Most laptops that ship with windows 10 are capable of running 11. I recommend finding out if the schools provides a license. When I was attending Phoenix online a couple years ago they supplied me with a windows 10 education license through Microsoft.

I'm in the same thought process as you. I was sure ryzen had ECC support all the way back with gen 1 which was an awesome feature compared to the way Intel is doing it. I also remember it was up to the motherboard vendor to build in support ?

That google play HTC m8 was chefs kiss, I also loved the m8 for windows.

This guy gets it. No need to gatekeep either way you let it hang.

I believe an others have said a nice 1 or 2tb SSD that is PCI based should help out. Picking up an additional 16GB of ram isn’t necessary but neither is any of this and would likely let your system last even longer. There’s also a good chance your b450 motherboard supports newer x3d variants of the 5000 series ryzen CPUs through a BIOS upgrade. If you have a microcenter you can try to snag one of the 5600x3d processors or snag a used 5800x3d or maybe one on sale.

Fellow Michigander here. I’m located towards Flint in Mount Morris and I can agree that public transportation is a joke. Where I live it isn’t as feasible either, as there is more rural homes.

The watch has a great size and screen to start with. The main demerits are the poor battery life and locking features behind a paywall. There are features provided with similar products like the Apple Watch that are locked behind a fit bit subscription.

You’re right about the vagueness. I didn’t want to spill about it unless someone wanted the details. Which would you like to know about the watch or the phone?

I’d say it’s not worth it unless it’s super cheap. I have one I bought at full price that has been in its box since I bought it. Used it for one week to really give it a go. The issues I had with it in combination with the pixel 6 I also don’t use anymore are the reason I am losing faith in Google’s vision of Android hardware.

I’m really interested in the tab s9 series. Anything stand out to you such as performance or screen quality? I really want to get another Android tablet to replace my old tab s6 but I really want something more performant for the money.

I listened to this today and I believe they have a lot of potential to last. They’re working out some kinks like audio but I know they’re all more than smart enough to get it. Getting sponsors for hardware reviews is going to be crucial too.

I didn’t know they had their last episode until Jason mentioned it on another show. Pretty shitty it happened but I think that the new show can be just as good and hopefully better!
