Asking for christmas?

My dad was a jehovah witness. There was no such thing as christmas. I never got christmas gifts and now I'm an adult, I see it a bit pointless to ask for gifts, specially when I can't give anything.

I guess if I had to ask for something though, maybe a Wii U. Shit's expensive for a peasant like me.
>>
I want a cheap laptop, but not too cheap. Something with at least a i3 Ivy bridge CPU or some AMD APU for some *decent* lowtier gaming performance. Doesn't even have to be a laptop. But even on clearance I imagine something like that would be too expensive for our blood lol

He is in the Wii version, because otherwise it would have fucked up the motion controls.

Fun fact: He is left handed in the Gamecube version of Twilight Princess. That's not that fun part though. In order to make him left handed in the Gamecube version, they mirrored THE ENTIRE WORLD, and not just his character model. Everything is flipped in the Gamecube version just because they felt like it would suit a left handed Link more, and they wanted it to stay true to the other games.

You don't celebrate Christmas? Also, I know the origin of Christmas very well. I get the feeling that you're somehow trying to insult me by suggesting that Christmas is not a christian tradition, and I can somewhat agree (mostly copied from Saturnalia). I am an atheist and honestly don't care what the origin is, or what religion it currently belongs to.

I assume you don't use a 7 day week because it is based on ancient cultures and religions as well. Or do you? You hypocrite...

HDD:
+Cheaper
+More space
-Easier to break due to moving parts
-Slow read/write
-Larger, if that even matters

SSD:
+Fast read/write(store your OS on there and you can boot up in a few seconds)
+No moving parts, less prone to breaking
-More expensive
-Less memory

>>
>>29175172
An SSD is much much MUCH faster, uses less power and won't break if you for example drop it.

The drawback is that the dollar:GB ratio is far worse. A 128GB SSD costs a bit more than a fast 1TB HDD, or a slow 2TB HDD.

It's very common to have one ~60 or ~128GB SSD for your operating system and most common programs (web browsing, maybe a few games, your office suite and so on) and then install the big majority of programs on a fast 1TB hard drive. That way you get performance for the programs which need it, and lots of space for all the other things.

>>29175219
Actually, the life span of SSDs gets lower and lower.
It shouldn't be a problem though. If you're like the average person, you will write about 10GB of data to your C: each day. If you write that much, then a normal 128GB MLC drive (like the Samsung 830, Crucial m4, Intel 510, OCZ Vertex 4 and so on) will last you about 35 years before SMART says that your drive is finished (as in, you can't write to it anymore, still read though). However, SMART usually underestimate the life of the cells and you might be able to get 40 years out of it, or even more.

The whole "SSDs have limited write cycles" hysteria is overblown.

http://www.anandtech.com/show/6459/samsung-ssd-840-testing-the-endurance-of-tlc-nand

The majority of SSDs die for other reasons, like firmware bugs or the parts breaking, which can happen to HDDs as well.
>>
>>29175429

The total cost is like ~900 for the parts and ~1200 for the camera. I don't get gifts throughout the year, just christmas.
>>
>>29175450
>$2100 in presents

normal people don't get presents throughout the year either, buddy.
>>
>>29174636 (OP)

It is quite hard once you have grown up and gotten a good job as you tend to just buy stuff as you go along through the year. Anything you don't just buy yourself you feel guilty asking for as it's either quite expensive or rather pointless.

I have the same headset, I wanted to be able to walk around while wearing it.

Range is really nice. My desktop is on the second floor, and I get good sound everywhere on the first floor except around the running microwave, or in the room with the router. Sadly, I cannot get any signal from my basement, and I cannot go more than 20-30 feet out the door before it stops getting anything.

Anyways, I never ask for anything. If I want something I just buy it. People claim I am very hard to shop for.
>>
>>29175551
That's only fun when you manage to come up with something the person actually wants or needs. It's easier to just tell each other what you want and guarantee you get something useful. I would agree that giving and receiving presents at all is kind of pointless, but it's unavoidable so whatever. Might as well ask for something you were already planning on getting.

Whenever I ask for tech for my birthday or Christmas it just goes over my family's head and they just give me cash. Except for my one sister who refuses to give me money as a present on the basis of it not being personal, which I can understand, but she doesn't know me well enough at all to select gifts that I'm remotely interested in. I digress though, I'll probably end up with a 7850 or a PS Vita, I haven't decided yet.

Do you want to be able to use it with one hand?
Nexus 7

Do you want a big screen and do not necessarily care about being able to use it with one hand?
Nexus 10

Do you absolutely need/want Office and a keyboard?
Surface RT

Will you mainly use it to show other people how cool and hip you are?
iPad

I fucking love Christmas. I am 32 years old and I still fucking love Christmas. I love the lights, the food, the tree, the music, and of course the presents. I don't give a shit what people get me. I do, however, love buying gifts for other people. I especially love getting gifts for people who are notoriously hard to shop for. It is a bit of a sport, trying to get them the perfect gift. I try to get things that are unusual. If the recipient knows that the object you get them exists, then you have failed. It should be something they have never thought of, but also something that they would love.

Holding a 600 gram device with one hand over a long period of time gets tiring even if you're a body builder.

>>29176895
...
What I mean is that with the Nexus 10, you basically have to use both hands when using it. One to hold it, and one to interact with the screen.
With the Nexus 7, you can hold and interact with the same hand (not the whole screen though, but a big part of it).

Kinda think I need a new psu. My Bestec 250W doesnt inspire confidence and it is a few years old now with a lot of hours put into it.

Some new headphones would be neat. I think JVC has some nice ones around the $30-40 mark (ive seen then in some headphone guides)

I kinda want a Kill-A-Watt as well. I just want to measure everythings power usage. Sort of like when I go over other peoples house and run a speedtest, just to see what they've got.

Christmas in Australia is often very hot. Whereas the northern hemisphere is in the middle of winter, Australians are baking in summer heat. It is not unusual to have Christmas Day well into the mid 30 degrees Celsius, or near 100 degrees Fahrenheit.

A traditional meal includes a turkey dinner, with ham, and pork. A flaming Christmas plum pudding is added for dessert. In the Australian gold rushes, Christmas puddings often contained a gold nugget. Today a small favor is baked inside. Whoever finds this knows s/he will enjoy good luck. Another treat is Mince Pies.
