  • Android recommendations for next version:

    I suggest QR Scanner because it can both read and generate and does not ask for network access unlike Binary Eye. It has a nice and intuitive UI but also manages to do advanced stuff.

    Thunderbird is already on the list but there’s an android version now. It’s based on K-9 and has gotten really good for a mobile e-mail client.

    I know a lot of people like Breezy Weather (I was one of them) but the simplicity of Bura makes it perfect in my eyes. The fact that it doesn’t have a graph for air quality or animated lock screens that match the weather makes it a fraction of the weight, really fast and does not ask for even half of the same permissions. I switched to Bura after noticing that it doesn’t need to run in the background since it’s so fast when you open it. It’s still prettier than the absolute most basic ones though.














  • I worked in one of the biggest telecom companies in Europe. This is most likely an order made through customer service. The telecom companies have known about this problem for a long time. They are trying balance security and ease of use for the customer.

    If company A implements noticeably stricter requirements for identification to order stuff, the average customer gets annoyed and switches to company B.

    Therefore the companies watch each other closely and implement stricter requirements slowly at about the same rate as their competitors.

    Protip: You can contact customer service of most telecom companies and ask them to write down a password that you need to tell them before you can order a SIM or other stuff.
