^ this. I have made the mistake(several times) to buy something without researching the product properly, using a single source of information or just get it on a whim with the reason "I NEED IT FOR... stuff" and actually not needing it afterwards.

Can this be an idea for a youtube video - full case decals?

Some info before the story itself - before going to university I saved some money and bought myself an Aspire laptop(i5 540m, GTX 540m, 6 GB DDR3(upgraded from 3GB, still don't know who had the bright idea to combine 2GB and 1GB sticks) and 5400rpm hdd). It is a good mid to low end machine, which I used as my main rig for 3-4 years. After starting my first job I bought myself my current PC and a year later - a G751, so I decided to send the old Aspire to my parents to use(the thing still works). So a friend family went to visit my parents. They have a kid, which is 12-13 years old. My parents gave him the laptop and after 10 minutes a shout came from the room: - Wow, this is a gaming laptop, isn't it? - Why do you think so? - asked my father. - It's red and is so fast... P.S. I'm curious how will he react to something with ssd in it

^ this - for example I plan only to upgrade my VGA next year.

The type-C supports non-USB protocols(like HDMI, Thunderbolt, display port and so on), which can be added for use via the type-c.

It's a new USB standard(USB 3.1 to be exact) and it's backward compatible internally(logically and hardware-wise) with older USB standards, but you need an adapter so you could plug in older USB devices(like you need a Micro USB to USB adapter(cable) so you could plug your phone/tablet(android ones) to a computer or type-a to type-b one to connect your printer to your computer).

I love spaghetti from dongles. As I wrote in another topic - I need at least 2-3 dongles just for the stuff I would do with any of the Pros or change my DSLR, drawing tablet, external hard/thumb drives and mouse(it's nightmare to try to code with a touchpad). P.S. I forgot to mention connecting to projectors(not mine - at university).

Sooo I was interested to go deeper in the Apple ecosystem, but there's something, that broke that - what happened with the I/O? I know, that type C is the future, but now if I buy any of the Pros I have to buy several dongles(Type C -> SD reader(or a second Type A dongle and a reader combo), Type C -> Type A, Type C -> HDMI/VGA(hate old projectors)). I thought - well, I want to travel around with my DSLR, take some photos, do some editing in a hotel or in the car(love my G751, but it's a huge and heavy beast) and in the meantime - use it for programming(App Store is a huge market, that continues to grow), but... well... I don't know - don't like the "spaghetti in the backpack" idea...

That's scary, really, really scary. I don't mean the part about the blocking, but the "we don't know if and when the services will be restored". -
So yesterday our government revealed, that they are going to introduce pilot license and registrations for drones. Drones which weigh under 250 grams(around 9oz) and can't reach altitude of 150m(around 500 feet) can be used without license outside of public places(parks, stadiums and so on). The course for the license will be 250 euros(around $280 atm, minimum salary here is 210 euros($233)) and will be held in the Bulgarian academy of science's institute for cosmic research. So my question is - what are the laws in other countries for this?

The Workshop - You're doing it wrong (in my opinion)

On the topic of the hotter CPUs - should've used AMD ones. Some of them give away a ton of heat and are easily overclockable for even more heat. -
2 of Terry Pratchett's books, that were translated and published here - haven't bought books for months, so the situation had to be changed

Any tips for building a surveillance computer?
shymi replied to Gumi Rokkaku's topic in General Discussion
Why use a computer instead of a DVR for the surveillance stuff? -
No, I've got a Define R4 because of the clean look. As for the laptop - also no, I like the design of the ROG series.
