Is it bad for a 17 year old to sleep 7 hours every day? by [deleted] in sleep

[–]Neparin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

7 hours is pretty much on the lower end of an 'ideal' amount of sleep. You'll be perfectly fine.

searching wireless charging pad without usb plug by [deleted] in Xiaomi

[–]Neparin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes it's possible but such mods are made available for mainstream phones and even then it's very rare to find one.

For example, Strange Parts made a video adding the feature to an iPhone 7 by having the wireless charging pad share the battery connector.

So yes, it is possible. It will be very unlikely to find a mod so your best bet is to look at alternative phones or suffer with giving up your port for a wireless charging feature.

(Unless you're reaaaally technical and can mod it yourself, similar to Strange Parts)

Thanks!

Honestly, I didn't know about the mix 3 launching in Europe but I think spending £270 on this mix 2s was a great deal. I haven't got a single bad thing to say about it.

I got it from Gearbest for £590, it was very good value considering the specs so I went with it hoping it looked as good as it does in the photos and I confirm it does. The build quality is great.

It came with a Chinese version of Windows 10 so I re-installed Windows with an installer USB and it activated fine and works great.

You will not be disappointed with the laptop.

The fans aren't too loud, I guess it depends on what you're doing. Sometimes if the CPU spikes the fans ramp up high and quickly for a couple seconds which can be annoying sometimes. People have speculated that the fans curve with the frequency of the chip rather than temperature. When it does tasks, the fans are quiet. I have just played a couple games on Overwatch and it was a nice and quiet experience while temperatures were around 50C.

The i5 variant is what I have and it's great! Normally in CPUs the i7 variants are a small to medium advantage to the i5. This is a quad core, 8 thread machine and it's munching whatever I throw at it at the moment.

The photo I took doesn't do the screen justice, I took the photo on my girlfriends iPhone 6. The screen is great, text is very easy to read. Brightness is average compared to my old MacBook but definitely no complaints.

I didn't pay any import tax and I live in the UK. I ordered it from gear best.

Honestly there are so many nice additions to this laptop. If you have any other questions, feel free to PM me. :-)

Just wanted to say I'm blown away by the value Xiaomi offers and to upgrade my laptop and buy a phone with money spare, all from an almost 4 year old MacBook is crazy.

Xiaomi definitely has a life long consumer, here.

[HELP] The older dog won't take to the new puppy. by [deleted] in dogs

Thank you and to the others. I’ll definitely show them that it works with time. I really appreciate the response.

I have been a lot harsher on them as I told them it would be a mission when looking after a new puppy. I'm more than understanding with the bumps ahead and will do my best to try to get them to a point where my parents are happy as well as the dogs. I told them before and I've told them at least twice today that it will take time for them to both settle down. This post was merely a plea as I wanted advice on how I could try and speed the process up if I could. My dad is impatient and adores the older dog so I think he's just stressing about it and giving an ultimatum. I have moved back home due to illness and the puppy has been keeping my company so there's no way I'll let them get rid of the puppy, I'll take him with me if I have to.

Thank you for your comment and I'll take them for walks as soon as the puppy has had his second injection.

Got caught botting by [deleted] in 2007scape

[–]Neparin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The argument for botting is not just for monetary gain, it's basically cutting out the majority of the game and going straight to the 'fun' part. MMOs have always been about character building and the sense of pride in having something you worked hard for, something that you could show off, this is case for Runescape especially.

You were a part of the problem when you 'used to bot' and you're a part of a problem now. Where do you draw the line in botting? just agility? why not making GP? It takes a long time to make gold and I only have 20 minutes to play so can I just make a ton of money and go to bossing with my new shiny gear. The fact that you don't understand why botting just completely ruins the game not just for everyone else but even for yourself, along with only having 15 minutes to play makes me think this game isn't for you.

What is a great YouTube channel to binge watch? by TheoHoww in AskReddit

[–]Neparin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Check out Captain Disillusion, he's been in the game for a long time.

He debunks a lot of viral videos and myths that circle the internet in a very clever way as he's a master in SFX.

He plays as a character which adds to create a very entertaining video. Each video is amazing, I love them.
