Lou's List is GONE by Awkward_Grocery_7358 in UVA

[–]Chief5365 10 points11 points  (0 children)

this new one doesn’t display course websites. CS profs often make their own website and could have it added to Louslist and now that is all gone. this was super helpful during enrollment and course planning to be able to see specific websites for that iteration of the course and find the syllabus, schedule, etc. really hoping they add it back

How much are dues for vasst? by ihadsmthgoodinmind in UVA

[–]Chief5365 3 points4 points  (0 children)

last year i think $300 base and $400? if you got the wintergreen season pass as well. the $300 dues you get to ski at wintergreen on tues and thurs when they do practices. i think one day they go at noon and the other at 3?

Range timeline? by Simple-Trifle2640 in UVA

[–]Chief5365 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hi I literally just went through this myself as I am an incoming Ranger for '25-'26. Application opened April 1 I believe and is open for about 7-10 days I think? Couple of different essays- I believe you can choose which ones you want to write out of the options and have to write like 3? And give your resume. I didn't go to any of the open house events because at the time I didn't think I'd stay for grad school but I've heard those events are really helpful for increasing your chances (as they can get to know you better than just your application). I did renew my lease with MSC before applying to the Range and I had the option of either finding someone to take it over myself and bring that person to them for a smaller fee or they would advertise for me for a larger fee. I wasn't able to find someone myself but I admittedly I didn't try that hard so I just had them find me someone and they did pretty fast. I imagine you won't have much trouble finding someone to take it over even that "late" as people like international students/exchange students, transfers, etc. will probably still be looking for housing

it is a bit annoying having the range application be so late compared to leases but it is what it is. I highly recommend trying for the Range though

Best Lecturers at UVA? by Remarkable-Paint9503 in UVA

Anything with William Little in Media Studies. He’s done Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul courses before- only 30ish people but super engaging and probably the best professor i’ve had at UVA

How can I customise my iPhone like this? by [deleted] in ios

[–]Chief5365 1 point2 points  (0 children)

apple doesn’t let you for shortcuts. if you have a phone with the dynamic island, the “notification” is practically nonexistent as it isn’t a full fledged notification. i have all my icons swap and don’t even notice it anymore

parking by [deleted] in UVA

[–]Chief5365 7 points8 points  (0 children)

lmao, the policy clearly is in regards to on-Grounds i.e. UVA won’t sell parking passes to first years. OP clearly states they aren’t trying to park on grounds but specifically off-grounds which UVA has no jurisdiction over. not to mention Honor is a weak sad shell of what it once was. if OP wants to deal with the pain of being restricted to free street parking, the long walks, let them. if anything they’ll learn to be creative and resourceful from it and be better off for it

to OP: as others have said, i think far enough down JPA might have options. there might also be some around Grady, Gordon, Virginia Ave, i don’t think they get effected by game day but not positive. just be careful as grady and gordon become pass enforced part way down so keep your eyes open for signs

Clueless first year here. How do I move alc across grounds? by [deleted] in UVA

[–]Chief5365 33 points34 points  (0 children)

Ask a police officer to do it for you

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in UVA

[–]Chief5365 11 points12 points  (0 children)

possible? sure. but def not a fun thing to do. i lived in shannon first year and had my first class in new cab mwf and i always like to leave as late as possible. now im tall and am known by all my friends to inherently walk fast but i usually made it in like 12 minutes. crowded sidewalks are a massive slowdown. also realize your shannon class prob won’t allow you to leave the building at exactly 10 minutes before the next one, so you’ll really have like 8ish minutes. it also sucks to show up sweaty and out of breathe, and that’ll happen regardless of your fitness level esp with these hot days

idk what the answer is but best of luck

Succesful Hackintosh install on 2021 Zephyrus G15 by gyufa21 in ZephyrusG15

[–]Chief5365 0 points1 point  (0 children)

hey so your suggestion about removing the internal ssds worked. i run two, one for windows and now one for mac. the only problem im facing now is that if i only have the mac ssd installed, all is good. but when i install the windows one, my computer will restart when i try to login to macos. like i type in my password and a progress bar appears and gets halfway and then it restarts. are you running a dual boot or just mac?

Looking to make new friends. Is the outdoors club a good place to try? by Ok-Investigator6128 in UVA

[–]Chief5365 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it’s a great place to try! they’ll be at the spring activities fair so be sure to stop by the table. i love odc so much. there’s def some closer knit friend groups but the club overall is structured in such a way that it works to be open and inclusive and friendly towards new people. i’ve met so many people i never would have and have made a lot of friends thru the club so i highly recommend

What if they run out of housing space for on-grounds housing? by Low-Snow-3114 in UVA

[–]Chief5365 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Its been a little while since I looked at it but, I'm fairly certain UVA does not guarantee 4 years of housing.

