4045348048198 – 500 Sheets A4 80 GSM 4 Hole Punched White Multiuse – MERCATEO.nl
Posted by jpluimers on 2019/07/22
This is about half of what Staples itself charges: [WayBack] Staples Multiuse Multifunctioneel Papier voor Laser en Inkjet, A4 80 g/m² Wit | Staples®
Amazon.de sells it too, but it does not ship to The Netherlands: [Archive.is] STAPLES Multifunktionspapier multiuse, A4, 80 g/m², 4fach Lochung, weiß (500 Blatt): AmazonSmile: Bürobedarf & Schreibwaren
There is the same from Xerox: [WayBack] Kopierpapier Business weiß 4x gelocht 80g/qm A4 VE=500 Blatt bei Mercateo günstig kaufen also available on Amazon.de: [Archive.is] Xerox Business 003R91823 Multifunktionspapier 80 g/m² 4-fach gelocht 500 Blatt pro Ries Format A4 1 Ries weiß: AmazonSmile: Bürobedarf & Schreibwaren
However, the Xerox 003R91823 from Amazon is just ONE pack, not 5 packs!
Edit 20210314
Easier to find this in The Netherlands with this phrase: [Wayback] a4 papier 4gt – Google Search

RP-SMA dummy loads for nonadjustable WiFi devices and Adjust Fritz!Box WiFi power – via Knowledge Base | AVM International
Posted by jpluimers on 2019/07/19
Via [WayBack] Knowledge Base | AVM International:
3 Setting the maximum transmitter power
- Click “Wireless” (“WLAN”) in the FRITZ!Box user interface.
- Click “Radio Channel” in the “Wireless” (“WLAN”) menu.
- If the option “Set radio channel settings automatically (recommended)” is enabled, proceed with the following section.
- If the option “Adjust radio channel settings” is enabled:
- Click “Additional settings”.
- Select “100%” from the drop-down list “Maximum transmitter power”.
- Click “Apply” to save the settings.
For me, having minimal power was important since every now I needed to be able to connect to it, but only when I was in close proximity.
Hence the settings below: 6% Maximum transmit power is the lowest I could set.
For devices that cannot adjust their antenna output power which have RP-SMA connectors, I bought these to effectively throttle them:

Many words to use instead of “very” in English – ESL Buzz, ProofReadingServices
Posted by jpluimers on 2019/07/19
Speaking English as second language often makes me search for accurate words. I’ve noticed that even a lot of native English speakers use “very” too often as usually better words exist.
These two pages have lots of replacements of “very …” combinations into a single word, with infographics and even poster size materials:
- [WayBack] 100+ Words to Use Instead of “VERY” in English – ESL Buzz
- [WayBack] 128 Words to Use Instead of “Very”
Found after searching the source of [WayBack] Try these words in your next Email – I’m Programmer.
Deciding which replacement to use, or to stay with “very” depends on who you are communicating with, as the counter example at [WayBack] Communicating Compassionately with Non-Native English Speakers; Taming the Steamroller – Molly Clare Wilson – Medium shows (thanks Kristian Köhntopp for attending me to that).

How to support full Unicode in MySQL databases · Mathias Bynens

TL;DR: use the MySQL utf8mb4 character set and convert any MySQL utf8 character set as those are not UTF-8.

PowerShell: Format-Table to show all columns/members
Posted by jpluimers on 2019/07/18
I’m not even sure if I’ve posted this before, but I always forget how to show all members (or columns) using Format-Table.
It’s dead easy: -Property *
Get-ChildItem | Format-Table -Property *
Later I found out this is equivalent with the shorter version where you omit the -Property part which I wrote about in [WayBack] PowerShell: when Format-Table -AutoSize displays only 10 columns and uses the width of the console when redirecting to file.
So you can shorten the above to:
Get-ChildItem | Format-Table *
It has way more columns than this:
Get-ChildItem | Format-Table
The extra members in both marked with *:
PSPathPSParentPathPSChildNamePSDrivePSProviderPSIsContainerBaseNameMode*Name*FullNameParentExistsRootExtensionCreationTimeCreationTimeUtcLastAccessTimeLastAccessTimeUtcLastWriteTime*LastWriteTimeUtcAttributes
The odd thing: one property fails in the -Property * table:
Length
I tracked this down to how -Property * works: it takes the first entry in the list. If that is not a file, then it has no Length property: [WayBack] powershell – Measure-Object : The property “length” cannot be found in the input for any objects – Stack Overflow.
Note that for a GUI version, you can replace Format-Table with Out-GridView. See
