-A^ series for Apple processors.
 
Its like Samsung can't lose in the smartphone industry.

Inciting flame wars is NOT a good way to start off your career here. AMD has competitive gear and does have, and has had some power efficient hardware today and in the past. Fanboys are the scum of the world.
 
I've never seen any quality reports on the 390X being stock water cooled, and tonga is already fairly power efficient, far better than hawaii. So that part is just fanboy shit you see on the internet. AMD for almost it's entire life has traded blows with nvidia for graphics horsepower, the 295x2 still being the fastest single-card solution in the world for gaming in 95% of games. The cpu side of things amd could improve, yes. But amd also is lightyears ahead of intel in terms of integrated graphics, being magnitudes better. Both intel and nvidia can learn a lot of amd, as amd can learn a lot from them.

could still use it to boil water

When you walk around with a copy of Ubuntu in your bag, just in case.

There are several avenues available to you.
 
1. As @Godlygamer23 says, you can build PC's for other people and charge a nominal fee (I suggest no more than $50 a build, as they can get it done for that much at a computer store which will give them a 1-year warranty).
 
2. Tech Support for friends and family - this can include things like Upgrading OS's, fixing viruses, performing spring cleaning and/or maintenance to speed up their slow-ass computers, etc.
 
3. Learn HTML + CSS and build simple websites (Alternatively, learn to use WordPress or some other CMS platform to build interactive websites based on templates).
 
4. Building or designing home or small office networks.
 
There are other options as well. I suggest learning some programming, like C# or HTML + CSS. Learn Networking as well, as it's pretty important for most tech careers later on.

A stylus eh? everyone seems to be jumping on that bandwagon after Samsung, Maybe Sony will call theirs the X Pen?
 

i understand what you're saying, but with online games the experience is not the same, even if everything is, i mean i know this is hard to explain but remember bf4 on launch, reviews were good about it because everything worked but you got it and you had to dealt with a plethora of bugs, bad connections and shitty servers, which hinders a lot the experience, and those problems affect everything, gunplay that on lan felt good, could be atrocious online, in the case with the crew playing on private could be equal to having amazing races, with responsive cars and systems, but what if online due to bugs and server issues all that goes to shit, driving could feel sluggish, and races be a lag fest with excessive rubberbanding, even though the mechanics are the same, online impacts everything, even in the case of having a feeling for the core mechanics, also this game got public betas, NDA free so if you want to know how it played on that moment you can look those, it might not be the same to retail but is a good place to start

Come on, Ubisoft.

i think im not the only one that hates the SAT's. i dont understand how i can get an average score when a completely stupid person can get something like a 2000. the test is very long and tedious and the terminology on some sections are out of this world.
 
im applying to a university and they are coming to my school to interview students and let them know whether they get accepted or not on sight.  my guidance counselor told me to send my scores in. i asked if they get mailed in. and he replied that its all electronic (like sending Email). so then i go through menus and layers to finally get my scores that i payed $50 fucks to get. then i have to send them in ELECTRONICALLY. which also costs $11.25. then i also get the message saying that it is sent within 1-2 weeks. FOR A FRIGGIN ELECTRONIC THING. my interview date is in 9 days (thank god i didnt procrastinate to do something that i thought was as instant as email, to send) and i dont know if it will get to my college in time or not. let alone not knowing how long the university takes in order to process such a thing. 
 
i also dont get what the point of such a test is, the testing is bogus. we are all about capitalism but this is basically a money whore monopoly on something we dont actually need. my grades are good enough for me to get into this university but if i fuck up on this stupid test i have a high chance of not getting accepted. also my college doesnt even require the SAT if have graduated high school 2 years ago. i also dont understand their grading methods, its all very confusing on how the math section is graded or the no point rules for student works sections. then we also find out that after 2 years it wont be required by colleges as it is now. like wtf is wrong with these people. i do understand that millions of students apply for college and seats may not always be available. but this is no way to go about doing such a thing.

When you can casually name most PC parts and useful software without even having to think about it.

You check the specs of every computer that you go on, no matter where or what it is.
