US Senate (GA) - Rumors of former Sen. Joe Lieberman's son (Matt) considering running against David Perdue. - Strongbad Jul 15, 08:02
was this posted over the weekend? The flying dude at Bastille Day in France is so freakin' cool -- (link) - decline Jul 15, 07:54 4
- nice flying -- nm - budice Jul 15, 08:18
- I think my favorite part is him looking over his shoulder to go in reverse...like there's other hoverboards he needs to avoid. -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 15, 08:00 1
  - Doc Brown might've been back there. You don't know. -- nm - Baronfiki Jul 15, 08:21

What does ST think about this cheap laptop? My gf wants a laptop but doesn't need it to edit videos or anything. Just surf, watch videos, save pics -- (edited) - Krusty Jul 15, 07:43 12
- oblik has this covered, i concur -- nm - budice Jul 15, 08:18
- I think that would be pretty much perfect. Core i3 is "low end" but 8th Gen so very new. 6GB RAM is plenty for that activity and the HD is good - oblique Jul 15, 07:56 7
  - Thanks! I did some looking around and it can be upgraded as well so I think we'll give it a try. -- nm - Krusty Jul 15, 08:02 6
    - My guess is they are very cheap today with Prime Day, but a decent sized SSD (250/500GB) would do wonders for the performance of that machine. -- (link) - oblique Jul 15, 08:04 5
      - Thanks! What I'm reading is that we should get a SSD for boot up and such and use the HDD for storage. Acer has a video on installing an M.2 SSD - Krusty Jul 15, 08:14 2
        
        See below, but yes. That's exactly the scenario. When we have machines here at work that are a bit slower, an SSD upgrade is cheap and wicked fast -- nm - oblique Jul 15, 08:17 1
        
        I need to look around today and see what I find for a fair priced SSD that'll work for us. I appreciate your help with this. -- nm - Krusty Jul 15, 08:27
      - EDIT: Looking at the Amazon page again they suggest a version that includes the M.2 SSD. If that machine really does have that option, that's a great -- (edited) - oblique Jul 15, 08:06 1
        
        Yeah, that's what I just read. Add on the M.2 for booting and such and use the HDD for storage. Thanks for all the info! -- nm - Krusty Jul 15, 08:17
- at that price it's a good deal -- nm - decline Jul 15, 07:55 1
  - Thanks! I've only built my desktops and haven't kept up with things in a few years -- nm - Krusty Jul 15, 08:03

  - I should note we are in the middle of nowhere with no cell service most of the trip so radio stations LOLOLOLOL -- nm - ty97 Jul 15, 07:37 2
    - Phone playlist and headphones. - Will Hunting Jul 15, 08:08
    - I'd rather sit in silence or just talk than hear the same songs over and over again. That's torture. Having a bunch of podcasts would save - Krusty Jul 15, 07:48
- Are any of the 4 songs by Katy Perry? -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Jul 15, 07:35 4
  - In the 2019 version apparently yes! The 2018 version featured 'The Middle' - ty97 Jul 15, 07:36 3
    - I'M LOSING MY MIND, JUST A LITTLE -- nm - Strongbad Jul 15, 07:42
    - Since I don't know who Maren Morris is I'll say the friend(ship) would have survived 2018 but would not survive 2019. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Jul 15, 07:38 1
      - You know the song -- (link) - ty97 Jul 15, 07:39 [youtube]
