That seems to be a huge issue with other cheap models, that you can’t open that zipper whatsoever or your room will be covered in tiny glass shards.

Inzombiac posted:No, please. Don't give it praise.  It works like a normal laptop most of the time and the screen pops out for the occasions when it's needed. Plus you don't need to donate all your poo poo to google. There are some sacrifices in other areas since it's built to a pretty low price but it's pretty great for travel.

Spring Heeled Jack posted:I think the product recommendation thread went away, but I’m looking for a mattress online and HOLY poo poo is it a nightmare of misinformation. At this point I’m just looking for a foam mattress that is fairly cheap and isn’t secretly covered in fiberglass, which is apparently a huge problem. I got one of these on sale for ~$100 off in April and I have zero complaints.

Man mine has a $30 monthly minimum connection fee. Last bill was $45. Had a nest for years in a townhouse, and letting it learn the cooling needs based on weather (Phoenix) dropped the power bill from a $230 average to $105. Used the appropriate stage, sometimes turned on the fan only, at night, vs the entire thing to circulate air, etc. It was pretty baller. Have a Sensibo for my AC now, because it's an in-wall unit without a thermostat. It's OK but I miss the nest. At least I can turn it on and off from my phone without getting up and finding the remote in the middle of the night.

 It's that time of year. Black Friday equals good deals on computer parts. My computer is 7 years old (except the video card, that's only 5 years old!) and starting to fail, so yep time to build a new one. I'm honestly really surprised at how long this build has lasted and that it's been able to play almost everything, mostly on minimum settings but hey. More than I usually spend on computer parts (I usually buy on the low end of the price:performance breakdown), but why not get some of the new hotness? Definitely a step up from the AMD Phenom II X4 and GTX 660 I had. Other recent purchases:    New motorcycle gear (helmet, jacket, gloves) cause all that stuff was old as well and needed updating. Finally took possession of this beast. Proctor surfboard's Monstachief (9' x 25" x 4")   So I needed a wetsuit cause winter is coming and I guess the water's cold. Shorty cause I don't get cold easy, I've been surfing/swimming without a wetsuit in 66° water up until now and have been fine and this will be adequate for me based on what all the wetsuit temp scales say.

I bought a big rear end 65" 4K TV because I still didn't own one and Black Friday gave me a hot deal. I already have an Xbox One X and Red Dead and I lost my poo poo when I booted it up goddamn.  Also bought a Switch for the girlfriend for Christmas that was on sale for like 3 seconds at $179 and I managed to get one.

They will gather your watching habits and send the data back to their servers (SEA servers), not  here as they have been caught and its well known in the industry.
