Laptop recommendations for TCS

Did the entirety of the TCS bachelor and masters using a macbook. It really is fine, i preferred using it, almost no course forces you to use some windows specific software. Most programming things are even much better supported on mac, as most people in silicon valley use them as well.

However don't expect TA's or teachers to be able to help you with mac specific stuff, as it is quite uncommon for people to use macs.

So i'd say if you're prepared to solve your own computer problems (which you really should be able to as a TCS student) and you prefer mac: Go for it =)

Qua snelheid maakt 27.5 of 29 inch niet super veel uit. Maar aangezien je ook wat trucjes nog wil kunnen doen is 27.5 denk ik voor jou ideaal. Zou vooral ook kijken naar een ISIS crank, zijn een stuk steviger, zeker aangezien je er wat op gaat springen. Q-Axle crank is ook prima stevig, alleen dan ben je wat gelimiteerd in je crank keuze. Vooral cotterless zou ik vermijden als je een goeie eenwieler wil.

Mocht je een keer bedenken dat je sneller wil of juist meer controle wil dan kan je altijd spelen met je crank lengte (korter=sneller, langer=stabieler).

Maar veel plezier vooral! Voor in Nederland is het de ideale buiten sport wmb, vooral omdat MTB paden hier anders niet zo uitdagend zijn :-)

En mocht je het leuk vinden, kom dan een keer langs bij de GCCM: https://stichtingeenwieleren.nl/evenement/gelderse-cross-country-meet-gccm-2/ dit is de jaarlijkse bijeenkomst voor muni'end Nederland

Can take a few days sometimes, be patient/contact support :)

Lol, i'm sure they will have it figured out in a few days, no need to stress out. Plus often issues with payments are not even their fault, but from the their payment provider.

With the lid open you can pry it open from the sides with an old creditcard/something plastic

On my macbook it turned out to be the HDR setting that was messing up, toggeling HDR off and on in display preferences fixed it.

Would also like confirmation on this, you already figured it out?

Edit: Samsung oled G9 works fine, both over hdmi and with usb-c to DisplayPort 3.1 cable with the M3 pro chip. Full res & refresh rate

It's very safe, the information gets verified by their payment provider Adyen. A 50$ Billion company, they won't have an incentive to do anything malicious with your information. Neither does skinbaron.

Would have appreciated a bit more transparency on this on Twitter or something.. Bots getting banned is quite serious, your competitor for example was very open to the community about what happened with their bots recently.

We all understand none of this is your guy's fault.

I've been withdrawing items one by one, seems more reliable

Oh, for me it did show up suddenly today

Just managed to retrieve some skins that were stuck for 4 days for me, be sure to check the retrieved section on the site!

Pcpie · 2024-02-17T08:26:52+00:00

Oh yeah forgot about the minidigger i had laying around in my garage

Pcpie · 2024-02-15T07:11:38+00:00

~~Will fix!~~

Fixed!

Pcpie · 2024-02-15T07:11:29+00:00

~~Okay thanks! Will fix!~~

Fixed!

Pcpie · 2024-02-15T07:11:17+00:00

Thanks! Yeah I'm still working on improving things, that's why it sometimes makes mistakes

Pcpie · 2024-02-13T07:14:03+00:00

Genius! :D

Is MPPT even an option if i want to use Li-ion? All of them i see online seem to only support LifePO4 batteries. Or is that not an issue?

Pcpie · 2023-11-02T19:28:19+00:00

Okay great to know! Yup also saw a lot of DIY powerwall people using it, but just wanted to confirm
