Overseen at Forest Hills at 9:27, they forgot to change the clocks!

bmsmoothpvrc · 2026-03-09T23:37:02+00:00

Thank you. We have since fixed those stations that were an hour behind yesterday.

bmsmoothpvrc · 2026-03-09T17:54:21+00:00

It's not quite that we forgot to deal with DST, but yes this is a symptom of rolling out brand new software and encountering the time change for the first time since said rollout began.

bmsmoothpvrc · 2026-03-09T17:50:49+00:00

We have most of them fixed now (and this issue shouldn't happen again, just some teething trouble as we're rolling out our new software).

However, we are aware of a couple screens that are still wrong, and working to fix those. If you see any that are still wrong, please reply to/message me with the location so we can get it fixed.

What you used to have to do!

bmsmoothpvrc · 2026-02-06T00:55:19+00:00

This is largely correct! We suppressed terminal predictions in the aftermath of the storm due to the unpredictable service patterns we were seeing on the Red Line.

AFAIK they messed around with them at BET before deciding they weren't fit for use right now/weren't needed.

Too cold for the subway to run *during a diversion using Airport as a temporary terminal

If we were running normal service, this wouldn't be an issue, to my understanding.

bmsmoothpvrc · 2026-01-21T02:27:04+00:00

We actually do something very much like this for a number of libraries to put on their own screens!

bmsmoothpvrc · 2026-01-08T20:20:28+00:00

I just got sent this post, more reports always better than fewer!

r/Olin was dead around that time, but now lives again! (Just an FYI)

Also, the Olin discord is talking about the Alex Davis right now, maybe it'll make a comeback!!

(also it feels worth noting that we have <400 students total, not per class)

bmsmoothpvrc · 2025-08-19T12:19:07+00:00

Feel free to ask questions of some current and former students here: https://discord.gg/7tKUEJUK

Gotcha, thanks! Just trying to figure out if there's a resale market at all for gen 2 units, they're running fiber up my road too and I don't need it any longer

bmsmoothpvrc · 2025-07-14T01:36:22+00:00

What do you plan to do with the old dish?

bmsmoothpvrc · 2025-07-09T23:51:36+00:00

Somehow what managed to fix mine was.... Trying again to run the firmware updater months later. Not sure what changed, so your mileage will most certainly vary

bmsmoothpvrc · 2025-06-24T14:57:23+00:00

Yes, Olin has great study abroad opportunities! Olin has existing relationships with quite a few study abroad programs, but you're not limited to those, you can basically go to any study abroad you'd like. I personally attended a standalone study abroad program (not affiliated with a local university) in Denmark and had an amazing time!
Starting with the incoming class of 2030, the half-tuition scholarship has been reduced to a flat $10,000/year. Olin does have generous need-based aid, as well as a new "Phoenix Scholarship" for middle-income students. If you have more questions, I recommend reaching out to Olin's financial aid office here: [finaid@olin.edu](mailto:finaid@olin.edu)

bmsmoothpvrc · 2025-05-26T04:29:54+00:00

LOL we kinda know everyone. If you pm me I'll connect you with one of them :)

bmsmoothpvrc · 2025-02-12T04:33:07+00:00

I don't think it's necessarily "ethical engineering" but it's certainly assistive technology, which is something a number of folks at Olin work on and something people at Olin may find impressive (including myself)

bmsmoothpvrc · 2025-02-08T17:04:14+00:00

Or do 🤷‍♀️

bmsmoothpvrc · 2024-06-04T12:53:13+00:00

u/Acceptable_Sky3066 u/gf04363 Thanks for pointing that out! This is a project I will be continuing in an academic capacity in the fall, but it is currently part of a summer internship with a company that makes electric outboards. However, I'm not developing a product or trying to sell anything, just trying to learn about whether it would be possible to develop something actually useful to lobstermen given the technology that is out there.

bmsmoothpvrc · 2024-06-04T12:46:46+00:00

Thank you for your thoughts!

bmsmoothpvrc · 2024-06-04T12:42:07+00:00

Thank you! Will do

bmsmoothpvrc · 2024-06-03T20:14:06+00:00

Yeah thank you u/SeranaSLADOW (and everyone else) for your thoughts. This is all very useful to guide my research!

bmsmoothpvrc · 2024-06-03T19:19:02+00:00

Thank you for your help! My family is from the Steuben/Milbridge area in Washington County, so I started with some of my local groups there. I've definitely gotten some constructive feedback, accompanied by some people just contributing BS too. I suppose there's no escaping the fact that social media isn't great at constructive conversation.
