    if you want a 16" screen, looks like you have to get the mac pro. If you need portability then i see no reason to go above the macbook air. I had 256GB ssd in my 2015 macbook air, and i filled that up very fast so i recommend you get larger.

    ive been spit shining my monitor for years. Makes sense considering most of the dirt on there is from me sneezing on it.

    I would gladly go backwards in tech if it meant doing it again without the suicide nets around the iphone factory. Oh and we had smart phones in the 90s. They were called PDAs. I'm still rocking my 80's smart watch

    looks like they are just moving TPM, which has been around for ages. and yes Microsoft does often mean IP protection when it speaks of security. Has been doing this since the days of "don't copy that floppy".

    I wish content creators would get into p2p video sharing like we did before youtube. They can embed sponsor ads into their videos like jayz2cents does in an entertaining way. No random weird ads chosen by algorithm thanks.

    for a home office/student pc I recommend bluetooth speakers/headphones, mouse, and keyboard. Less clutter, less hum on the speakers at low volume. As a student you are going to be grinding late into the night. I also recommend a gaming laptop for students. I don't know where you live but when i was a student I moved several times and this is easier with a laptop. Also you can do your projects anywhere, and it really pays off in the later years when you have to present projects to have your workstation with you. Get a gaming laptop + backup drive + heaphones + mouse + a second hand TV/monitor. Should be do-able for twenty five hundred dollery-doos.

    inverted cases are so rare no one reputable has reviewed them. I wish i tested my thermals in my NR400 before i changed cases, but I know it's def cooler and quieter. It also looks better because my mATX fills it out so there are no empty spaces in the case. It's full intake fan on heatsink action. The NR600 (NR400's big brother) BTW is a great airflow case and was one of the cheapest airflow cases at the time i was shopping (this time last year). The NR400 doesnt leave much room for the GPU on my mATX board but might suit your ITX.

    Can confirm your girl problems are the first two, not the third. What I've heard in public a few times now is drunk girls yell out "I'd eff your car but not you!"

    Can someone please recommend me a text editor for chromeOS that is made for editing code in multiple languages. I used to use Gedit and notepad++ on my old netbook so I want something like this. I'm not liking bugs in crostini and graphics/load performance with crouton. I quite like the ChromeOS so I want to avoid installing linux as much as possible. Thank you.

    delays work for me. By the time stocks are up i might actually be able to afford one and dying light 2 might be released.

    I wish i hadn't given away my minix book. The intro has a great explanation of what an operating system is, like an abstraction layer, an API that removes the programmer from being bothered by differences in hardware. It's really a failure of Microsoft that industrial and military machines can't work with their latest secure OS. I'm still running my android music player that I made for Android 2.3

    But would I buy a mac mini over a top end Intel nuc? probably not. Remember when intel made a NUC with AMD GPUs? I bet those systems are still kicking it more than the new mac mini.

    na it takes years to commission and build a new warship. It takes years to lobby government to upgrade electronics. I remember there was a UK navy ship that was launched the year XP lost consumer support and was commissioned on XP based systems. I worked for a company that had some insight into software usage. One of our customers (non-government) had something like 40 ships all running small business server after this product was discontinued. Were talking a server 2003 running in 2014. Sometimes you can't just upgrade things. We also saw engineering firms with hardware worth millions running on windows NT/98/XP over a decade on with no plans to change the hardware because these automated machines were the lifeblood of their business.

    i find these deals are retailers clearing ageing stock to make room for an upcoming seasonal sale. We just had one 6 weeks before christmas and there will be another one on boxing day. Apple being a manufacturer doesnt have the same stock management problem.

    click the "shop for university" link on apple's website. That will take the price down a bit. You need more than 250GB. I had a macbook air back in 2016 and I filled 256GB up very fast.

    I'm tempted to cat fish this guy pretending to be AMD's CEO.

    "your reset switch can be used to switch between the different colour modes" BTW you dont want a case with tempered glass in the front. They get bad reviews on thermals

    clean install is faster than cloning and will do what i think you want.

    yea i got some! bluetooth speakers coz Ive been using headphones for almost a year, a chrome book coz my last two laptops were destroyed by alcohol, A new keyboard coz I also destroyed that with alcohol, and now some ear buds because I destroyed mine with sweat. Most of what I purchased is water proof so it should last!
  23. foldingNoob
    oh shit im getting some of these!

    i5 on a budget? Oh canadian rubles. I purchased a chrome book this week and I could not find a budget i5 in my price range. You will need to look second hand. Think pads seem to go the distance but be prepared to buy a new hard drive.

    I want to have two computers. One that bot posts kitten pictures to facebook as I sleep and one that I actually use. Both using the same mac address and hardware profile. Surely it can be done. It would also be cool if i could make my phone constantly declare myself at home all the time.
