    Sounds like you need a KVM switch.  Just gogole that term.

    You need a KVM switch. You would plug your monitor, keyboard, and mouse to the KVM switch, and your PC and laptop the the KVM switch. You will be free to flip between them with the switch.

    DSLR should be fine in winter. You can leave them outside for a while till it reach ambient before using it.
    Some component will be affected by the cold. Screen will be less responsive and battery will discharge faster. Use viewfinder and bring more spare battery.
    Get a pair of gloves that is easy for you to operate the camera while also protect you from the cold.
    Snow is highly reflective. Configure white balance and exposure to compensate for that.
    When done shooting, put the camera in a dry chamber or plastic bag to slowly warm up to room temperature. There will be a few droplets but they will evaporate eventually.
    One last off topic thing, a DSLR on a snowboarding trip? Shouldn't that be suiting case for an action camera, like a GoPro?

    Remember that cold temperatures can greatly reduce battery life. Also, reflection of the sun off snow can make it very bright.

    Sebastian Kurpiel reacted to xdeathshot20 in Replace the glass on a macbook pro retina   
    so i work at a place that does these types of repairs and when we get broken macbook screens in, we just replace the entire screen with panel because it is more cost effective to do it that way rather then to try and seperate the glass from the lcd.  if you do it that way, 90% chance the lcd will get damaged in the process.  its the same with most phones today

    If you're on the battery often, then I don't think even a Macbook would help. Performance tends to suffer across the board when you go on the battery.

    I was just going to run if off my laptop that has an i7 and 970, that should be fine, right? The laptop has a 4k screen so I feel that it should handle 1080p or 3k gaming. I stopped playing competitive games and moved to RPGs like the Witcher and Nier, Destiny 2 shouldn't be a problem with a tv, right?

    Sebastian Kurpiel reacted to Spudbilly in Would this be a good small factor pc for the price?   
    In a way your right, but an ssd is visibly faster to even people who don't care. I gave my old ssd to the father in law. He initially said to just leave it cause it did not matter. Now he says he can't go back to anything less. 
     
    So keep the ssd, but you could probably find a little better price. 
     
    I also would go for 2 dimms for 8gb total. Seems like overkill now, but it won't 5 years from now. That is coming from someone who's laptop has 4gb of ddr2. It just is not quite enough. 
     
    Otherwise, it will be a great system.

    Sebastian Kurpiel reacted to GoodBytes in Software Engineer Intern Resume.   
    You can put these at the top of your resume, or next to the project that you are presenting (see example above in my updated post)
     
    If you want MY opinion as an engineer.
    I don't care if you failed half your classes or you got all A's everywhere with Honorary Degree. In fact, I MIGHT prefer someone who failed his/her classes, if he/she has many interested personal projects to compensate, especially if I find them of impressive quality when I'll try them. UNLESS, I am looking for a researcher, where I seek someone with deep understanding of theory, and ready to do academic style research for seeking new software technologies/algorithms to do things. THAT SAID: When I say "I don't care if you failed half your classes", I might ask you questions related to important topics that I see that you have done the class (and passed), to see if you end up getting it. And if you got A's everywhere, I'll ask you, still, questions (no free pass), because it is easy to find past exams, learn by heart the answers, and arrive at the exam and do it, and get an A.
      I want to see your passion, "fire in your eyes", when I read your resume and when I see you at the interview. Thinking outside the box is also a bonus (unique project, or unique approach). I also need to see some relation to where you apply: For example: You want to develop a game if you apply at a game company.
      If I was doing an interview, I will asked programming questions to do on the white board. I'll start with a stupid question (this is more for you to relax, and get used to the white board code writing), then ask you a question to evaluate that you don't B.S on your resume. Example, you say: "I know C#", well I want to see if you really do. Or if you say: "I am an expert in C++", so I'll ask you expert level C++ questions. Then I'll ask a common, 'everyday problem' we/most people face and/or algorithmic related question. As a Junior or bellow, I don't expect you to get the algorithm question right, or close to right, but i want to see how you think. I'll be seeking: What ideas do you bring on the table? Are you pushing the envelop or you just interested in getting a solution, write it down and call it a day? and Are you asking the right questions to solve the problem? For this algorithmic question, I would not ask a specific language (already done with the previous question), I'll say: pick your language or use pseudo code (assuming there is coding involved). As mentioned, the purpose of this algorithmic question is to see your thought process. You may be asked questions on your implementation to see if you really know the solution, or it just happened you learned it by heart before by your luck.
      I'll evaluate you on your questions, when I'll ask: "if you have any questions for me". Note: The above applies today. My interview process changes over time for various reasons (for example: discovered that not the right questions asks, which results in a poor candidate selection, new interview processes discovered, company policies, time for the interview, resume of candidate, etc.) Also, it depends on where I work. For example, if I worked in a company that likes to train its new employees with its own system, where you actually do classes and have an exam at a later date before actually starting, then what I mentioned above will definitely change. I'll be seeking you candidate with good grades. And things like that/
     
    Note 2: I am talking about Canada. In the US, for example, they has different laws which prohibits asking certain interview questions, so the format will/may be different.
     
    Note 3: This is ME, MY opinion. Every company and every engineer will have its own format to do things, and its own way to evaluate candidates.

    Normally, I'd say QC35 IF ANC is a big factor, audio is rather meh though.....but, as of late, I've heard good things about the MDR-1000X. According to my friend (ANC's more his thing) the MDR-1000X has comparable ANC to the Bose but with better audio reproduction. Though I ain't looking for any ANC can, I'll admit I'm curious about the Sony MDR-1000X, gonna try to find some spare time to audition it......too busy now as it's year end.

    To the OP - Bose makes the best ANC headphones in terms of sound quality and ANC quality. If they are within budget I would definitely recommend them.

    If the priority is audio quality, the QC35 would not be the best choice.  They sound okay with ANC on, but without ANC and digital processing they just sound like ass.  Momentum Wireless or Sony MDR-1000x are better sounding options for that price.

    Count should start at 0 rather than 1. If you have NULL as the head, you'll have a list size of 1 which doesn't make sense.

    Nah, this is a wrong assumption. Way more things factoring in then only core count and clockspeed. You can't say that at same clockspeeds the performance is the same.
     
    For OP: it's best to have a solid base to work from and since you currently already manage for a while with the 280x suggest you upgrade CPU first. Pick something good there like the 6700k can get you several years and possible GPU upgrades further.
