I use Fastmail for that and without noticing, I'm to 32 "fake" addresses. Got banned by EA for buying and playing a game with an account on such an address.

that's only one part of what they're saying. Sure, conflict of interest is imoral, but telling me I am only allowed to do work for acquaintances and that once in a while... you can gently fluff off. And they keep repeating "a

That’s the problem with the money incentive most stores have here - what I mentioned in the original post, that the security personnel receives 50 - 100 euros per “thief” caught

My problem was with Obi. Most stories I read on Reddit were from Rewe, especially when using those self scanning guns. DM has indeed some pretty good self checkout tills. IKEA is pretty good also. Obi and Bauhaus are abysmal.

You can buy smart vibrations sensors for that. No vibrating should mean it’s done, unless it lets the clothes soak- I have no idea, washed clothes hundreds of times but I’ve never looked to see what the washer actually does

A company I use often, Wizz Air, had/has to regularly ground these planes. It’s always a safe bet to book seats at the front of the plane to be sure that your seat doesn’t magically disappear when you are at the gate (happened last Eas

They cache the preview for subsequent messages containing the same link. For example, if a link is making the rounds and gets sent 200k times in an hour, they don't call the URL 200k times to build the preview, as that's a huge wa

I’ve heard some form of this from every company fighting unions. If that’s really the case, wouldn’t it be beneficial to the finances of the company overall if the union is requesting less benefits?

I very very rarely use streams but what Sky fails to understand is that I wouldn’t buy their service even if there wasn’t any stream available. It is simply too expensive. I am talking about Sky Sports here for example. Also in Germany for
