OK, I am an AS Cambridge student I want to take computer science. I love technology, Learned to code, currently going through cyber security courses, and I even watch tech-related stuff on YouTube as entertainment. All in all, technology is my passion and what my career is 100% going to be based upon. But my parents are forcing me to take chemistry and I would rather study anything else than this extremely dull and unnecessary subject, I can't even go into dept as to how much I personally hate chemistry. My Guardian is saying that you can take computer science as an extra subject. So what happened my mother's brother or my uncle, said that don't take computer science now. He said to take it at university. And when my Guardian got to know. he said I made a terrible mistake. (he is also a computer engineer, and knows I have a lot of passion and interest in information technology, software, and hardware). My counselor said that I need to check specific universities to see if chemistry is necessary for computer engineering. I have an interest in hard and software both. (computer engineering includes both of them). But I prefer software more. My Guardian is also saying you need to do an engineering field he says Computer Science has no scope. I am surprised. But anyways, the main I did was that I told my Uncle about what the counselor said. He said so it might mean that for some universities you might need chemistry. He is a mechanical engineer and is not in the Computer Engineering field. And that was my biggest mistake….., I manually didnt check the universities in my country, and the main criteria. Is Physics, Maths, and Computer Science. but if you take chemistry as a secondary you can apply for it. The problem is, why on God's Earth would I waste my energy in time on a subject I absolutely hate. If I clearly have the option to pursue my goals the way I want to? I don’t know why I agreed to his suggestion that some universities might need chemistry. None do, only Harvard and Oxford need it, I even tried to explain that 70% to 80% of the students who have same passions as me Took Computer Science instead of chemistry. And seriously I am so angry as to how my Uncle is interfering and almost ruining my career. And my mother now is also forcing me to take computer science. I actually took some online tuition classes from my Uncle, and he is funding for extra home tuition for all of my subjects. That is why he is trying to help me out, in which he is clearly failing. I also have some interest in robotics, and my Guardian said. For that you need chemistry. Like if you take chemistry, you can go into both fields and explore. Even though all of my my Father and my Guardian is from my father's Family all their brothers are in IT and software engineer for some stupid reason my Guardian is saying me to go and "atleast try Engineering Field, who knows if you like it" The only Engineer is my Grandfather, and even my father went through this problem when he was my age. He did try as my grandfather said . After trying it for a semester or two (not sure how long) he said "I don't like! it is too difficult for me.". Look my father's money is limited also, I can't also afford to waste money on a field I already know I will not like. My own Father went through this switched to IT and made a successful family. And because of personal family and health issues already my 1 year got wasted. I can't afford to waste more years; on something I will hate in the end. It is a waste of time and money, I need to get through university and to get highly paid Job Asap , to maintain my Fathers wealth. Not waste it... I told my Principle the situation, and she talked called my Uncle, unfortunetly he didn’t attend, (its summer vacation, should I contact her again to talk to him in whatsapp? I have less time left). So instead I said her to talk to my Guardian, and told him that “Your son is week in chemistry and he is finding it tough, its high school chemistry which is even more tough and he will not be able to do it.. You can talk to him in front of me” My Gaurdian me, so what do you want to do in future? I said I want to peruse computer science. You wont be able to go in Computer Engineering, you will only be able to go in Computer Science. (At that time I didn’t check my university criteria from my country.) My guardian is forcing me to do University in my country, they do have some very good education insitituions. But I want to go abroad. My guardian said that you would be better off doing Masters abroad but at least do bachelors in your country, as outside is very expensive and you will have to live alone. My fathers friend lives in America, and my Mothers sister in UK. And my Fathers eldest brother live in Canada Though I haven’t research I know Malaysia is good, has the same degree level of Canada. My mother also motivates me to go abroad as I want to, but long story short. My Guardian left his job and career to take care of me. He was happy living in a rich country. But still left everything for me, as he was very close to my Father. And will leave till I get a stable and have a highly paid Job and a family. So he also said “If you will go abroad, then why did I leave everything” in like a worrying way. He genuinely cares about me helped me out in extremely hard times and we had so many happy memories. But perhaps he can take care of my sisters? I won’t live their forever, I can come back for him. But If I started to like living abroad, he himself lived in UK I could go with him there, and he will be with me. I even told my coordinator the situation even though she gets a little angry easily, though she already somewhat knew as she manages my day to day subject related and academic problem. But God… she is the real hero… My Mom on her way with me to the bank with the receipt for registering three A level subjects, with chemistry instead of computer science. I called my coordinator and requested her to talk to my mother, She said “Its fine, he has home tuition, so he can teach him chemistry” and my coordinator said “How can a person teach all three different subjects?” and that was true, the tutor could barely give me time for each subject, and me being weak in chemistry. I wasn’t even passing my school exams. But sadly my mother hesitated I will personally teach him, and then gave the money for registration. I was just confused as to what I can do in this situation. But as exams were drawing near. My coordinator physically called my mother. They had a fight and threatened that she will kick me out of the collage, if he doesn’t get good grades in maths and physics and ask communicated with Cambridge and withdrawed my registration for Chemistry. Now the problem is this, my tutor is steal teaching me chemistry for October November (I gave AS Physics only in MayJune as my preparation for others wasn’t good). And they still haven’t registered for October November before they register for chemistry again. Would should I do? I still attended computer science classes but for 1 month I didn’t (and left out a lot of chapters, in 1 month they covered so much) My guardian once said that he will talk to my tutor to teach computer science. I will try my best to learn from youtube and stuff, practice pastpapers. My best friend gave me a brilliant suggestion to simply try your best to convince your family to focus on computer science and later give chemistry as a extra subject. Instead of vise-versa. Please guys, I need your help as to how can I convince my family. My Computer Science teacher was suppose to meet my Guardian in meeting to convince him to change my subject, but then it was time to pray, and he went straight home. I will try to call my Teacher and get him into a call. Help me guys.

