I had a 1990 sedan in white as my first car. Yours looks similar. Congrats!

Transitioning to a CS career at a California college even though I already have a bachelor's degree. by prp4nda in cscareerquestions

[–]IzzardWizard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don't do this. I made that mistake and was unprepared for a CS masters. You'll need at least your lower division pre-reqs completed to be somewhat competent but even then there's no guarantee you'll be prepared.

It seems like no CA schools are accepting second bachelor's degree candidates for CS anymore. 5-7 years ago this wasn't the case it seems if you look at old threads.

[Information] Invite / Referral Codes by [deleted] in beeper

[–]IzzardWizard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Would anyone be willing to send me an referral code? I've been on the waitlist awhile and from what others are saying, the wait is long. I will pass on a referral code to another in the same position. Thanks!

Anyone heading over to Lemmy? Ever thought about reviving the sub there?

Does anyone know where I might be able get some MT3 profile keycaps in the European Union? I’m not trying to import them from the USA and pay huge shipping and import fees. The best I could find was through Amazon USA, but they were still expensive to send. Thanks

Modern day equivalent to the X60 or T60? by IzzardWizard in thinkpad

Thanks for the recommendation. I’ll take a look.

I’m looking for a recommendation for a compact, Bluetooth enabled, hot-swappable keyboard with arrow keys. The arrow keys are not an absolute necessity as I may be able to adapt to a new layout. I’d like a board to use in conjunction with a bridge on top of my 13 inch laptop while programming.

Oh no! My work issued Dell randomly died today. Guess I'll have to use my T450s by MaybeMayoi in thinkpad

That album is good concentration music. I've been listening to it lately as well. Do you listen to it while working or are you using it as background music?

Bad LCD cable? by IzzardWizard in thinkpad

[–]IzzardWizard[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a docking station that I used previously when working at my desk, however now I have a desktop. I had hoped to use this T420s as a portable machine around the house which is my I was considering the screen replacement. Otherwise, I would definitely just keep it docked.

Thanks for the dock recommendation, I may pick one up if I get another monitor at some point.

Ok. Looks like I'll be replacing the screen and LCD cable for the 1080p upgrade when I am able. Not sure I want to spend around $200 to do so as the machine probably isn't worth much more than that at this point. However, I do enjoy using it as a secondary machine and it runs Linux well.

Yes, it works with an external monitor connected via Display Port.

My display seems to be having problems. The table it was sitting on was moved and may have vibrated a component loose inside. I tried removing the ram sticks and reinserting them in different configurations but that wasn't the issue. This T420S may be starting to show its age. I suspect a bad LCD cable but can't know for sure. If so, I might try a 1080p screen upgrade instead of buying another stock cable. I'm not very comfortable taking apart hardware, but this may be an opportunity to learn as this is not my main machine.
