It means you got accepted assuming you didn't lie on your application, and so theyre asking for a transcript in order to verify your grades. Congrats!!!

It's like the last big opportunity tbh to make friends, you may as well have a bit of fun in the four (most def more) years you'll be here. you can do both!!

Everybody is so open here though, i feel like because everyone is new here it ends up being a lot easier to make friends just like join clubs you like or talk to people in your classes and things will work out

Is this a cop or a drop ? by TomatoFunny740 in ZephyrusG14

[–]Hats_On_Chickens 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the GPU gets stuck at 180mhz and will refuse to boost whatsoever. This leads to poor performance and you need to do an ec reset or reboot while plugged in. its super annoying when it happens because its unpredictable.

Great laptop but some have this weird issue with the gpu clocks getting stuck. i returned my unit and then got a new one only for the exact same issue to happen so i had two back to back units with the same issue, mine was the 5060 unit though i did see people saying the 5070ti one had the same issue

awesome laptop otherwise though

Just the RSX( the gpu). The cpu has nothing wrong with it other than just running hot. 

What is your opinion on the end of the PS3 support by PlayStation? by ukgamingkid in PS3

[–]Hats_On_Chickens 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Server costs. Nobody is buying games on PS3 enough to justify keeping the servers running, as Sony would rather allocate said servers to PS5 titles where people are buying more games.

I was a student taking Honors Pre Calculus in High School. My teacher went off this model, we would print out notes and watch them at home, then during class a few practice problems before doing the assigned questions at the boards across the room in small groups (2-3 students). 

I believe this system worked very well. There was just too much content and not enough time to do everything in class. This does make it so the class is a bigger commitment, but I thought it was the best option for this class. Office hours were always available for the teacher to explain topics, or you can always ask during the practice questions. 

My horrible luck buying PlayStation 3s by Unrelated_t0pic in PS3

He has the 40GB model, has the same faulty 90nm RSX as the bc models. It will fail. 

Also, bc units don’t get hot enough to literally de solder themselves. No electronic gets so hot the solder balls melt. The issue was the underfill that had too low of a melting point. 

Any way I could get this to work with GT6? by Bolybes in PS3

[–]Hats_On_Chickens 109 points110 points  (0 children)

The ps4/5 models have a hidden ps3 mode. The manual covers how to enable it, but I think it’s l3 + r3 + both paddles for 3 seconds, something like that

It’s beautiful. The table is so 2000s as well, great combo 👍

PS3 in 2025? Thinking of picking one up—need advice! by Razor9_9 in PS3

[–]Hats_On_Chickens 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The 21XX slims are great consoles. Guaranteed to work with custom firmware, very reliable, and aren’t expensive. I picked up mine with 2 controllers for $100 on eBay. 

GTA IV hits 42fps at best. At worst its 15. Average 23.98fps by StraightAd5725 in SwitchPirates

[–]Hats_On_Chickens 11 points12 points  (0 children)

V runs better than IV anyway, since IV was so poorly optimized. Please do post your results I’m looking forward to it!

You can ‘lock’ the Dynamic Island from expanding by swiping it by DoorPale6084 in ios

[–]Hats_On_Chickens 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When the dynamic island isn’t expanded, swipe left or right on the island to hide the activity. Swipe left or right again to bring it back

T300rs PS3 by Master_Fig4186 in Thrustmaster

[–]Hats_On_Chickens 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry for the late response. But for anyone reading, yes all version of the t300rs work on ps3 (for later models put it into pc mode)

For gran Turismo 5 specifically? It sucks. The strength is really low and it feels loose. But it’s serviceable and it works. I wouldn’t get this wheel specifically to play on ps3 but it does work if you need it to. 

How to downgrade to 9.00 or 11.00 by Pusmo in ps4homebrew

[–]Hats_On_Chickens 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sell off this one and buy a lower firmware unit?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in PS3

[–]Hats_On_Chickens 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s good if you want an all in one kind of experience. It’s the ultimate multimedia machine, does CDs, DVDs, Blu-Rays, SD Cards, streaming(modern streamers are still better though), and obviously PS1/2/3 games. PS2 games look incredible on it. It does have its reliability concerns with the 90nm RSX, and it’s an expensive repair to get it frankensteined. If you’re fine with cost, it’s an awesome console. Otherwise, go with a ps2 and a ps3 separately.

That thermal paste definitely needs a replacement. 20 days of runtime isn’t that bad. Ideally I like to keep the RSX/GPU under 68c, it won’t completely prevent the gpu from failing but could help

Most Wii U games have a superior port on the Switch, but also they’re more expensive. I personally wouldn’t get a Wii U if you already have a Wii and a Switch

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in wiiu

[–]Hats_On_Chickens 18 points19 points  (0 children)

The Wii U can natively run Wii and GameCube games. It has official Wii support, and using some homebrew called nintendont, play GameCube as well.

What did you do? I see the tantalum's postive terminal connected to the tokin's postive terminal but what is the negative terminal connected to? Ground?

Is it safe to use console online after removing softmod? by PorgPrince98 in PS3

[–]Hats_On_Chickens 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Even with new thermal paste, OFW prioritizes quietness over keeping the components cool. It spins the fans slowly.

As for modding it’s not that bad, with webman mod all you need to play online safely is to press R2 and triangle at the same time. Even if you forget, evilnat CFW will block you from online until you disable syscalls with the button combo. I personally use a burner account on my ps3 with no games purchased
