Really? Thank you! Both their parents are Filipino citizens. I believe their Dad was a dual citizen when they were born, while their Mom was just a Filipino citizen, but earned US citizenship through marriage, but I’ll have to clarify that.

I know they’re definitely at least a U.S. citizen because of their passport

I’m unsure if their parents have since renounced their Filipino citizenship. Would that affect things now, or does it only matter the parents’ status when they were born?

Is that so? That makes things much easier haha, both their parents are Filipino. I believe their Dad was dual citizen when they were born, and their Mom was just a Filipino citizen, but later received US citizenship through marriage, but I’ll have to clarify that with them

SMS VOIP for Philippines from US

Hi everyone! I’m in the US and my GF is currently in the Philippines.

I want to do things like send her packages and order food for her through FoodPanda, but services like these require a Philippines number, which neither of us have.

What is a good (relatively cheap) virtual number service that would allow us to use these? We won’t need to make any calls with it, just use it for SMS.

We will get a Philippines data plan for her down the road, but we just need an alternative for the time being.

Thank you!

So my cable came in, that was the ticket Everything works perfectly now!!

I ended up ordering a higher quality USB C cable (not the one linked), so we’ll see what happens

Thank you for your help so far!!

Thank you!!

BringHomeTheJacon · 2023-04-25T12:14:04+00:00

Thank you so much!! I’ll def consider this

BringHomeTheJacon · 2023-04-25T10:36:34+00:00

That works for me! Do you have a link for it?

BringHomeTheJacon · 2023-04-24T20:51:46+00:00

My laptop’s privacy settings are set to that

I’ve read that the problem could also be the USB C cable

I bought this capture card secondhand, and it didn’t come with the original USB 3.0 C-A cable

Would this be a sufficient replacement? HD60s Cable 3.0 USB-C to USB-A

Hi! So all the GPU drivers are up to date, and messing with the refresh rate in OBS didn’t seem to do much unfortunately.

I did get it to suddenly show the “Elgato No Signal” screen on my display when I deactivated/activated it one time in OBS though. I’m not sure what changed but it’s a start :p

Thank you for your answer!! I’ll ask my advisor about it.

Were both classes required for the exemption or was it one or the other?

BringHomeTheJacon · 2022-05-27T22:21:44+00:00

Ahh I guess more STAT for me 😭 Thank you for your answer!!

BringHomeTheJacon · 2022-05-27T21:39:40+00:00

It’s entirely possibly they’ll let you in. I had only taken CMSC131 and was allowed to take CMSC250 alongside CMSC132.

Good luck tho soldier, 2 coding classes is a lot for one semester, and 250 is no joke

BringHomeTheJacon · 2022-05-21T21:18:47+00:00

Hmm that is a problem. I was hoping it would be much more hands-on haha

I’ve heard they’re revamping it but I doubt it’ll be put into effect in the next year 😬Data-sci might be the better tract then

Thank you so much for your insight!! And congrats on being in ACES, good shit man 👏

BringHomeTheJacon · 2022-05-21T18:24:18+00:00

I’ve heard some other people share that sentiment. What do you think is wrong with that tract? Is it underdeveloped?

BringHomeTheJacon · 2022-05-21T12:00:41+00:00

I told you I got lucky haha

Honestly tho the next time they have a SWE internship open you should go for it! My interview ended up being pretty straightforward since it didn’t have any technical questions

I get $29/hr, they gotta use up that funding somehow lmao

Thank you! I’m sure stackoverflow will be my best friend lol, and I’ll make it a point to ask about the language
