First proper visit to these forums since ... mid-to-late march, judging by my posting history. Found 34 notifications waiting for me, yet discovered that the forums will only display 18 (unless there's some hidden "page 2" button I haven't found). Definitely losing track of some watched threads due to this. Oh well.
Have been in Malmö, Sweden for about two and a half months now, and I'm really liking it here - and not just because unlike Norway there isn't a total shutdown of society here right now. The city is really nice, the weather is amazing compared to what I'm used to (there was a hailstorm at my parents' place yesterday!), and there's plenty to see and do. There's even a well stocked computer store a nice 15 minute walk away! It's nice enough here that the two of us have managed to live relatively comfortably (without going insane!) in what was supposed to be a very short-term tiny apartment (around 35m2, 1-room) even with social distancing and working from home. While I am definitely having some desktop PC withdrawal symptoms, the OptiplRX 570 has been tiding me over fine, and will continue to do so until we can move into the apartment we just bought. Oh, yeah, I guess that's something I've done recently (if not today)! First time owning rather than renting, which is definitely a change. The mortgage is a bit scary, but cheaper than renting. And the apartment is really nice. The home office is going to kick butt, which is great given that I'll be working from there for at least the majority of the next three years. And I'm no longer on sick leave, and even if effectively restarting my work on my thesis is daunting and borderline terrifying it also feels so damn good.
Beyond that, I hope everyone here is doing okay with everything going on in the world right now.
Looks like for upgrades, it's ITX Navi or bust.
