. Even very trivial apps. And 99% of people don’t care.

Of course it’s another matter if you immediately have the kgb in front of your door, compared to just getting your data collected and sold, but still

Actually even for qr codes the pixel count (or rather camera quality) makes a huge difference. Got a new phone last year with much better camera then previous. Suddenly during presentations i didn’t need to awkwardly semi stand up and try to get closer. Just recognized the code immediately

Same for phones. But that’s the norm unfortunately

That’s solved now that PayPal (and others?) start including this functionality into their mobile apps. No card reader required anymore

Also, dass jeder der ein Kind bekommt sich auch dafür Zeit nehmen sollte (beide) stimme ich absolut zu. Leider sind halt aber alle Kinder unterschiedlich und ich kann den Vorredner voll verstehen. Was du hier erzählst klingt nach einer schönen Zeit, könnte ich mir mit meiner Tochter aber auch überhaupt nicht vorstellen. Kuscheln und chillen existieren in ihnem Wörterbuch nicht und das erste Jahr hat sie auch nicht allein geschlafen, dh es war 24h jemand bei ihr und nebenbei konnte man maximal Videos schauen wenn sie schläft.

Daran ändern kann man halt nichts, aber da überlegt man sich schon genau ob man noch eins will

It’s funny how the translation almost always goes back to front

Yes, but…

I do agree partially with your statement. But (as always) it’s a little more complicated.

BambooLab was known for their walled garden approach and that they have apple as their idol. So in that sense, people buying it, did so oftentimes willingly and therefore enabled the company to pull these stunts. I’m not blaming the people for going with the most comfortable solution, but that’s usually what you get

I do that sometimes, but only if the person in front of me is driving slower than my cruise control. then i overtake them, during which they obviously have to speed up and when i go back to cruise control speed now I’m the slow one

I’m sure it gets better now that the nazi party got relative majority in the elections /s

Can only hope nobody wants to form a coalition with them

Physical for your main contract, esim for traveling

I had a similar approach until recently: 100€/year +100€, mostly 300-400€ phones for about 4-5 years (so not that many). But my last phone was 500€ and i doubt I’ll use it for 6 years, so let’s see