So I installed Android x86 8.1 release 2, I can run many apps and games in it, But except for FPS games like Call of Duty Mobile because their is no key-mapper built-in, I tried to search online tremendously and can't find a single keymapper. Octopus does not work in Android x86 with all the FPS for some reason.. Can some help me with this problem?.

Today I bought my mi-band 4, but The problem is that currently, I don't have access to any android device but just my Laptop, I really want to try out my mi-band 4 but there are no emulators that support Bluetooth...Later I tried Installing Android x86 (8.1) in Virtualbox, Got the VM successfully running but then I tried to install the mi-fit app but the app for some heck of a reason is not compatible with my Android x86 VM, I even side-loaded its APK from apkhere.com but it always crashed when every I load the app. There got to be some way I can use my mi-band 4 with my PC, right?

Yes, I just found that out. But before for some reason, I thought my apps will be stored to my /home folder by default lol. But as you can see I said, I completely deleted my Linux partitions. They are no more. I'm gonna do a fresh installation. So I am asking, what should be the best and efficient way to use my 25GB partition and 300GB HDD partition? Should I do something during the Installations of my OS? or is there a setting in the App centre which allows you to do It, and I was blind and couldn't find it? is there a command where I should write before Installing apps from the terminal?

My root partition is what I meant by my "Boot partition" My entire root folder was stored in my 25GB SSD partition. but only /home folder in my 300GB HDD.

Hey, I'm new to Linux. The distro I chose is Linux Mint since it was the distro recommended for the first time users by everyone. I have a 128GB SSD and 1TB HDD and I'm running Windows as my main OS. I wanted to dual boot with Linux Mint, the recommended space for Linux Mint as it says is 25GB. Since I have like 40GB left in my boot drive (SSD) I made a partition of 25GB SSD and a 300Gb from my HDD since I thought I won't need too much space while I will be testing out the OS. I installed the / root directory to my 25GB SSD partition and /home to my 300 HDD partition, and it worked good. The OS loaded very fast almost Instantly. After using the OS for around 2 weeks, I really liked it. And since then I have installed some heck amount software, what I noticed my boot partition free space was decreasing. And suddenly it came to a point it said in a notification "0 bytes left" and I was like, WHAT? I clicked the "examine" option on the notification and examined my root folder (boot partition) didn't understand well from it, But when I checked the applications folder (which I just found out was it my / root directory) I saw all of my software was installed there and I was surprised, because for some reason I thought that all of my applications will be Installed in my /home directory. I gave up organizing those folders and thought I would do that tomorrow, and shut downed and booted to windows. While I booted back to Linux Mint, I noticed I couldn't log in to my user account at all. I was worried and don't know what to do, after some research I saw that the problem can happen with some graphics drivers issue or storage problems. of course, I saw the problem and made some free space by going to recovery mode of Linux and clicked "make free space" it worked. I tried to manage my files, but I gave up because my apps weren't loading idk what dependencies were important and my entire OS turned into a complete mess. I completely deleted my Linux partitions and deleted the grub bootloader, right now I will be Installing Linux Mint again completely fresh new on a 25GSSD and a 300 HDD again. But before I do that I want to ask you guys and want advice and some help. What should be the best and efficient solution for organizing my storage? I just want my necessary boot files to be on my SSD and make sure it doesn't take any more space, and whatever I download and Install should be done on my HDD. But I don't know how to do it. Should I do something during the Installations of my OS? or is there a setting in the App centre which allows you to do it, and I was blind and couldn't find it? is there a command where I should write before Installing apps from the terminal? Please really need some help here. Note: As I have told you before I'm completely new to Linux right at the beginning, and yes I still don't know almost anything about Linux till now. So don't expect me to know much.

