It’s possible to (mostly) avoid political stuff on those websites if one wants to, instead of refusing to use the sites completely. Just as an example, I rarely visit r/all, but I …

I use prisjakt regularly as well but mainly for the price comparison feature between retailers. The reviews on the website are decent as well though but there are typically a coupl…

I actually use Amazon DE/UK/US for to look at reviews but I more often than not end up purchasing from a Swedish e-tailer. There are some exceptions though, like when the price is …

I'm very interested to see how Amazon's entry into the Swedish market plays out. I used to shop a lot on Amazon back when I lived in the SF Bay Area and thought I would miss it whe…

> My company’s suggested implementation made it to the second round of proposals. If you don't mind me asking what company do you work for? I am actually studying computer science …

If you are looking for an alternative I highly recommend Bitwarden (not affiliated with the company). I switched over from Lastpass around a year and a half ago and am very happy w…

As a child in Sweden in the late 90s and early 2000s I recall that my dad had a hardware token to access his bank account. Though nowadays people in Sweden use BankID for the most …

+1. I migrated to Bitwarden from LastPass last year and haven't looked back. The desktop apps and browser extensions are fantastic and the UX is wonderful.

I have experienced the same behavior when trying to complete Captchas in Tor Browser. However the vast majority of the time it just says "Your computer or network may be sending au…

Thinkpad T series and Dell Latitude 7390/7490 are good choices around that price.

Thinkpads have already been mentioned but I also highly recommend the Dell Latitude, especially the 7490. They have fantastic keyboards, great battery life, and absolutely amazing …

I ended up doing this last year. I bought a Sintech adapter and a Toshiba XG4 SSD for my 2015 15” rMBP. It works just fine but the battery life ended up being terrible compared to …

There is no tuition fee if you are an EU/EEA/Swiss citizen.

No. Almost every MS program and course at KTH is in English, even for Swedish students. Swedish students who are doing their MS are typically in a 5 year degree program where you d…

I just had an onsite interview at their HQ in Stockholm this morning. The recruiter I spoke with in person mentioned their employee growth percentage in the last couple of years an…

This is a fantastic list. Thank you for sharing. I moved from the SF Bay Area to Stockholm around 6 months ago to do my MS in computer science at KTH and I am still surprised by th…

This was a very interesting read. I’d love to see a similar write-up for a developer laptop. This is a small nitpick but the battery should be listed as 42 Wh, not W/h.

This website is one of my favorite resources for traveling. I travel in Europe quite often and I always visit this website when I need tips on how to get from point A to point B. I…

I’m a fan of Firefox and I use it when I am docked at home or near a power outlet but the battery life hit is enormous on Mac OS compared to Chrome and Safari. The performance is f…

I’d recommend taking a look at https://www.privacytools.io . It has quite a few recommendations for different services that respect your privacy, many of which are FOSS. For e-mail…

They could always try charging 1 USD/year for the service /s
