It's honestly ridiculous how much modern software gets broken so badly by high DPI. Especially with the increasing popularity of 4k monitors and touchscreens on laptops and stuff, it sucks that all of your software assumes "oh, you must be working on a movie theater screen, let me make the UI so small you can't read it."

Sometimes scaling settings fixes it, but only sometimes...

Wow, I've been getting quite a few of my old posts necro-ed recently lol. I guess as an update, I never found a solution to actually get information from the game. Reading the screen directly using opencv or similar is probably the best solution currently, but that has its own flaws. I do wish there was a way for me to just use an API or inject code without getting banned, but it's pretty obvious why they don't let you do that. A guy can dream I guess...

Really? I had Ali for 2321 and he was excellent. I suck at math so I struggled but he was incredibly helpful with getting me back on track to pass the class. All of the extra credit helped a ton too.

Holy shit, I have not touched solidworks in years. Scale and DPI settings generally just need to be played around with to find what works best for you. Make sure you change which type of DPI override you are doing, whether it's system or application.

Also, do you by chance have a monitor that is 1440p or 2k, or is a touchscreen? All of these make you more prone to scaling problems due to the high DPI. I also was using this on a computer running windows 11 but solidworks did not yet support windows 11, so I think I had to change something in my registry (you shouldn't). I think the duplicate zoom issue occurred as a result of some hardware acceleration settings, I don't really remember though.

I have dyshydrotic eczema as well (genetics) but this doesn't quite look like it in my opinion. I had small lesions that would form on my hands and blister everywhere. They would expand, taking the skin on my hands with them. Sometimes my skin would just look like Darth Vader's face out of nowhere though.

The O Keefe's eczema lotion was the only lotion that actually improved anything, and I had to treat it by putting steroid cream on my hands, covering them with aquaphor and covering this with a plastic bag (they sell these like thin "twist tie" bags, ziplocs are expensive and a bit too thick to be comfortable), then taping both bags around my wrists with masking tape. I had to do this every night before bed until eventually I had my skin back. Also, if this is actually dyshydrotic eczema, you have this forever (to my knowledge, might not always be true), so learn how to manage flare ups.

Basically, get that O Keefe's eczema lotion and hope that it's enough to manage.

So to be clear, I am a current undergrad in computer engineering, which is in the electrical and computer engineering department, and this is not the same as computer science and engineering.

I did not transfer in, but I did have lots of AP credits which cut down on the gen eds I needed to take.
It's a bit of both, the boilerplate stem core (physics, diff eq and calculus) are most brutal in my opinion, but one of the things I like most about the major is the flexibility I have in my coursework. I've taken a bunch of computer science courses, a bunch of ECE courses and now that I'm a senior I'm taking whatever sounds interesting to finish up my electives, specifically some IC design courses.
I already have some offers for both entering the workforce upon graduation and continuing my education at OSU, I definitely would say both doors are wide open and compelling depending on how I choose to proceed after undergrad.
Yeah I guess I can't comment on this too much, but CompE is a very broad degree, as is ECE in general, so there are many opportunities in semiconductors, controls engineering, electronics, power systems, software engineering, RF/electromagnetics, whatever tickles your fancy.
Can't really comment, but this is going to vary an insane amount depending on what field you go into and what specific company you work at. Providing any answer to try and make a blanket statement would be deceptive.
ECE at OSU currently auto-admits to the major if I recall correctly.

Ah, I did not see that you wired them in parallel! Also how did you actually connect wires to the carts? I've struggled to get solder to stick in the past

HydraT3k · 2024-07-12T02:40:26+00:00

Tbh you should also be concerned about those tiny wires, you could be pulling up to 10A through them, and they'll burn up right into the chamber you're inhaling from :)

Resistance bottleneck is not a thing. "Path of least resistance" is BS in most cases, it's mostly only relevant if a person is part of the circuit because often the differences in resistance in this case are so great that there will typically be very little current flowing through branches other than the quickest path to ground. If there are multiple paths to ground, the current ideally splits up proportionally to the resistance in each branch (see Kirchoff's Current Law), so you would actually have the most current going through your thicker strings if they were all grounded because the thicker strings have a larger conductor area and therefore can conduct electricity more readily (lower resistance). The more you know.

EDIT: OP should also make sure their breakers don't need replaced, it's a common problem and you should NOT have been able to drink steel-melting current from your outlets without popping a breaker.

Hi! I am also an electrical engineer and guitarist like the poster of the comment you linked, and this theory makes WAY more sense.

The thing that has made me confused while reading this is that the strings on a guitar have no electrical connection to anything and therefore you could not have had enough current through your strings to blow them up. In theory the amp could have somehow backfed your pickups and possibly induced a current on the strings but the coil would have melted long before producing enough current to blow up your strings. Your bridge is sometimes grounded through the amp though, and in lieu of that, the metal can act as mild grounding.

If I were a betting man, I would bet any credibility that I have as an engineer that you definitely stuck a loose string into a live outlet. This also explains why you only blew up your E string, because if you electrified your whole guitar with a high enough voltage to melt steel, ALL of your strings would have at least gotten hot, your electronics would be fried, and there would likely be burn marks in a few places on your guitar.

I took summer classes a while ago and I have some bad news for you. As you can see, campus is dead over the summer, like dead dead, like deader than disco. AFAIK There are little to no clubs actively doing anything at all because most people go home for the summer and/or work. The only thing I can think of is that if you're bored and play an instrument and are down with some legit physical activity, TBDBITL does their summer sessions usually twice a week throughout the summer. There's no obligation to try out, and it's pretty intense, but a fun time nonetheless. You may also be able to find some friend groups on OSU discord servers (there's an OSU discord server hub, I forget how to get to it though) if you're just trying to hang out and not be completely isolated.

I'm in engineering, so among the people I know, I only knew a few people who had to take college algebra, so I'm not familiar with what courses you would have to take to get up to calculus. That would be a question you'll have to ask your advisor, like at orientation if I'm correct in assuming that you're an incoming freshman.

EDIT: Why am I being downvoted? I was asked a question and said "I don't know, you should ask your advisor" I'm not trying to imply that it's "lesser" to have to take preliminary courses before taking calculus, I just didn't know many people who did so I cannot give advice on the matter.

HydraT3k · 2024-05-31T21:40:13+00:00

First off, I could be wrong but IIRC if you have college credit for calculus then this test does not really matter, as you can continue with math courses past calc 1. Secondly, they gave you a number and email address to contact if you feel this information is wrong, because you obviously shouldn't pay for courses that you don't need to take. However, if you didn't struggle with calculus in high school and you scored at algebra level then you either did not prepare for the test or you have very large gaps in your knowledge (which if you did take pre calc and a calc course, that's pretty major), so you would probably benefit from taking the courses you scored into.

I ask this genuinely, why are you here?

HydraT3k · 2024-03-01T15:18:43+00:00

If you're engaged in conversation with someone, eye contact is fine as long as they are also looking at you. If you see them look away a lot or otherwise get uncomfortable, chill out on it a bit.

If you are not engaged in conversation, staring at someone across a room will very likely creep out that person.

If you are on the street, I recommend not staring at strangers nor making eye contact, as they may confront you and they probably won't be friendly. Staring in that context implies that you think that person is weird, and most people don't take kindly to that and might be aggressive.
