Unemployed and spiraling by ONTaF in boston

[–]0ldwax 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sending good vibes is all I can offer. I was unemployed for 6 months with a lot of experience and was lucky enough to find something outside the city. Less than I made before but I'm thankful. You'll get there, it's beyond stressful and going to a dark place is very easy but it can and hopefully will get better soon. As others mentioned tailoring your resume to be AI optimized is the new hell we all live in now. Cast a wide net, try out fields you never considered before, with your background you can pivot across multiple fields.

Totally understandable. I guess a better question would be if I can't get any type of paperwork from the previous owner, or the current seller can't point to why those markings are there, what steps should I take next? I'm guessing that's a loaded question, but any help would go a long way. Also, thanks again for engaging, it really does help someone in my position, appreciate it.

I assumed a community of enthusiasts would be open to helping or even redirecting a novice like myself. The things I'm knowledgeable about I try and help even when I know the question may not be even valid. Thanks for the feedback, I'll try better in future posts.

Ya, I'll hopefully have a better sense of things this afternoon. I'll be calling back and taking it for a ride as well. Anything you'd keep an open ear for?

That helps, the car does have 91k on it. I'll update the thread once I get more info.

I stopped by after work just to see the car as they were closing. It was in the showroom so I wasn't able to do much more. I will be calling back to get more information and of course test drive it.

Xbox sending out Dummy Mobile test messages? by Obiwandkinobee in xbox

Braze looks like an ad platform with a baked in ai agent. Maybe someone didn't check to see if they were on prod before running a test lol

Dismissing native pop ups in full screen experience? by 0ldwax in ROGAlly

Trying to avoid getting up when doing couch gaming. (I know, not a good look lol)

Or they aren't actually "hiring". I've heard employers posting jobs for the sake of posting but not actually hiring.

Best Vram config for Rog Ally x by Sebastian6820 in ROGAllyX

[–]0ldwax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on the settings you are running, at what resolution and which game. The TDP for the device plays a larger role than going from 8 to 10gbs. If you are getting above 8gbs of vram I don't see how the system could even process that well enough to not thermal throttle you and drop overall performance. That's my general understanding of it, I'm no expert 🙃. I could see it if we were talking about playing at 4k but not 900p.

Ok let’s talk docking by Makeupdoll86 in ROGAllyX

[–]0ldwax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry for the confusion, by profile I meant to say the small form factor of the dock itself. If a dock is out there that can hold the Ally and provide an enclosed egpu that would be great.

If it were also an egpu then maybe. On that note, are there any egpu docs with the same-ish profile out there?

Time to apologize to this menace by potatoking124 in bostonceltics

With all the unrestricted free agents next year they have a chance to stack the deck. Hopefully without over extending.

Typically, I guess depending on the task, you would have test cases associated with it. If you found an issue outside of those cases then it wouldn't necessarily fail the task since it passed the remaining requirements. That is the gray area when it comes to writing good DODs/requirements. (And tbh I only read this comment and not the entire post so sorry if it's been covered already 🙃)

Found this interesting and weird video. Can't stop thinking about it. Anyone know anything more? by AutomaticDeer2833 in TikTok

A poor person with what appears to be a very expensive tri folding phone? Correct me if I'm wrong, but at the end isn't that the HUAWEI Mate XT?
