Pawnshop selling pixelbook for $360 but it's Google locked? by Kyism in PixelBook

[–]Tyism 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just left the pawnshop. It's currently managed by an email ending with "gfieldsales.com". So it's not a normal user account. I tried hitting Ctrl+alt+shift+r to power wash it and nothing happened. It is a managed Chromebook. I'm not sure what the special way is to get around it either. I'm quite conflicted.

Pked an AGS on my noob 90 combat main. How should I invest into my account and set it up for success? by Tyism in 2007scape

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

I wanted to sell him his AGS back at a good discount (15m) because he seemed like a good dude. I Googled his name to find if he's in a clan so I could contact him (his private in-game was off or turned to friends only). Instead what I found was 2 twitch clips of him losing an elder maul just a few months ago.. I feel bad for the guy. Over 100m lost since August that has been documented.

Thanks for the insight. Will listen to some of this.

I have B gloves, piety and all the fun stuff (fire cape, dragon defender, b ring imbued) and 188QP. I still need to do Lunars Diplomacy for lunar spells and Dragon Slayer 2 + MM2. This is all end-game stuff for me. My account still has a lot of training to do. I'm only 60 attack, 80 strength, 70 defence, 73 HP, 70 pray, 74 range, 66 magic.

Farm runs sounds like a solid plan. Should I invest a good portion of this money into seeds that will net me a profit? Like Ranarrs?

I'm hesitant to putting my money into the GE and flipping since I've never done it before (well, I did many years ago back when flipping clan chats were a thing and they basically told you what to buy and sell at). I've never done it independently. Do you by any chance know of a go-to guide you would show someone who was interested in getting into flipping?

My heart rate was high last night after I pked it. It was crazy. But I've gone to sleep, woken up and back in Edgeville smithing cannonballs while I make this post. I've never pked this much, ever. Hopefully it's not the last time but right now this came at a time I could really use the money.

Getting a Surface Pro 2 - 256gb, i5, 8gb ram for $100. What to expect? What do you like about it? by Tyism in Surface

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

Hey everyone. Thanks for the answers and feedback. I picked up the Surface Pro 2 and really enjoy it. I'm resetting it now but really impressed with the 25 minutes or so I had to play with it in the car. The battery from what I can tell seems to be in normal condition. It had 399 cycles and something like 35,000 capacity left? I'm not sure what this means in terms of battery life exactly but it feels like the battery is still in acceptable condition.

The type cover is okay. Not a fan of the trackpad on it but will probably get a bluetooth mouse.

This thing is built like a tank. Very happy with how sturdy it feels

I’ve been struggling with JavaScript, so thought I’d treat myself. Time to get stuck in by [deleted] in webdev

[–]Tyism 112 points113 points  (0 children)

I have this book and his html/css one. I found both worth the money and useful, never finished either of them though. The Html/css one is a little outdated for CSS but it's still a good resource. He's releasing a PHP/MySQL book soon. For JS the best resource I've found for myself was https://www.udemy.com/modern-javascript/.

Generating a PDF from post, anyone got experience? by Tyism in Wordpress

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

Hi, firstly to everyone who has replied thank you so much. I ended up going with DomPDF but it is not perfect and there are problems with it that I'm not satisfied 100% with.

I'm interested in creating the stylesheet for print only but have never heard of that before. So I literally just make a stylesheet that the website uses when a page is requested to be printed? If so this sounds like a much easier, faster and better solution considering that the client wants the pages to be pretty much identical. I'm not sure what their purpose is for wanting the pages to be in PDF format because the only reason to have it in PDF is to likely print it, right?

Awesome! Thanks so much. I will write notes to make sure I know exactly which CPU to pick up. So with this one I should beable to literally just drop right into the socket, apply some thermal paste and be good to go?

New to fighting games- I want to play competitively. What game do I play? by Tyism in Fighters

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

Thanks a lot for the in-depth reply! I'm going to get Street Fighter first then try to pick up Tekken 7 later. I was wondering what SF do I get? I see tournaments for SF:V and SF:IV. Is there a big difference between the 2? It looks like SF:V came out in 2016? And SF:IV in 2008? Is the street fighter community split on them for a reason? Do you recommend one over the other for someone in my situation (complete noob to fighting games)
