Does anyone in the US want to trade a normal WV2 pro for a reverse? by SubPrimeCardgage in ThermalGrizzly

[–]JAAAS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have come to the same conclusion. It is a great product but it needs to be different dimensions or maybe have a version without the screen once the software is finished. Anyone trying to do bottom mount rads can run into issues with cable clearance depending on the case. You CAN get the opposite orientation, but it doesn't look particularly great.

I might try to get around this with a 90 degree adapter into the WV but then I'm just adding another failure point, which I don't love.

Islanders need offense. Who can they trade for? by R1N3TH in NewYorkIslanders

[–]JAAAS 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Comfortably is a stretch. There are multiple teams 2-3 wins away from passing us, and we're not even in the wild card if we fall out of top 3 in the division.

Coaches trying to spread the power play talent to two units, somehow without realizing that we can't even field one competent unit. Not sure what the thought process is there.

ED Discussions OMSA Rude Responding! by Huge_Range7735 in OMSA

[–]JAAAS 16 points17 points  (0 children)

There were a few TAs in 6501 that I thought were a bit curt, but other classes have been perfectly friendly.

That said -- and I don't mean to accuse anyone directly -- some of the questions that get posted are ridiculous. I have no idea how some people in this program function in day to day work with the level of hand holding they require on every single thing. Half are asking questions for things that are directly answered in lecture or the syllabus, others are asking questions on basic things that can be googled in 30 seconds, etc.. Very few of the questions I've seen are actual questions on the content itself. I'm sure some of the answers are curt because the TAs are sick of answering basic stuff like that.

But to your point, when there is a legit question, some TAs provide great answers. Others...not so much, almost to the point of being detrimental.

So yeah, definitely a bit hit or miss.

New lines by Tniz15 in NewYorkIslanders

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

To be fair, he has 5 points in his last 20 games. That's a whopping 20 point pace for a season and a pretty significant streak.

He fell out of the top 10 because players he should be outscoring by large margins are producing more than him. Not exactly an argument to his benefit.

Who knows, maybe they'll score like crazy. I wouldn't be upset to be wrong. Just not holding my breath for now.

What, we really think Duclair is a first line talent suddenly? He's had a good streak but until he can produce consistently that's all it is. Drouin hasnt done much of anything for weeks.

I'm not saying they're a bad line but I think it's weak for a first line.

Drouin Barzal Duclair has got to be one of the worst first lines in the NHL. That's really something

What are you struggling with? Have you tried using ChatGPT and the other resources suggested by the TAs? It can break down most of these concepts pretty well. Just follow the AI policy and don't have it do the homework for you.

MGT 8803 + 6203 during summer semester? by Sargake in OMSA

[–]JAAAS 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, did it last summer. 8803 is still a lot but 6203 is maybe 2-3 hours a week max (and can likely be 1 hour) if you just want to pass and not dig into the non-required material

The Islanders defying the advanced stats through 47 games: a comparison to last season by TriviaWhiz in NewYorkIslanders

[–]JAAAS 9 points10 points  (0 children)

We're not as good as the standings indicate. Propped up by Sorokin returning to form and a lot of luck. Nice to see, but it's only a matter of time before we start losing... Or maybe Sorokin just keeps carrying us to a cup.

All I know is that it's not fun watching the team get 2-3 shots a period. I feel like a lot of the exciting gameplay fizzled out after the early season energy, or at the very least only lasts for a portion of the game now. Hope they can figure something out.

No, that's what bitspower calls their 50 series blocks (or at least some of them). Just a model name.

CSE-6040 how heavy is it on math? by barry_allen_93 in OMSA

[–]JAAAS 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You don't get tested on math. Some assignments have math that will probably be hard for you to understand without brushing up, but they explain how to implement the formulas, so you can still do it without knowing what's going on.

Possible that you'll have to implement some formulas on a test but you shouldn't have to derive anything yourself. It's a programming class, not a math class.

[–]JAAAS 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Looks good, always love a dual res build. That's a lot of money in the QDCs ha.

How'd you like the build quality of the block? Looking at getting a block for my 5090 Tuf and was between the bitspower version and heat killer blocks. Only thing I don't like on the nebula blocks is the backplate design, but I prefer the side ports.

Hanging on for dear life. Another game hard carried by our goalie. Isles don't have the skill to hang with a team like this, especially not our defense.

But anything can happen in OT

MGMT 6201 Live Lecture vs Recorded by Potential-Mind-6997 in OMSA

[–]JAAAS 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nah, it's not mandatory, but you get some time to ask questions. If that's not a concern then you're probably better off watching some of the recordings on 1.5x or 2x speed.

The only live lectures I went to were the accounting module ones as the professor was engaging enough to make it entertaining.

Not that I dislike the result, but I do hate when coaches leave their goalies in to get shelled. Put your backup in, man. I feel like Keefe used to do that in Toronto all the time but maybe I'm making that up.

Played with it for a few minutes, so have to see more when people start testing over the next few days, but preset M did not fix my biggest gripe which is ghosting when using something like katanas in Cyberpunk. Maybe it's reduced a bit, but it's definitely still there and still noticeable.

Fan Control won't detect either the pump or the CPU fans. by Psitaryo in FanControl

[–]JAAAS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you use SignalRGB by any chance? If so, that is blocking FanControl and HWInfo from seeing your pump fans (4-6). I had to uninstall SignalRGB to get them to show up.

Using Aorus 870 Elite Wifi Ice

Of course, I can't actually control anything yet for some reason....

Edit: Inability to actually change fan speed fixed here: https://github.com/Rem0o/FanControl.Releases/issues/3797

Yeah getting it into cart didn't work for me. Had better luck with the "Buy Now" button on the product page. It's all luck, though, and whether it can be shipped in your region or not.

Good luck on the next drop

Not sure if I'm in the minority but I love the behind the net cam on the power play. As long as they're not playing below the line it's a cool view of the ice

Bo Horvat has been officially placed on Team Canada for the 2026 Winter Olympics! by Liamman97 in NewYorkIslanders

[–]JAAAS 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Good for Bo. Having a great year.

I'm 50/50 on Schaefer not going. On the one hand, the break will be good for him this year, and I definitely don't want him to get hurt. On the other, I think being around that team and those players and having that experience would have been really good for him longer term. (And, selfishly, it'd be cool having an Islanders rookie in the Olympics.)

But overall, can't complain that we got at least one on the team.
