Same in Norway, but product is called Vipps. It's slower to use for payment than contactless (you have to scan a QR-code if paying in shops), but it's so much easier for everything else than bank transfer and much cheaper and easi

WTF? This must be because of willful political sabotage? The license plate should follow the car and ownership should be changed online as part of the transaction. It sounds incredibly wasteful that every time a car changes ownership the se

In Scandinavia we have BankID which kind of uses SMS, but not quite. When I try to authenticate it sends a message to my phone and then I have to type in my 4-8 digit pin code on my phone. Apparently they have put a tiny application on the

The blind zones on regular trucks are absolutely insane. That we as a society let these vehicles drive around in populated areas is crazy. There’s a lot of construction in my neighborhood at the moment and it’s always a bit scary letting my

My kid is being evaluated now. He’s been a bit behind his peers and seems to struggle socially, but only in bigger groups. The psychologist first thought it could be some kind of autism, but after observing him at school, talking to him and

On Snapchat it’s extremely easy to take a quick photo and send to your friends. Open snap, take photo, edit photo (if you want) and select one or many friends or groups. Doing the same in any other messaging app is slower and more complicat

There were similar plans in Oslo and Bergen as well in the 60's that would have completely destroyed the cities.

Yeah. In residential areas you shouldn't need sidewalks, but it requires that the street is designed for it. It must be narrow, trees along the street or other street furniture helps make it appear even narrower than it is. Naturally d

Is it normal in the US that only one in a relationship is working? I don’t think I know anyone where only one in the relationship is working. To me it feels like the power dynamics in such a relationship quickly gets really toxic.

My town was “fiberized” twice. First by the local power company around 15 years ago. They laid the cable in the streets and then each house had to get their cable from the street and to the house wall (or they could pay a good chunk of mone

Twitter has barely changed for me the last 10 years. I only access Twitter from Tweetbot on my phone. Should Twitter decide to deny Tweetbot API access I’m pretty sure I’ll quit Twitter all together. Cause I don’t understand the web version

I worked in the Cinema industry when Dolby Atmos were introduced. It was a pretty big upgrade and quality assurance for each auditorium were strict. Speakers had to be installed all over the roof and more speakers had to be added all around

Most theaters moved to digital around 10 years ago and most of them got rid of their 35mm projectors (some kept one or two just in case)(I worked on the provider side of the migration to digital cinema at the time). In theory there should b

After 35 I've more and more noticed how the long darkness affects my mental health. I'm not in northern Norway, so the sun rises all year, but during winter it comes up after I go to work and sets before I go home. So it's ba

The Saudis bomb Yemen with cluster bombs made in the US with US agreement while at the same time the US sits in the UN and declare cluster bombs an abomination when used by the Russians. The hypocrisy is mind blowing.
