Would I use it again? Certainly yes!
I don't understand Telekom's efforts to switch me to fiber optics. They want to sell the same service to the same customer but more expensive, because the technology behind changed. Who would switch? And why would I switch if I pay less now?

iOS 17.1.1 drains the battery of my iPhone 14 Plus so fast that I barely can rely on a full day. And a lot of people experience this issue. It’s hard to believe that Apple has such a flawed release process that allows such a defective release.
I'm hiring a front end engineer. And it's very visible that the market is not in candidates favor, I'm flooded with applications. 2 years ago I had to reach out to engineers personally and convince them to start talking to me.
