Where do you draw the line on technology in your life?
toms94z71 replied to BecauseICanTBH's topic in General Discussion
things that could be implanted in me that could control me i would draw the line at, other then that a modern smart phone has everything on it that the government needs to spy on your every move anyway. -

can you download courses to a phone to listen to offline with them?

I really don't bother proof reading on forum posts, especially when I have a terrible head cold like I do right now. I can write grammatically correct when it is really important. Linux is something I really want to master in the future personally. Yes, I will take your advice on practical knowledge as well as I have been in management for years in a few different companies and someone demonstrating the skills they claimed to have was always a big plus in the interview process.

So where I work right now has terrible cell service so streaming isn't a choice, so I was wondering if anyone has any good suggestions on audio books I can download to listen too while at work, eventually I want to get several certifications and get out of where I am working now, I already have a book on a+ certification and realize I knew 95 percent of what was in the book already so passing that certification test should be easy for me. I am looking for things a little more in depth. Thanks in advance.

I was just keeping the case he put in his first build, never had any problems with evga psu's myself, and I was trying to keep with and msi, personally if it was me I would go with and cheap 50$ case a 1060 or rx480, a gigabyte or asrock motherboard since they seem to be some of the best for the price and a 6600k, but I was trying to stick with a full size atx msi board since that is what he had in his original build, to me on tight budget builds asus and msi boards need to get overlooked. -

it is going to be hard to get it down to that 900 range with out going to a 1060 or rx480, unless you really cheap out on the cpu and motherboard. (edited because I even stutter when I type sometimes lol) -
From working in the automotive business, the majority of people care more about looks than anything else. I have had so many people come in that just bought a car, but have no idea what engine is in it, or the car has beautiful paint and body but every warning light is on in the dash and they got it just because it looked pretty.
