  1. Looks dope! If you don't mind, what diameter of tube did you use?
  2. Nnnope, just you. Maybe crazy, hard to tell. What do the voices say?
  3. Not a hardware difference - the UI layout of AutoCAD for Mac is different (though recent updates have brought the two much closer together).
  4. Rundown on what it is and some solutions here: https://www.macworld.com/article/676493/how-to-delete-system-storage-on-mac.html
  5. Not exactly the same, but close: https://www.shapeways.com/product/NVL5WSX8E/stegosaurus
  6. A thought: AutoCAD for MacOS is a vastly different experience than AutoCAD for Windows. It still works well (actually more responsive in my experience) but your sis needs to be on board for a major UI and shortcut change. FWIW, most of the Autodesk library isn't available for windows, so a mac could be limiting if she wants to move further into the CAD space.
  7. Gotcha, I misunderstood. Microsoft seems to point you towards parental controls, but I can't speak to that from personal experience.
  8. As @RONOTHAN## said, it's OK. Those aren't pins per se, they're small tabs that touch the surface of the pads on the underside of the CPU. Their bent-over orientation allows them to operate like a spring, creating a broader range of pressure that will allow for reliable contact between the "pin" and the CPU pads.
  9. a few seconds in google gets this: Not exactly the same model, butthe webUI are likely similar
  10. I've had a good experience buying hard drives form B&H, they've packaged them exceptionally well.
  11. Built in this case with 2x360mm and 1x240mm a few years back, single D5 did fine cooling 9900x and a pair of 2080tis.
  12. 240mm AIO might be a bit small for that chip, I would look to see if anyone has tried it. Bear in mind an AIO is a limited-lifespan product - it's performance will degrade with time due to corrosion inside the loop.
  13. It appears to accept a 2.5" SATA SSD. Something like this would be much faster than what you currently have: https://www.newegg.com/western-digital-blue-1tb/p/N82E16820250088 According to Crucial, these modules are compatible: https://www.crucial.com/memory/ddr3/ct102464bf160b/ct4416168 You need two to reach the maximum 16GB capacity.
  14. Seems like you could achieve the same result with a mobile hotspot.
  15. This page https://www.dell.com/ae/business/p/latitude-e6440-laptop/pd states that it was available with an i7. If you can find a motherboard with a more powerful chip, I expect you could swap it in. For instance, here's one with an i5: https://www.amazon.com/YJR6N-Dell-Latitude-Motherboard-i5-3360M/dp/B01AZ32SM4 And an i7: https://www.ebay.com/itm/165364331779?chn=ps&norover=1&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-117182-37290-0&mkcid=2&itemid=165364331779&targetid=1529314450550&device=c&mktype=&googleloc=9032023&poi=&campaignid=15428210793&mkgroupid=129606026639&rlsatarget=pla-1529314450550&abcId=9300764&merchantid=110801248&gclid=CjwKCAjwve2TBhByEiwAaktM1DQHmSVb-ub7DDw0vubVVMyz-w-8RB6WqqaHh_Iakc3XoLBupePCchoCJvIQAvD_BwE You must be INCREDIBLY DILIGENT to ensure that you get a motherboard from the same product generation as your current machine. Laptops are a bear when it comes to compatibility between generations. Edited to add: Don't do this if you are not very comfortable working with this type of device. Lots of small connectors, easy to damage something.
