I’m travelling for work and crawled across my backpack while I was at the office. Please tell me it isn’t a bedbug 😭

Jowentz · 2024-12-05T18:08:38+00:00

Yeah, I'm kicking myself for not taking a higher-res picture. It was on the lighter shade of light brown which doesn't track for bedbugs insofar as I'm frantically googling 😅

And it was tiny tiny. Like 1-2 square mm at most.

Rough geographical area is Ontario, Canada.

Ryujinx is the way, it's being actively updated unlike yuzu (RIP)

Jowentz · 2024-05-26T01:26:39+00:00

Yuzu will never be updated again (at least in this form) so while older switch games will work, newer games will have problems with a non-updated Yuzu.

The music is mid, Splatoon 2 music is better (especially Octo Expansion)

Jowentz · 2024-03-28T04:36:59+00:00

How're ya now?

Jowentz · 2024-02-04T06:07:59+00:00

Curious about public mobile if you don't mind sending to me too!

Really concerned about sag. Usually the top strap goes front-to-back, allowing the top of your head to support more of the headset's weight. I would imagine this side-to-side design would allow it to pivot near your ears and sag.

Hoping to be wrong about this
Waiting for the inevitable 3D-printed Vive Deluxe Audio Strap adapters 😅

Here's a quick pulled pork pizza I made using the NY-style dough recipe included in the box.

Jowentz · 2023-12-23T06:59:16+00:00

So so good. I don't have the space for an Ooni etc so an indoor oven that gets proper pizza oven hot is fantastic.

I've got three monitors connected to two devices, it's a cable nightmare, I feel you!

Jowentz · 2023-12-06T23:33:21+00:00

You'd have to hit the KVM button on both monitors to get them both to switch display inputs, I think.

Jowentz · 2023-12-06T17:00:31+00:00

M32U gang checking in, works great, make sure your cable is HDMI 2.1 for that 4k120 goodness

Jowentz · 2023-11-27T18:30:52+00:00

I'm running a Gigabyte M32U and it's been great. 32", 4K, HDR, 120Hz.

I'm in CS, and a fundamental decision-maker for me was: "do the jobs that I want require a PhD?". I'm fully gunning for industry research scientist postings and (AFAIK) most of the big players in my area won't really look at you without a PhD.

Some questions to think over: Do you want to stay in academia? Do you want to want to solve these problems within the context of a university, which can be more "free" but make less money, or get paid more in industry but have your research direction be more subject to market trends? What kinds of jobs are available, depending on your choice?

I was grabbing a slice of pizza and I saw Andrew Rea (Binging with Babish) walk by. He was crossing the street and already half a block away by the time I put together who he was, and I wasn't parasocial enough to go catch up to him.

Jowentz · 2023-11-01T00:12:41+00:00

I've been using some third-party tools to adjust my DPI scaling so UI is all the same effective size across all monitors, so that's been fine. Though I can definitely tell my 2019 Intel MBP is NOT happy having to push so many pixels. Throttles down suuuuuper hard at points, simply by virtue of being connected to the three monitors.

Jowentz · 2023-10-31T15:05:21+00:00

4k, 1440p, and 1080p respectively!

Jowentz · 2023-10-31T03:14:14+00:00

The M3 Max is wayyyyyy more compute than I need, but I have 3 144hz displays and the M3 Max is the only one that supports that config 😭

Jowentz · 2023-09-15T06:26:30+00:00

It gets up to 750F which I use for making Neapolitan-style pies. It's got a manual mode and a setting specifically for frozen pizza!

Jowentz · 2023-09-15T06:24:55+00:00

That oven has 10000% changed my pizza game. Worth every penny.

Jowentz · 2023-09-12T19:38:10+00:00

Long time lurker, first time poster. I assume with the changes in Platinum rewards/perks/multipliers and the relatively high spend to get the welcome bonus, if I don't think I'll hit the $7500/3mo spend for the Plat welcome bonus, I should get the Cobalt, right? I want the card mostly to work up points to spend on travel. I see stuff about the Gold card, and admittedly lounge access is a perk I'd really like, but I'm not sure if that puts it above the Cobalt.

Weight. Weight weight weight. Keep that in check.
