@hazardwarning Indeed. The past few days it has been around +30°C with practically no wind at all. Today it’s ”only” +26° and there’s a lovely breeze. A lot more tolerable. ?

Today’s not as hot as the previous few days. I will take the kids to the park in the afternoon. First I need to feed them, prepare the dinner (it’s not even noon yet, but I like to have it ready so that I don’t need to make it when we get back), and do the laundry. Busy life for someone who is on vacation.
@hazardwarning I don’t know, and they probably won’t tell my wife about the details if they have one. It’s July, everyone in the Nordics is on vacation, so no big harm if it takes some time to fix things.
@matigo She will be paid, yes. She can handle some work via phone, so there’s that. On the other hand, there isn’t much work to do in July in the first place. Her job is mainly to be there in case something needs to be done.
My wife is working for a multinational corporation. Their corporate network went down yesterday afternoon. Because all her work basically requires online tools she hasn’t been able to do actual work since yesterday. In the mean time she has been writing her thesis.
The reason for the network issue is a grass/forest fire close to a corporate data center in Sweden. The fire has fried the cables in the ground, and the fire is still going on. That means they will not have functioning network for a while…
@paulh Welcome! It will be an interesting ride, I assure you. ?

@peemee Yeah, maxed-out machines have big differences, but I won’t be buying/wanting such. I will cope with a less powerful machine. The time I will spend the machine to do its work will be due to the inefficient process (JVM, Android Studio, etc.) and not because of slow hardware.

@matigo I have coped just fine with 16 GB. Then again, I am not running any resource hungry applications (except Android Studio) like many others. And on those occasions the OS has started compressing stuff in RAM (whatever the solution was called, can’t remember anymore) the system has worked perfectly.
But I do acknowledge that different people have different needs. Should I ever need that 32 GB of RAM, I would obviously buy the 15” model.
@matigo Thanks for reminding me. I have had my work laptop for 3 years in the end of August (when I joined the company) that means I get a new laptop then. I will be going with the 13” MBP, mostly due to easier portability. There is no such big difference between the 13” and 15” models that I would need the 15” model.
