Yeah I guess I should have been more specific with the post title because I don't think nicotine patches are nearly as addictive as cigarettes.

Yes. They haven't been effective at all for managing my symptoms.

I figured I'd post this in the Toronto instance because people living here would understand my dilemma a bit better.

I'm currently WFH doing L1 help desk work.

I had ended up homeless at one point and could not finish my education. Now that I'm mostly stable I've been thinking about going to college, which I think is especially important in Canada because >58% of people have a college or university credential.

Option 1: I finish my computer networking diploma part-time. Would take me a year.

Option 2: I forgo my education for a bit and attain the CCNA while looking for opportunities to leave helpdesk.

Option 3: I start an online degree like WGU/Athabasca and graduate in 4 years

I think I'm supposed to finish my diploma, but it would take me 3 years to finish a 2 year diploma. The choice seems really obvious but I'm at a loss. I don't want to remain uneducated but it's hard for me to find the time or money to commit to full time schooling. Hope this post made sense.

Aha, was able to install my drive, thank you!

It's an Intel whitebook, can't find much in the way of disassembly videos or docs. You definitely can though

I believe that's the Wireless card

The seller also says that the keyboard is unlabelled so 🤷

I'd consider a thinkpad t590 if it had a dGPU, but a laptop with a GTX 1660 Ti priced at $300 is an insane price even if it doesn't come with ram or a hard drive. If I had them install everything then it would cost only $400

For some reason the image didn't load in the post..

 

I'm homeless (working on it, have a few interviews coming up) and I noticed that there was a mutual aid community located in hexbear. Do I need to make another account or can I use this one to make a post there? Also if there's a loan/borrow community let me know.
