klauslovgreen··on Denmark's Jyske Bank lowers its negative rates on deposits
What’s next?
klauslovgreen··on Apple will soon treat online web tracking the same as a security vulnerability
Yes it often feels like fake news/promotion. Question is if any of these companies can be trusted. It is getting increasingly hard for users to make an educated decision about which tools are safe to use (if any) and the consequences associated with such choices in the long run.

Any links to best practise in this space?

klauslovgreen··on Germany Turns to Hydrogen in Quest for Clean Energy Economy
That's a valid point - charging EV's in multi-family buildings is an issue although there are many public charge stations now and with the range of new EV's a bi-weekly charge or so might be enough for most people.
klauslovgreen··on Germany Turns to Hydrogen in Quest for Clean Energy Economy
Good point - I am surprised to read this, thought hydrogen was a thing of the past. Most of the German car manufactures are releasing EV's though...
klauslovgreen··on Why does unsubscribing from a newsletter take “a few days”?
I came across this if you are using Gmail, pretty efficient: https://ctrlq.org/code/19959-gmail-unsubscribe
klauslovgreen··on National Australia Bank compromises thousands of customer details

klauslovgreen··on Apple Reports Declining Profits and Slowing Growth Again
I think the trouble is that the devices are getting too good and there is really only incremental improvement every year so the upgrade cycle is getting longer.

I typically get the latest phone every year (but it starts to feel unnecessary) - iPad's and Mac's, however, last a lot longer (several years) for me these days.

I wonder where the real innovation is going to come from? AI, AR?

klauslovgreen··on You’re Paying into a Broken System Whenever You Buy Something on iOS
The restrictions and policy applied by Apple and to some extend Google makes it very hard to get traction, particularly for smaller developers.

It feels extremely risky to develop high-budget new apps in this environment as there is a real chance the app will be rejected in order to comply with hard to understand limitations or end up not being allowed to be published at all.
