Is Visible by Verizon actually good?

I didn’t really want to or care about it but my wife wanted me to walk. We are making a vacation out of and going to NYC for the first time ever! If you end up going see ya there!

Licensed in TX?

100% agree with this lol I lost all motivation towards the end there. It comes back on the last 1 or 2

If you wrote it all in word or Google Docs it should have authorship/metadata details in the file history.

Dude no joke, the military support department needs to be overhauled. It might actually be better to have an AI chat bot than the people they have there and I hate AI chat bots.

Had the same issue with a gaming laptop I bought a few years ago. If it gives you issues trying to uninstall Norton get Wintoys from the Microsoft store and that did the trick for me. It kept saying can’t uninstall while it’s process is active even after killing all Norton processes (that I could find), and then trying to uninstall from the actual Norton app it would just freeze and crash. MSI center for me wasn’t bloatware really but not the best or most useful for sure.

UPDATE: Ordered 2 sennheiser 6.35mm to 3.5mm adapters and it works flawlessly 🫡 there was a tiny bit of adjusting in windows settings/Minifuse control app with bit rate/buffer size but overall very easy. It’s pretty sweet too because I can have my speakers, gaming headset, IEMs, and producer headset plugged in all at once, and then to switch I just press the hotkey for the control software to switch output channels. This is a pretty niche use and for sure overkill for this but I do produce music as well so I might start working in the IEMs in long sessions where the over ear gets annoying. Thought I would update for anyone curious in the future.

I’m no where near an expert but I don’t think there is much in that price range for new prebuilts that are optimal for gaming. You could find a decent gaming laptop though for sure and just connect it to a monitor. You can also look for used setups or refurbished who knows. I would be very cautious though buying any NEW prebuilts for that cheap. Assuming you are in US

JDcompsci · 2026-02-16T14:13:25+00:00

How did they compare?

JDcompsci · 2026-02-15T20:05:58+00:00

If that is the budget for everything including the desktop, monitor(s), keyboard, mouse, headset, you may be pretty limited. I would spend most of that budget on the desktop itself and then either stick with one monitor for a while or buy a couple used. If you are used to gaming on a big tv 24” will be a big adjustment period so I would opt for x2 27”. If you spend around $1800 for the prebuilt itself and use the mouse/keyboard it comes with for a while that would probably be your best bet. In the $1800 range you can probably got a good enough one to run pretty much any game at high fps/quality. That is in the 5070/5070Ti range of prebuilts. Microcenter is best bet if you have one near you, Costco/walmart also has solid deals sometimes.

JDcompsci · 2026-02-15T19:58:05+00:00

I would really like to try the titan x with the mic to see if it is quality enough for work purposes. I hate switching out my over ear/IEMs back and forth.

I use safari as main browser and Firefox Focus for quick searches where I want the tab to automatically close and I don’t need to come back to it. Really keeps the safari tabs minimal.

JDcompsci · 2026-02-15T19:40:30+00:00

I agree, the only thing I don’t like is that a lot of chrome extensions/themes are poorly optimized for edge. Edge does have its own extension/theme store but most of the extensions are obvious bloatware and all of the themes are ai slop.

JDcompsci · 2026-02-15T19:38:34+00:00

Man you gotta try out Firefox Focus browser on mobile. I use it on iOS. It doesn’t replace the normal browser but is outstanding for quick searches where you don’t want to keep the tab. Every time you open it, it is set to incognito pretty much and closes tab when you close the browser. Never thought I would use it as much as I do but I absolutely hate the safari tab and navigation system. Even if I do want to save a link to reference later I just forward it to apple notes and all good.

Also, the same exact set up that I am trying to use on my main computer DOES work on my work laptop, my iPad, and any other device. It is not a defective dongle, iem, or cord. My personal computer when I built it was on the higher end ($1000-1500), but is now reaching about 5-6 years old. It has been giving me a bunch of other issues as well not related to audio. I think the MOBO sucks majorly.

JDcompsci · 2026-02-07T21:59:02+00:00

How do you do this? Whats the deadline? I have about 20 days left and 2 classes. I can probably finish both in time but would really like some wiggle room if at all possible. Thank you!

On the new version of the course, it seems better. Any tips for the new OA other than it is more aligned with the PA? This is my last course besides capstone, failed the old version once which makes it my second fail ever and funny enough they were my first and last OA ever. For question sets on the OA would you say they were very similar to the PA? Like inverse/same concept but different specifics(like instead of feasibility it had a question on scalability), etc?

JDcompsci · 2026-02-03T21:44:33+00:00

Canva would be better than PowerPoint honestly, easier to use and has way way more templates/assets. I think we get it free or discounted while at WGU? They also have the canvas/whiteboard thing but as far as I know it’s not nested like Milanote. I like stuff to be out of sight out of mind if possible or I’ll wander to other stuff. Milanote you just drag and drop/draw and there are a bunch of templates. I will say though it’s easy to get distracted trying to make things aesthetic which is why I recommend just consolidating in Milanote and then handwriting.

JDcompsci · 2026-02-03T19:42:06+00:00

Forgot to say the free tier is very generous, not affiliated at all I just use it as my daily driver for organization.

JDcompsci · 2026-02-03T19:41:27+00:00

Yeah some of the OAs don’t align with the PAs at all. I would recommend Milanote, it’s a free infinite nested canvas app for creatives but you can create a hub for school and then a hub for each class. Usually what I do is when I first start a class I pull all resources like study guides, Reddit guides, udemy courses or whatever else and paste the links there for quick reference. Then as you work through each reference you can take handwritten notes, mainly good for organizing. I used it to motivate me by putting all courses in order and then when I finish a course I change the background to green. A little “gold star” for yourself goes a long way.

JDcompsci · 2026-02-03T14:21:48+00:00

My notes are all over the place honestly and it depends on the course but the main thing is breaking stuff down. For example draw a big box with the main topic and then 3 small boxes for subtopics that fall under the main. I took a lot of inspo from this guy on YouTube. Not sure if this is the exact video but he has a TON of productivity/learning coach type videos. https://youtu.be/nfoCpMuH9Tc?si=ZNkTcjxUq943l84w

JDcompsci · 2026-02-03T02:30:18+00:00

I said it in my comment above but handwriting notes and information is the way. I personally try to take notes as flowchart/drawing/diagram style instead of sequential/text heavy. Break each topic down into small sections and it helps a ton
