Get a new cable, can also try headset type cable with converter. Sometimes they're not the right size and then you get connection problems.

Oh, that is expensive. Here in northern sweden I pay $0.08 per kWh. However you guys plastered all your houses with solar panels a few years ago so I guess that helps a lot to keep the cost down by not needing to buy so much.

Around here we have a custom of letting your kid have a nap in the baby wagon outdoors, even in winter. I guess people started using baby monitors for that by now. When I was small, mum just left a window a bit open (1970-ish Sweden). This

When I feel a bit to much about a subject I open notepad and write the comment there and then just close the window if it feels inappropriate. This way there is no risk that I accidentally post it but it still feels like I got to say what I

And before you replace it you just take it out, shake it a bit and put it back in again for another 200 pages. Repeat until it starts giving you missing lines on the pages. This can be going on for many cycles. I just plopped in my spare th

The first tip I got from an older fellow computer nerd at the first company I worked at was: When customer asks for printer, suggest brother for laser and canon or epson for inkjet. So far I'm very happy I listened. The Brothers just w

Just buy a Brother printer. Mine is probably more than 15 years and runs very cheap and no failures. Haven't even changed drum yet. 3rd-party toners very cheap and can be easily found online.

I was using it until the service blocked Pop3 and Imap a few years ago, then I gave up and moved to gmail and protonmail.

There is an organisation called "The Farmers Own Market" (but in swedish). The rule is 250 km max distance from farm to market. The people selling has to be involved in the physical farming to be allowed to sell there. There are a

When I was a kid (35+ years ago) we used to buy tomatoes from a greenhouse locally. They had some boxes on the back with second sorting greens and a box for money. We grabbed 3-4 bags full of tomatoes, left the money and by the time we were

It's more like doing ROT13 and ROT12 to strengthen the encryption. To decrypt you just need to do ROT1, not ROT-12 followed by ROT-13.

You can also use the + for email adress, my.name+facebook@domain.com. No need to register another mail adress for each service. It can lead to problems logging in though, not everyone knows that + is a legal character in mail adresses.

It's a bit messier than that though. When spoken in English, Finland is often included in the term. However everyone here knows it's not realy. We instead use "Nordic countries" to include Finland and Greenland.

Brother (and all others) make different grades. You can pay a little more for a printer that is rated for more prints before needing a new drum. At work we were chewing through 2 brothers per year of the cheaper consumer grade type. Paid ju

You could set how long the modems would wait for reconnect. We had a service that offered free phone calls with 15 seconds interruption for ads now and then. Worked fine for free bbs time if you knew how to set it :)

You also have to watch out for the powersupply of the laptop. Some companies give you a 70-90 W even though your computer needs 120 W at high load, counting on the battery giving the extra juice for the short bursts. If you do long processo

Yes, but only with ear protection and while the battery can keep up. When the battery is out of power, the computer shuts off. Need to buy a better powersupply than the one it came with...

The analogy fails to account for the captains investment in wings that makes the ship fly over land (remake offices into appartments with dirt cheap labour).

Thankfully you can do sound isolation without concrete. If they do that or want to save money is a different topic I guess.

This is not a problem with the anti-discrimination laws but with the justice system itself. In Sweden there is no meaning to get a lawyer and sue everyone because it won't be worth the money for the lawyer. So we do get to have nice th

I love StreetComplete but I wish it was faster at discovering nearby quests, it can take many minutes if you are in a new area and have many quest types active.

It's very sad that such a page is needed. In some parts of the world it's not though. When we rebuilt the store I was working at 20 years ago, it wasn't even a discussion about it. Ofcourse there was a ramp to the entrance an

In Sweden it's totally OK to fix a program you own so you can use it, no matter what the license says. This includes disassemly if necessary.

For the customer that's an option yes, but for the restaurant not so much. If you have a look at the fineprint of the blender it will say something in the line of "For private use only". This is not just because they want to

There is actually some standards here at least. 01/02/03 has one order, 01-02-03 another. The character between tells you how to read them. Not that most people know how though...

Sometimes that database feels more like a jetplane when all I need is a hammer for my nail. Excel (or libreoffice calc) is perfect for a lot of stuff, especially those small things that you won't ever do again.
