Netflix: this is how blocking shared accounts works
After announcing that it wanted to prevent account swapping, Netflix gave more information on how the platform would do so. In an FAQ, the sVOD service explains that Netflix accounts can only be shared between people in the same household. This suggests that sharing detection will be based on 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 is more of a concern for those who use electric vehicles to get around. Specifically, to recover 100 km of autonomy, the price increases by 18% with the basic rate, 21% in peak hours or 10% in off-peak hours.
