    Windows 11

    SQL Server is the only Microsoft product I like. (Except maybe some keyboard or mouse back in the days) Advice: If you want to earn big bucks, stand by a product that is as expensive (like $7500/core for Enterprise Edition) as possible and become really good at it. (Of course, in Sweden we work...

    SSDs - State of the Product?

    I agree. Perhaps 8 TB is pushing the limits of current technology? I imagine it's easier to manage cooling, reliability and so on in the 3.5/2.5/EDSFF formats. In the server space M.2 are more common as boot drives where I suppose they see a lot less activity than their carrier mounted friends...

    Need a Decent Phone

    It was not a bit of a fight, ot was really serious business. Almost as bad as soccer supporters in Europe, but without physical fighting. :) I had both the C64 and Amiga 500, they were really nice computers, the Amiga had specialized chipsets for graphics, sound and MMU (Denise, Paula & Agnus)...

    You clearly didn't take part in the Amiga vs. Atari wars. I still hate Atari ST.

    Shame about the damage to the bike, hope it's not that bad.

    Cycling

    That is still very good, I hope you get back into your normal routine. I managed to ride 5000 km last year, up from previous years of 1500-1600 km. For me, riding outdoor is still the best when the weather lets me, great way to let the thoughts wander and enjoy the local scenery in 3D. 🙂

    Cycling

    I had a few years when I didn't ride bikes very much. One year I started riding like crazy, because we only have like 3 months of summer and got an injury. In early 2019 we got a dog, during the pandemic I got too fat for cycling clothes. But a while I bought an indoor trainer (Kickr V5) and...

    Have to agree that Icelandic is very beautiful.

    My mother passed away

    My condolences. And what Handruin said, take your time, but I hope you stay around.

    You are probably right Merc, there are more useful languages you can learn unless you plan on moving here. But Danish, Norwegian and Swedish are all very closely related, if you can speak one you can usually understand the others. Norwegian is maybe my favourite language of the three because the...

    Man, this sounds impossible, even the poor danish children start talking later than others because they talk so strange. 🙂 Sweden and Norway is also nice, and Belgium also seems to be OK (besides Netherland). But your skills should be in high demand anywhere. I hope it sorts itself out soon.

    We use a moka pot, size 6 is perfect for one large mug. https://www.bialetti.com/ee_en/venus.html Just fill with water + coffee and wait a couple of minutes. I also found a normal off-the-shelf coffee with a roast that works great with our local water quality, so I'm really happy with it. It's...

    That sounds like a great idea. Norway is really beautiful, and when you're tired of the fjords (takes a few days) you can turn right and travel south through Sweden. =)

    Welcome to the nordic countries. :) I hope you and the family like it here. Denmark is really nice, should be the perfect base if you want to travel around Europe. I have a ~1200 km trip to make within Sweden before I even reach Denmark or Germany.

    Mech keyboards

    I bought a Varmilo with their EC Sakura switches a while ago. They click and requires mute during Teams meetings, but I like the feeling of both the keyboard (heavy+dampened) and the switches. My only other experience with mechanical switches is with MX Red + the IBM in 1987 or so.
