Installing Ubuntu 14.04 LTS to Wyse Z90D7 Windows Terminal

I recently posted how to update Wyze Z90D7 to latest available Windows firmware. Which is far from usable. Let's see how Ubuntu works on this hardware. Actual flavour I picked is Lubuntu, but hardware support should be same for all. TL;DR: What a piece of shit this is, don't waste your time just toss it to bin already.

Crossflashing Huawei B593s-22 from Sonera to Elisa firmware

My B593s had ancient Sonera branded firmware that has DNS issues when IPv6 is active. At least IPv6 reverse queries stall causing long delays. There's some rumors going that Sonera provides updated firmware over-the-air, but I couldn't trigger update despite trying hard. Might be because I was using Elisa SIM card. Since Elisa does have fairly recent firmware available for download I thought why not use Elisa firmware instead - get IPv6 bug fixed, have correct operator settings as default and also future updates should work without extra hacks.

"New Skype Meeting" option missing from Outlook 2013 calendar

Clean Windows 7 install with latest Office 2013 from Office 365 and latest Skype for Business 2015 (The Application Formerly Known As Lync) also from Office 365. Problem is that "New Skype Meeting" option is missing from Outlook calendar options. There's just empty space where ribbon bar button should be.
