Is It Safe To Build a New PC?
Depends on if you need a new GPU... find out when the next CPUs are coming, and what's going on with AMD's RX 480 & 470, along with Nvidia's GTX 1070 & 1080, the deal with the Founder Editions, why AMD's RX 470 could kill the GTX 970, and a great SSD deal!
Budget Surround Sound!
Benjamin writes, "Currently I don't have 5.1 surround sound but am looking into setting it up. The issue is my budget is not very big, $350 to 400 for speakers and receiver, so I need assistance getting the best bang for the buck!" We've got options from $150 to $1000 in the video!
Unblock VPN At Cafe?
MuayThaiBeatdown commented on YouTube, "I signed up for a VPN service a few months ago and it works great in the house, but in some public wifi areas I cannot get connected via the VPN. I'm using Open VPN TCP as the protocol. Any ideas?? " Absolutely... we've got ideas for port and protocols you can try to get around VPN blocks in the video!

DIY Rasberry Pi WAP?
Jason writes, "There is a place that I travel to for work that has ethernet connections provided in the rooms, but no WiFi. Is it possible to turn my Raspberry Pi 1 model B+ into a WiFi hotspot so I don't have to use my mobile data plan, or is some type of travel router the only way to go?" Turns out you CAN use a R.Pi as a WAP, and Adafruit has a tutorial for the B+ on their site!
