Some build advice:

  • Be safe - don't wear socks, stand on a hard floor if possible, ground yourself if you have a wrist strap for that, and discharge any static by touching metal and/or the case before touching any components. And no matter what, DO NOT open the power supply, and definitely don't touch anything in it!
  • The huge motherboard connector probably requires more force than comfortable.
  • Watch through at least one build guide before starting. That way you know the process.

Hope that helps, and don't let it scare you away - it's really fun to do and if you're careful, chances are nothing major will go wrong.

The first programmer was a woman (Ada Lovelace), the person who laid the foundation for all modern computing was gay (Alan Turing), and the person who revolutionized modern chip design was trans (Lynn Conway). Computer science history is filled with queerness and diversity.

Some people just like the music and are either bad at media analysis or don't care enough to look into to further than the surface level.

There's this cool thing at&t did where even if you have volte and 4g, your phone still won't work if it isn't on their specific whitelist.

Had a very fun time after I missed a phone interview because of that.

I mean as long as it's apple and not some small company or individual, they can extort away.

On most distros you don't need to restart to update. Mint will just put an icon on the taskbar when updates are ready, and you can even tell it to just do it in the background. No restarts or shutdown warnings.

Even if he's doing it for the appearance, it's good that union support is popular enough that politicians want to seem pro-union.

When you're making tim sweeny look like a good person you know you've fucked up big time.

Their browser is webkit on iOS since apple doesn't allow anything else on that platform. The mac version is also webkit. And the android version is - you guess it - blink, the engine used by chromium.
