I recently had to use the Belgian eID software and couldn't get it to work on the Windows 11 - it always failed with "A driver can't load on this device" - in the end I had to Turn off memory integrity setting (Microsoft support)
Since keeping the memory integrity setting is highly recommend - I would change the setting as soon as possible. Uninstall the Belgian eID software after you have used it and run pnputil to remove the faulty drivers so that you can enable the memory setting again.
The domain raw.githubusercontent.com serves raw, unprocessed files stored in Github repositories - think of it as GitHub's "direct file download" backend. Tools like curl, wget or Python scripts can fetch files directly using a specific url composed of the user name, repo, branch, folder and filename
curl -O https://raw.githubusercontent.com/[user]/[repo]/[branch]/[folder]/[filename]
example: curl -O https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jorisp/tradingnotebooks/master/data/DJI.csv
You can also read these raw files form GitHub using pandas.read_csv
ITables is a Python package available on Github (maintained by Marc Wouts) which changes how Pandas and Polars dataframes are rendered in Python notebooks and other Python applications. It works out of the box without any dependencies in Jupyter, Dash, Streamlit and Marimo.
For more info see:
To disable default rendering of Pandas DataFrames in VS Code Jupyter Notebook with Data Wrangler (after installing the extension) - follow these steps:
Datawrapper is designed to make professional-quality charts, maps and tables - even for those without coding or design skills. Also check out their blog which has excellent posts such as Fix my chart - turning donuts into bars (Part of the Data Visualization Do's & Don'ts).
"Statistiek Vlaanderen" (government agency in Flanders) makes extensive use of Datawrapper - it has used it to create more than 2000 Datawrapper charts and maps on more than 300 webpages. (Statistics Flanders: "We want to reach everyone")
I have noticed that the yfinance Python package requires regular updating to keep it working. yfinance is also one of the core libraries inside OpenBB and you can upgrade it independently of the other packages using this command
pip install --upgrade openbb-yfinance

I just published the notebook dividends.ipynb on my GitHub repository jorisp/tradingnotebooks which shows how dividends contribute to the total return. This notebook uses the yfinance API to retrieve the data. I used Telenor ASA (a Norwegian telecom operator) as an example.
If you are considering to invest in foreign dividend stocks as a Belgian investor, you need to keep in mind the double taxation of dividends. Even with a withholding tax applied abroad, the Belgian government will tax your dividend again at a flat rate of 30%.
