New App May Help You Earn Side Cash??
Lots of apps claim to help you earn money on the side, but a lot of them are ridiculous and I have pretty much tried them all. From taking surveys, watching video ads, scratch offs apps, to an app that you just click a block of ice to chip away and it reveals a 300 gift card. They seem legit at first but it ends up ALWAYS having a catch. With the surveys you only earn .25 per survey and only was offered five surveys a day, the scratch offs were based on a point system and it took 75,000 points to get a $5 dollar gift card and don't even get me started on the block of ice. My fingers are still cramping and after a month I wasn't even close.

DIY Raspberry Pi Hobby Computer Build for Less Than $180
Hello everyone. These days everyone needs a computer. From work to fun, it is a necessity. But while there are many cheap older computers available, generally they fail because of the demands of modern technology. So what I had in mind was to create a cheap build, using only the parts I had available around the house. The great thing about this build is that you can replace anything in this list except the USB hub and the processor and it will work as a charm. This is what I came up with (note that the Raspberry Pi was the only new thing I bought, the rest was available). If you want to build an exact replica of mine go below. Note that this is a workstation build for gaming and video editing; the processor requirement will go up considerably so look elsewhere.
