Question Year old laptop is dead, what are my options?

Lemon laws are for products that fail to meet standards of quality and performance. If this is a recurring issue across many users (some before warranty expires albeit) then the product shouldn't have been sold. Don't get me wrong, I don't think I have anything to actually bring to court...

Power Delivery

So I see this being touted for the Pixel 2 but it's very hard for me to understand. The pixel 2 is not compliant with QC 2.0/3.0 but uses "power delivery". Other than buying something with a crapload of watts I don't understand what that entails. I'm trying to buy a charger that will safely...

1070 Brand/Model Suggestions

Looking to buy a 1070 and was hoping to keep it under $400. I was originally looking at EVGA models but with the cooling issues reported on them I think I will stay away. Can anyone suggest me a solid model? Not planning to overclock it at all myself.

How do I filter between sales that end Dec 2nd vs sales that end tomorrow or in 2 days? [e] It looks like the ones that end sooner are just the ones on the front page unless I'm mistaken.

[MMO] World of Tanks

Sorry, you lost me. It isn't proportional to tier so why would it'd be much faster in a later tier? I'm basically looking to make my life more enjoyable grinding down a line by forcing myself to learn a perk early. It sounds like it's not worth grinding for a perk until T5 at the earliest.

Is there value in forcing your crew to learn it's first skill/perk (100%) early on like T2 or T3 and carry them over? I typically wasn't carrying over until T4/5, but I'm starting to think early skill/perk could be really nice having.
