george really does have so much potential. i really hope he starts streaming more regularly or starts uploading more than one video every month—not only for more george content, but also because i just really want to see his channels grow. variety and consistency will be key to that, i think. i mean, dream can get away with long periods of not uploading on his main channel. manhunt was so, so successful and gave him a lot of clout. his name is also in the 'dream team' and the 'dream smp', which keeps his name circulating. keeps him relevant. but george doesn't have that luxury, especially since he doesn't involve himself in the lore. i do think he's starting to figure that out, though, because if you compare his content from just a few months ago to today, the change is huge. so george is definitely becoming a better entertainer everyday, he just hasn't hit his stride yet - 🌹 (i've sent you a lot of asks recently so i thought i might as well name myself. only if that's okay with you, of course!)

i completely agree! i miss george and his content when he doesn’t upload or stream, but part of why his inconsistency (personally) frustrates me sometimes is his channels could be growing a lot faster if he were at even a slightly faster, more regular pace. (though i think for january in particular, dteam were all busy with their individual/dteam uploads and/or they’re just gearing up for february—which they’ve said is packed with content + yt has better adsense).

obviously it’s always his choice, and there may be reasons undisclosed for why he doesn’t stream/upload often, buuut it would be cool, you know? :’) because you know that when/if he does, the growth in views, subscribers, followers will be insane.

and yes, another reason why i’m so excited about george branching out is he’s creating opportunities for himself to be more independent with his content! i agree that george doesn’t have the same brand advantage and will have to establish himself further as a separate streamer to try and reach that same level of success, and i do also think that he’s slowly figuring it out, evidenced by his growing variety in both content and affiliation. out of everyone in the dream team, george is the most outgoing with talking to other streamers (as opposed to dream, who will usually only be in a collab with minecraft/among us players or sapnap, who plays with a variety of other people on fps games but doesn’t really... follow up? for more content?). he’s played different games with quackity, and filmed a video with larray that has yet to be posted. people outside of his circle use him for different forms of clickbait (ludwig, weston), and it benefits them and him in terms of clout generation.

plus, you’re right, george is becoming a better entertainer each day. entertainment doesn’t have to be being funny (because honestly, i don’t really find any of them funny when they’re trying to be funny), it’s just knowing your audience and knowing what gets them to keep watching. i’ve been watching his past streams and it’s become very obvious just how much more comfortable he is streaming now, and how much more effort he puts into interacting with his audience and maintaining a high, positive energy throughout the stream. you can tell that it frustrates him when he doesn’t think he’s being entertaining enough, or when something isn’t going according to plan. (also he’s probably realized just how much of an advantage being conventionally attractive is. keep using that, king!)

he has the clout, the average viewer count, the personality, and the face. i really do think he’d be one of the top ten twitch streamers with even just a little more consistency.

(all that said, please for the love of god george get more than two mods. it’s against my principles to hype you up at 100k viewers when your mods drop things to work for you. you know you need more mods, and they’ve explicitly asked. please.)

HP 15-F211WM Laptop Review

Welcome to a Biomedical Battery specialist of the HP Laptop Battery

HP 15-F211WM, it doesn’t look bad at a glance: a 15.6″ touchscreen laptop with a Celeron processor and 4GB RAM. The price is very affordable. And in addition, the unit has been selling well lately. So the essential question is, is this laptop really so good or are there bad things about it too..?

The best thing about HP 15-F211WM with battery like HP EG04 Battery, HP EG04XL Battery, HP HSTNN-DB3T Battery, HP HSTNN-IB3T Battery, HP TPN-C103 Battery, HP TPN-C108 Battery, HP Envy 6-1001TX Battery, HP Envy 6-1222TX Battery, HP Envy Sleekbook 6 Battery, HP Envy Sleekbook 6-1000 Battery, HP Ultrabook 6T-1000 Battery, HP Ultrabook 6Z-1100 Battery is the price. It’s in the same category that high-end Chromebooks, yet the performance is superior to those (although still quite low compared to laptops costing 100-200 dollars more). The Intel Celeron N2840 processor here offers a dual-core setup with 2.2GHz base frequency, and turbo will increase the speed to 2.6GHz. The CPU Mark score of ~1060 is rather low, but for web surfing, YouTube, email and the like that’s certainly enough.

Many people see 4GB memory insufficient these days, but for a casual user that’s really all you need. This laptop is indeed equipped with four gigabytes RAM (single stick). There are no extra slots, but you should be able to remove the current stick and put 8GB in if you wanted to upgrade the memory.

A touchscreen for this price is nice to have. The specs are 15.6″ diagonal and 1366×768 resolution, so nothing fancy in that department. And keep in mind you can’t turn it 360 degrees, this unit works in laptop mode only.

The 3-cell 31Whr battery should last around 5 hours, not bad for a budget computer.

It’s quite obvious that you can’t have cutting-edge technology for pennies, but the hard drive is probably the weakest point in HP 15-F211WM. It’s a 500GB 5400RPM SATA drive, the one that was common two-three years ago. It’s still good for casual users, and if you find it too slow, there’s always the possibility to upgrade it to a faster SSD one.

Connections are like in any other laptop, three USB ports (two USB 3.0, one USB 2.0) accommodating your peripherals like printer and mouse. Also the obligatory HDMI-out is there, you can hook up an external display to that and use the laptop through the monitor.

Networking interfaces are nothing special but still useful: 100Mbps RJ-45 port and 802.11b/g/n WiFi adapter. Bluetooth is not supported (unless you get a special USB adapter yourself).

DVD burner is available, might be you don’t need it though since a lot of stuff can be downloaded from Internet. SD card reader is available as well.

The unit weighs 5.05 pounds, just the average of 15.6″ laptops.

Probably the biggest disadvantage is the gaming performance. HP 15-F211WM doesn’t have a dedicated graphics card; instead it relies on the processor-integrated (= slow) Bay Trail based Intel HD Graphics chip. You can play low-level titles like Minecraft, Sims 4 and League of Legends, but triple A games such as GTA 5 and The Witcher 3 are way too heavy. And you can’t do anything about this, installing a graphics card is not possible here.

Not a big thing, but the webcam is quite poor, offering only VGA (640×480) resolution.

If you don’t do much more than surf the web, work with MS Office, send emails and watch YouTube, this kind of lightweight HP 15-F211WM should do the trick: it has sufficient processor, RAM and hard drive for that. You can even try to play some less demanding games, but a hardcore gamer definitely needs a faster computer. If you’re good with that limitation, you might want to include this HP in your shopping list.
