  USA, 3: Epic and local IT industry excursions

  This post is about our first excursion with the international student group to see Epic System's HQ. During the first days, I also walked around the town a bit in search of wall plug adapters and accidentally made contact with the local IT industry. Getting my weird EU tech working in the States I took some tech with me to the States - namely a laptop, its dock, and a couple of mobile phones.

  Fixing Lenovo T460S Wifi connectivity issues (removing the evil versions of Intel Dual Bank Wireless-AC 8260 driver)

  I recently received a new work laptop - Lenovo T460S. A cute little thing with impressive performance and reasonably good battery life. However, what people frequently complain about online in regards to this laptop, is its absolutely, horribly awful wifi. This, in turn, is probably caused by its bad wifi chip, Intel Dual Band Wireless-AC 8260. And they're right - it's a load of crap.

  Getting Connect-MsolService (and other Azure Active Directory PowerShell cmdlets) to work

  In this post, I'll try to archive everything that you need to download and install to get commandlets like Connect-MsolService working. I've had to do it a couple of times when changing laptops, so it's good to document them somewhere! :) So, when would you need to follow this guide and install the modules described here?

  USA, 1: Initial Thoughts

  I'm staying in the United States of America for the first 6 months of 2017 for both work and leisure. In case you'd need to contact me during that time, that's doable by normal means (Twitter/email). Just the timeframe's a tad different due to my location being 8 hours from Finland (-6 UTC time zone). This blog post kind of sets the initial mood and expectations for the trip.