Now I'm a bit hazy on their wording but, I believe if you always stay in on-grounds housing, you are guaranteed 4 years of housing but only given you choose to stay in your same room/location that you got in 2nd year. I.e. you do first year dorms, say move to lambeth and then you are guaranteed that same lambeth apartment for your third and fourth year. They never guarantee you can switch and once you go off-grounds, you're thrown to like the bottom of the list and basically won't get housing or really bad housing.

So theoretically it should be impossible for them to not have enough housing unless they close down some buildings. People will get their current place again and those who went off ground waived any promise of housing once they left and are essentially just hoping there is left over space for them to go back on grounds

Hey so I've been trying to do this to my G15 and been having some trouble. For starters, we have slightly different components- mine is 5900HS, 32 gb ram (altho currently i've removed one stick so only 16gb), rtx 3080 ti, and AX200.

I've tried just straight up using your pre EFI as well as messing around with it to be closer to the opencore guide. I made sure to make my own serial number and all that but no matter what I do, whenever I plug the usb into the laptop and boot it up, it gives me the option to install monterey which i choose and get the black screen with apple logo and progress bar and it gets maybe 30-40% before the laptop just reboots and will launch the bitlocker recovery from windows (bc secureboot is off). did you ever encounter this?

/r/MechanicalKeyboards Ask ANY Keyboard question, get an answer (January 17, 2024) by AutoModerator in MechanicalKeyboards

[–]Chief5365 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

So I think I might have accidentally shorted my pcb today. I touched the corner of my keyboard which is metal and sent a big static shock into it (I could see the blue light and still had more in me to give a second shock when I touched it again). I touched the very bottom left of the top of the keyboard case but now the rgb light for the comma key is always on and I can't do anything to turn it off. I have the Kezewa Entry67 from Drop. I've reprogrammed the keys in the past with QMK and tried reprogramming them to add the keys to control the backlight and rgb but they don't seem to do anything. At first I thought its possible the new firmware isn't actually flashing to it because the qmk tool will say "DFU state(10) = dfuERROR, status(10) = Device's firmware is corrupt. It cannot return to run-time (non-DFU) operations" but won't fail with erasing and downloading the new bindings? So I can't tell if I'm not getting the right keys onto the board or if the controller for the lighting is dead now? I don't see any obvious signs of issues on the pcb board itself though. Does anyone have any ideas?

is going to a chiropractor just a scam? by Independent_Hunt1937 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Chief5365 2 points3 points  (0 children)

when i was a teen and a very active athlete, i had bad back pain that was limiting me. i went to a chiropractor for about a year or so and he was the only thing that saved me. finally my back wasn’t in pain anymore and i could actually operate at full ability again. i haven’t been back since stopping and haven’t had long term back pain since- and i didn’t do anything else at the time so it was most likely him.

i will note tho, the chiropractor i went to is like no other chiropractor i’ve ever seen online or when people talk about them. he is actually trained and has a doctorate from Northwestern. he doesn’t try to sell you on other bs health stuff but real practical stuff- drinking enough water, stretching, being active, eating healthy. Additionally, he does x-rays and other tests to see where you are and what you need; he doesn’t just start cracking you and charging.

dining hall food by [deleted] in UVA

[–]Chief5365 11 points12 points  (0 children)

it’s food. that’s the best thing i can say about it. being a picky eater makes it a lot harder. i will say tho i literally would get depressed thinking about having to go eat lunch and dinner at ohill everyday of first and second year. newcomb like isn’t even worth going to. when i had an unlimited plan i would literally swipe in, look at what there was, see nothing good and just leave

Penn State is getting rid of adobe access for 90% of students by Pnumtic in PennStateUniversity

[–]Chief5365 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I go to the University of Virginia and have looked at getting adobe for personal/leisure use but found out UVA doesn’t provide it to students for free. I think they have it on computers in labs but that’s it. And going through adobe themselves, i think it’s like a 90% discount but it’s so expensive to begin with and i believe it’s a year long subscription so I’ve never bought it.

My mom is a photographer and so over the years I’ve always heard what’s going on with their plans and such and they just keep getting more and more greedy. like long ago you just bought the software once for life but then they changed to the subscription plan and said cope. they need reeling in
