    I don't think that the $150 billion is from the American tax payer, it is Iran's money that was seized in American banks when sanctions were implemented.

    This small form factor machine would be a great replacement for the wife's antique system.

    Yeah, it doesn't support freesync. Linus just posted on twitter that it doesn't. Hopefully he will update the video or at least make a note in the description.

    Actually I should start going to the US to fill up my truck. Only about 10 minutes from my home and about $0.25-$0.30 cheaper /L.

    Lucky you. We are at $1.3799 CAD/L and that is down $0.02 from last week.

    Yes, you can get a PO box in the US even if you are a Canadian. Though I personally do not have one, I have a lot of friends that do and it is not a problem getting one. There is only a small yearly fee to keep the box. The US post office is only about 10 minutes from my place, counting border crossing time, and is a great convenience if you order a lot from the US. The post office is in a community of about 50 US residents but contains about 300 mail boxes because of all the Canadian customers that use it.

    You could try Everki. Mine is an Everki. http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_ss_c_0_6?url=search-alias%3Dcomputers&field-keywords=everki&sprefix=everki%2Caps%2C198

    I thought that he mentioned in one of the recent videos that he was with iTel, though their backend may be from Telus. Looking at iTels site, they are not cheap!

    Actually, if they have their security system up by the time of the meet, then maybe they could stream the multi-camera view to twitch!

    Had same problem on my new laptop. Downloaded win10 but kept failing on the install. So just downloaded the windows media creation tool and made a usb drive to install from. http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-10/media-creation-tool-install

    Yeah, shouldn't take more than that, assuming you are a US citizen and only coming for a visit/holiday. (make sure you aren't bringing in any drugs or firearms with you)

    All you should need to enter Canada is a passport, clean criminal record and proof of sufficient funds to support you during your stay in Canada and maybe where you plan to stay if staying longer than just a day trip. (Don't think Chehalis is too far from Vancouver/Surrey)

    I believe that you will not need a key to upgrade, but you must upgrade your existing installation first, which will then create and then send to MS a hardware ID. After this is done, then you can go ahead and do a clean install and at the part where it asks for a key to be provided, just skip this step and the installation will proceed and will activate via the hardware ID created during the initial upgrade. No more keys required, it will all be done via a hardware ID.

    You sure? I thought that I had read somewhere that the upgrade to win10 was going to delete the recovery partition on systems that had one, or did I misread this??

    Here in Canada the police don't normally shoot 'protesters', they prefer to tear gas them, but they will shoot you if you are holding a knife and acting in an aggressive manner and refuse to listen to the cops to drop your weapon..... http://bc.ctvnews.ca/man-fatally-shot-by-rcmp-in-dawson-creek-identified-1.2478143 http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/james-daniel-mcintyre-id-d-as-man-shot-by-rcmp-in-dawson-creek-1.3160317 http://www.alaskahighwaynews.ca/dawson-creek/police-shooting-victim-identified-as-james-mcintyre-1.2006178

    Was just trying to put across the point that the boards are dead anyway, so nothing to lose by trying, and if successful, he got away with a cheap repair instead of buying new boards.....

    Give it a try, you have nothing to lose. Had a Samsung 214T monitor and the screen went black after a few years of use. Google indicated that this model had a problem with the power board blowing some capacitors. With the help of Youtube, it cost me about $20 (caps, shipping and a solder sucker) and the experience of doing it, I was able to get the monitor working again.

    Any one know if Win 10 will be able to be installed on old MB's that do not support the 'Advanced Execute Disable Bit'? I've run the win 8 compatability program and it said that this MB was not compatible because it did not support this 'NX' bit, but the program also said that my old, but newer MB was not compatible either, but win 10 installed fine on it?
