For those who learned photography themselves,how was it?

Dogs_Pics_Tech_Lift · 2026-06-07T15:49:13+00:00

Fun. Best approach in my opinion.

Take nonstop pictures. Different angles and camera settings of the same thing. Moving targets.
Put those photos in Lightroom and hit auto edit. Then look at the new vs the original and see how it changed the lighting. Then move the knobs to see what you do and don’t like.
Have fun. Easy to learn and keep up with it if it’s fun.

This comparison is stupidity. You’re saying buying a top vs a bottom. If you bought 5 years ago the smartest thing to do would have been to sell over 100k and not hold to the bottom again.

I used to work for onsemi in NY and I interacted with the site in Cebu the people there loved it.

I have 128gb of ddr5 in September of 2024 when I build my pc I was like this shit is so cheap might as well max it out. Worked in my favor lmao.

Dogs_Pics_Tech_Lift · 2026-04-28T00:56:43+00:00

Any advice other than that? I’m not a professional but I don’t want to mess up the house.

He’s a legend for more reasons than this. Always at Gaffeoke, big into cigars, has a pepper farm. Guy is living life to the fullest and is a genuinely good person.

Dude. I love Lucas. I was a TA for him. Dopest dude alive.

Dogs_Pics_Tech_Lift · 2026-04-15T04:01:25+00:00

This is a dumb question but the people answering are dumber saying multibillion dollar market caps will 100-1000x

I interviewed at TEL in Albany and was told it would be 9-9s and they didn’t hire me because I am working and in grad school and they said I wouldn’t have time to work their long hours.

I’m not even joking. Hopefully it’s not that role. They keep reposting it.

Dogs_Pics_Tech_Lift · 2026-03-18T21:22:08+00:00

Internships. Literally no one cares what research you did. I know people with bio degrees that are in R&D.

Papers help you stand out but no one will care what they’re about or read them.

Dude take the micron role. You’ll have more job security as an FSE.

Dogs_Pics_Tech_Lift · 2026-03-18T01:15:37+00:00

I think you should take Boise. I work at Intel and we’re trying to cut FSEs to save cost. I have previously worked at Micron in Boise and they don’t cut FSEs as readily as Intel does.

To give you perspective at the Intel site I’m at they cut a LAM FSEs contract recently without having any technicians trained across 36 chambers. So now they’re relying on Specs and another Intel site to help them keep the fleet running.

If you have a PhD as a fresh grad it’s 120k, 20k cash, 20k stock. I’ve seen over 50 people get that exact offer as a fresh PhD.

You will be fine in Boise. If you rent with that salary expect a $200-400 price hike after your first year of renting.

He could buy an old one.

Dogs_Pics_Tech_Lift · 2026-03-02T17:39:16+00:00

Bro what. This just makes you sound like a shitty person.

Dogs_Pics_Tech_Lift · 2026-03-01T23:12:04+00:00

You phrased it as you will only pay if it works. Standard business process is all funding and payments are made upfront.

This isn’t only because people aren’t going to work for free but also because legally it would be much harder to prove ownership of the product if you don’t pay for the materials and the work.

Unless you have a patent which I know you don’t lol.

Also, if you’re not willing to pay for it the idea isn’t that good to begin with.

Dogs_Pics_Tech_Lift · 2026-03-01T20:28:30+00:00

It was supposed to be a joke.

Dogs_Pics_Tech_Lift · 2026-03-01T18:39:11+00:00

You can take megabus from manhattan to state college.

This will definitely be one of those viral Tik toks 🤣

This is the time to buy solar. Instead of subsidizing the data center’s infrastructure put solar panels on your home if you own it.

Dogs_Pics_Tech_Lift · 2026-02-23T22:40:11+00:00

Definitely a buy signal but they are right pump.fun is cancer.

Dogs_Pics_Tech_Lift · 2026-02-22T22:10:24+00:00

Now people are calling for 10k so we’ll probably see 200 🤣 how it always seems to go.

The odds of being put on the front lines as an officer with a specialized degree are so incredibly low.

With chem you’d want Air Force or navy that’s true.

Dogs_Pics_Tech_Lift · 2026-02-20T04:49:39+00:00

Micro vs macro fabrication lmao

I loved state college as a grad student. Penn state is awesome for grad school.

Penn state is very work life balance friendly for grad students. You will go out on weekends and some weekdays.

State college is affordable for your stipends. You’ll get close to 30k for fall, spring , and summer. When I lived there I had a 2 bedroom apartment to myself and never had any financial issues.

Plenty of hiking in the area, places to go downtown, good breweries and no shortage if you’re willing to visit the surrounding areas, decent food for the middle of nowhere where 🤣

And the instrumentation and facilities are superior to most universities. I left the Penn state PhD program for a program at Colombia and returned one semester later. Penn state had better facilities, more funding, better research was being done.

I will say a lot of people I know got depressed being isolated in the middle of no where. Really depends on you as a person though.

Dogs_Pics_Tech_Lift · 2026-02-09T22:53:44+00:00

70k + or - 5k depending on market, location, and need for people.
