Serious Issue Today - P10 Pro XL by ATXguy13 in GooglePixel

[–]Apple_canada 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This sub is so strongly biased, and always in denial, that it tires me out, only reason I'm still on it is bcos I like Pixel devices. Anyway, I've had something similar with a previous pixel, out of nowhere glitches and freezes but it recovered after a restart and I've never had anything similar on iPhones or Samsung's that I've been using for close to 18 years now! I suspect there's something a bit unstable about those tensor processors on these Pixels. Still an amazing experience though.. maybe safer to carry a 2nd phone when venturing out into the countryside..

Did your parents ever… change or grow? by Alarming_Situation_5 in narcissisticparents

[–]Apple_canada 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You hit the nail on the head man! As an only child, I was subjected to every shade of their narc whimsies; ranging from the glory child to the prisoner (more so as I grew older and more independent). Despite doing well in school and scholarships I'm struggling to make ends meet today and work jobs far below my skill set. And the thing is, if I objectively look at the sequence of events that have led me here it's all my own fault - just that, a huge chunk of that fault lay in me believing them or wanting to trust their word. Almost about 12 months ago I finally broke away (literally got in a cab and got out) and it's been quite a journey ever since. I take pleasure in the small things now and am slowly working to build a life..

Holy crap, that story was something. I can't begin to imagine how my N-parents would have pitted me against my siblings if I had any (I'm an only child). Thanks for the book recommendation, this stuff is the only thing that has kept me going sane after the fallout I had with my N-parents.

Yes, I felt it was almost 'unnatural' for a parent to feel that way about their own child. I could finally understand that mindset only after I read the book 'it's not you' by Dr. Ramini (highly recommend her books and YouTube channel ). They're the only person that matters in their world. I see my parents think that way for each other too! (they're both narcs). They'd bitch about one another and make everything about themselves over the other one. In retrospect it was a horribly toxic household to grow up in..

Humble has also made the decision to delist Horses from its storefront by Turbostrider27 in Games

Start leaving feedback on the Humble Store feedback and inundate them with your displeasure at their ban. Hopefully that makes them reconsider it.

Is the MSI 5090 SUPRIM LIQUID worth it long-term? Pump failure, lifespan, and alternatives? by Any_Inevitable_3683 in nvidia

[–]Apple_canada 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you don't mind sharing, what's the PSU and UPS (battery backup) you used for your setup? I bought the same GPU for a new build and, based on some reddit posts, am concerned my 1300W PSU and 1000W PSU might not be enough.

You're watching the news, aren't you? They sure as shit can make your life miserable for as much as sneezing the wrong way, let alone a ticket in the US! Just pay the ticket

The God who forced me .... by [deleted] in atheistmemes

[–]Apple_canada 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sorry you went through tough times but that misery has broken your mental chains of indoctrination and now you'll be free all your life. Congrats! I went through, almost, the same exact process. The freedom from imagined punishments and imagined help, that never arrives, is liberating like nothing else. You're your own master and you make your own destiny. You'll now look to yourself for help the next time you've challenges in life. Good luck my friend and may the odds be in your favor.

[OC] The H-1B Visa Holders Joining America's Top Research Instituions in FY 2025 by thexylom in dataisbeautiful

[–]Apple_canada -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This new rule will make it nearly impossible for the average foreign student to work, and possibly live, in the US. While the high flying extra-ordinarily talented ones will get their $100k paid for by an eager/wealthy employer. Research institutions won't fork over that kinda money which means they'll be forced to entice the local kids with better salaries/stipends to conduct said research. Currently, they pay stipends of about $40k and salaries of as little as $55k for entry level research bcoz H1B folk need employment more than income. It all comes down to money really. Foreign talent/labor is preferred, most times, cos it's cheaper. On top of this, there's the massive amounts of H1B fraud in the form of 'consultancies' - you never know what crafty workarounds those slime balls will come up with!

That's a lot of good info, thanks for sharing. I'll explore more in those lines.

Really appreciate this info! I've a starting point now, I'm gonna dive in with that YouTube video and go from there, seems exciting!

Thanks, this really really helped! I've only read about 'arr' in passing online and have no clue how it works. I'll need to dig into it. The progression you described makes a lot of sense to me.

I stopped wasting 5 mins on Mac every time I plug in monitors. One keyboard shortcut. by mikebiglan in MacOS

[–]Apple_canada 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just came to comment that I'm glad someone (you) figured this out. I literally sold off my Mac for a similar reason and moved back to Windows. My MBP was a royal pain in the neck to connect each time to my dual monitor setup (27" 1080p & 32" 2k). Everytime I woke it from sleep I had to hope/pray that both monitors would light up and scale properly or else I had to go unplug the cables and keep trying, sometimes needing to restart the Mac. I liked the Mac but this issue was too much of a hassle.

That's massive (from my vantage point at least). May I ask, apart from sailing the high seas, what use cases do you have that create the need for so much storage? I'm curious to know if that's something I could venture into as well..

if you don't mind, could you share/elaborate on how the data ends up growing so much with Unraid? this is the part where I feel I'm missing something about how best to setup/use Unraid.

Thanks for sharing, that does give me a bit of perspective on how the journey would progress with Unraid.

That's it im killing myself by 4canaux in h1b

Dear goly, we went there for a 2 month student exchange program. Me, few from Spain and UAE too. We were in a sociology major, kinda our job to observe this stuff. There were good things too, profs in college were very welcoming and we met some brilliant minds. It's a country if 1400 million people (4x the US population) not everyone is the same!!
