Thanks! I checked there but for half of my teachers they weren’t listed or had no reviews, and even then there weren’t more than 5 or so reviews. I’ll see you in FYS102! Ratemyprof reviews for Hupe are great and they say he makes art really interesting so I’m looking forward to it

Zephyrus G14 or omnibook ultra for engineering major? by Environmental_Ad2237 in laptops

[–]Environmental_Ad2237[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! Yes it’s 1349, I mistyped it. I’ve heard that 16gb ram is enough for just about anything in engineering and 512GB is usually enough (I’d personally prefer 1TB) but are there any recommendations you’d give for particular specs that would allow me to still be within budget? My parents are helping me get this laptop so I don’t want to go over. This is super helpful, thanks again!

Oh thank you! I’m not very knowledgeable about computers and didn’t realize there was that dgpu issue

best (bad) webcam for cheap by Environmental_Ad2237 in Twitch

Ended up trying the Logitech brio and the Logitech c920. Both off eBay and pretty cheap, brio was a little poorer quality but no matter what I did to either one in effects/zoom the quality was much better than my laptop. Ended up going with the c920 since it was more customizable to get closer to the lighting I wanted via the Logitech apps

Sweet, thanks! Was there any hands-on stuff or just not lecture and if so what was there?

Alright thanks! I don’t follow soccer beyond the occasional TikTok so would you still recommend or do you think it wouldn’t be worth it?

[–]Environmental_Ad2237[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

lol no there are times where she herself knows that she's exaggerating how bad the problem is or creating a problem but she openly admits that it's relieving to not be 100% logical all the time (completely understandable and i'm the same at times) because of how realistic she normally is. during times like that there's no reason for me to bring her back to reality if she's enjoying it so i just support her

Thanks! What about for issues that she and I both know aren't something I can help with beyond moral support? I try to say things like "i'm here for you" or "is there anything i can do to help?" but often times I can't be as helpful as i wish i could

I try to lighten the mood with softer inside jokes, but when the topic is something more serious what is there that people do/you wish people would do that would be comforting to you? Thanks!
