I mean, this  is just my personal opinion but, I think I would much rather have my kids go on a field trip to IBM or Oracle. Businesses that have a huge effect in the industry but aren't really in the public light. Granted that's not exactly accessible for a lot of schools. I'm a bit curious what the schools reasoning for going was, and what educational benefit they saw fit.

Back in my day, when we went on field trips, we actually went to places that were actually exciting whilst also being educational at the same time, such at the time we went to a forest reserve.
 
I don't see what's so educational about going to the Apple Store anyway, especially since you can easily go into the store at any time of the week and it's easy to find one anyhow.

Simultaneously one of the scummiest things possible but also one of the cleverest too.
 
Gets the kids hooked for life and also they then go home and tell friends and family how great Apple are. I wouldn't be surprised if they started giving out free Apple products to them next. Just like your friendly neighborhood smack dealer, the first hit is free.

thats kinda messed up

This is ridiculous. Advertising overpriced crap to kids. Whats next? 

The problem is you're arguing with people over which brand is better.
 
You use what you want to use, let others use what they want to use. Don't worry about it.

120GB x 25 = 3TB and 15€ x 25 = 375€
So that's basically 3TB of SSD storage for 375€; that's a ripoff (even if there's no sales tax) considering that those SSDs are complete crap.
 
Buy 3x MX500 for 120€ each instead. They're faster and more reliable than the crappy ones the dude is messaging you.

Ivan is no longer with us, I'm afraid.

Please bear with me, as this is my first guide. Feel free to give me constructive criticism.
Hello all! Today I'm going to show you how to
USE YOUR WIIMOTE AND NUNCHUCK AS YOUR MOUSE (and keyboard, too!)
Actually you can use pretty much any controller. Non-nintendo controllers don't even need the first download.
 
First and foremost:
This is NOT a guide on how to make it so you can wave your WiiMote around and have it move the mouse on the screen. If you want to do that, there's an instructibles here and a How-to-geek guide here. You can also use a different custom driver found in the first link under "What do I need?". I've found the GlovePIE method quite finicky (doesn't work all the time), but YMMV. This is a guide on how to use the joystick (or whatever buttons you like) as your mouse and/or keyboard. I've found that there is little to no perceptible input latency.
 
This is a guide for Windows 8.1 and 10 only. However, I'm guessing it won't be hard to figure out what to do for Windows 7 based on this.

Why would you want to do this?
The WiiMote and Nunchuck are significantly more ergonomic that any mouse, and most controllers. Unlike the latter two, you can wrap your hand all the way around a WiiMote or joystick which I find very comfortable. You can also control your computer across the room, but without needing a surface like you would for a wireless mouse. Finally, it looks really cool and you can show it off to your friends.

What do I need?
You will need four things:
1) A custom WiiMote driver made by Julian Löhr. You can download this here (download gamepad).                                                      
2) A software called JoyToKey. You can download it here.                                                                                                                         
3) A WiiMote                                                                                                                                                                                                
4) Bluetooth                                                                                                                                                                                                 
          5) Nunchuck (recommended)                                                                                                                                                                                
 
Step 1:
Download the driver. Once the driver is downloaded, unzip it and run TinyInstaller.exe. The author of the driver unfortunately does not have a Code Signing Certificate yet, so you'll need to disable
Driver Signature Verification before connecting your WiiMote. If you don't know how to do this, How-To-Geek made a handy guide you can use here. 
 
Step 2:
Once you've disabled Driver Signature Verification and restarted, connect your WiiMote. To do this, open up Bluetooth in System Settings → Devices → Bluetooth. For newer WiiMotes, you will need to connect to your computer using the button on the back (possible under the battery cover). However, for old WiiMotes without MotionPlus built in, you can just hold down ➀ and ➁. You should see something like Nintendo RVL-CNT-01 Show up. -TR will be added to the end of it if you're using a newer WiiMote. Click [Pair] or [Connect]. A popup dialog will show, asking for a password. Fortunately, you can just click Next without inputting a password. After this, you may see the word Connecting... following some spinning dots. I find that you can just click [Cancel] and the remote will still connect. After clicking cancel, a bar will appear under the WiiMote, and you can let it finish "loading." To check to see if the WiiMote was connected successfully, press the Windows button, and search USB. Click "Set Up USB Game Controllers." Your WiiMote should be listed there.
 
Step 3:
Here's the fun part! Run JoyToKey, and press a button on your controller. The button you press will be highlighted in yellow in the program, so you know what button corresponds to what. You can easily double-click the desired button you want to change and set it to what you want it to do. I have made my own configuration for normal mouse use, as well as for the game Portal 2. The downloads will be listed at the bottom.
 