Yeah, I use 7zip extensively because it is faster and it works all the time. But the looks, icons or the theme in general looks horrible and ugly. How can I change it?

By "Brand New" I mean actually brand new products unlike used. Not talking about how newly they were launched or something Note Fe will get the Android Pie. Very likely to after many huge leaks. But, yeah I think it will be the last Update 3 years for updates by Samsung are dope though. Thanks for your suggestions I was thinking to get Honor 10 too. The Note FE does have very good and Vibrant AMOLED screen and S-pen (which im not sure I would use) My friends Note FE did felt very premium at my hands. But Now I prefer The good changing looks in Honor 10 and the placement of the Cameras. In White Friday sale at my country (Just say it is exactly as Black Friday) Note FE is going for around $290!!! And Honor 10 for $305 Soo Xiaomi Mi 8 is like $400. Like $100 more and is not much different from Honor 10. Oneplus 6 in my country is $600. I'm currently not on getting from other sites. Not sure how is the customer support of gear best. Farwell, I think I would get the Honor 10 then Thanks for the help

Ok lol. Go for a gtx1070ti then.

I would very highly recommend you the used market right now. It is GORGEOUS!! A freaking 1070 for $250!!

sorry for replying you late. But I would ask you what would you pick personally?

wow. That is the Perfect Build! @jsonschema Just Go with this if you are Into new Parts!. If you are Into the used Market you can get a Gtx 1070 or a 980ti for $200 at ebay. They are very Good for 1080p 144fps gaming in sports titles like Overwatch. But RX580 is good too for many Games at 1080 144ps like Csgo but It can also run games at 1440p 60fps!. In almost every Game. In non- competitive like Grand Theft Auto 5 (GTA 5) I would go for 1440p. Edit: Hm. The case in this list does not have a Front panel. You have like $20 dollars left and if you just spend $10 more You can get a Good sexier a white NZXT H500 for $67 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07C3SQP9V/ref=twister_B07F4G24W3?_encoding=UTF8&th=1 In total $665. For $15 more you can get a sexier look.

I mean It is an Rx 570. Should go with a Different RAM and Mobo to get a RX580

Hey Guys In my country I can get a Full Brand New Honor 10 for $320 but at a different store I saw I can also get a Brand New Galaxy Note FE for $346 Honor 10 has better Chipset and Better AI Camera. With a very Unquie and good looking Back. Galaxy Note FE will get Updates and feels Premium and also has the S-pen. And I find One Ui (That will come in the Note FE) to be Looking Good. And it is ip 68 while Honor to be ip 67. But in conclusion, what would you guys pick?

Bro That is a very good one. But I bet they include mail-in rebates right?

You want to go to the used market or new? Are you ok with used parts or new parts? I have a Good list for all of them.

But it is Good and respectable it is Better than the SD 660 (or 636) Found is latest Xioami Redimi series.

Well me too I don't care about it too. since also in my country no one uses it. The other person @TheNuzziNuzz was saying something about it

Also if the camera is the main focus for you get the Samsung Galaxy A7. For $350 it also has NFC, It has freaking 3 camera with decent quality. it comes with decent SD 710 I mean good for most work.

Really? Ok, most budget phones I have seen (average $300) do not have it. Meanwhile Samsung phones have it. The Galaxy A7 has it

NFC... well. Ok, that is a tough one to find it in a budget smartphone.

Thanks dude But is there a way to add or replace another icon on that file, but the path will be leading to Google drive?

Well for $210 less, you lose the In display Fingerprint sensor. The water drop notch than a big one (it can be toggled off). You lose the Glass back. The f1 is made out of Plastic but you can put a sort of skin or case to make it feel premium. Stock Android. Miui will be filled with bloatware and ADS. But hey all of those ads can be turned off in individual Apps settings. And it is Android you can simply delete those Bloatware Apps. Otherwise. Not much

The fingerprint sensor is at the back though. Notch is a but huge but it can be toggled off in settings. The base model comes with... 64GB storage 4GB Ram. Huawei's current Flagship Kirin 970 (A bit slower than an SD 845 but faster than SD 835) Main:16 MP, f/2.2, PDAFSecond:2 MP, f/2.4, depth sensor It comes with Android 8.1 oreo but it will get Android P soon. It runs EMUI, In my experience it is good. The best thing I like about it is the regular security patches it gets every month! with optimization and some extra features and bug fixes every month!!

Well i mean, I simply want to personalise and make my explorer look clean
