Anybody know what happened to Ridge's suitcase (their "Carry-On Luggage" product)? It was the sponsor spot in the LTT "Fixing my phone" video but it's nowhere to be found on their site. Edit: their site automatically redirects to their UK site without any notification and their Luggage category isn't available outside of the US and Canada. I'd recommend they update their site so it gives notification to the user of the redirect (most stores do so I'm not sure why Ridge doesn't). Leaving this here just in case they see this.

Oura were also a sponsor of that day's Techlinked, so unlikely.

Insurance is my insurer, not the manufacturer. The laptop was covered under my accidental damage cover that's included with my rent.

They gave me the money and I used it to build myself a new desktop (which I sold a few months later as I decided I prefer laptops). Should've gone with a replacement rather than the money, but can't undo that.

Insurance determined that it was a write-off, especially as the heatsink was damaged (after this happened, one of the GPUs was much hotter than the other, and the CPU was a little warmer than normal). Aorus quoted me £400 to repair, to replace the chassis, fans, and heatsinks.

I plan to buy from Amazon, plus an accidental damage warranty (since I can't afford to lose £2,000, the cost is nothing compared to the cost of the machine). Amazon will usually honor a product's warranty, which is one of the reasons why I use them.

Wowee, that Aero 15X looks like a really nice machine and it ticks all my boxes. Same specs as the new Blade 15 but cheaper.

My Lenovo Y50-70 is 15.6" and has a numpad (I mean just a keyboard with a numpad on it, without messing about with the function keys).

Really liking the look of the Zephyrus M... might try and find a model with a 512GB or 1TB SSD though.

I considered the Zephyrus but I'm not a fan of the touchpad location, same goes for the Blade Pro. Used to have an Aorus X7 Pro Sync 4 which was pretty thin, but I accidentally did a Linus on it in October last year:

I'm planning to buy the new Razer Blade 15 in a couple of months as a replacement to my current 4720HQ/960m-based laptop. The model that I'm interested in has a 1070 (MaxQ, I know, but still within 5%-10% of the desktop model), i7 8750H, and 512GB SSD, as well as a 144Hz FHD screen. Price isn't really an issue here (as long as it isn't more than £2,100 (without VAT, GBP), however portability does factor heavily. Here's a list of what I want from a laptop: FHD or 4K screen, 13" or greater but no more than 15.6" Nvidia GTX 1060 or better, at least 6GB VRAM Ultraportable Has a numpad + RGB keyboard backlighting The Blade 15 ticks three of those boxes, but I'd really like to find an ultraportable gaming laptop in my price range that has a numpad. I also don't mind having to buy an external GPU dock and GPU in order to game, but that would mean the laptop would absolutely need Thunderbolt (that would put the laptop down to around £1,000, but the GPU dock would be around £250 and the GPU itself would be around £500, and then we arrive at a total cost price a little less than the Blade 15 that has discrete graphics- totally not really worth it in this case). My use case is games development, games, media consumption, and word processing (as a university student taking a computer science degree in games technology, I need to ask a lot from whatever machine I eventually settle on). Are there any laptops out there that meet all my requirements?

What they're saying is that if you can access the HDD from the new PC (from a caddy, directly connected, etc.), you should be able to go in and retrieve the contacts file. No need to open any programs other than Windows Explorer for this (and perhaps Disk Management to assign a drive letter if Windows doesn't do that automatically).

It's a UK type G plug.. in all honesty it's probably easier and simpler just to buy a new USB charger instead of an adapter.

That's how I understand it. The thing about most exchanges is that even if you buy cryptocurrency from them, it's still under their control (in wallets managed by them) until you withdraw it to somewhere else- all you did is buy a number that sits in a database table you can withdraw (that's one of the main negatives that many miners have against storing cryptocurrency in an exchange, and something that was brought up in the Mining Adventure Part 4 video). That means that if an exchange loses the entirety of its reserve, it also loses the money of its customers (unless they've been clever and have their reserve and customer account wallets separate, which infamously isn't something that Nicehash* did). An observation that I've made is that Japanese exchanges seem to be prone to these sort of issues (glitches, theft, hacking, etc.- I'm not saying that exchanges from other countries don't have these issues too, just that the Japanese exchanges are the ones that mostly make the news concerning this type of stuff). To top that, this particular exchange is currently under investigation for breaching trading legislation. *Although technically not a "true" exchange, they still buy and sell cryptocurrency.

Try reading it again, I added more info and switched to another source.
