Granted, I have not been on facebook in the past few years but Nextdoor looked pretty similar in level of rantiness and fearmongering/racism. Could be the people in Central Florida though, don't know. Was shocked by the amount of

Ouch :( Just checked, and at the address I left in Sweden I could have gotten a 1.2GBps for ~$60/mo, almost what I pay for 100MBps here...

Moving from Sweden to the US (Florida) I can't say I've noticed much of a difference in connectivity. 100, 200, 300 & 1000MBps is readily available in both places but usually around at 3x the price in the US. Rural America see

What? PCs means personal computers, they can run all sorts of OSes. In some cases I would even consider a device running macOS a PC. To jump to him promoting Windows is a bit of a stretch.

I just bought a new phone, ended up with an a50 with 6.4" display. I absolutely hate the size of the screen, but there are depressingly few options in the 4-5" range :( Just like with Smart TV, there are lots of people who don

With cats you'd take away their food and water about 8-10h before the flight. We took our cats in cabin from Sweden -> Florida, about 19h total door to door. They were real champs with no accidents. We lined the soft carriers with p

I had a Nexus 5X for a few years and the USB C port started progressively giving out at around 8 months. I had to lay it down flat find a position where it would charge and hope no gust of wind would hit it. Forget charging it while using i

5A is an amount of current. It's nonsensical to talk about in isolation. I regularly replace 20A fuses (among the smaller ones) in my car. 5A in the US gives you 550W, not enough to power a microwave. In most (if not all?) countries in

Also, taking home leftovers is a very American thing. Most places in Europe serve portions that you're actually able to finish.

I have a kindle that I think I've read 5-6 books on since buying it in 2016. It's great for longer trips where bringing multiple books is inconvenient, but otherwise I prefer not having to worry about charging or losing yet anothe

I don't trust Plaid to handle my credit card responsibly, that's why I'm handing them a credit card number instead of a debit card number. With a credit card I can do charge backs if I'm victim of fraud. If I give out my

Looking at ARN's past judgements, there doesn't seem to be any restrictions on marketing "unlimited data" plans with throttling in Sweden, as long as that's in the contract. There was one case in 2011 where the cons
