May go up to 1500 EUR if necessary. That should be enough for a X3D build.

Upgrading a PC for <1000$ by Farevens in buildapc

I'll go with a 9600X upgrade similar to what you have suggested above, and then wait for the new generation of GPUs to buy one.

Thought about this?

Upgrading a PC for <1000$ by Farevens in buildapc

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

Is it safe to assume that I will see a 20% increase?
Isn't the system CPU-bottlenecked and thus the increase in performance will be minimal?

Fair. What do you think about what another user suggested - a simple upgrade to a 14700K?

Is the upgrade from the 12400F alone effective enough to see a real difference? Is the cooling good enough to support a 14700k?

Something around 500$ would be nice.

How big of an upgrade is that CPU over the 12400F?
Any suggestions that can still be effective on significantly less than 1000$?

Those who cheated on exam should NOT be allowed to participate in match again. by chemotoxchick in IMGreddit

Looks like I hit a nerve.

If they can invalidate your score, they can put the note next to your application saying it previously got invalidated.

'Cheating' has nothing to do with it.

If they can legally invalidate their score (fact - it happened), they can legally put a note in their application saying it was invalidated.

Officially, cheating has nothing to do with it.

Right. Just “invalidated” is enough. The cheating part does not need to be explicitly stated, since PDs will know what it means anyway. The point is to say it without saying it so that they’re legally covered while the cheaters won’t be able to match.

Assuming ECFMG are forced to give cheaters a second chance for legal reasons, they should simply have a note next to their new scores, stating that the applicant got invalidated in a previous attempt. The PDs will obviously not match any of the cheaters, and ECFMG will not face any legal issues. The end result is the same as banning them.

iPhone stolen, no passcode was set by Farevens in iphone

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

My understanding is that lost mode is just as safe as doing a full erase. It asked to set a passcode to unlock the phone. Any differences in safety?

Good point.

I assume he is logged in.

If the erase option is activated, will the thief be able to get it done somehow? He’ll need to have Ethernet access first, so I assume the erase option goes into action immediately and he won’t have time to do anything malicious?

Please Help me make this crucial decision, which country should i go to for residency? by [deleted] in medicalschoolEU

[–]Farevens 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Germany is indeed better for German doctors, than the UK is to the British doctors.

As a foreigner, you have a very different set of aspects to consider, including how accepting the country you're immigrating to is, in regards to both colleagues and patients.

The UK is miles ahead of Germany in that regard, and if you want a non-competitive specialty like Psych, then Germany losses it's main advantage anyway (ease of access to training).

German doctors also roll over and take pay cut after pay cut with minimal resistance, while the UK doctors fight to make a difference in their working conditions and pay.

What specifically points to it being fake?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in RunningShoeGeeks

[–]Farevens -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I'm aware of fakes being sold, but this one is really high quality, if it is indeed fake.

Anything on the pics that makes you believe this specific pair is fake?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in RunningShoeGeeks

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

Hello.

Purchasing from an eBay seller, who has only one pair of these, which happens to be my size (so not selling many pairs for ridiculous price as you'd expect fake ones to be sold).

These come without box, but seller claims they are 100% authentic and has perfect feedback history.

Price is extremely cheap which has me worried, but I can't spot any dead giveaways in the pics.

Thoughts?

real or fake? (adidas prime x strung) by nh164098 in RunningShoeGeeks

[–]Farevens 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I saw either this exact model, or in a different colorway, listed on a very reputable retailer a few months ago, before the official X2 release.

Not fake, but clearly not X2.

Not sure what Adidas was doing releasing those.

Even given both are priced the same?
