sadly i dont need home insurance because thats covered by the univeristy

Basically I am entitled to a DSA allowance which is a funded by the goverment for students with learning difficulties. In this allowance they have said that i am allowed to have insurance over my PC, and like if its free take it. The only problem is that it has to be through a company that allows custom PCs and has a maxium cover of £3000+ preferably. Is there a good place where I can start looking?

So recently i brought a VG27WQ1B and i just got it out of the box and the colours are a bit warm. I have tried to access the colour menu however it skips it when i go over it and it has greyed out a tone of other options as well along with it. Does anyone know how to fix this?

ahh shoot here is me being hopeful

So last year i brought a huawei media pad t3 to use as a laptop alt bc it was a lot lighter (yes i know they arent a good company but it was £70 from tesco) as i am going back to college soon i will need to get that thing working again but realised it is dead slow for anything useful and there is about a 1/4 of a second delay when i swipe to go the page. Probably havent got the best RAM usage but here we go. Is it possible to run ubuntu instead of andriod 7? From my admittedly small knowlege of linux it is best used for older/crappier hardware. Would it be possible to have linux run on it? Would system responsiveness be better? Would you be able to get touch screen working on this as i dont use a keyboard and mouse to save on weight in my rucksack? I dont know much about moblie hardware but here is the specs: Processor 1.4GHz quad-core Processor make: Qualcomm Snapdragon 425 RAM: 2GB Another reason from wanting to upgrade from andriod is that want to be able to get desktop apps working on there as finding apps to do some of the stuff that i can do on my pc, for instance in one lesson i want to be able to code without going to the machine and making it look like i am busy when in acc terms i have no idea what i am even doing. Thanks in advance

oh yeah i am keeping my eyes peeled for good deals but like i am not buying a psu second hand bc thats a law suit kinda thing if it sets on fire and then i am fucked

thats really helpful bc i am just imagining some dad or something buying something for his kids birthday and like i am more imagining the facebook market than anything

So i just brought an i5 6600 with a sabertooth z170 (and a case that is apprently very generic) for £130 i then plan to put some cash into it and flip it on ebay or facebook marketplace. So my idea is that ill stick in this: CPU: Intel Core i5-6600 3.3 GHz Quad-Core Processor (£60.00) CPU Cooler: Thermaltake UX100 38.82 CFM CPU Cooler (£14.99 @ Amazon UK) Motherboard: Asus SABERTOOTH Z170 S ATX LGA1151 Motherboard (£70.00) Memory: Corsair Vengeance LPX 8 GB (2 x 4 GB) DDR4-3000 CL16 Memory (£39.95 @ Amazon UK) Storage: Kingston A400 120 GB 2.5" Solid State Drive (£19.97 @ Amazon UK) Storage: Western Digital Caviar Blue 1 TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive (£34.38 @ Aria PC) Video Card: MSI GeForce GTX 1650 4 GB GAMING X Video Card (£90.00) Power Supply: EVGA BR 450 W 80+ Bronze Certified ATX Power Supply (£50.47 @ Scan.co.uk) Total: £379.76 I will buying the gpu second hand off ebay as i have seen deals that are selling for around £90. I am currious what someone would be prepared to pay for that? I was thinking maybe £600 to £550? Is that too expensive or just right?

so i managed to boot it and i think it was the mini hdmi cable that was being messy along with me and my dumbass not installing retropie right

its been 45v mins

so i just did that and the green light breifly came on but then no display happened

alright thanks

so what should i do?

whats that?

ill try that
