It is not practical to create a subdirectory to compress just one file. But if there are more than 3 files, they should definitely be in a subdirectory.

Huh? The only way we can get TiVo in Sweden is with an all-inclusive package (DVR, EPG, DVB-C, and streaming) from $20/month (18 SD + 3 HD channels) to $44/month (57 SD + 29 HD channels). Netflix places somewhere inbetween content-wise, but is cheaper at just $10/month. To include some hardware, add a $250 HTPC (e.g. mITX Athlon 5350) and amortize it over 24 months, or a smart TV (e.g. LG 43LH570V) over 48 months.

We have a 7-day EPG over the air in DVB-T, and some TV models can record to USB hard disks and flash drives, so you could theoretically just watch the 8 free-to-air channels, and just pay the $20/month TV license (if that). Getting additional channels over DVB-T (or a competing cable network) would cost the same as TiVo.

If you actually want something to watch for cheap, Netflix wins. And if you skip the TV, no license is needed. Many Swedish millennials stream everything on their laptops (or smartphones).

Hmm, speaking of complexity, and the long hours associated with the IT work sector, couldn't it just be that the gals realise that law and medicine are just as complex and demanding professions, but they pay much better, and there is still prestige in them?
