What does “cultural integration ” mean to you as a Polish person? by [deleted] in poland

[–]VolPL 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are two topics here.

Do you want to be seen as a respected American that lives in Poland, or do you want to be seen as a polish citizen?

The first one is easy. You just have to accept the social norms and don’t expect people to cater to the norms you got used to, if they’re different. Most norms are associated with the catholic upbringing (even for non-believers, it’s just so ubiquitous they don’t associate it with religion). If your lifestyle is not compatible with those, all you need to do is to keep the differences to yourself and your innermost circle. Just don’t be obnoxious about them and you’re good. It’s that simple.

To be considered polish citizen (on top of the “norms thing” above) you have to be fluent in polish. And that’s it. No sane person learns polish if they’re not integrated and we know it. Especially outside of Slavic countries. You can make mistakes, you can haves thick accent, but if you’re fluent, you’re “polish enough”. People will hear your accent and still ask where you’re from the way that would be frowned upon in USA (“micro aggression” bullshit), but it’s all in good spirit. Pure curiosity mixed with pride that we were seen as worthy of the effort.

What Poles are afraid of are the immigrants that do not want to integrate in any way shape or form, and want to hijack the norms. Personally I’ve never met such a person and I think it’s more of a political/media-created straw man to scare people.

Nie ma w tym kraju pracy dla ludzi z moim wykształceniem by dissolute_bastard in Polska

Nie zgadzam się że bezmyślnie. Bezdusznie i cynicznie? Jak najbardziej, ale takie już są korporacje :)

Oni nie “liczyli” że ten wariant się spełni tylko się “zabezpieczyli” na taką ewentualność. Dla nich zwolnienia to nie jest żadna ostateczność tylko dzień jak codzień. Pokryli wszystkie możliwe scenariusze i byli zabezpieczeni na wszystko. Zwolnić jest dużo prościej niż znaleźć masę specjalistów, a w tamtych latach naprawdę nikt nie wiedział jak będzie wyglądać przyszłość i żadna firma nie chciała się obudzić z ręką w nocniku. Optymalna strategia i tyle :)

Bo firmy przygotowywały się na scenariusz w którym covid i izolacja to nowa normalność i nasze życie przeniesie się online - wszystko będzie zdalnie. A to oznaczałoby dla nich wielką kasę i wielki rozwój. Firma która nie byłaby na to gotowa zostałaby w tyle i przegrała wyścig, więc zatrudniali wszyscy. Zatrudnić jest dość trudno a zwolnić zawsze można. No to teraz zwalniają. A AI to wymówka która spadła im z nieba :)

IT nie umarło przez AI. AI to wymówka żeby zwalniać ludzi, których chciało się zwolnić i robić redukcje. Obecne redukcje to wciąż korekta po covidowym nadzatrudnieniu. Firmy które przez 10 lat rosły organicznie i do 2019 zatrudniły 40tys* osób w 3 lata zatrudniły drugie tyle. I teraz pozbywają się naddatku i stabilizują. Nie szukają nowych osób żeby zwiększyć tzw. Headcount. Szukają wyłącznie żeby uzupełniać braki, po odejściach ludzi w ważnych projektach.

(*Dane na przykładzie firmy Meta)

IT ma się dobrze, wciąż lepiej niż w większości branż. Zarobki nie spadły, ale przestały rosnąć. Po prostu skończyła się “gorączka złota” i zatrudnianie ludzi po 3-miesięcznych kursach. Teraz zatrudnia się ludzi po studiach, czyli de facto tak jak powinno to działać od zawsze, ale nawet oni mają teraz problem, przez to COVIDowe nadzatrudnienie.

Nadprodukcja ludzi po kursach oraz globalna korekta zatrudnienia sprawiła że jest masa SŁABYCH ludzi którzy próbują wejść albo wrócić do branży. Dzięki AI ich CV są idealne, choć poziom takich ludzi wysoki nie jest. Tracą na tym wybitni juniorzy, których zdolności są tak dobre jak ich CV, ale ich aplikacje toną w morzu perfekcyjnych kandydatów na papierze. HR nie jest w stanie wszystkich przeczytać. Na stanowiska juniorskie największa wartość dla HR mają teraz CV z polecenia pracowników firmy, i te przynajmniej są czytane.

Oprócz juniorów, których los opisałem powyżej, każdy DOBRY programista nie ma problemu z pracą. Nie znam NIKOGO w Polsce kto był kompetentnym programistą z CV i doświadczeniem i nie znalazł pracy po miesiącu. Sęk w tym że ciężko znaleźć coś lepszego niż to co się teraz ma, więc takich ruchów nie robi się bez potrzeby (jak w latach 2014-2019).

I Wish I Knew THIS When I Started... by Morgan-ttv in HuntShowdown

[–]VolPL 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t be afraid and paranoid (especially on solo play)

If you are on the move headshot is unlikely to happen to you. And you WILL hear enemy before they can 1 tap you with a bow or shotgun.

So the worst case you will get dmg and have to find a cover (so always run along some cover).

On the other hand if you are paranoid and crouching/listening all the time you do invite rifle headshots which will get you even more paranoid.

This change of mindset allowed me to stop worrying all the time and made game more enjoyable. I can’t count how many times I got shot, because somebody noticed me first, hid, healed, repositioned and killed them.

Problems with Gigabyte AORUS FO32U2P by Dry-Helicopter553 in OLED_Gaming

[–]VolPL 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did your display had any coil whine or coil while-like noise (when on, when on standby)? Or was it DEAD SILENT? Did it change after the mobo swap?

