I don't know how it is for multimedia applications, but at least for programming, there are usually free e-books for you to read, which can be better for you, if you prefer reading. If not, there's always quite a few videos on YouTube for everything.

Pretty much any game which I can play for a while. Something multiplayer and/or strategy-like is very nice, although I'm not really a fan of those long-term "build your city and wait a long time and upgrade" games.

I found it particularly interesting that he is that honest; he doesn't care whether he is being rude or if he is offending the one he's talking to. Reading at the end, I partly found it sounding kinda egoistic and rude to the author that he told him that he didn't consider them friends nor would he miss him. On the other side of it, though, I found it very intriguing that he did reply like that as well, avoiding the lies and true meanings behind the curtains of nicer words.

When I was flying with Norwegian, I couldn't use their Internet service at all. That might've changed, though, as that was pretty soon after they introduced Internet on their flights.

In addition, you should check out the comic itself, which is set in a post-apocalyptic world in which the Nordic countries have survived. The comic does a good job on showing similarities between the Scandinavian languages, and its differences. In addition, we have Finnish as a bit of a lone wolf.
