    snortings got a reaction from TheBean in Build for my father   
    Hi all,
     
    Can some people look over this and advise me if this is good or if something should be swapped?
    1. Budget & Location
    $1200 AUD (no more, as he still has to factor in shipping).
    2. Aim
    A lot of browsing and office use, sometimes often video rendering from our CCTV system (hence the i7 for the quicker render and just better in general, he's happy with it).
    3. Monitors
    Already has a 1080p monitor.
    4. Peripherals
    No don't need any peripherals, already have Windows on an SSD etc. Not sure why he wants the Wi-Fi adapter because the computer is right next to the router, I suppose so he can hotspot his phone if he ever wants. He also has other HDD's but needs to upgrade one of them (its only 480gb) as it's getting full.
    5. Why are you upgrading?
    Very outdated computer, used to take 5 minutes to boot RAM slots are dying, constantly having to swap RAM Takes ages to render videos that is downloaded from our CCTV Wants just a more powerful computer all round  
    I do have a PC Part Picker link:

    Ah alright.
     
    Well if ya want it to "reduce active power to deliver better battery life and allows deeper lower power states to be reached," then keep it
     
    Tbh I wouldn't worry about it. I'd just uninstall it cause I couldn't be bothered to use it and its just taking up space so

    Yeah they are, but I doubt that they will come back and fix up the people on FTTN. Even if so, it's just another waste of money to fix up their mistakes cause they'll be ripping out the pre-existing technology. Liberal have really stuffed everything up, should've just stayed with Labor's plan of FTTP.

    Could the LTT crew please listen to the community and stop with the retarded thumbnails and insane clickbait (although that vary's with videos some are worse than others).
     
    We get it that it get's you guys more money but simply faking a title is wrong.
    I liked it when the thumbnails represented the product or the topic more like they did a year ago.
     
    This video has a intriguing title and a good Thumbnail.                                    This more recent one sucks, Photo shopped asf and is ugly, not helpful at all.
    Gives a good view of the product and is nice.                                                  I mean WHAT DO HOTDOGS HAVE TO DO WITH AN ALL-IN-ONE?!?
                                                            
     
    Or this thumbnail is really good!                                                VS             Then you have thumbnails like this one which have nothing to do with the
    Topnotch camera work by brandon and the title just works.                              video itself.. Please.
                                             
     
    Thumbnails that are not photo shopped are way better and the ones that are shouldn't be used it as it gives the video a way less professional look and is just plain annoying and anti-consumer.
