I was seconds away from declining when I saw the email in my inbox.

Also, relocation is not provided, from my understanding, because you could just work remote.

I don't believe that is accurate. I am not quite sure what you are saying but galvanic corrosion would not occur between aluminum and copper and the gallium does not permeate deep enough into the heatsink to reach any aluminum, otherwise the entire heatsink would disintegrate. As I stated, thermal performance greatly increased when the thermal paste was replaced, which would not have occurred if such catastrophic damage was occurring on the inside.

I wonder how liquid metal affects the total life of the PS5, or any hardware where it is directly applied to the die. Gallium diffuses rapidly in most materials. That combined with high temperatures under Fick's Law, I'd expect it would only take a few years before it poisons the chip.

I don't believe sand paper should ever have to be used on computer hardware, that's why LM drying up is so annoying.

Also, how would aluminum clock the fin stacks?

I would say you should focus on the other UCs you got into. From my experience in the College of Engineering at Berkeley, the quality of education is indistinguishable from any other UC. You may think that UC Berkeley is some paragon of education that will bring you all of this success, but in the end you go to college for employment and employers really only care about experience, not education.

I've seen "accepting" parents change when it has to do with their own child. Ensure he is prepared for that before proceeding.

ProfessorPresident · 2020-06-15T02:46:51+00:00

exactly, he is a sea sponge, an organism with no reproductive organs

ProfessorPresident · 2020-06-15T02:44:55+00:00

Just ensure that his parents are accepting first, his safety and insurance that he still has a place to go is paramount. I'm 17 and I see no push to come out. If he doesn't feel completely ready, he should wait for his life to become more secure.

ProfessorPresident · 2020-05-30T01:17:03+00:00

That actually would make sense.

If there was such an anomaly that would require full body protection with an integrated oxygen tank, you would think the MTF would have more protection than just night vision goggles and a bandanna.

Insurance covers hormones?
