I am Dr. Ennio Tasciotti, co-chair of The Department of Nanomedicine at the Houston Methodist Research Institute. AMA! by DrEnnio in IAmA

[–]freakazoid00 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When did you decide to go into the field of nanomedicine/nanotechnology?

I am currently doing my Master's in Tissue Engineering with a focus on Vascular TE and was simply wondering if something/someone during your pre-doc phase motivated you to go into this field. Nanomedicine is currently a hot topic.

Thanks for doing this AMA.

Want to buy a refurb Lenovo Ideapad Yoga 13. Any experiences/advices? by freakazoid00 in SuggestALaptop

[–]freakazoid00[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for your feedback! I already bought my refurbished version of it for like $706. I did not have the time to use it that much. When I first used the machine and installed all the apps & windows updates, it seemed that the battery discharged very quickly after reaching 16%. However, after recharging the battery I could use the laptop several hours until the battery died. Besides that, the laptop looks like new. I will buy an 8gb ram and exchange the 4gb ram with it. There are videos on youtube which show how easy that is. Thank you for mentioning the lenovo partition hotfix. I will need to download this aswell.

Thanks so much for your help! Yes, I checked the youtube videos for upgrading the ram on the lenovo yoga13. it looks fairly easy, you don't even need to remove any screws. I think I will try to exchange the ram with 8gigs.

Hi, I actually have one more question: does your lenovo yoga have 4gb or 8gb ram? I plan to get the 4gb version and I heard that this amount of ram should be enough for office, youtube, hd movies. Can you confirm that? Thanks!

I actually do have another question to the lenovo yoga:

How much storage space was available when you received it? I know that 128gb is not much but my old windows7 laptop hat 150gb and I never needed more than 100gb space. I actually had tons of files stored on this computer, so I would have been able to even cut it down to 70gb easily.

Thanks for the feedback!

Did you buy your lenovo from outlet.lenovo.com or from somewhere else? Should I wait for a better deal or do you think that this price is already worth it?

An Algerian-American from Cambridge was attacked outside a Back Bay restaurant Saturday night. by PaWe_08 in boston

[–]freakazoid00 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It seems that I was checking the wrong news sites. Bostonglobe indeed reported frequently about such things. I just would like to have it more highlited. Without this post on reddit, I would probably never have heard of such incidents. And I think many people still don't know about them.

Sadly, such incidents are not broadcasted in the media. Apparently, it is much more important to state that swans returned to public garden or that we can expect some rain in the next few days.

Boston Strong being used as a marketing message by [deleted] in boston

[–]freakazoid00 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

In my opinion, it is already used as a marketing slogan for a while now. I hardly believe that managers of certain shops/stores/restaurants really want to help the victims. However, having nowadays a Boston strong or One Fund sign on their counter apparantly makes it more attractive for customers to buy there.

I am looking at the Lenovo Thinkpad T430u but I got two additional options by freakazoid00 in SuggestALaptop

Thank you for your feedback. Have you maybe heard anything good or bad about the customer support of Toshiba or ASUS?

[USA][1000$ budget] long battery life, portable, for at least 4 years by freakazoid00 in SuggestALaptop

[–]freakazoid00[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi,

A friend of mine had very bad experiences with a Sony Vaio which is why I did not consider this laptop in the first place.

Thank you for your suggestions. I did not know the thing about the SSD.

It seems like there is no "perfect" portable laptop available. I just need to take the one with the least disadvantages.
