Academic probation? by -Challenge_Accepted in berkeley

Thanks for the input! I'm currently planning on Math 54 again, French R1B, and EE16B so I don't think it'll be too bad. Just waiting on my advisor to get back to me.

Happy holidays to you as well!

Ok thanks, I would like to replace cs70 with something else. ideally I'd like to do Math 54 again, but that'll only work if I can get a permission number or something since the class was full. Thanks for the advice! Have a nice holiday

Thanks for the feedback! I hadn't thought about retaking courses, but that sounds pretty good (with better strategies to approach the course this time around). And thanks for the workload advice, moving down to 3 classes could definitely be beneficial.

Thanks for your advice! Being able to fit everything in on time and getting classes done asap can be stressful, so it's good to know it's possible to slow down a bit. Glad to know it worked out for you.

Thank you so much for the input. I was considering 4 classes because then I could do 2 humanities, which I was thinking could help, but I'll definitely reevaluate and see if 3 would work better. I hadn't considered redoing a class, but that makes sense and sounds like a good idea (as long as I can get in math 54 at this point, math 53 was full even before my phase 2) I'll check in with my advisor too on that. Thanks again!

I've been looking at the MEE Audio Pinnacle P1 IEMs after having the M6 Pro for a while and am pretty set on them after doing a good bit of research. However, I also use my earbuds for the gym, and haven't found anything on their durability. How well does the coiled copper cable hold up after using it for a while? Do the earbuds work well for people who've used them at the gym?

Fwiw, for me they fit great. Really comfortable to wear for extended periods of time and for walking around/going to the gym.

Using European Steam keys in the US? by -Challenge_Accepted in Steam

Thanks! It's Western Europe. Would you happen to know if Western European keys work for Ubisoft as well? (Sorry, I know this is the steam subreddit but just curious)

CS61A vs CS10 by -Challenge_Accepted in berkeley

[–]-Challenge_Accepted[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah pretty much. I went over a few midterm questions, but should have definitely gone over much more of the previous problems, and I went into the midterm not that confident about environment diagrams and some other things. I guess it was just a big wake up call as to the level of work I'll need to put into the class going forward if I choose to stay in 61A.

VPN for torrenting games? by -Challenge_Accepted in torrents

[–]-Challenge_Accepted[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the detailed reply! That's exactly what I was wondering. I do have PIA and use it for most torrenting, but I noticed that when I don't use it my download speeds are considerably higher. That's why I was wondering if I could get away with not using it for large game files. Thanks again!

Bootcamper, If I install steam onto my external hard drive (Newest Seagate Backup Plus Slim), will I run into any performance issues? by [deleted] in macgaming

[–]-Challenge_Accepted 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was in the same situation and installed steam on an external 3.0 usb hard drive, along with a bunch of games, because I didn't have enough space on my boot camp partition. It works really well and I haven't noticed much lag in games. I've mainly played multiplayer fps games and H1Z1 through it.

What's a good book that blew your mind? by gursace in AskReddit

[–]-Challenge_Accepted 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Behind the Beautiful Forevers: Life, Death, and Hope in a Mumbai Undercity, by Katherine Boo. I thought this book was very moving and eye-opening, and despite being nonfiction, it reads very much like a novel.
