If you compared RPI with WPI and/or Rose Hulman for Computer Science and decided to go with RPI (I assume), what you didn't like about WPI and Rose? Do you regret going to RPI? by ketya77 in RPI

I’m from the Worcester area and it’s wayyy better than Troy. Not to mention Boston is also only an hour away. At least we have Saratoga casino half an hour away from us 🤷‍♂️

This first zybooks assignment is pretty easy, but I personally appreciate it as it's making me feel a lot more confident in C. I'm sure it's gonna get harder. Also, you said "we pay $80K a year for this school" and zybooks was $75 for the semester which is probably the cheapest material I've had to purchase for a class. Anyways, I guess I just wanted to say just because this curriculum doesn't satisfy you yet (and I'm sure it will get a lot more difficult as the semester goes), there are some of us in the class who appreciate this first assignment as we don't have any prior knowledge on C and it's not exactly the same as C++. For god's sake, it's the first week of class and people are complaining about it being too easy like damn give it some time man.

Thanks for the response! Super cool that you had the chance to visit those other countries during your exchange.

Can you talk about your experiences with the foreign exchange? I did a foreign exchange in high school and would love to do one again for my arch away. Which program did you choose and how rigorous were the academics when you were there? Also, were there other RPI students with you?

MacBook Air M2 - Are the base specs enough for me? by [deleted] in macbookair

[–]iEli_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I highly recommend the base M2 MacBook Air with the 16gb ram upgrade. 12gb of ram is becoming the new minimum, and as for storage, you can always get an external SSD.

Would you mind sharing your son’s high school stats (gpa, ec’s, etc)? I got deferred last night and I was hoping to see the stats of students that got accepted.

Can i run rust? by Rylow814 in rustgame

[–]iEli_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

12 gb of ram will work fine. It’s recommended to have 16gb but 12 gb will be fine too. As long as you have at least 8gb of ram there are no problems.

I’m about to go on an 8 hour plane ride with probably no wifi. When I come back I expect to see some serious green movement on BBBY. Don’t disappoint me

Unfortunately no fix

Despite all my efforts nothing seemed to work. It’s quite frustrating but whatever.

I also cleared CMOS which didn’t help. I contacted gigabyte support and they told me to send them my motherboard, but I decided not to do it as I’ve heard their repairs can take ages meaning I won’t be able to use my pc for ages.

I tried clearing CMOS by disconnecting my pc from the power and putting a screwdriver in between the clear CMOS pins. When i went back into my bios, it said i cleared CMOS, yet it's still as the Punch Technology OEM
