A new laptop is likely in my future, as it seems like it would be the only thing I wouldn't regret buying. So many choices though and not wanting to spend a grand. lol

Edit: Didn't know that AMD had processor chips in laptops now. The Ryzen 5, i5 or i7 or Ryzen 7 is surely where I'm going. I'm going to take myself down this research rabbit hole.

Man, you can get a boy - I stand corrected. Never mind...

Ryzen's been killing it lately. Budget wise, they're a lot better option to consider than Intel.

University senate just decided that ALL exams that do not require a lab, must be held online. For me, that's 6/6.

I'm going to have 6-7, possibly more lab excercises, with no more than 15 people in the same room. That's pretty much all the time I'll have to spend at college building.

That's good to know, thank you for that. I see that the graphics processor with those seems to be better too over the Intel. I have had my current laptop for 5 years (of course, the battery was changed out almost 2 years ago, so it's fine). It's interesting how much technology can change in that time span/

Wow that sounds like a big shift. I wish you good luck with them.

Hoooly [insert MIA's favourite emoji]. What the hell was VW thinking with the new Golf VIII ad.

On top of all the things in it, it even spells the N-word for a brief moment.

And that's a company founded by no one else but the Führer himself. Nice way to clean up your reputation.

Some really out of touch people in management these days. No way that should ever happen unless you have a rubber stamp sitting behind a desk.

I just hope they don't say the slur was an accident, because the odds of 4 symbols to allign in a specific order in a short period of time, and still be readable are super low. Yeah, that won't hold water.

At first I thought someone was trying to be edgy funny, or something like that (there are plenty of ads that are anything but orthodox and still do it quite good), but the more I think of it, it just seems like a pure racism.

There are already people who are not fine with this, but that's the way it goes. You can't make everyone happy. But honestly I don't care how disappointed they are. I neither wan't to die or a loose a whole school year, so this is a perfect compromise.

Had a very productive conversation today about the side business opportunity. Looks like I need to calculate some math and figure out what expenses I will incur to start and what I want to write off.

Yup, gonna get a number through Fi or Mint mobile for the Mi 9 for sure.

Oh, and I tested out the Webcam today on the Flex 14 for the first time. It is way better than I thought...nice and clean. Don't plan to use it a lot, but it's good to know that it's quite serviceable.

Nice, it sounds like you are making great progress. Will you get a number for the Mi 9 and possibly transfer the sim to the 2020 SE next year?
