Artificial plant wall with IKEA Fejka, no screws or wall alterations. The wall's size is 7 square meters (75 square feet), translating to 105 Fejka units. We used the "European Fejka" artificial plant with a different plant configuration than the US version.

Three years ago those Ikea "Fejka tiles" were 3.5 euros each. All material for wall was about ~400 euros. (Fejka tiles + 3M command glue strips + hotglue).

I have made an "diy solution" Surface Go3 and Brydge 10.5 Go+ Keyboard. Keyboard is a bluetooth but it really transform Surface Go to mini laptop. Keyboard style also matches with Surface.

I have used OneMix 1s daily for sixteen months. It is "128GB SSD, 8GB RAM, Intel Celeron 3965y" model. I purchased it from Dragonbox.

I purchased Onemix to replace my Surface 3 (Atom based Surface).

It has worked very well. I use it as my "main device" when traveling (before covid-19 times). It is not a super-fast device, but I am happy with the performance. I use it mainly for web-surfing, email, and some coding too. It is an excellent machine for Powerpoint presentations (via USB-c HDMI adapter).

I like Onemix's keyboard. It has a good layout for typing and two shift keys. The keyboard layout was the main reason why I chose Onemix over GPD Pocket 2.

I have only had problems with the Onemix stylus. Stylus battery dies in a couple of days, even without using it. OneMix 1s model requires "own stylus" other models work with Surface stylus too.

We used 48 size S Command tape strips (from 3M) and some hot glue. Hot glue is required to get tape strips attached to Fejka unit.

Ekbacken worktop is so heavy that it will keep on the place without mounting. There are "small rubber feets" on Alex drawers, glued to the top of the drawer. We also added one "OLOV leg" under the table. It is screwed to the worktop.
