I just ordered my future laptop

 As you may know from my older posts and also my YouTube videos, I really wanted a Framework 16. Now I said "wanted" and not "want", and that's because I have preordered a Framework 16!

Here's the configuration for anyone that is interested! Besides that, I feel like I need to address some things regarding the purchase... So, first of all, why did I do it? Well, I did it because my current laptop, the Dell G3 3500, no longer holds up to my workflow, and also, the plastic started to deteriorate itself for some reason. Also, I started to run out of space! Which may sound weird to some people because I have a 2TB external HDD (archival purposes), a 1TB SATA SSD (active videos/projects), and a 256GB NVMe SSD (apps and the OS). Now this may sound like a lot, but if we take a look at my workflow, it can be seen really easily that I have a lot of raw video files, which can be 10GB for a 10-minute video. Also, I'm planning to export in 4K instead of 1080p, and my current laptop struggles to watch a simple 4K video.

Now, I think you get the big picture. I need a new laptop so I can do more for you guys! And also for me, I mean... I would like to run some local AIs and also to mess with 3 VMs at the same time! It would be awesome just to see it do that in the first place! Man, I can't wait to see it on my desk and also to film a video about it!

On a side note, I bet y'all know what today is...

Sorry if this post was too short, school started again... But don't worry! I will write a longer post this week! And also, expect a new video on the 2nd of October!

I started high school... And I hate it!

Just yesterday it was the first day of school, and all I have to say is... Please bring me back to middle school! Really.

So, the new teachers (that I've gotten to know so far) are okay. Except for my Romanian teacher, who is a man now, instead of a woman. I know, weird... But our math teacher changed as well! With a woman instead of a man! Man, I can't wait to see who is going to be my math teacher... I just can't wait! I hope it is someone who isn't crazy as my Romanian teacher seemed...

Anyway, now I realize I haven't made a post in a while... So, what happened besides me starting high school? Well, I visited Croatia for a week! And all I have to say is... Absolute Cinema! Oh Croatia, Croatia, Croatia... my beloved country which is MUCH better off than Romania... And don't get me started on Ćevapi. Ćevapi has to be invented by a God or something, but it is 100 times better than the Romanian "mici". They do not even compare to Romania's equivalent! Also, the fact that I have not seen more than 3 casinos in all of Zadar should really say something. Here in Timișoara and in Romania in general, you can see at least 8 casinos in a 1km radius, which is just sad... But would the government do something? Of course not! Because this is the Romanian government, they hate their people! That's why we 9th graders start school using basically nothing because they change the whole curriculum in the last minute so we have no manuals. F**k you Bucharest! In fact, f**k the whole country! And if you're a patriot of ANY country on this earth, just know this:

"If a country doesn't make your life better by offering good and free services (e.g., school, transport, etc.), then that country doesn't care about you. So why would you care about it?"

- Icelandic Fox.

Now with that out of the way, let's talk about the whole high school thing... So, we lost 10 students (they decided to start high school in another place), and we got 12 new students. Well, these 12 new students are, well... How can I say it nicely...? There are more girls than boys, and 98% of the girls are just full of fake looks. Like, they put on a LOT of makeup! Which, in my opinion, doesn't make you an attractive person at all... Also, the new boys look like they just got out from Chernobyl or something... They look awful! Now I know the saying not to judge a book by its cover, but when you replace 10 students that were basically the whole class's personality and replace them with 12 new students that are not in the perfect high school (in my opinion). It kind of ruins a class, you know? Also, they sit inside all day... which I found weird! Now, yeah, this is just the first day, but still...

Also, just on a side note, a few hours ago I was talking with an old classmate that just started high school as well in another place. And man, I feel like I'm being left behind to rot... They are allowed to have phones during break and are basically left alone because it's just the first few days. On the other hand, another old classmate of mine said that in their high school, they spent the entire day on integration between classmates because, as I said, the teachers have nothing to do thanks to a fictional government named "The Romanian Government".

Ugh... I just hate my government on a whole other level compared to the average kid of my age...

Okay, so if the government is incompetent to manage its education, then I guess our teachers left us alone as well. WRONG! They put us to work, because I guess not having a plan in place and following old legislation while new ones are currently in the making is a best practice from a professional and a common sense knowledge!

A new era, a new name!

I've had something on my mind ever since I entered high school, that "something" being a new name, a new version of me, if you can call it that. So, as you can see, the blog has a new look! And I also have a new name! Okay, I didn't actually change my handle... yet. But at least I changed my YouTube banner and profile picture that I've been rocking since 2022-2023.So, as you can see, the blog has a new look! And I also have a new name! Okay, I didn't actually change my handle... yet. But at least I changed my YouTube banner and profile picture that I've been rocking since 2022-2023.

I mean, it is a slight improvement when it comes to naming and branding in general. So, why did I make this change? And why "Icelandic Fox"? Well, it all started Sunday night, when I suddenly had a thought.

"Why do I use my real name? Why don't I change it?" 

And that thought sparked this whole change... Now, as I mentioned a few paragraphs ago, I didn't change my handle yet, and that's because something inside of me won't let me do it. I don't know why I have this roadblock... Maybe it's because my real name became so integrated into my online persona that changing it would feel like ripping something from my life? I mean... That could be a possibility!

Anyway! Now that I've "bit the bullet" and made the change, I feel... good. I feel like I'm once again free of everything that was holding me back. Okay, so with that said, I also need to make a preaf announcement... Since I will start high school on September 7, 2026, I was planning to post videos every two weeks during that time! Maybe someday I will make my YouTube channel profitable so I can afford expensive, cool tech and also random stuff without being worried about my wallet.

If it will be after me, I hope I can activate the monetization features before Christmas. If not, activating them before the summer break of 2027 would also be a very good aspiration.

Also, on a quick side note, you may have seen that I actually kept my handle the same on some platforms. I only felt like changing the display name since, as I said, I can't yet "divorce" from my handle.

With that said, have a great rest of your day! Or night...