Limitations:
-You CAN use this without JoyToKey - however, I have not been able to get it to work with Steam Big Picture Mode or Portal 2.
-According to the JoyToKey website, it won't work with some programs
Known issues:
...Copied from Julian Loehr's webpage, with a couple edits
-When powering off the Wii Remote or moving out of the Bluetooth range, Windows won’t recognize the Wii Remote is gone. Manually remove the remote in the Bluetooth settings.
-When shutting down Windows, the Wii Remote Device won’t be ejected and is still present on next start up. Manually remove the remote in the Bluetooth settings.
-When using other Bluetooth devices, they may stop working, until the Wii Remote is disconnected.
-Other Programs that need to communicate directly with the Wii Remote may not work.
-Trigger axis split, renders the last two versions of the driver unusable for GTA V.
-Incompatible with the Toshiba Bluetooth Stack
-Driver Signature Verification
Other issues:
-Sometimes the WiiMote will not work properly with JoyToKey. A simple fix to this is to click Options at the top, then Configure. Click Advanced Setting for Each Device at the top, and move around the Joystick or press a few buttons, then close it an everything should work properly.
 
Preset Configurations:
Mouse.cfg (Uses Nunchuck as mouse. Feel free to edit both of these however you wish.)
Portal.cfg (Raise sensitivity in-game. By default it will be very slow so you can get around menus, etc. better.)
 
Need any other help, or have suggestions? Just post it below!

I'm planning on making a video (and adding helpful images) showing this off (as well as a walkthrough) in the future.
 

 
 

A game being coded badly doesn't mean it'll damage your pc, only thing I could think of would be something like corrupting your hard drive. So no, running Minecraft (or really any game for that matter) is not bad for your pc or the components within.

i have like 10k do you want me to pm you a link?

It's YouTube.

handbrake? ffmpeg?

The project "The Plague Doctor" was born after the vision of the Lazzaretto in Venice that was a structure used in the seventeenth century to accommodate the patients who had infected the plague that was spreading in Italy at that time and the famous novel by Alessandro Manzoni, "I promessi sposi ". Characteristic are the garments used by the doctors of that period: a mask in the shape of a beak as a respirator to keep away the bad smells considered, at the time, the trigger for epidemics; water repellent dress in waxed canvas with gloves, shoes and wide-brimmed hat.
The project requires the use of two cabinets, Level 20 GT and Core P90. The idea is to cover the exterior of the cabinets to give a shape that gives the idea of a historic hospital building using different materials such as brick, tiles and windows. This solution appeared to me after seeing the exterior of the hospital, now in disuse, of Poveglia, still in Venice. The interior, on the other hand, will be decorated with scale objects by doctors of the plague and much more so as to reflect the rooms of a hospital of the time. The P90 cabinet is perfect to be adapted as "waterstation" and also from the roof of this building, in fact it will be positioned above the Level 20 GT in a horizontal way.
Some images of a small part of the objects that will be used in the project. Specifically they are: historical surgical kit, historical syringes and finally very old pharmacy bottles.

Many people like to talk about how the free market is best but NZ's government sponsored plan to roll out high speed internet to almost the entire country is going pretty well. Compare it to the US where a handful of companies have their own monopolies and refuse to upgrade the infrastructure, despite having received tax breaks for that specific purpose.
 
NZ is a challenging environment to roll out this kind of infrastructure because of the low population. Economies of scale don't really kick in with such a spread out population. It's good to see the government continuing to look to the future and provide people with the benefits high speed internet can provide.

I haven't seen mention of this but this valuable site is down until hardware issues are fixed. It is a good site to track the lowest prices on tech items or in my case photo stuff.

Do you want an i9 9900K!? Is Intel's flagship the object of your material dreams however you're an AMD peasant you can't afford it??
 
Fear no More! Gigabyte has you covered like none other does!
 
Now you can afford the i9 9900K beast by cheapening out at your motherboard and memory like never before! Introducing the Amazing, The one of a kind! Unique! the very first and hopefully the last DDR3 9th gen motherboard the Gigabyte H310M DS2V DD3 MicroATX.
 
You're too good for Intel's 14nm chipsets? Go back to the amazing 22nm recycled H310M chipset! That DDR3 1333mhz memory already used with your ancient FX CPU? if it works it works right? throw that in your case and order your i9 9900K already, don't forget you'll need a cooler so grab a Pentium Stock Cooler for maximum cringe goodness!
 
You'll have that sweet bragging rights of the worlds fastest mainstream CPU on the biggest bottleneck scenario ever, VRM and powerphases throttling? insufficient memory bandwidth all this won't matter when you can show off your CPU-z to those Ryzen users peasants! Do not waste another minute and order yours already!
 
"According to the official site, the Intel 9900K supports DDR4-2666 memory. It turns out that the Gigabyte H310M DS2V DDR3 micro ATX motherboard will allow users to run the same CPU with DDR3 memory instead. The motherboard is going to release soon and it supports DDR3-1333 to DDR3-1866."
