It's only more efficient in screwing over the customer, you are paying the same amount for less of the video you want to watch.
It's a shame really, my family had Sky TV about a decade ago and it always baffled me how you pay for the extra channels and then they still have ad breaks.
Avoid Euronet everywhere in Europe, just find a bank or credit union with an ATM, they will charge you no or very little fees usually, unfortunately Euronet have a lot of ATMs at airports and in tourist hotspots but their fees and conversion rates are very bad.
It's been very windy recently so we are hitting around 40-60% wind power at the moment but there were moments last year where we were only getting 3% from wind power if it isn't very windy and unfortunately that means using more gas turbines for power which is an expensive source of energy at the moment.
You aren't really whining, governments 20 years ago were worrying about "boom and bust" cycles but it feels like we only get "bust and bust" cycles at the moment.
So many repost bots too. I don't even browse reddit that much and I see the same posts over and over or videos and images reposted and taken out of context. It's becoming similar to the gutter press tabloids that aim for shock value and reaction.
Plus you have the people resigning around the lay-offs. Nobody wants to be on a sinking ship and having your workmates sacked and morale at the company dropping can make people think about other opportunities.
I love the non-Scottish people coming out of the woodwork trying to be experts on British politics. The SNP threaten to leave all the time, they lost the last vote by a landslide but they basically have to keep the threat alive to keep the money and powers coming from Westminster.
The SNP also mismanages many Scottish councils and there is far amount of sleaze associated with their members but it's "our sleaze" and not theirs so it is better.
They obviously found a good niche, people don't want to be overcharged for "premium" accessories and the cheapest stuff is usually useless or dangerous.
It basically is at this point. Every time one of these companies like Facebook, Google, Twitter...etc get caught doing something dodgy they just say it was the algorithm's fault and call it a day. Like when Facebook was selling ads to anti-semites or Google just banning people from their services for undisclosed reasons.
Maybe you need to find something that you really enjoy? It feels like you are just hoarding information at the minute, if you enjoy learning something and find the technology useful then you will find it much easier to stick with it.
This is based on a tiny amount of information from you though so take my opinion with a pinch of salt.
I guess they have good intentions but you can't simply make a phone have a replaceable battery since phones are tightly packed nowadays, you may have to change the way the phone is packaged quite considerably if the battery is not near the back of the phone.
Also whats the point of replacing the battery of an out-of-support phone? Even excluding Android being out of date some applications will not let you even connect to their servers if your application is too out of date.
More like stagnation, I think pretty much everybody in the world has either decided to use or not use Facebook, there is nowhere for growth since it doesn't appeal to young people and their brand is pretty toxic.
Japan is a weird exception. The house I live in the in the UK was built in 1896 and isn't out of the ordinary, if the building is maintained properly you are fine.
They already have, most AV software nowadays is adware. If you are lucky they'll just slurp your data and maybe get you to install Chrome or some other random piece of software but some are even using your PC to mine cryptocurrency nowadays.
That's right, basically kitchen appliances, although fancy lads have separate utility rooms for washing machines and tumble dryers, and they often come in white so I guess the term stuck.
The general population isn't becoming more technical though, as an example almost everybody drives cars but most people aren't mechanics. People see cars and tech as a means to an end, which is perfectly fine for me. They just want to get their job done.
How is not touching a programming language until college a bad thing? Some people just want to make a living out of software engineering and then go home and they aren't sweating over Web 4.0 or whatever we are on now.
