Netflix: this is how account sharing blocking works
After announcing that it wanted to prevent account sharing, Netflix gave more information on how the platform would go about it. In an FAQ, the sVOD service explains that Netflix accounts can only be shared between people from the same household. This suggests that the detection of sharing will be based on the IP address.
Why the increase in the price of electricity is higher than the 15% announced
This Wednesday, the regulated price of electricity increased by more than 15% in France. If this increase obviously affects all households, it concerns all the more those who use electric vehicles to get around. Concretely, to recover 100 km of autonomy, the price increases by 18% with the basic rate, by 21% in peak hours or by 10% in off-peak hours.
