Do I need dgpu or igpu will be enough

Hey everyone,

I'm a 2nd-year B.E. AIML student looking for a laptop to last 4-5 years, funded by my parents. My main focus is studies and skill-building, with casual weekend gaming like Minecraft now and hopefully RDR2 down the line(rdr2 and AAA games can wait till i earn)

I'm torn between two paths. The first is getting a high-end processor with an iGPU and great battery life, relying entirely on free cloud services like Kaggle or Colab for ML training.

The second is getting a mid-tier processor with a dedicated Nvidia GPU(3050), sacrificing battery life but allowing local workflows and gaming. Battery life isn't a major factor for me since I'll usually be near a charging port.

Since I don't know the practical details of how models are built and trained yet, I want to ask: Do AIML undergrads actually need a local dGPU, or are free cloud platforms enough? If I go the dGPU route, can a budget card give me stable performance for 5 years?

i need to know what to wear with what

so i am now going to be in 2nd year of college, and all my life i had preferred tshirts(regular,polo,oversize) and jeans to wear.(idk why but i disliked shirts when i was younger) so in first year i realised i need to wear shirts too and can't just stick to basic tshirt-jeans.

so now i want to wear shirts and preferably untucked, cotton linen type of shirts. so what type of pants do i wear with them? and the shoes will be casual/ sneakers. also tell me other type of shirts i can wear

and i am also fed up with only wearing jeans, so what other type of pants can i wear with tshirts

i have a fat body(thick thighs and belly) so suggest according to it. and one more thing i need clothes to be lose.

THANKS.

Is it just me, or does everyones head just rambles on about anything after waking up

So when I am forced woken , due to any reason after waking up my mind is just doing random things like imagining anything or sometime i just can't remember what I am supposed to do after waking up.

​

It usually last for only a minute or even less.

​

But could it be me over consuming content like manhwa, doom scrolling, series..... (Which i do)

​

I do many times create scenarios in my head just to play around but it's not serious thing

​

So what do you guys think is happening and should I be taking more care of what and how much content i consume.
