    Ya, more have thrown in the towel. ABN AMRO pulled out of retail and consumer operations quite some time ago, that also sucked. RBS and ANZ took over their retail, wealth and commercial portfolios but that was useless for me.

    From my telecom provider: In the United States, the standard rate applies instantly. A single megabyte costs several euros. Uploading one high-resolution photo to Instagram consumes 5MB. You pay up to €15 for one post. In Asia, the billing zones become even more expensive. Japan, Thailand, and...

    Same here. A cheap 1 GB subscription. Just need to be careful it’s on WiFi and roaming is off when activated.

    New laws- Government control

    A big trend now in certain circles is to remove the inner parts of the knalpot (exhaust pipe) of the motorbike. They think that’s very cool / funny. Esp. at 2 AM that loud sound carries very far. Then you have the modifications in the brakes and wheels in the small trucks which create a...

    Can a foreigner legally build and operate a villa rental business in Bali?

    It can get very messy btw; I’ve seen already quite some properties with sublease. In one case there were two levels of sublease; so the one you have a contract with is leasing from someone who is leasing from someone who is the original leaseholder. You can imagine what will happen if one of the...

    Bali deports expats

    I’m still somewhat uncertain what to think about all this. If you’d create a group or club for people with blue eyes or from Congo or for women with obesity, you would only accept those who meet the criteria right? Would that be illegal? This Entourage aimed at digital nomads. I could imagine...

    The future and the role of Artificial intelligence.

    Our son just told me there’s a word for it: ‘housefishing’. I’m getting old.

    Now that I’m putting time in this I looked at their website…. https://tello.com/help_center/esim/how-to-switch-to-a-new-phone-with-esim ….it seems WiFi suffices so with Tello it could work also.

    Well, if you see the ‘KPN method’; after a request in their app the eSIM was downloaded and installed via WiFi, not via a mobile network So there was no roaming. Then KPN asked for a payment of 1 cent to verify the owner of the subscription, and sent an email verification code. Obviously these...

    The future and the role of Artificial intelligence.

    A very good target group is the real estate sector. It’s amazing what a simple AI improvement can do to a living room or terrace. And that does look real. Just try something in WA while selecting a picture; results are amazing.

    Is that spoken from experience? Depending on the operator, I have seen this fail (Orange) or work (KPN). Some have a one time - one phone approach, others allow a move. No idea about Tello or the US but worth a try.

    Indonesia & Corruption: a few articles in the past few weeks

    But what‘s the alternative? Religion is the most important thing in life? I’d prefer some healthy capitalism then.

    The future and the role of Artificial intelligence.

    They make these videos on the beach etc. which look a bit like scenes of the first Avatar movie. They must spend millions on this advertising, bombarding eh … millions of people with that crap.

    I think you will be stuck with asking a family member / friend in the US to install the eSIM on their phone. And then request a replacement of the eSIM via the website of the operator of course.

    A Community Rejected the Build of a US$100 Billion Data Center

    In many countries all asbestos has been banned 25 years ago. While the World Health Organization (WHO) classifies all forms of asbestos as carcinogenic and advocates banning its use, asbestos is still legally permitted and widely used in Indonesia, leaving many industrial workers at serious...

    Michael vs Michael. 🎯 What a great game.

    Pascal Ackermann, the German from Jayco AlUla, shares a photo on Instagram which shows how he just avoided the collision with a 'fan'. The man, dressed in long fishnet stockings and a short skirt, among other things, raises his ass to the cyclist. Ackermann clearly has to do his best not to fall...
