This Automower 435X AWD is an upgrade from my 330X, See review here.
Overall: 9/10. Hardware: Fine. Software: Improved, still unpolished!
This is both a continuation of the previous Automowers and a fundamentally different approach

Diagonal to width, simple fractions. Different aspect ratios
Obviously it is easy to calculate the diagonal of e.g. a sensor from the width and height with Pythagoras.
And a bit more tedious the other way round using the aspect ratio. [*]
But for common aspect ratios it is even simpler, 1+1/n fractions within less than 0.4%

OralB Io 9s, mini review
The OralB Io 9s does a really good job, and the idea behind the app is great, connecting stinks though, and the case is trash.
Save and restore positions of windows, WindowsPosSaveNRestore
WindowsPosSaveNRestore is a tool to save the position of windows for later restore
This is primarily useful if you frequently change display configuration, say add/remove external monitor(s) e.g. by docking, or turning a device with autorotate active.
Windows also has the bug that it sometimes cram all open windows (and icons [+]) on the primary screen on sleep.

Easy inexpensive chemical free fix for smelly microfibre cloths
Microfibre cloths are nice, but get sour and smelly, even after a machine wash. (same goes for or any other plastic cloths)
They usually smell fine directly from the machine, but soon after they get wet they stink again…
This is easily fixed by a microwave oven!

Disqus-comments, formatting
Here Is a small guide in Disqus-formatting, that I have ‘published’ several times on the old GSMArena.com blog (with tiny variation).

Phillips BDM4350UC. Mini review. An even greater monitor…
This 42.51″ IPS has substantially better viewing angles used close than its 40″ VA predecessor, but poorer blacks, otherwise much the same.

Displaying images. Colour management, sRGB and ICC. And when something fails.
Update This post started as description of a problem with displaying some files in FireFox and Chrome, but has been transformed to a more general post about sRGB, ICC, CMS and what happens if the browser gets it wrong…
It all started when I detected that most colours in some web-files got severely distorted when displayed in FireFox and Chrome on my system. Both JPG and PNG files were affected
If you see the first one of these two squares 
and 
substantially different from the second clear blue, your CMS system have similar issues…
The first one is supposed to be a standard blue, the second is blue LEDs on your monitor only.

Stand-alone QWERTY keyboards for phones…

PhotoView with Delete&Transfer of matched files, e.g. RAW
This is a plain PhotoViewer with just TWO special function:
The ability to show more EXIF info than most and to delete or transfer matching partner files on request also, according to user defined masks.
E.g. Also handle RAW or cropped variant of a file named with predefined syntax.
Settings for position, size, splitter positions, last used folders… can be saved in users registry.
Download zip: PhotoView.Zip
This is a ‘work in progress’, so expect bugs might be present, and that things can still change quite a bit. (Last modified 2018-09-30)

How to wait upgrading to Win10
If you do not want to be a first mover installing Win10, then this link have the recipe to delay it
(A few windows update should be uninstalled if already installed, and then hidden until you want them)
Principal ideas for smarter image sensor technology
Currently the limitation in the amount of photons that can be caught versus the noise, set a limit for the dynamic range.
But what if the sensor output could not be over saturated?

Automower 330X, Husqvarna, Review
This Automower 330X is an upgrade from my 230ACX, See review here.
Overall: Really satisfied. 9+/10, after software ‘update’: 7+/10
It is rather similar to the 230ACX with some important upgrades, and a few step backs
Phillips BDM4065UC, Mini review.
About two months ago I bought a great monitor
And I do mean great in more than one sense!
The short conclusion is that I can warmly recommend it.

It has handled my highly sloped 1000m² lawn for seven full seasons, with some minor repairs outside the warranty along the way.
Central entry point on batteries
(at least this is my intention on how it should end and be used)
It should give info about batteries, how the phone uses them, and (hopefully) with some good hints to how to get the most out of each battery (Life and Stamina). Many of the hints go for other hardware with Li-Ion batteries as well. Say Laptops, Toothbrushes…..
This thread is originated from SonyEricssons Xperia phones.

Summary
On problems with weird drops and raises: Try “Johan’s Trick” below once
The currently best advice I can give for the usage pattern is
● Try to charge fully and deplete to about 40-50%bc
● Once in a while drain battery deep to get calibration right
● Keep phone on desk/in bag, avoid pockets, to keep cool.
● Leave phone idle while charging (e.g. while sleeping).
Note that the ‘remaining percentage’ you see is an ESTIMATE not a measurement!
