Thank you both !! I will try seek. I'm currently 3rd year computer science so I'm still studying, but if I plan to move, it'll be after I finish my degree so I'll have a license in CS by then and I'll upload my CV.
 
I like software development, I'll search for that.
 
And for the location, it depends on my gf, as long as it's close to her, it's fine. 
 
And dd, I have 2mbps down speeds in lebanon so anything above that is a dream come true to me

A lot of assumptions being made here.
We don't take money to do reviews. We never have.
We take money to do advertisements, which are never labeled as reviews.
NVIDIA provided the graphics cards (and Cooler Master sent cases and coolers, ASUS sent motherboards, Intel sent CPUs, Kingston sent SSDs and RAM, Swiftech sent water cooling gear) for our editing workstations for product placement in the whole room water cooling series of videos we produced featuring this hardware extensively.
In the grand scheme of things, $6000 of graphics cards (don't imagine that's their BOM cost on them either) is a great deal for 1-2M impressions on a series of videos about using them.. but those videos were NOT a review. They were about a clearly sponsored (we said it was more than once) outrageous project.
As for sending "keeper" vs "loaner" units of hardware, yeah for many products we just don't do loaners anymore, but more than anything else this is to do with me not feeling like it's worth my time to play email tag for shipping labels and spend an hour driving to FedEX and filling out stupid international bill of landing and commercial invoice nonsense over like a $100 item that costs more to send back than to just not bother with anyway.
That and quite frankly even a negative review (for some reason) often generates a lot of sales for the manufacturer.. so as far as I'm concerned they can eat the cost of the item and I'll do whatever I want with it when we're done reviewing it - whether that's continuing to use it personally (Pebble Steel and iPhone 6 come to mind) - or re-visiting it only when we need to re-do our comparative numbers (here's a lesson on why this is necessary and we can't just re-use old numbers)
And on the subject of the Pebble and iPhone 6 - these are both items that were NOT provided by the manufacturer. One was purchased for my own use and the other was provided by a separate sponsor who makes skins for phones (dBrand), but I didn't necessarily mention this at the time because who cares? It doesn't colour my impressions of the device.
Here's an item I wasn't allowed to keep and won one of the two editor's choice awards I've ever given out: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s1uj6wQTu58
Here's an item was allowed to keep that I ripped apart saying it was worse across the board than the two similar products from other manufacturers that I compared it against: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-O1aCNrjV64
Here's an item I was allowed to keep that I basically ripped apart on camera and sent it back anyway because it had so little value to me I didn't even want to give it to a friend: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c3AgcltUM9s
And I could do this all day..
You may notice that most of the items we review we are fairly positive about. There is a reason for this, and it has nothing to do with being paid to review it.
I don't generally bother to review stuff that I already know is stupid junk.
The bottom line is this. You can either trust me or not trust me. Ultimately that's your deal. My job is to do what I do, and the people who recognize it for what it is - my opinion being given to you - will follow, and the others can go find someone who maybe they think "hasn't sold out" but might just "happen to agree with them" to listen to. Enjoy.

I beg to differ
 

Technically, everything is natural.

/stands on top of soap box
 
There is nothing intrinsically "good" or "better" about something being natural.
 
GMO crops?  A-O-K unless someone shows a specific harm, it's not bad because it's not "natural"
Artificial chemicals in foods?  Bad?  Depends on what those chemicals do.
 
 
But stop claiming that because something was produced naturally it is better for you.
 
If I get a cut on my finger, it's a hell of a lot better for me to rub that unnatural substance called neosporin on it than natural poison ivy.  
 
Understand?
 
 
If you disagree, post below and I will answer later on.

Berkel has said he was born in Canada I am pretty sure in previous videos. But no he is not an Australian, also that's kinda a piss poor attempt at an accent, amusing however.

Edzel and Brandon should have their own periodic shows on the channel. For example Edzel can do Peripherals and Brandon can do Cameras and stuff. Post your opinions below.

Black and white, fat and hairy are obviously traits of the best cats! They're setting unrealistic cat goals.

It really depends what your aim is. If it's simply for preventing soil erosion then sure. What kind of plants and the process of how they would be planted will vary depending on where you are planting them.

A US-based company, BioCarbon Engineering, is planning to fight the global problem of deforestation using drones to plant "one billion trees at a time".
Currently the rate of deforestation is completely unsustainable and impacting our environment in many ways including the widespread decline in species biodiversity, land degradation, soil erosion and potentially even the spread of harmful diseases such as Ebola.

They plan to plant up to 36,000 trees a day at around 15 percent of the cost of traditional methods. 

Science Alert did a good little overview of the project (they also share a lot of not very sound science so don't read all their articles as gospel):

Pretty cool. This could address something that isn't being addressed right now, which is the lack of necessary environmental restoration programs.

They should crowdfund this too.  "Fund a forest drone."  Sounds fun!

I can't seem to find a way to share their unlisted YouTube video that gives an overview of the process of how they plan to carry out the planting. 

If you're interested you can find the link on their website under the Services heading where they state "View the system here".

I think it's exciting that so many different fields are utilising drones for such a huge variety of different applications. Ecologists have been using drones for quite some time to do population estimates from the air.

I'm not exactly sure how they will carry it out as they'd need enough pressure to get the seed pod deep enough into the ground. I do think it's a pretty cool idea though

Above people: *concerned about AMD sponsoring the PC Gaming Show*
Me: "Woot, PC gamin4lyfe!"

I finally joined Waited until I had finished building my new PC because my old PC was struggling. 
I work in research for a uni so I'll probably set it up at work as well

do a mild oc, i just got a few failed wu because of a highly oc'd gpu. We want the calculations to be right not fast, just like we do in traditional research. Glhf

I'm not sure why but I've just ordered one.
 
Seems rude not to.

She's also broken into their cars and replaced their horns with quacking sounds.

god I hope not. Twitter is trash. Most the issues that genuinely need tech support are more involved than 140 chars allows.

Response time and latency

Do you need a 5 ms response time or less for gaming?

Dynamic Contrast Ratio (DCR) – 1,000,000:1+ "Contrast Ratios" are Just Made-up Numbers

"You can't get audio through a DVI port!"

Isn't HDMI limited to 60 Hz?

"Humans can't see more than 60 Hz anyway!"

"Why are there TVs at 600+ Hz when monitors don't go beyond ≈144 Hz?"

"Does 1920×1080 scale perfectly on 3840×2160 (4K UHD) monitors? What exactly happens when you run a non-native resolution on a display?"

Does DisplayPort Adaptive-Sync/AMD FreeSync require a new monitor or will existing monitors be upgradeable with just a firmware update?
Also, if a monitor has DisplayPort 1.2a input or higher, does that automatically mean it supports DisplayPort Adaptive-Sync?
