Often people will ask me to share my Amazon wishlist for birthdays/christmas. It's pretty convenient for them, and it'll mean I'm getting something I'm genuinely after.

However I'm trying to avoid Amazon going forward. Are there any websites you'd recommend that allow you to share a wishlist which collates links from other sites?

Hello,

The short version of what we want is end-of-life plans or repair instructions for future online-only games so that people can keep what they paid money for and not have it shut down with no recourse. We don't want servers to run forever, just to decouple support from your ability to play the game. We have <80 days to get our Citizens' Initiative to the European Commission!

Curve is a Google wallet replacement app that consolidates multiple bank cards into a single smart card and digital wallet, making it easier to manage your finances. Here are some key points:

2. The app claim to offer robust security features, including instant card freezing, transaction notifications, and the ability to set spending limits.
3. Curve provides cashback and rewards on purchases, which can add up over time and provide extra value.
4. The app is intuitive and easy to navigate, with clear transaction histories and spending insights.
5. Go Back in Time: A unique feature that lets you switch the card used for a transaction after the purchase, providing flexibility and control.

CONS:

1. While the basic version is free, some premium features come with a subscription fee.
2. Curve is not available in all countries, however, should be available in all EU and the UK.
3. Isn't an Open Source app and very likely they will sell your transactions history to other company (like google)

As we all know, the EU loves regulation, sometimes even overregulation. One area where I feel that regulation would help is computer hardware sale. When I want to buy a laptop and I visit the online retailers, normally 80% of the laptops come with Windows, 10% Linux and 10% Freedos or without any. I would very much welcome if the EU made it mandatory for manufaturers to offer the choice of OS when buying a new laptop. Just like you chose the color, how much RAM you wanted, SSD size, you could also chose what operating system you want it with. As part of that, manufacturers would be obliged to send a fix donation after every sold piece to the corresponding Linux distro team, which would help the chronic underfunding issue. Not sure how much the manufacturers pay for Windowsfor the license, but theoretically the Linux equivalent machine should be cheaper even after the donation. Any views are welcome.
