Soooooooooooooo, wont a VPN solve this?

Like: "ALL EU MEMBERS MUST HAVE THEIR MEDIA FILTERED"
A guy with a VPN: "I AM IN LATIN AMERICA SENIOUR, QUE?"

I think you can normally use 2012r2 keys on 2016 and 2019, give that a try.

And you think they won't notice some account suddenly is using 3TB of space? Good luck with that  

Not sure why 100megabyte/s read and write over usb3 is slower than internet?! 
I would always prefer local backups over cloud storage as you always know where you data is and because of the availability. It's also pretty cheap now. 
 
If you want it more advanced you could get a NAS, which will ultimately be more expensive but has safety build in, so to speak. (raid 1)

If you're willing to pay 170euro for cloud subscription why not just go to your local store and buy yourself a external harddrive yes it will be slower but you won't have to depend on your internet.

Get an external 3tb drive? They only cost around 100€ now.

EDIT FOR TITLE: NOT PASSED, sorry. Just EU parliament approved it. 

@GabenJr I was amazed by what you guys did! At first I was skeptical whether you will be able to create the custom plating. 


I was wrong indeed. Excellent job guys. 

Now to the point. Can I order one?  

Make sure you sent us a picture here so we can enjoy it as well
 

Like other people have said, CompTIA A+ is a great place to start. As an added bonus, if you get certified, you could get a job. A test like you described doesn't really exist. Check this out if you want some information on IT career paths.
 
If you're interested in learning, check out class listings at your local community college, or do your own self study on the internet. Plenty of resources to learn from; Linus is self taught too.

IF YOU LIVE IN THE EU CONTACT YOUR MEP

Indeed. Still going to be on vote in January.

I don't dislike consoles. I dislike the disguising of PCs as consoles when in a perfect wold we could just have every game for every platform. 
 
I dislike the locked-down nature of a console compared to a PC. What if I don't WANT to use a PS4 controller? What if I want to spend more and get better graphical fidelity? I'd much rather have a Nintendo Switch++ and run BotW at 60FPS... but I can't because console. 
 
So yeah, there are things I dislike about them but I also see the purpose of different products in the marketplace and I'm not blinded by my hatred or them or anything. 
 
I bought a switch not long ago and I and my kids do more console gaming together than PC gaming at the moment. 

The slot machine analogy still stands

Probably, but is it SIMULATED!?11?!?11

you could probably buy a real train with that

We have the biggest views, the best views. Tremendous. Believe me. 
 
:small hands emoji: 

Hehe didn't even realize. That's awesome!

Because changing any more variables than you have to at once is a bad idea.
 
If we had put in a CPU and RAM that we aren't sure will work, along with a motherboard and power supply that we aren't sure will work, then if the machine didn't post, we wouldn't know what the problem was.

General purpose quantum computers won't have an advantage over classic binary-based deterministic computers. This is just not how it works. Quantum computing only has advantages in very speciic applications. Browsing, Games, writing text in work is not one of it. Despite that: throw away ALL of your current software since nothing is compatible. So guys, please stop dreaming of quantium computers. They're NOT what you're thinking they are.
 
And considering AI – we do have AI. It's already all around us. What you guys are thinking of (I guess) are general purpose AI. That is a very dangerous thing and there's nothing like an AI processor unless you're thinking of the Titan V as an AI processor. Still, all neural networks are still just being projected on regular binary based structures. Add more cores and you improve performance.
 
The near future will bring a slowed development. We're close to the physical limit of silicon. There will be a new material being introduced within the next ~10-20 years. In the mean team we'll see further parallelization and rising core counts. Carbon nano tubes might be a possibility but the thing is: they aren't new and not even difficult to manufacture (heck, you can make them yourself at home with some tape and a pencil) yet we don't see them in many applications. Nanotubes have been around for about 30 years and yet in 2012 we've seen the first demonstration of 9nm transistor outperforming a Silicon based equivalent. There was a "computer" about a year later but that's kind of it. Nanotubes are not a miracle material. They might only push the limit for a couple of years maybe one or two decades but then we're at the same point again and quantum mechanics are knocking on the door again. 

Next thing is the human interface. How come people aren't surprised that the way we interact with our computers haven't much changed in decades? Keyboards haven't really changed. In fact the good old mechanical keyboards are more and more in demand again and the oldest ones seem to develop a mythical aura. Or what about the mice? The basic principle hasn't changed, the machanical balls got replaced by lasers but that's about it. The next ~30 years will bring a development of more and more "bionic" technology and a more direct way of interacting with electronic devices. I'm not talking about thought control (people usually have no idea how complicated that would actually be – ever tried to control your brain waves on command? gues what, it's really tricky!). Think of implanted input devices, maybe even microphnes for telecomunication, ear implants and maybe teven the first eye implants. We already have some very basic implants (think of cochlea implants) – the medical development will give (some) blind people sight again and some deaf people hearing. Those implants will probably be even better than the biological parts they're replacing. By the end of the century electronically improved/modified people will be around. It's not unlikely that people will have their personal computers/smartphones implanted. 
 
In the mean time: smart glasses. Google had its early take on smart glasses – for now they're done, yes. But they will come back. Augmented reality will most likely be the norm. 

And lastly: the merge of devices. We're already seing the beginning of this development. Think of tv sets 15-20 years ago. The first LCD and Plasma screens were around offering 720p or even 1080i for the first time – yet those sets were just plain displays with some speakers. They didn't have an OS running media content, streaming apps and so on – just displays. Today there's basically no point in having an AppleTV or a similar device anymore, you can just have one device to do all of it. Or think of MP3 players, walkmans/discmans/md player. You don't have those anymore, it's all in your phone. The merge of devices is obvious. This trend won't stop. I expect smartphones to be more and more powerful and replacing your regular computer at some point. We've already seen first attempts to acchieve this and 2-in laptops (or detachables) are on the rise. Combined with powerful wireless connections and smart devices around you can just send your video signal straight to the next big display, wireless power/charging and probably projected input devices on every surface.

Are you guys planning to post some High Quality images? I want please?

I like this idea. Thank you!
