  First time I saw Wero in the wild! Yesterday I bought some cinema tickets online and noticed that I was able to pay with Wero, the European alternative to PayPal. In times when governments might use critical infrastructure as a means of pressure, we should have alternatives at our disposal. Anything else would, in my view, be irresponsible. PayPal was still the default option, though. Now it's on us to change that. Kudos, kinoheld.de! Way to go! https://wero-wallet.eu/

  One thing that always bothers me with the big AI providers: you have to supply it with a lot of your data and your business's domain knowledge for the best results. But how much can you trust them? Satya Nadella, CEO of Microsoft, is very open here: Not much.  They earn twice. They get the money and the knowledge.  And you have to go to great lengths to avoid that—and they're only too happy to sell you the tools you need to do so. https://thenextweb.com/news/nadella-reverse-i...

  Is big tech losing it completely now? "Amazon confirmed Friday that it is financing a massive private gas power plant in Texas that could become the single-largest source of greenhouse gas emissions in the United States." Meanwhile, still waiting for the "AI will solve climate change" folks to come up with actual solutions. https://techxplore.com/news/2026-08-amazon-massive-private-gas-centers.html
