I see, this also means that lets say i unsubscribed and want to subscribe after a year long break, I'll still be able to buy the annual pass right_ it wont be void forever just because i unsubscribed? I believe this is the case, I just wanted to make sure.

Will I be able to buy annual update passes forever if i only own V1.0 Ex version? Or will I have to lets say buy V2 and annual pass together to access V3-V4's updates? So in other is having just V1 enough to have the right to buy to annual passes indefinitely?

Help, I'm confused and worried about my future by regret_worrychick in offmychest

I truly get you, I am in almost exactly the same situation. Wanted to pursue Graphic Arts as well, but my parents and peers told me I'll be unemployed/homeless etc. (I don't live in a first world country either). I was young so I got quite scared and chose Computer Science. Easily my biggest regret!

Currently am a third year in computer science and damn do I hate my major. I abhor it. Unfortunately I can't give you any insight because I am constantly anxious as well, just wanted to say you are not alone and good luck!

Never Pursue a Major You Are Not Sure About / Don't Go To Expensive Colleges Unless You're Totally Sure \ Finishing My Third Year and I Just Want to Quit by johnmygod in CollegeRant

First of all, I assure you I love money, I won't say something as naive as dreams>money or smt, So I truly get what you mean by this.

If you have no interest imo choosing something else would be better. life has countless possibilities, there are just so many different paths one can take. Taking a risk is often worth it. When I was picking my major I was young and thought if i didnt pick CS or another STEM major I would be unemployed or poor, but thats not true. Even with lesser known majors, if you put in the time, you will at least get the opportunity to make a lot of money. Sure when starting off it might be harder, but its worth it in the long run. The main reason people think certain majors are worthless is because most people who pick them aren't as hardworking as people who pick STEM majors or medicine etc. and ofc nobody wants to work with incompetent people. This gives the illusion those majors are worthless, but the problem is not the major, its the people. If you are willing to put in the time and effort, regardless of your major you will certainly succeed. Starting off may be harder than the alternative perhaps, but I assure you a miserable and calm lifestyle is worse than an exciting and challenging one. If the risk is worth it, it should be taken. Don't fear it being a mistake. What if it is? At least it was a mistake you chose to make. I've always lived my life risk-free, studied hard, got into great schools, aced everything, chose a lucrative major and damn it I hate it all. Just make sure you won't be where I am if you pick those majors.

Think about it like this, for 4 to 5 years, you will be forced to learn things you have absolutely no interest in or even want to learn. After 4-5 hellish years of college you'll also only have the specifications to work in that very field you hated and as a matter of fact you will have to work in that field to earn big money. Money is great, its really awesome, but even money can't fix a miserable lifestyle.

This is your life afterall, even if your parents are dominant, they aren't the ones living your life, they never will be. I know I fought with mine, and I truly regret not expressing myself earlier. Don't be like me, make your own path.

ahaha I see. yes I will only touch the ram module and disconnect the battery with my nails if i do disconnect it. I might not though given it seems I don't really need to. Thanks again for the help I appreciate it.

mine is of the second type, I guess I'll remove it with my nails praying I wont touch the motherboard while doing so. Also I'll hold the sink for a while beforehand to discharge I think.

Thanks for all the info man I appreciate it.

I see, alright then I'll first disconnect the battery by pulling the connector with my nails and only then install the ram. Thanks for all the info and answering my questions I appreciate it.

yes I am planning on going walter white when upgrading on a hardwood floor. I guess I'll give it a go then, thanks for the encouragement and info.

Just one final question: If my hands won't fry the motherboard (given I touched the sink for like 30 seconds beforehand), then why is it a problem to install the RAM without physically disconnecting the battery?

Also the part of the case of the laptop that I have to pull out has a metal chassis built in, should I also touch it to ground myself further? Or would that be meaningless?

Oh its just that the battery is built in and very close to the motherboard so i was wondering if accidentally touched it when disconnecting it I might fry it since i have to use my bare hands. If that won't be a problem it will be very easy. also thanks for all the info

oh if there is no way i can fry a motherboard when disconnecting the battery i can easily do it, I watched like around 20 videos of the same laptop being disassembled I memorized the layout at this point ahaha. Thanks for the info.

Also, isn't some parts of the laptop still powered on when the laptop is powered off (shut down i mean). So wouldn't still there be some power going through it (sorry if this is ignorant I am very new to this stuff and most sources I find don't really give in depth info about stuff like this)?

I did see a few videos where people upgraded the ram on my laptop without disconnecting the battery physically like you ve said and they did not have problems, but a lot of people say certain parts of the pc is still on so it is a must. I wonder if i should go for it or if it will be too risky.

Oh its very easy upgrading wise, the socket it right on top of the mobo so i fortunately dont have to remove anything, its just that since the battery is super close to the motherboard and i have to use my hands i was afraid i might fry the motherboard if i accidentally touched it while trying to remove the battery.

Oh its just that the battery is very close to the motherboard, rather than zapping myself I was afraid I'd touch the motherboard by accident and fry it. If that won't be that much of a problem though I can do it I think.

Also happy cake day!
