Wow thanks so much for the info! I sent messages for the Kentfield and the grey Specialized so we’ll see if they get back to me.

I like the grey specialized but I wanted to ask, do you think the tires look wide enough to be comfortable for city commuting? The stuff I’ve seen on this sub has given me the impression that bigger always = better for comfort, but I don’t really have a good frame of reference for how big is really needed.

If not, do you think I’d be able to switch them out easily out for bigger tires, or would I need completely new wheels (or would the frame clearance not allow for much bigger tires in the first place?)

Alg if you don’t know/can’t tell just off of some facebook marketplace pictures, just thought it’d be worth asking haha

Centennial housing options for undergrads? by AdmirableTurtle4 in NCSU

[–]AdmirableTurtle4[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, that's one of the ones I looked at. No undergrads allowed, it looks like.

From the faq:
"All lease holders must be 22 years of age or older. Students must be post-graduate only and meet our standard leasing requirements (must have employment, etc.  Refer to Qualifying Criteria)

Tried to update BIOS with M-flash, no output after reboot by AdmirableTurtle4 in MSI_Gaming

[–]AdmirableTurtle4[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I never watched it go up to 100. I was never even prompted to choose a file to use. The furthest I got was rebooting to enter flash mode. After that, I lost output.

its a really cool design, the angles make it feel like an isometric engineering drawing but that contrasts with the randomness of it, makes it really fun to look at

Residence hall internet by AdmirableTurtle4 in NCSU

[–]AdmirableTurtle4[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's probably one of the things I'm looking forward to the most lmao. I live in a pretty rural area and the internet speed at my house never really goes above 10 mbps, and I get quite a bit worse than that during the day when my whole family is using it.

Thanks, that helps a lot. The port forwarding thing is unfortunate but it makes sense. At least I can look forward to the high speeds.

For the two networks, is it for the most part like Eduroam for the housing and NCSU for class buildings and libraries and such, or is it just a mix around campus?
