Beware the rise of the 'Mega Shed'... as logistics demand (driven by online shopping) Will Laing (Newmark Group) claims that: 'On average, 69 sq ft (6.4 sq m) of warehouse space is needed to service each new home'.... if so, along with the new homes built (if Labour's policy succeeds) more Mega Shed will be popping up in unsightly locations.....

Our online shopping addiction has (as often) real world consequences

TechCrunch: Chinese shopping app Taobao joins DHgate in Top 5 on US App Store. “The Chinese e-commerce marketplace app DHgate, which is now the No. 2 free iPhone app in the U.S., isn’t the only one that’s oddly benefiting from President Trump’s tariffs on U.S. imports from China. Another Chinese shopping app, Taobao, has now also entered the Top 5 as of Thursday.”

Der neueste Trend in Onlineshops. Unter Bezahlmethoden steht "Kreditkarte". Wenn man dann bis zur Kasse vorgedrungen ist, stellt man fest, ist gelogen. "Klarna (mit Kreditkarte)".

Verbraucherschutz: "Klarna analysiert alle Kontodaten der vergangenen 30 Tage ab Zahlungszeitpunkt"

Wenn das mal kein eklatanter Verstoß gegen den Datenschutz ist, auf Bankenseite.

Product reviews are almost worthless now, as you see all extremes from "product disintegrated on first use, killing most of my village," to "product works so well, I've been embraced by my community as their new leader."

The only usable reviews were usually middle-of-the-road ones with pragmatic pro and con details, but I'm sure the fakers are on to that and write reviews w token complaints now, like "works super well, but I didn't like the manual typography."
