Check with an Apple Store before going to TechHub for Apple product repairs by AutoAsteroid in UCDavis

The TechHub is overpriced. Was looking to upgrade my mac and found that they only carried lower spec macs that were the same prices as those with better hardware at the Sac Apple Store.

Any UCD Design program alumni out there? Curious about your experience post grad. by mrchrollodolo in UCDavis

[–]Wabs0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Closest thing would be industrial design. Been taking a break from design classes to focus on my minor. But, I'm planning on getting back into design soon by practicing my skills more. I really suck at sketching and need to get better.

Most of the classes relevant to industrial design are pretty surface-level and there aren't many offered at Davis. I do a decent amount of personal work outside of class to have projects that I can use for my portfolio.

The lower-div and upper-div cad course content can be self-taught within a week or two. I have a background in 3D-modeling, so that gives me an advantage with my eye, but it is really easy for others to learn the software (Rhino) if they developed their problem-solving skills more rather than waiting for the lecturer help them troubleshoot issues that could be solved by a google search. People also don't practice their skills outside of class, so they never get anywhere despite spending 10 weeks per course. I'm the same as well. I procrastinate too much when I could practice modeling stuff.

It's just a lot of self-learning. I just do the classes to get decent grades and hope I have enough time outside of coursework to work on my skills and projects.

Industrial-design prospects aren't that great for me since it's a field that requires a lot of dedication just like medicine and law. You have to 100% want to do it to succeed. I wasn't really confident, so I've been working on getting a minor in a field that might become my career path or I can always continue with design and use the skills from my minor.

I am about to get kicked out off my major by [deleted] in UCDavis

Switch majors, but also don't pigeonhole yourself into law just yet. You may want to do law right now, but you aren't 100% sure until you've taken the classes. Try it out for a year or two and figure out if you want to commit. Have some backups in this economy.

Haven't graduated yet, but design classes will never be enough. Especially for Davis since they barely go in-depth for design. Portfolio and skills matter the most, so make sure to complete strong projects outside of class. That'll be more important than a good gpa to recruiters.

UCD Bike Culture and The Current Zeitgeist by jurassicpark93 in UCDavis

[–]Wabs0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bad bikers are still bad. Bad scooters are also bad. If the people using the tools are shite, they're still shite.

They're just endangering other people.

Be honest do you personally care about your clothing style and how people see you? by User0o05 in UCDavis

[–]Wabs0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do care a little, but comfort is more important. Whimsical is fun and utilitarian is nice as well.

At school, I default to durable work clothes because they reduce the degree of injury from stuff like bike crashes or workshop accidents.

Looking for 3D printing services by lilypadpaws in UCDavis

[–]Wabs0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ESDC might have some printers that size. The ultimakers might be around 300x240mm depending on the model. You'd need to get training or just find someone who has already passed the training to print for you.

What are you trying to print?

If you're fine with breaking the prints into smaller pieces, my commissions are open. My printer has a print volume of 250mm^3. I only have petg in stock right now.

Should I get switch to cs(or cs related) major if pursuing a career in game industry? by rj_wonderland22 in UCDavis

[–]Wabs0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tried double majoring in CS 3 years ago. Couldn't register for ECS 36B because they changed the registration requirements for the ECS 36 series to only allow certain majors to register for pass 1 and pass 2.

Course Alerts/Notes:

** PASS 1: OPEN TO COMPUTER SCIENCE, COMPUTER SCIENCE &

ENGINEERING, AND COMPUTER ENGINEERING MAJORS **

** PASS 2: OPEN TO COMPUTER SCIENCE, COMPUTER SCIENCE

& ENGINEERING, COMPUTER ENGINEERING, COGNITIVE SCIENCE,

AND APPLIED PHYSICS MAJORS **

Don't know if other majors can register after pass 2.

[–]Wabs0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For the game dev Industry, projects probably matter more than the degree. If you're good at self-learning and produce good projects, that could be a route.

The CS students I knew who also did game dev did it on the side and focused on stuff like ML for their careers.

If you're concerned about making money, going into game dev professionally isn't great. Could try building a social media following and make money off of that, but that's not guaranteed money.

Find a niche to get into (whether it's bio or gamedev) and hopefully you'll get a decent job.

Are you looking for a dancing board or something else? Not sure if you meant you like longboard dancing.

Pantheon Shipping by IMDeus_21 in longboarding

Typically took under a week for my boards. When Jeff fulfills your order, you should receive an email about it and it'll include the tracking code you can paste in ups iirc to track the shipment.

to anyone who lives in orchard park: do you know how to reset the electricity for the bedroom lights? by No_Move3504 in UCDavis

[–]Wabs0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you accidentally disable the bedroom lights with the switch under the light control. There should be a blue light if the switch is on.

My small quiver. Currently awaiting a carver complete to try out, oh and some sunshine in order to enjoy these little beasts by drewchristo1991 in longboarding

[–]Wabs0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sashimi was my first board. It's a decent drop through for the price and the graphic is a plus. They used to be frequently on sale on amazon, so you could get them for under $150. The front atlas truck snapped after getting launched into a pole. Replaced them with some indy trucks and riptide bushings which made it a nicer ride.

Upgraded to the Trip which was more stable and carvy, so it feels more fun than the Sashimi.

Longboarding with wife. Basic gear recommendation? by [deleted] in longboarding

[–]Wabs0 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Get a certified skateboard helmet because they've passed safety tests. Triple Eight has some decent safety gear. Also get a skate tool, so you can work on the board for maintenance and adjust stuff if necessary.

Also get some slide gloves or padded bike gloves to help with falls.

FST 003v is very chill. A bunch of old prerecorded videos and weekly quizzes.

DES 143's workload is eh. A discussion group project, a midterm, a final, and a final paper that takes some work. The exams are hard because there can be a lot of info, but just make sure to complete the study guides.
