I've only heard of JOOX and MOOV. Which one is better? Are there better alternatives?

My friend has a i7-3770 and can give it to me for free, but I would need to get a CPU cooler as well. Are there any LGA 1155 socket mATX motherboards that have USB3.0? I would likely pair the i7-3770 with an RX480 when it comes out. The other alternative is an i5-6500, but would have to buy it outright.

I've seen benchmarks and it seems like the i7 would outperform the current i5. However, the few motherboards that I found do not have USB3.0, which is really important to me.

Any suggestions? Thanks!

I'm currently on a Tmobile prepaid plan in the US, would like to avoid carrier bloat and am planning to get the international variant (Exynos version). Would Samsung Pay work for the international version?

Thanks!

Since I'm using prepaid plan, I'm looking for an unlocked and unbranded S7. I came across this model (SM-G930F) on eBay, and am wondering if the bands work on Tmobile in the US. Also, it seems to be a Snapdragon 820 variant, and not the Exynos, which seems to be a plus.

Any input is appreciated!

I'm looking at possibly buying a pocket camera and have looked into the RX100 line, G7x, and HX90v. The RX100 and G7x seem a bit too pricey to me, so I'm wondering how comparable the HX90v image quality is to the RX100 and G7x? How about compared to current flagship phones (Samsung S7, iPhone 6s)? I currently have a Sony Z3 and the image quality isn't ideal.

Are there any other recommendations for similarly sized cameras? Would I be better off upgrading to a phone with a better camera?

I will mostly be taking stills (scenery and tourist-y things), and a 180 degree selfie screen is a big plus.

Thanks for the help!

I know the win tonight against the heat is great and all, but I can't believe no one has talked about this important topic yet. Seems like he covered it up with another tattoo, which looks dangerously like some illuminati thing.

Hi all,

I will be moving to Detroit from out of state (was in Minnesota for undergrad) to work at a lab here. What are some recommended areas to live in to get to WSU easily? What are some areas to avoid? How is the public transport in Detroit?

I've never been to Detroit, so I'm a bit worried about its reputation.

Thanks for all the help!
