If you decide to do that I recommend taking the battery out first, if the phone can boot without it. Phones have a tendency of mismanaging their batteries to the extent they turn into spicy pillows relatively quickly, if you just leave it plugged in and use it remotely.

My main source for this is an LTT rant from back in the day, but I don't really have a reason to not believe that based on experience.

Not sure if that's a thing in France, but alternatively to plant milk for lactose intolerant

• Lactose-free milk (there are versions with lactose removed instead of broken down, that aren't sweet and taste basically the same as normal milk)
• Lactase enzyme taken together with the coffee, to break lactose down

I don't really see plant milk as the lactose-intolerant variant, but a vegan option, but that might just be due to the fact Finland has lactose-free milk available as an option basically everywhere as milk is such an important part of the coffee culture.

Eikös ihan samoilla perusteilla voisi vaatia kaupoilta rahaa lehtien kansien näkymisestä myymälässä, tai esimerkiksi kirjojen takakansitekstien näyttämisestä kirjakaupoissa? Linkki ei ole uutinen, ja linkinkeräimistä pääasiallinen kohde mihin päädytään on sen artikkelin julkaissut taho, sillä kyllä jos sisältö ihmistä kiinnostaa, niin linkkiä klikataan – se on sitten lehden ongelma jos linkin takaa ei löydy muuta kuin ilmoitus sisällön maksullisuudesta. Ei kukaan ala tilaamaan jotain perähikiän sanomia yhden artikkelin takia, mutta jos artikkelin voisi lukea esimerkiksi kuittaamalla 20 snt kertakustannuksen niin aika moni varmaan olisi tuon valmis maksamaan. Koko lehden digitilaus on vaan yksinkertaisesti liikaa.

Ylipäätään on hämmentävää miten vähän lehdet suostuu myymään lukuoikeuksia yksittäisiin artikkeleihin, sillä itse ainakin olisin valmis maksamaan kertaluvuista useampia kertoja päivässä. Tämä on ihan noiden uutissivustojen oma ongelma jos ei osata käyttää linkinkeräinten myötä saapuvien asiakkaiden mahdollisuutta hyväksi. Esimerkiksi jenkkimediat ovat kokeilleet yksittäisten artikkelien myymistä ja ymmärtääkseni tuo on ihan toimiva ratkaisu. Vielä kun osaisivat tehdä tuon anonyymisti siten, ettei se yksittäisen artikkelin lukuoikeuden ostaminen vaatisi käyttäjätunnuksia ja kirjautumista...

Personally I've been meaning to jump ship to Ubuntu Touch (yes, it's still being developed) which seems to be working relatively well. I still would need to keep a separate throwaway phone for online banking, though, since AFAIK the banking apps struggle running on virtualized android.

In Helsinki they have a specific emergency vehicle for clearing tram tracks. It's especially busy during winter as snow takes away some space from the parking and cars tend to start taking space away from the trams.

Article is in Finnish but hopefully automatic translation can get enough across.

CEOs: Finally using software is like talking to an intellectual equal

Most likely not, we're already having trouble with adblue (basically just urea) freezing, especially in the northern parts. There was recently some piece of news where a repair shop in Lapland was up to their neck in repair orders for emissions control systems due to frozen adblue liquid.

Practically all washer fluid sold in Finland uses some alcohol as the deicer, typically just your normal denatured ethanol. I'd also think having urea in the washer fluid would wreak absolute havoc on some parts that get exposed to it – I'm under the impression that it's quite nasty stuff for many different materials.

I could say precisely the same about standard pencils – you have to constantly be sharpening it if you want properly dense handwriting. Mechanical with .2 or .3 and you don't even have to rotate it to get a sharp edge.

1st one, with either .2 or .3 lead. That also happens to be what I main for writing already.

Old-timey equipment has it's own feel – and when the city has a matching aesthetic it can indeed be fairly convincing replica of what it might've looked like. Cars tend to be a giveaway, another is fashion, but just the b&w already does a lot (like in the following example).

Yep – planning to get a Fed 1 at some point as well, I tend to like shooting with rangefinders the most as they're so quick to focus. Maybe some more recent Zorki/Fed variant as well.

Thanks! Was pleasantly surprised how well this thing performs, especially for the price. It was probably this cheap mainly due to the poor driver support.
