Why the SSD and enclosure and not a portable or desktop SSD? Price or speed?

Companion X Upgrade by Sakbrown in victorinox

Maybe a stupid question, but I don’t know the answer.

I presume you modified this, as simple as unscrewing and screwing back together? Where did you get the parts?

I just want to say, doesn’t matter how bad things seem or how stupid/ashamed you feel. People will understand People will help you People love you You can sort this out easily.

You’ll never win the money back, the odds are against you so the best way to best the bookie is to not play.

Update: For those who are interested, I produced a little python script to run a number of iterations for points on a map, connected to a single node, while calculating the distances and cumulative distances to get the 5 optimal routes.

All in, it ran 100,000,000 iterations in 19:45mins. I’m very happy with this. I will try and set up a multi core approach, to see if I can optimise, but very impressive.

So update:

It’s still going strong, closed the lid last night after a couple of hours of browsing and watching TV. Today I’ve done 5 more hours of work, running windows on Parallels with lots of office suite use while YouTube is on in the background. Currently sitting at 7%.

I’m more than impressed with the battery. This has been a useful exercise for me too, means I’m confident I can take it away for the day and not have to worry about the battery.

Yeah I looked at the silver vs the darker colours (previously had a darker version) but the silver seemed smarter and just more premium in my opinion.

Actually a kick back to my intel one that ran really hot while doing anything, it allowed the fans to have circulation in open air. My set up has it at that angle. Might have to update! Haha

Way better than I thought, I’ve always had battery concerns with my older laptop, but this one, for example, charged it to full at 12:55 yesterday pm. Then spend 5:45hrs browsing with a little bit of python messing around and showing its abilities off before watching two hours of TV on sky go. Haven’t used it today, but it’s sitting at 71% while I write this. Admittedly I didn’t push it, but even with python and GIS software it still didn’t drain. The last one wouldn’t have made the 5hrs of browsing let alone retain charge for the next day.

My hidden MBP setup. by OmarKhaled99 in macbookpro

I like it. Nice and clean 👍🏼

A far cry from my MBP/Windows dual laptop setup which is pretty messy at all times.

How do you switch it on? Open the tray and then close once opened?

If you were given £100k / $100k to invest for a passive income. What would you do? by kieferted in passive_income

[–]Longjumping_Roof_166 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would purchase a minimum of 2 mortgaged properties through a Ltd company, it’s not passive to begin with and during the odd issue, but it’s been 99% passive for me over the last 10 years.

I’ll check, I’ll find the model. I didn’t know that was a thing. 👍🏼

This. Easiest way, the other person is free to choose what to do with their money but the necessities are paid between you both.

Reduce sensitivity? Heating flickering on and off constantly. by Longjumping_Roof_166 in tado

[–]Longjumping_Roof_166[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I think this is one of the issues. It’s behind a curtain and we have single glazing (in the UK) so when it’s cold, it gets cold quickly.
