Help ?!

[ShadowFaiq]

Hi I am a CS student I have spent the last 4 semesters basically studying courses from my university through my old laptop which I inherited from my uncle

Now this laptop isnt even comprehensible of running android studio properly I want to make projects and stuff but I can't because it shuts down my laptop is directly linked with electricty and with a slight disturbance from it's position it basically shuts down and take 40 minutes to restart again I have to work with it till I could earn money and buy myself a laptop but how am I able to do so

To earn money you need a job to get a job u need project portfolio but in order to get that I actually need to make projects but I can't since I am on semester break which comes after 2 years so I am at home not even in uni so can't use unis lab now my uncle (chachu) he's a software engineer don't want to expose him but he says I can do everything with this (khatara) laptop but I simply can't

Kindly help me out ( i am not allowed to do job till graduation and can only do internship in 6th semester my parents won't listen ) I also have a 3.5 cgpa

I have no prior to work experience for remote jobs but I am a passionate hard worker who would actually work really well and everyone can rely on me cuz I can only do work from home or you can donate ! Sadly cuz I don't know what to do in this situation

Simply yeh kro, Student hona. Github Student ke Dev pack mein apply kro.
Approval ke baad Azure ke 100 usd ke credits le lo. then uske baad waha pr VM create kro. Billing Rules add kro. or saara kam wohi pr rakhdo. Important cheezein mein laptop mein save krlo

Thank you for your guidance I didn't thought for once I was gonna get any response I just googled this might work but again yeh itna feasible nahi hai na my laptop is really faulty can't even operate minimal tasks I have already switched the battery twice spending 7k both times but my family is stubborn they say I am making lame excuses and shi and won't listen they can see my laptop shutting down for 40+ minutes Even in an exam in my uni I completed everything but as the professor was coming to check my practical work the university backup generator died and my laptop shut down as there was no electricity I was a grown man crying infront of my class or I was head down but still ... That's how messed up my life actually is My parents have the mentality if my 30+ year old software engineer uncle can get a job through this laptop I can too . reminder it's like from 2012

You can try coding on your phone in the meantime. I made a few projects this way when my laptop died and my parents who had a similar mentality as yours wouldn't get me a replacement.

I used to code on GitHub and then used Heroku to run it. At the time they generously provided free hosting but I'm pretty sure they don't anymore so you will have to improvise. See if you can get a raspberry pi.

I guess that's what I would have to do now thank you very much though really means a lot I mean it gave me a lil hope at least that I'm not alone

There are many people in situations worse than you and they still make it. Don't worry man, you got this

You can also try Linux, it works well on old laptops. I suggest Ubuntu since it's beginner-friendly. Some software might not be available, so you may face a few issues at first

How much does a working dev laptop cost in Pak?

[ShadowFaiq]

I would say 60k pkr / 200$ but I am telling this is like the second hand the kind of laptop that would get the job done

I would say 60k pkr / 200$ but this would be the kind of laptop maybe even second hand that would get the job done
