    On switching peripherals between both work and home computers, I've been using for a few years now a UGREEN USB Switch. It's around £21 for the USB 2 version at the moment in the U…

    Sorry, it's not your fault but I found this funny because, of course German is the top first language in the EU, it's EU's most populous country, by far. Romanian is the 7th and Du…

    I use another browser for those sites. So Firefox with all the fancy add-ons for 99% of my browsing and then Edge for those times I really can't have it failing on me (any sort of …

    That's what happened with the new Bloomberg HQ in London. It's a nice museum underground.

    Sometimes they do, sometimes they don't, at least in Europe. If you're price sensitive, always check both before booking it. Some examples: I've booked directly with the place to p…

    I've been in that situation myself, a wave luckily brought me closer to the shore as I was about to quit and then I could just run to safety. I'm much more aware of dangerous zones…

    We might need to consider not all cities are made to be tall. You cannot make Lisbon or Vienna go tall, otherwise it's not Lisbon or Vienna anymore... Also, it's silly to move loca…

    This happened to me once. I was not allowed in the building so I called a colleague to bring me in as a visitor. Upon trying to login, "account has been disabled". Called IT, "you'…

    I've seen this happening in the UK to around 40 colleagues at 10am one day. I'm assuming it's because it's a sensitive job information-wise so one is not allowed to touch his compu…
