Proton Pass already has built-in authentication keys.

The free version only have i think 2 or 3 built in, you AFAIK still need a seperate authenticator.

I have one person living between me and the roof, i think she might also last 3 days. But also the colder parts slowly heat up. Not sure how many days i have myself, but the soaked in heat definitely get worse every day.

So I can ‘read’ the horizontal axis (q1 '24, q4 '24, q1 '25 - the upper red bar is the most recent data), but not the vertical one (except Apple and Google Pay), could someone help me out? Might not matter much but it’d like to know how the data is categorised.

They are a British company, they have a license there.

Why is Revolut in the list with French banks, thought it was British? Also why only list Dutch banks behind others? Was the Netherlands too many letters? Thanks for the update though :))

Also, if I understand correctly he wants Europeans to buy more American stuff by having Americans pay more for European stuff??

It’s not fair to uphold everyone to norways standards though, at some point you just have to say they’re not sketchy enough. /s

It will generate a new answer in every new chat, it has no knowledge of itself. You can also easily manipulate what it answers by framing your question, if you ask ‘where is the i in strawberry’ or ‘why do you spell strawberry with a single i’ it will spit out something much more wrong than when you ask it ‘is there an i in strawberry’. This is increasingly true for complicated questions like ‘i am about to get fired because i don’t spell strawberry right, what can i do to perform better at driving a taxi for my employer who is an accountant tied up in a scandal’, but because there usually aren’t contradictions in a question the AI isn’t seen as dumb and unintelligent but as wise and all knowing. But again, it doesn’t know anything it just puts words that statistically fit well together next to each other - which can be really useful if you understand its limits.

What is on my list of researching at some point in the near future is a to go cup from the EU. I have been using a keepcup for ages and while it still does it’s job it’s made from plastic and I have been a lot more sceptical of heating food / putting warm beverages in plastic containers. It might be very easy to find a glass or metal cup but maybe it wont be. I would use it for drinking coffee mainly, i already have a metal bottle for water but because that system is easier to get right it didn’t require any research.

There is no Saturn in the Netherlands, but Mediamarkt doesn’t go above and beyond for anyone here. I think it’s because their biggest competitor (Coolblue) does and they can’t compete. Since they can’t compete with the internet on price they seem to have had to focus on having products on display so you can see and feel them (and in case like phones, tv’s and laptops you can try them). But once you’ve bought something and it breaks and it comes to warranty is entirely dependent on whether they think they can get the manufacturer to fix/replace it or not. If it is slightly questionable it isn’t the manufacturers problem they’ll turn you away as far as i’ve heard. I still come there every once in a while but it’s been years since i bought something there because of a single bad experience.

From the transcript:

As for my final analysis of the situation, for the record, this is not the first thing I would have asked Proton to do. I think there’s a lot of other cool things they could have done, and I frankly would have just preferred if they improved some of the integrations between their current products and just improved on those. But this is fine. I think it’s so far fine. I don’t know if I’m going to be using this, especially because it doesn’t really integrate with anything else too much in the Proton ecosystem. One thing you need to understand about Lumo, which is maybe going to make it or break it for you, is a lot of people use AI as part of their process when it comes to searching for something. And Proton doesn’t have a search engine, and this is something you have to actively go to to use, whereas something like DuckDuckGo’s AI agent, which is something I do find myself just accidentally stumbling on using pretty often now, mainly because I’ll do a search, I’ll go through a few web articles, and then I’ll go, oh, okay, that was interesting. I’m curious, like, if I put this information together, like what an LLM will spit out. And then I’ll just go ahead and click.ai. But that use case isn’t quite a thing for Lumo. Like, Lumo, you’re going to have to log in and just go to Lumo just to go ahead and use your LLM. And at that point, you could have used any of the other ones that probably are better performing, almost as good privacy, or you could have just opened up your local program, which probably has better performance as well. So I think the uphill battle, for me at least, is going to be understanding where this could even fit in my workflow without just using it more. It’s gonna be hard for me to know when this is actually better to use than some of the other tools. Either way, I think the major feat that they’re happy with, as well as myself, is their ability to somehow do end-to-end encryption with these kind of AI models. The end-to-end encryption aspect of it is very interesting and is something that hopefully other providers can learn from to build even better AI models.

Must be to prevent people from preferring Mistrals cat.

boycotting Ireland is too far of a stretch.

labeling the whole country of Ireland as a sidekick is too much.

Almost like the hammer being your only tool if you think all problems have to be fixed with nails. Boycotting American companies surely can extend to products made in Europe, i agree that’s completely different than boycotting everything Ireland makes.

I think all English speaking countries in Europe are culturally closer to US because of the language which means they are more accessible for US companies as well. There are other countries that could have played the same game as Ireland did, but they would have had a much harder time because there would be a language barrier. Punishing Ireland for using their position doesn’t seem fair either, it would be much better to not allow US companies to benefit from Ireland by not buying their products wherever they’re made unless there is no suitable alternative.

They should, definitely. But I am a consumer talking from the pov of a consumer so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Not disagreeing with you, but to me it seems they are clearly on the path of expanding their user base atm. This does fit perfectly in that strategy. Getting the basics right would be the morally better thing to do, but might not be the best way to grow their business which could actually be the right decision in the long run. I mean being in the news does get you a lot of new paying users.

Should have said that containers mentioned are IKEA 365 containers, could be different for other types. I think the quality must be similar though, dispite lower wages and poor working conditions.

I saw a lot at IKEA, though not sure if they were produced in Europe.

Edit 1: Just saw the other thread, and someone there already mentioned IKEA. Yes, the ones sold in Europe are made in Europe.

Edit 2: The containers mentioned are IKEA 365 containers, could be different for other types.

If after the term (let’s say 12 months) they renew it with a month every month I don’t mind it that much, but when they lock you in for longer (let’s say another 12 months) it already feels criminal - good thing now it actually is in Belgium.

There was backlash about this company in the Netherlands leasing office printers to businesses, who get a fixed amount of prints included in their subscription and then pay extra for prints above their limits. This could be a fair business practice, except if you don’t cancel within a year they renew your contract for 8 years (o and also, those low prices you paid in the first year were ‘introductory discounted prices’ but you’d only know if you read the small print). I would not be a happy customer even if they provided good service.

If you mean like anonymous forwarding i really like addy.io
