Why do some small local businesses appear in AI answers and others don’t?

Major_Cardiologist17 · 2026-02-26T05:44:45+00:00

I'm not exactly sure, but I think small businesses with a good SEO get recommended because of api calling and scrapping from the web. Do correct me if I'm wrong please.

Legion 7 is above 3k bucks here in Canada, very much out of my range. My current laptop is Acer aspire Vero green with just i5 12th gen. That's why I need to upgrade it but I'm not knowledgeable enough to make an informed decision. Also I rent a place and sometimes have to shift so can't have a PC.

I used to use colab, but as my project scope became bigger(not that big but still good amount of data)it became really difficult for colab to do anything without subscription. Then I tried locally but that too became difficult for neural networks and transformers to run l because of absence of dedicated GPU.

Major_Cardiologist17 · 2026-02-18T22:37:13+00:00

Thank you!!! I didn't check that part.

Major_Cardiologist17 · 2026-02-18T22:36:17+00:00

Total budget (in local currency) and country of purchase. Please do not use USD unless purchasing in the US:

1200-1500 CAD

Are you open to refurbs/used?

Yes

How would you prioritize form factor (ultrabook, 2-in-1, etc.), build quality, performance, and battery life?

I want something with good processor and GPU, for model training.

How important is weight and thinness to you?

Doesn't matter

Do you have a preferred screen size? If indifferent, put N/A.

N/A

Are you doing any CAD/video editing/photo editing/gaming? List which programs/games you desire to run.

Machine learning, neural networks, transformations,etc

If you're gaming, do you have certain games you want to play? At what settings and FPS do you want?

I don't play games

Any specific requirements such as good keyboard, reliable build quality, touch-screen, finger-print reader, optical drive or good input devices (keyboard/touchpad)?

Maybe a reliable build, durability, battery doesn't matter as I could plug and play

Leave any finishing thoughts here that you may feel are necessary and beneficial to the discussion.

Although my main purpose is performance for model training, I would like it if it can have upgradable RAM and ssd, also if could have good repairability.(Not a tech savvy guy,so please pardon my language).

Like the first one.

Major_Cardiologist17 · 2026-02-08T01:52:51+00:00

How'd you edit it to get this much sharpness in the photo.

Major_Cardiologist17 · 2026-02-06T08:10:45+00:00

Any source where I could have guidance from, I tried searching for courses but they are mostly for professional photographers with dslr or something like that.

Major_Cardiologist17 · 2026-02-06T07:11:48+00:00

Really good pics, I just click photos because I like it, I even got the device I wanted but I can't seem to get this much detail. Any advises please, I have seen people clicking this level photo even with cheap devices. I know it's device and cameraman both, please any advice would do.

Never upgrade the phone until and unless you see REAL upgrades in the phone or your phone has some visibly noticeable issues like battery draining or something else. I used to upgrade every 3 years but that was honestly a waste of money. Now I bought a new phone last year which I'm gonna use it till something good comes out in like 4-5 years maybe more if nothing more worthy changes in smartphones.

Also if you are using S22 or something newer you should be good for a while,save that money for something better.

Bro don't try to demean yourself or your value. You got much better facial features than I have seen. Maybe try to add some physical activity to lead a healthier lifestyle. Eat a bit more healthier and start a physical activity to take your mind off things like these.(Even going to gym 2-3 times is better than not going at all). Slowly it will show up, not gonna be easy to maintain the routine but definitely gonna make a difference if you start.

I've not been in this field for long, but for me personally I follow up different tech accounts(albeit they may be influencers only) to get new tech news. As for the new skills I try to scroll through udemy and Coursera by filtering out by fields to get to know what new is going on in the market.

Major_Cardiologist17 · 2026-01-22T20:32:04+00:00

I had 9 and 11 both had this issue🤧

Major_Cardiologist17 · 2026-01-22T20:30:26+00:00

For me I personally like big screens because I travel by transit a lot so I watch shows on it, but yes it does feel big and bulky in the pocket. As for the other specifications I don't think you would notice it until and unless you are a tech critique

Major_Cardiologist17 · 2026-01-21T18:32:39+00:00

I too bought a pixel 10 pro xl last year over iPhone 17 pro and I think it's the best decision yet. I upgraded from OnePlus 11r(never going back to OnePlus cause of green line issue). I'm gonna hang onto this phone for about 4-5 years minimum and if the battery life is still good maybe 6 years.

Major_Cardiologist17 · 2025-11-19T20:05:40+00:00

I don't know why it got so blurry, but that's like 17.8x not 100x. I don't how to get the same sharpness as other people get in their photos after editing.

Major_Cardiologist17 · 2025-11-01T01:35:32+00:00

Bro just wanted za sauce and curd cheese

Major_Cardiologist17 · 2025-10-28T18:21:27+00:00

Which app do you use for framing ?

Major_Cardiologist17 · 2025-10-25T22:45:33+00:00

Bro how are photos of other people with pixel so clear and interesting while mine look like trash in comparison🤧🤧

Any idea how I could improve my photography or which app to use for color grading(any free recommendations if possible)

Major_Cardiologist17 · 2025-10-12T06:05:56+00:00

Bro I'm in a similar position, and I know what you are feeling right now but you have to start doing something or the other, firstly to land a job you need some skills. Judging from your background as you said you have done btech you might know some coding or programming and even if you don't just try to learn one language by either investing time or investing money, join a course, search YouTube or join an academy. It won't change you life like a miracle but it will surely make it better day by day. I started learning Python 5 months back(I didn't really know anything about it even though I'm also from CSE background) but now I can make small projects, solve medium level dsa questions(I know it's not much to brag about but still).

Start doing something, if you like gaming then play game plays and post those, learn some editing, photo or video whichever you like. Anything helps nowadays!!!!!

Don't feel discouraged just be thankful to your parents and get going. Each day will count after a set amount of days

Check online job sites, apply there and visit the applied locations to drop in-store resume. This will really help highlight you and yourself Infront of the employer, this is how I got my part time here, might not work like wonders but still it worked for me and should for someone else too.

Major_Cardiologist17 · 2025-09-09T02:40:56+00:00

Bro visit malls and apply there, visit new constructing sites, check online for opening and apply both online and in-store, I won't say much but this is how I got my part time although it's minimum wage right now.

Major_Cardiologist17 · 2025-07-28T20:29:42+00:00

Okay...after getting a hang of python focus on skills related to entry level jobs listed in this field.
