I got a "Display dock" for my phone and didn't really believe the "use it like a PC" hype but I have to say I am genuinely impressed. Microsoft Office is absolutely useable and equivalent to the PC version when in docked mode.
(Of course, I can't get Visual Studio on the phone but can use it from my home machine via remote desktop.. so no need for my MacBook Air any more.)

Yeah... and from Samsonite you can get a nice bag to carry the Display and the Keyboard

Nice!
Which phone model do you have?
|
|
|
|
|
Nokia Microsoft 950XL running Windows 10.
I like the camera (and Nokia camera app which is very good) and MS Office but the phone gets very hot when running Netflix so I think there is still work to be done on that app.

Very hot?
I can barely hold mine when shooting a video longer than a minute or so, and I'm afraid to put it in my pocket until it cools off.

So the battery on my lappie has failed, no biggie. I order a new one; delivery in 2-3 days.
That was last Thursday.
I pinged an e-mail this morning asking for an update and, surprisingly, they answered back relatively promptly. Soz, had to ship from overseas so expect in 7-14 days.
Great, I leave the UK for good* next Tuesday. If it's not here I've lost the battery, but they claim it's shipped so I can do f'all at the moment. I could order another battery but what do I want to do that for except for the three days a year when the extra juice of swapping batteries would be useful.
Vilmos is a tad annoyed!
* For a given value of 'good'. We are moving, but I may well be back regularly for work.

Luckily no, we were offered Washington DC, but chose another continent all together!
The info on booze is 'interesting':
[They] produces a selection of wine (not in big volume in more) and also beer. However, [it] is a Muslim country, and you do not find alcohol sold everywhere, you have to know where to find it. Wine and alcoholic drinks are sold in the few bar restaurants in the big cities, high end hotels, and night clubs. Some bar restaurants can be found in nice parks, so if you are in a nice wooded park, look for the restaurants. The fast food restaurants open and affordable to the public do not sell beer, and the coffee shops do not sell alcohol. If you visit [the capital] or coastal cities, there are fish restaurants in almost every fishing port, the fishing is traditional and the fish sold is very fresh; usually, these restaurants sell alcohol but you have to ask (do not expect to see it, sometimes it is on the menu, sometimes not). Finally, you can buy your own bottle of [their] wine to take home in discrete shops that sell alcoholic drinks. It is better to buy it at the [NOT HERE] airport. In smaller towns, buying alcohol can be challenging; you usually find them at the edge of the towns in sketchy areas and the conditions in which the alcohol was kept is sometimes questionable. Some Muslims drink but they consider it a sin. Brown-bagging of alcohol is very common as you are not expected to publicly display those beverages in the streets. Consumption of drinks is social but private, thus it mostly occurs only indoors or in remote areas. If someone invites you into his home and does not offer alcohol, he expects you not to be drunk or smell alcohol, and does not expect you to bring your own bottle or even discuss drinking alcohol in front of his wife and kids.

You could always setup a mail redirection with the Post Office to [REDACTED1] and see if that works?

Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

Actually, I'll get it redirected to my parents [what live around the corner] and they can send it on to me in Hungaria where I'll be for August. If it doesn't arrive in time, I'll then need another redirection to [REDACTED]
