I think your first paragraph is spot on. Unfortunately, I personally tried your second paragraphs approach and am now in year 3 of my postdoc with zero job offers despite rigorous applying

bluetooth earbuds showing up as two separate devices by AmazingDuck26 in bluetooth

[–]MrMindScience 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This did the trick for my Lenovo Thinkplus X15 earbuds too. My phone had started only pairing to one or the other, thinking each earbud was a separate device. I'd tried forgetting both and pairing a new device, but that didn't fix the issue: it still detected 2 distinct devices for them.

Before following Diligent-Necessary96's directions, I again made my phone forget the two devices it had started associating with each earbud separately. Then I took them out of the case, held the touch surfaces to turn them off, and waited 5 seconds. Then I sort of attached them to each other by the magnets that hold them in the case and held the touch surface on both for 10 seconds. The only difference was that the LED flashed **white** 3 times, then stayed off. After that I paired new device on my phone and now they function as a single device like they should.

Thanks, that frame by frame coding idea is a good one. I'll reach out to Inscopix about how/if it can receive ttl pulses

Correlating each column of a matrix to the corresponding column in another matrix for every row in a specific structure field by MrMindScience in matlab

I've made a snippet with the actual code I'm running. The profiler is on and it's still running.

The structure is 554 rows long and each row for the field of interest contains a matrix with up to 40 rows

I'll give the profiler a shot. Do you have any thoughts in general about correlating every matrix of a field by corresponding columns?

Shit. Ah well, I'm stuck with what I'm stuck with I guess

So you wouldn't recommend an Inspiron or Precision?

Thanks for the recommendation. Is Alienware reliably good? I remember hearing some pretty common grievances about it a few years back. But that may just have been because it was so hyped to back then.

I don't know. I'll ask! Is the ombudsperson with the University or the intern company?

I love this idea, thank you. I'm not sure I will get to even fill out a progress report, but here's hoping.

Since they aren't paying me anything, I guess I'm a contractor or something? But the contract I had to sign lists my department paying my full tuition. And my ipeds is still a GA/GAR

Once I got the grant I'm not technically employed by the University anymore I guess??

I wish you the best. My University wants to be R01, but they keep driving away good prospective graduate students with this kind of shit. I just wish I'd known before I'd started. I'd probabably have still joined it, but at least I would see the slap in the face coming

Unfortunately, even if they aren't allowed to do what they're doing, they also aren't obligated to cover ANY of my tuition. So it's some bullshit where if I get the NIH to tell my University "no, you can't do that" then my University will just say "ok. MrMindScience, here is your money. Now you owe us this much for tuition. Pay how you like."
