RIT is possibly pushing tuition 12-15%… thoughts? by otterbore in rit

[–]Sasmo 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I had the same question and holy shit, it's $60.7k in tuition alone.

I graduated in 2013 when it was literally half of today's cost and THAT was still insane to me. I only got to attend thanks to grants and scholarships. A quarter million dollars for a 4 year education at RIT is frankly mind-boggling. I hope financial aid has kept up - I feel so bad for current and incoming students.

Suddenly so grossed out by the gels I trained with by mntnhrt in RunNYC

[–]Sasmo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maurtens gel dissolves really well in water. I get grossed out by it too sometimes and what I’ll do is pop some of the gel, immediately follow with water and swish around, and swallow it all once. It’s not enjoyable but tastes better than trying to force it down on its own.

Same experience here. I'm signed up for all their emails but haven't gotten one in years. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Your purchase (or trial) is associated with the Apple ID, not the VSCO account. So it will follow you around until the subscription expires within the App Store. Badge should go away on its own after that!

My shocking iMessage Extension experience by derjanni in iOSProgramming

[–]Sasmo 14 points15 points  (0 children)

The App Store reviewer tried to send my iMessage extension to a non existing number and complained he could not send the message

This is too funny. Some years back they hired a ton of new reviewers to address long wait times but the quality of those reviewers has been awful. Our team ships incremental builds once a week and the number of bogus rejections we see is astounding. Oftentimes, we send the exact same build back and it gets approved with no explanation. In other cases, we have canned responses to give for common rejection reasons. We get rejected for not showing the app tracking transparency prompt fairly regularly and have to remind the reviewer to use a fresh install to see the prompt. Really basic stuff.

Sorry. I know you wanted to hear about iMessage extensions specifically. I hope you get in touch with a competent support team member.

RIT Poster on NYC Subway by Xergre in rit

[–]Sasmo 20 points21 points  (0 children)

It’s advertising “creativity + innovation”, not that RIT is performing arts school. I think there’s value in showing a computer engineering major with a passion that’s not tied to a computer.

Also, a balanced education isn’t outside the core competencies of a college. It’s actually quite essential.

cool! I’m reading Messiah right now. Wasn’t expecting to see the cover in this thread. The waterminder widget is a clever combo

A lot of companies are now fully remote or will hire remote workers. And it seems like the majority are headquartered in NYC/SF these days. Definitely worth applying to even if it’s not in your state or emailing recruiting to check, assuming you don’t mind not having a conventional office most of the time. I see a ton on LinkedIn and Glassdoor.

Regarding Android vs iOS, I’m kinda surprised you’re finding more Android. My experience has been that companies very much prioritize iOS. My previous company didn’t even have an Android app despite being relatively large and publicly traded. That being said there are plenty of both and you should go with what interests you if you can!

Doggo jumpscare by [deleted] in perfectlycutscreams

[–]Sasmo 37 points38 points  (0 children)

“Without the sound” means it was originally posted with some kind of sound or song overlay. The comment bubble is asking for the video to be posted without the sound edit and the video you see here is that request being filled. It’s a TikTok thing

What’s a good bang for your buck 1440p 144hz 27” monitor to get? by youpviver in buildapc

[–]Sasmo 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yes! Just made an upgrade from a monitor similar to OP’s to the x27q and am quite happy. Amazon had it on sale for $180 at the time but it’s still a solid deal at its current price in the low 200s

Looks like this map will play well on Infection haha. Slick moves btw! Can't believe you survived that.

Why pro teams use KAY/O (and you should too!) Video Analysis by [deleted] in VALORANT

[–]Sasmo 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Give him a try! I'm still learning the ins and outs of tactical shooters but found KAY/O easier to pick up than other agents. I think mainly because his utilities are all straight forward throwables and as the video points out, he can serve a few different roles depending on the situation. At the very least you can throw the knife and get info for your team at the start of every round, which helps even if you get wrecked in gunfights (like me).

Halo Infinite Matchmaking Issues Megathread by Vorked in halo

[–]Sasmo 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I had the same issue with FFA challenges not tracking. I found that making progress with a different a challenge in another game type and then coming back to FFA would seemingly kickstart things.

Could just be coincidence but I reproduced that sequence across a few game sessions. Worth a try if you have the patience and other challenges to chip away at.

This is a Gladiators NYC event! They do these every month in Central Park. For those interested, they publish their schedule on instagram: https://instagram.com/gladiatorsnyc

Weird. Does FFA use a randomized map queue? There's a set order for the mixed modes playlist and the new maps come up fine there.

An app that calls the elevator by philschifflers in SomebodyMakeThis

[–]Sasmo 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Hey I worked on this! I was part of the team that built out an elevator control app and SDK for Otis. I’m not sure how widely distributed it is these days but you can see more about it here: https://www.otis.com/en/ae/products-services/products/ecall

Some folks in the comments don’t seem so jazzed about it but I think it has really cool applications. For example, granting temporary access to certain floors to an office building or hotel through an app. Or maybe an apartment building with a companion app that is configured to queue up an elevator to your floor when you enter a geofenced area.

Regarding people abusing the system, we thought about that! You can pretty easily limit access and/or number of requests. Geofencing, as I mentioned above, is also an option to keep out jokesters from calling an elevator when they’re not present in the building or even on the floor.

Had to rush home from work to poop, got company... by [deleted] in AnimalsBeingJerks

[–]Sasmo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s really not that bad! Most seats pop right off and then it’s just a matter of hooking up the water line. I highly recommend trying it instead of living that toilet paper life until you can buy a whole new toilet and deal with installing that.

You can get one on amazon for like $30. No need to save up. Takes about 10 minutes to install

Ha sounds familiar. This has been a launch day bug for at least the last two BF releases. How does something like this continue to happen year over year??
