Re: Doesn't matter
I bought a Kia e-Niro, but more as a means of transport than a status symbol. Have looked at Tesla, didn't care much.
As for status symbol, in these parts they are popular among Uber/Bolt drivers.

As we have bank and broker accounts as well as pensions in half a dozen European countries I have made a document listing them with account name and contact details if appliccable; not passwords. This is printed and left in a sealed envelope which at least three persons know where to look for.
The thinking is that with a (translated) death certificate, an executor should be able to get to the assets.
I went through it in Denmark last year as my mother died, that part was fairly painless as everything is hung up on the social security number and most entities subscribe to updates from there. Even Ryanair played ball and refunded a ticked when presented with death certificate.
Subscriptions? Banks here will freeze accounts and cancel cards, so that sorts itself.
Very much the last sentence.
I was involved in a large logistics company's integration testing (so, after systems had been tested individually) and four errors were found that would have stopped suff moving. ATOH, the system pricing insurance damages to cars did not work the first days of 2000, it had reasonably enough not been tested.
In Denmark, which has a climate comparable to Scottish lowlands, the eastern bit, many are air source.
Houses are (better) insulated and heating systems use lower temperatures, making it easier to switch. But the statement that heat pumps don’t work at moderate frost is wrong.
Does the average consumer (not the average ElReg reader) realistically have a way of knowing what is repairable?
As an aside, I am trying to replace a cable on a MagSafe2 charger which sustained rabbit damage. I have done it before with success on an older MagSafe2, had bought a replacement cable, but Apple has changed the solder to something that doesn’t melt. Can’t get the old cable stump out, grrr
I have a DSLR (Nikon d5300) with both GPS and WiFi. Never tried the latter, GPS far too slow and battery sucking for practical use.
Why not have an app and say Bluetooth that gives location to the camera and let you send photos (perhaps just jpeg)?
Thom Hogan has complained about this for ages, and even suggested it to the Japanese companies. But they are still HW people.
What Camera makers have missed here is making it easier to get the photos off the effing camera - in far too many cased it involves shuffling around with cards or cables like 15 years ago; the SW integration is more often than not atrocious.
My aunt was working at the Royal Danish Mail, responsible for correspondence in English with other postal services.
In the seventies there was a lot of publications of graphical nature posted from Denmark, and in one case a shipment was returned from the US with the comment that they could not let that sort of stuff into the country. My aunt took a quick look and wrote back: “yes you can, it says printed in the USA”.
