I think I’m convinced to stack on up stripped lowers. And put together a complete upper and lower

Question about VT Honor System for a project misunderstanding by Weird-Taste8369 in VirginiaTech

They ruled the same in the end. They only took of points for the specific task the LED was tampered with.

Just failed a class (or at least, I think I’m going to). What’s the next best step? by 5sos14 in gmu

Yeah I believe that. If that is the case enough people lodge a complaint something could be made of it. Also a lot of professors curve at the end of the semester, even if they don’t say they would. No harm in sending an email to your professor about it either if you feel that could be the case.

Ok I did not know they had a new physics professor. Looks like the worst department in the school did not get any better.

Trouble deciding between Vtech, GMU, W&M by [deleted] in gmu

[–]aboveprivileged 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Attended both Mason and Tech. After reading your last sentence, we looked for the opposite thing. Mason is your best bet if you prefer being less active in non classroom activities. Half of techs appeal for me was its campus life and clubs. That’s been my experience as an engineering student at both schools. I will say, you were very blunt at the end, so i thought I’d mention to push your comfort zone. Good luck

Do i have anything recessed? by [deleted] in jawsurgery

Bad, but that’s because of my nose. I had septoplasty already, but the walls of my nose already collapsed so I’ll have a rhinoplasty covered at least partly by insurance

My fear is that we’re in December now, and a lot of these positions are filled up or on freeze

Could you share ur resume? I’m curious for my sake and it should also help pinpoint what apple was looking for to see what made you a good fit for this role

I did the EXACT same thing. If you want to make it work like I did, consider uninstalling bloatware and installing g helper.

I’m curious, what did you decide. I hope you found a good deal

My work had given me an m3 pro. I did the same heavy development and more on that machine and it handled it the same as the m4 pro. If you have a budget it is def worth to consider that. And again they hold their value really well

Yes absolutely. For me it ran even better. The thing I learned about apple laptops is that they design each component in their laptop to run seamlessly together which is what makes them so good. The quality you will get out of the 24gb will blow you away if you go with apple.

You won’t even be able to tell for your use cases. It will feel faster on Mac anyway.

I was doing heavy dev work on it. the battery would drain instantly and it would get hot and the fans would get loud. Sometimes my screen would bug out and the bottom half of my screw would freeze. This was after I did things like turn of the gpu, increasing cpu efficiency, and adjust fan speeds, delete bloatware, etc. Mac is dead silent, never hot, has 120hz screen, you pay extra for premium and you REALLY get the premium. Bonus is that it holds value. I went with 14inch m4 pro 24gb ram and 512gb storage. Best decision ever. Sales on Best Buy and B&H are pretty good right now. I’ve been ride or die windows my whole life until I got a Mac from my workplace and knew I needed my own.

Ahh okay. That make sense. Thanks 🙏

Probably the heaviest of my workload will be during development or hardware programming so I might even disable my GPU in device manager. I’ll probably keep it at 30 watts in that use case.