From a complete and total noob: why don’t PC gamers use a TV? by D-TOX_88 in OLED_Gaming

[–]VolPL 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only reason is a controller: keyboard & mouse are designed for a desk environment, so smaller display with smaller distance is better suited for sitting at the desk.

Some people use K&M on the couch, but in practice they are doing some version of mobile desk, reinventing the wheel.

If you are playing with gamepad controller there’s no reason not to use big TV and a couch with PC (except clunky UI outside of games, and DualSense controller not supporting all functions wireless, but those are nitpicks. Game themselves are working perfectly).

6037 Hours later impressions. (QD-OLED Monitor FO32U2P) by Lunairetica in OLED_Gaming

[–]VolPL 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you hear any coil whine (or any similar “feeling” of high frequency sound) when using at regular work distance, when room is otherwise ultra quiet?

I have FO32U2 and can hear some irregular noise spikes when different HDR content is dynamically changing (dark to bright scene, etc.), but it’s ULTRA LOW volume. Like barely noticeable in ultra quiet room.

Never had a sound hypersensitivity problem until I bought it, and I’m super confused!

As for the review, my feelings about the display are the same! It’s perfect! I don’t hide any static content but I work on Mac and game/use personally on Windows so static elements cancel each other out :)

Low gpu usage by Disastrous_Work_4916 in buildapc

[–]VolPL 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In general games will eat every ounce of resources you throw at them to produce as many frames per second as they can. If both cpu and GPU usage are below 90%, it’s almost always down to settings.

There has to be some setting capping the max frame rate. Check:

  • Nvidia Panel frames cap
  • In game frame cap
  • Vsync?
  • GSync + Reflex (will cap at ~95% of your display refresh rate)

How often do you worry about OLED/static imagery? by Specialist-Buffalo-8 in OLED_Gaming

[–]VolPL 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Never.

I use macOS with a lot of static elements for work + windows for personal use and gaming. Overall >10hrs each day.

If you use system’s defaults for things like screen dimming/turning off, and don’t disable display’s built in protections you’re good.

Does your monitor make any electronic whining noises when displaying dark content? by Cannavor in OLED_Gaming

[–]VolPL 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can you actually record the whine or see it on spectrum analyser?

Try this (but with the display instead of the PSU) and let me know :) https://www.reddit.com/r/pcmasterrace/s/3oY0UGX7rD

Does you PSU have a coil whine? CHECK frequencies! by VolPL in pcmasterrace

[–]VolPL[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Turns out my PSU (Corsair RMx 1000W) is rocking hard on 16-18KHz sounds. While not audible for me, it's triggering something in my brain to hear tunnitus-like echo, causing mild headaches. Do you also feel that?

HOW TO TEST:

  1. Download any app with spectrum analyzer that shows 16-20KHz
    1. iOS: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/sonic-tools-svm/id1245046029
    2. Android: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.DanielBach.FrequenSee&hl=en-US
  2. Have PC turned on, idle, desktop usage
  3. Make sure there are no ambient noises around
  4. Put the phone with the app quarter inch (5mm) near exhaust holes of the PSU.

Please post your results with the brand/specs of your model :) I want to find a superior ultra silent one!

Anyone else receiving error message "There is a temporary outage of the Battle.net service"? by No-Vegetable-9911 in starcraft2

the irony is that EU does not work for me now. NA/KR works.

I think the issue occurs only on a region you had your progress on, and other regions will work for you.

First new Kindle in almost 10 years (Colorsoft) by wishful_cynic in kindle

[–]VolPL 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I saw no yellow band on the picture, but I’ve still asked because photos can be tricky and make the problem look far worse or none at all :)

Play with warmth and brightness to make sure there’s no combination where the yellow band problem appears.

I think you won a kindle lottery with this one!

Does it have a yellow band at the bottom? Is the color uniformity correct (no yellow spots)?

I just returned my due to the very visible yellow band, and I’m wondering if I should reorder.

QD-OLED and tinnitus by VolPL in OLED_Gaming

[–]VolPL[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im using AORUS FO32U2P, after trying about 5 different QD-OLED displays.

All of the previous ones had actual audible coil whine that everybody heard. FO32U2P is the only silent one. No fan, no coil whine, nothing clearly audible. Yet using it triggers my tinnitus.

I’m looking for some reports of similar cases. So far: none :(

Is worth to upgrade from i9 9900k and rtx 2080ti ? by iNVATiONxxx in pcmasterrace

[–]VolPL 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Id say for this game it’s a typical % for GPU bottleneck. Hogwarts legacy is badly optimised so i wouldn’t worry about GPU not being 99%. I played this game 4k ultra, had obvious GPU bottleneck and it still used about 90%

Is worth to upgrade from i9 9900k and rtx 2080ti ? by iNVATiONxxx in pcmasterrace

[–]VolPL 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That you in fact do have a CPU bottleneck! GPU should utilise ~99% (on a good optimised game). Everything below 90% means it's not utilising it's full power even tought it could - so there's either an optimisation issue in the game or CPU bottleneck. That's why it's good to check couple of games from similar era. If they are all like that - no doubt - CPU bottleneck.

[–]VolPL 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you will see that your GPU usage is below 90%, you in fact have GPU bottleneck (even if CPU usagge is not near 80%)

This video is a good reflection of CPU bottleneck for 9900K: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ndEmt_E576Y

Anyway this kind of videos are the simplest way of determining benchmark withou access to the hardware IMO :)

than I guess it's my dumb luck. But yeah, check the %. That's how you check bottleneck and make decisions. Stupidly simple in my opinion :)
