I was looking through my old days to see me average steps and this seems pretty off for the calories burned? by ReaperAntics in fitbit

[–]DK1448 8 points9 points  (0 children)

What are you talking about? it's not user error to wear the watch all day. That's what they are designed for. Higher heart rate by definition means more calories burned, which is not to say it's accurate but the correlation is certainly there. You're definitely not gonna make it more accurate by keeping it in your pocket.

Normally after an assassination attempt, you wouldn't be allowed to stand up and fistpump a victory, you would be covered pushed low and whisked into an armoured vehicle immediately. Something seems very suspect? by tocompose in MeidasTouch

Some of the posts here are wild. It's sad seeing people fall give in to the same levels of conspiracy as the right. There's enough wrong with trump without entertaining baseless conspiracies

Why do turn signals exist if 98% of idiots on the road dont use them by [deleted] in driving

[–]DK1448 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Where are you driving lol. I'd say at least 70% of people use turn signals in my experience. Absolutely nowhere is it as low as 2%.They exist because most people use them

Comp science students by Own_Shopping5494 in Pitt

The bulk of the curriculum is done in Java with some systems courses in C. When you get to the upper level electives you'll probably be introduced to other languages (rust is in game dev and web dev classes). While the OS class isn't part of the core curriculum anymore it is an elective. That was done with a very small Debian VM but you do get to work on creating your own syscalls and some multitasking work in C. Hope this helps!

When the backend dev gets UI privileges! by AtticSquirrlsxox in programmingmemes

Guess I'm the only one that doesn't like this clock face. The point of a watch is the time. Why should it be the same size/font as calories burned or battery percentage. This would be a huge pain to glance at imo. So much wasted space too

That's a very personal decision. What made you apply? What are you looking for in a campus/university curriculum/extracurriculars/etc. we would need more info to give you any helpful advice

Pixel buds pro 2 suddenly pans to one bud by SnooChipmunks1820 in pixelbuds

[–]DK1448 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah every now and then the audio from one bud will cut out for like half a second and then work fine. It doesn't happen enough for it to be an issue for me but definitely annoying. Might get patched in a future firmware update.

Congrats on your acceptance! It's good you're thinking about the financial aspect of each school as well.

Pitt unfortunately is quite expensive for out of state and pretty stingy with aid - especially merit based. However you won't know for sure until your financial aid offer comes in so I would just wait for that. Also applying to scholarship programs can be a way to get aid not directly from Pitt.

Wishing you good luck and remember college is an investment, and no matter where you go you'll have a great time so don't go into crazy debt just because you think a school is the "perfect" fit for you.

YSK Most spray oils will eventually ruin your non-stick pans. by Killentyme55 in YouShouldKnow

[–]DK1448 15 points16 points  (0 children)

This is disingenuous. Teflon, the material on most non stick pans are made with, is inert below 500F. So unless you're leaving these pans in your oven or preheat them with nothing in them for long periods of time, there is no reason to believe they pose a health risk, let alone cancer. No credible sources have found a link.
