Needs a bit more organizing but good thread! Should be stickied and improved upon! But then again, if they aren't reading the other threads, they probably won't read this... :doh

Thanks :)

Yeah, I wrote down some stuff I for sure wanted to include and kind of made a thread out of it.

Oh do hope I organized it in such a way people would open the spoiler and see some useful advice.

That is why some stuff is repeated.

And I understand not everyone reads those threads, but I hope at least someone will learn something from it.

Oh, you did! Sorry I wasn't clear, it is organized! :blush:  I meant that everything is sort of aligned to the far left (towards the user info bits) but should flow more evenly towards the center. The organization of the spoilers and whatnot is actually great the way it is. :)

 

So what I mean is something more like this;

 

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. Ut enim ad minim veniam, quis nostrud exercitation ullamco laboris nisi ut aliquip ex ea commodo consequat. Duis aute irure dolor in reprehenderit in voluptate velit esse cillum dolore eu fugiat nulla pariatur. Excepteur sint occaecat cupidatat non proident, sunt in culpa qui officia deserunt mollit anim id est laborum.

 

Instead of something like this;

 

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua.

Ut enim ad minim veniam, quis nostrud exercitation ullamco laboris nisi ut aliquip ex ea commodo consequat.

Duis aute irure dolor in reprehenderit in voluptate velit esse cillum dolore eu fugiat nulla pariatur.

Excepteur sint occaecat cupidatat non proident, sunt in culpa qui officia deserunt mollit anim id est laborum.

 

I'm sure some people will read it but sadly most of the people who signed up probably won't log in again unless it is to check if they were PM'd or something so it won't get the much needed attention. :(

 

I have also added it to my signature.

Maybe add that nonsense and personal ravings should be kept to status updates as opposed to the off topic subforum :)

Don't ask to ask, just ask... please 🤨

Sauron'stm Product Scores:

Spoiler

Just a list of my personal scores for some products, in no particular order, with brief comments. I just got the idea to do them so they aren't many for now :)

Don't take these as complete reviews or final truths - they are just my personal impressions on products I may or may not have used, summed up in a couple of sentences and a rough score. All scores take into account the unit's price and time of release, heavily so, therefore don't expect absolute performance to be reflected here.

 

-Lenovo Thinkpad X220 - [8/10]

Spoiler

A durable and reliable machine that is relatively lightweight, has all the hardware it needs to never feel sluggish and has a great IPS matte screen. Downsides are mostly due to its age, most notably the screen resolution of 1366x768 and usb 2.0 ports.

 

-Apple Macbook (2015) - [Garbage -/10]

Spoiler

From my perspective, this product has no redeeming factors given its price and the competition. It is underpowered, overpriced, impractical due to its single port and is made redundant even by Apple's own iPad pro line.

 

-OnePlus X - [7/10]

Spoiler

A good phone for the price. It does everything I (and most people) need without being sluggish and has no particularly bad flaws. The lack of recent software updates and relatively barebones feature kit (most notably the lack of 5GHz wifi, biometric sensors and backlight for the capacitive buttons) prevent it from being exceptional.

 

-Microsoft Surface Book 2 - [Garbage - -/10]

Spoiler

Overpriced and rushed, offers nothing notable compared to the competition, doesn't come with an adequate charger despite the premium price. Worse than the Macbook for not even offering the small plus sides of having macOS. Buy a Razer Blade if you want high performance in a (relatively) light package.

 

-Intel Core i7 2600/k - [9/10]

Spoiler

Quite possibly Intel's best product launch ever. It had all the bleeding edge features of the time, it came with a very significant performance improvement over its predecessor and it had a soldered heatspreader, allowing for efficient cooling and great overclocking. Even the "locked" version could be overclocked through the multiplier within (quite reasonable) limits.

 

-Apple iPad Pro - [5/10]

Spoiler

A pretty good product, sunk by its price (plus the extra cost of the physical keyboard and the pencil). Buy it if you don't mind the Apple tax and are looking for a very light office machine with an excellent digitizer. Particularly good for rich students. Bad for cheap tinkerers like myself.

Great thread. It'd be stupid not to make this thread sticky. Though, it could use some better formating, wording, etc. At least in my eyes.

Thanks :D

Yeah, I am not that good at formatting and writing in general.

I would appreciate if this became a sticky thread as some of these tricks are not featured in the other threads mentioned

It's simple... Bold for title, underlined for notice, italic for notice text. Or something like that. I'm sure you could use some tricks as seen on the forum..

Didn't somebody try this before and then it never took off?

 

Here's the link to the old one:

http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/202456-the-ultimate-posting-topics-correctly-guide/

Sorry for the late reply :P

Yeah, I saw that one but IMO it just missed some things :P

Now that I look back at my post, it isn't amazing too.. But hey, maybe I'll improve it some day.

 

Someone! Admins! Pin this! Sticky!
