New setup with a 55" Sony X900F as the centerpiece: 
 

iPhone 11 and Apple Watch series 3, and the retarded lightning to headphone jack, because fuckin Larry from corporate decided that there needs to be more AirPod sales.

Job bought it for me.  ASUS ROG G703GX-XB96K
 

Xiaomi Redmi 8A for 90$.

Picked up an iPhone 11 Pro Max for myself last week and an iPhone XR for my sisters birthday Monday. Pretty expensive couple days for me
 
 

Bought 3 out of the 7(?) so far.


 

Bluetooth in my gaming rig finally!!

I bought some galaxy buds+. I needed some wireless IEMs for exercising. The galaxy buds+ got a good rating for a TWS by crinacle and the battery life was the best, so that's why I went with them over other TWS IEMs. They are fine IEMs, but they don't live up to what I am used to, granted I didn't expect them to live up to my custom IEMs or any headphones I use.

My ASrock Z87 Extreme6 died on me, when I powered up, on fans were running, debug LED was off, and of course I got a blank screen. My i7 4770K is still a useful CPU, for games should I wish so (with a Gigabyte VEGA64 Gaming OC), though I use it more as a HTPC with my 65" TV in the living room.  So, I got myself an MSI Z87 G45 Gaming as replacement. Has a subtle red and black color scheme, populated the RAM slots with my RipJawsZ DDR3 1600MHz which were red so it suit the color scheme. 

Help! I have a problem...  Picked up an in-wall AP and the new 24port POE switch
 

@Pascal...

Picked up a new akko 3068 keyboard mx master 3 and new key cap set for my ducky one two skyline.

To be honest, this picture looks more like a slice of some dried fruit with spots of mold on it.

Here’s another photo

On top of that it is an "unusual" case with "wrong" CPU motherboard combo, I decided to install a very "wrong" hackintosh on it.

So I bought a scratch SSD (120gb WD Green) and borrowed RX 570 4GB

(was not really needed, GTX 760 is supported by Mojave) downloaded MacOS Mojave installer on a flash drive and the MacOS journey started.


3 times I tried without any success until I tried to put the thumb drive into "black" USB 2.0 port instead of the "blue" USB 3.0 port. and half an hour later I have a "working" Mojave installed on the PC ?

It is installed and "working" without network card, no wifi, no sound but it is installed
After few hours of searching Hackintosh forums ethernet started to work, all USB ports working, but I have not tried to check their actual speed cause I do not have any fast flash drive.
Built in sound and bluetooth (borrowed an apple keyboard and mouse next day and it worked without any problems except dead batteries, I think I can live with wired-office keyboard and mouse for now) and airplay work as well. In order to get a wifi and airdrop I need a wifi card probably I will order it from ebay or aliexpress 
Airplay on Samsung Q9FN

Here is some Cinebench R15 and R20 results. My CPU is detected as a 3!!! core 6 thread CPU


Some final thoughts about Mojave and Hackintosh
It works, the dark theme is great and it takes time to get used to. Windows works as well and 500Gb ssd is on can be seen from mac OS and all my documents can be used. windows does not see macOS SSD and it does not bother me.
PS I received some cable sleeving material and want to make my own custom cables, but going on holiday for  month and will not do it now.
Also I can not chose a proper GPU, on one hand AMD is a way to go but the choice is a very limited one 3 ITX AMD cards are available:
Saphire 570 4GB ITX (costs around $100)
RX 580 4GB OEM HP (very rare card on the second hand market cost around $100 as well)
RX Fury Nano (cost around $150-200, it is the best performer out of the red team, except powercolor rx vega 56 nano, it is probably easier to find a working 3dfx voodoo 4)
on the Green side there is 1060 6GB (loads of ITX cards), 1660 (EVGA) 1660ti and even 2060, they all are more expensive but they deliver much better performance than any AMD cards listed above, but non of them is compatible with MacOS Mojave ? 
 

I was browsing build logs here and found one very unique Build. It is a solid piece of steel bent in very cool shape. So I decided to build one.
On top of that my good old sony vaio laptop is slowly dying (sony sold vaio brand around 4 years ago, and mine is a first gen i5) and an upgrade is much needed. My job is slightly changed from what it was 10 years ago and does not require a lot of traveling around the country, so there is not much need for a laptop.
After a few hours in autocad and sketchup both 3d model and 2d production model was done. Few more double checking of dimensions and it was ready to laser cut and bend.
So I’ve emailed it to a metalworking firm after 2 days of discussions we agreed on final design and price. All is left is to wait till it is done and shipped.


it will made out of 4mm aluminium with some precise bending and tig welding.
As for parts I tried to go as budget as possible to get good performance:
i5 9400f (will be delidded)
Asus Gtx760 will be upgraded later to evga gtx 1660ti
500gb m.2 ssd (sata)
corsair sfx 600 (yes it is an overkill, but i take it from my htpc build)
16gb corsair vengeance rgb 3200 (stealing it from mixed and match 32 gb “kit” in my main home pc)
as for motherboard i go for asus z170i pro gaming (can get it for around $70 and all i need is to flash bios on it in order to use coffee lake)
for cooling i have not decided yet if i find a good deal I will buy something like be quiet top flow cooler, but I also have coolermaster gemini 

 
 

Well, a deal came up...
I bought a Gigabyte GTX 970 4gb for €90 ($100). 
I also ordered a Moddiy 24-pin to 8-pin converter. The only thing left is a power supply.
Some pictures of the 970:
 

Implementing SEO is implementing proper page tags,(titles, pages named properly etc), meta (which isn't read as much these days) and making sure your content has all meaningful content laid out.  One aspect that is often overlooked is accessibility tags for the blind and making sure content is available for screen readers.  Don't obfuscate important content behind many layers of generating content (ie flask, php etc) and make sure all image tags are accurate.

In regards to SEM, this is Pay Per Click advertising generally.  It is an ongoing expense that requires data analysis and PPC campaign management.  It can be quite overwhelming and the costs can skyrocket depending on the system.  I generally refer folks away from SEM unless we are dealing with a budget in the 10K a month range.

I thought it was basically the same as the Phanteks Shift series, just with different side panels. 

An easier way would just be to sudo apt-get install lamp-server^, all CMS need a web server, so nginx, apache2, tomcat etc.

why? 
cos if those 2 were different it would be too hard to remember.
