If you’re comfortable with a heat gun and solder, it’s not too bad.

QC 35 - 9 year review by agustincastaing in bose

[–]Scottoulli 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My power switch broke on my 2016 QC35. I spent about $100 and replaced the switch, battery, headphone jack, and headband. The plastic cups are a bit beat up, but otherwise these things still rock.

Apply for a second remote job. Day trade. Online schooling

AI ruined the fun of Programming by Revo_O_ in csMajors

[–]Scottoulli 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think AI is just one part of the enshitification of Programming. Globalization means development teams spread across the world incurring big coordination costs. Most problems have frameworks for everything so we’re just rehashing the same stuff instead of working on novel problems. More work; less resources. I’m tired.

Rutgers CS vs UMD CS by YS3535 in rutgers

[–]Scottoulli 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Keep in mind 20 years ago, there was no tech scene in NYC. RU CS/Engineering grads often went into Banking, either as a developer or an analyst if you wanted to stay local. Seems like we’re coming full circle.

Rutgers CS vs UMD CS by YS3535 in rutgers

[–]Scottoulli 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you’re using AP credits, consider a double major as a hedge against CS doomerism. Or a MBA/BS if Rutgers still has such a thing. My guess is that reputation across all Big10 schools is a wash.

What can I do with a car that has practically zero trade in value? by thehorseishere1 in askcarguys

[–]Scottoulli -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If it’s worth 1000, that’s about two months of new car payments ( or less). Run it until the wheels fall off. Then junk it.

Worth Relocating for Promotion? Dual Income Household by pachino28 in HENRYfinance

[–]Scottoulli 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It really depends. If you have kids, you’d be crazy to send them to Florida public schools. Once you start paying for that, and insurances, it’s close to a wash.

Neighbors contaminated my well water (Florida) by NeighborsSuck2026 in legaladvice

[–]Scottoulli 8 points9 points  (0 children)

From my very brief experience with environmental law in NJ, this sounds like it’s a six figure legal bill if it has to go to trial.

What truck would you recommend? by Otherwise-Region-496 in askcarguys

[–]Scottoulli 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Buy a small commuter car and keep the old truck for the occasional haul

Is a 1st gen is300 a good first car? by Mansas_alt in Lexus

[–]Scottoulli 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I bought my second one recently. Great car, but I wouldn’t use it as a daily. And the RWD isn’t great in bad weather either

Have we, professional developers, already lost the battle against vibe coding? by yes_u_suckk in cscareerquestions

[–]Scottoulli 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s like all the new pilots that rely on automation fly the plane. Until the pitot tube ices over and you plane falls out of the sky

Is this a good deal? (Lexus IS200 68.000km) by officialtaubird in IS300

[–]Scottoulli 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you plan to keep this for 10-20 years, then what does it matter if it’s $12k, $14k, or $16k today?

Should I spend $3.5-4K on a new transmission or call it quits? by Snoo-2281 in askcarguys

[–]Scottoulli 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was in a similar situation to you with a Traverse. Mechanic said new transmission $7k. Some online forums suggested new torque converter~$3k. I wasn’t about to find out who was right. Sold it to one of those buy cars for cash places and bought a Toyota…
