Tax on cars and motorcycles is high in Denmark. So goodbye to Germany’s SUV culture, and welcome to the EV world. I did buy a small petrol car though, but those are getting more and more rare. A lot is written about importing your car to Denmark and that it is better to sell it and buy again in Denmark. Well, if you sell something you don’t want to sell, you loose money, and if you buy the same you loose money again. Selling your big SUV and buying a small car in Denmark makes sense and saves money. But that is not a fairRead More →

After 12 years in Germany, I had the opportunity to start a new job in Denmark. It’s a neighbour country to Germany, so big deal, how different can it be… Well in context of digital economy, Germany and Denmark are not just different, they are night and day.

The truth is much simpler and anybody can find it. Just display the real, i.e. raw, email content with a font likeRead More →

So I chose this rather provocative title. Because the subject is discussed on the internet in a very non technical way: “With 16GB you are future proof.” Well, 8GB has been the baseline with Apple for over 10 years, and will most likely remain so with their unified architecture. Pro-users will buy more memory, but these users will definitely not buy your 3 year old 16GB second hand mac. Meaning the extra money you payed for 16GB will not result in a premium second hand value. The audience for your 2nd hand mac will more likely be first time users, or those looking for aRead More →
