My sister bought herself a bluetooth speaker a few weeks ago, which sounded great, so I decided to order one for myself too. Since I’m a broke college student, I aimed for the lower price range. After a brief search, I found the ER-151 on Banggood, which with its discount to around 5000 HUF fit my budget. The buyers’ feedback was quite positive, everyone praised its quality and volume, so I went ahead and ordered it. It was ordered on September 24th and arrived on October 20th.

Some of you already know that World of Warships has entered its open beta phase. If you liked World of Tanks, you should definitely give WoWS a try.

I participated in the closed beta test as well, and I thought I’d share my experience with the different ship types and provide some tips.

When you start the game, you begin with a cruiser. Basically you can only play against bots until you earn enough experience points and reach the appropriate account level that unlocks random battles.

I was having some issues with my VPS instances (they would sometimes go down), so I looked for a monitoring system that would alert me when a VPS goes offline and also save statistical data. I initially looked at NodeQuery, but the problem with it was that it only updated every 5 minutes, so if a VPS became unavailable for 1-2 minutes, it barely noticed. I checked out other options too, but eventually settled on Observium.

I’ve tried many VPS and dedicated servers worldwide (mainly in Europe and the USA) and was mostly satisfied with them. Naturally, I had some bad experiences, but you learn from your own mistakes. Currently I have VPS instances with most of the major “LowEnd” providers, but my issue with them was always that they weren’t close enough to me, meaning my ping to them was worse than if they were in Hungary.
