I'm on my entry position and I had the pleasure to file my taxes for the first time in my life a few years back. The web app is absolutely awful to use and offers easily the worst user experience I've ever seen. I gave up and deci

Absolutely true, Graphhopper is amazing. But I completely agree with the point of the original comment. Open Source software often comes with questionable usability and is often not well fitted to be used by the average consumer. While lots

Thats not right. You can easily get an appointment in Germany, even multiple times. If you have a referral, you usually get an appointment earlier than people who directly went to the specialist. However, if you have acute pain you will qui

Same with Audi. Funnily enough, we got an Audi A4 a while ago and decided to include Android Auto for obvious reason. The car supports Android Auto only (no CarPlay), but came with a USB to Lightning cable. We were never asked which cable w

Thank you, I was about to point that out as well. Ecosia advertises with "we plant trees" because that is what people understand and want to hear. Under the hood, there is a lot more going on. Ecosia does not only support one but

As for Netflix I found a great alternative. Many people are selling their DVD/BluRay collections on eBay as bundles. With the rise of streaming services, there is usually not a whole lot of competition on these auctions. I somehow mana

I live in Germany, in the city. If asked, I guess about 60% of people in my street still need a car. Why do you ask? Because public transport is slow and expensive in lots of instances. Even if you'd be able to cover 60% of your needs

Considering the overall environmental impact of any personal vehicle on the street, regardless of power source, that seems like a close to impossible task. Public transit seems like a promising solution, but only goes so far. With the stron

In the worst case, there are people in poor countries solving those chaptas for relatively little money. Probably not worth for everyone, but when operating a botnet on a large scale, thats probably a pretty attractive option as well.
