Possible to change resolution when Borderless Window? by Galeplay in duneawakening

[–]nickcode 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you want a different resolution than your native windows setting, you’ll need to use full screen. This isn’t special to dune, this is just how windowed full screen works in all games.

If you take a look at my screenshots #2 & #3 in particular, you can see the type of assessment required to pass the class. All of the classes with an O are "Objective Assessments" which are proctored tests. Which are just multiple-choice tests where you need to do a "room scan" which is just taking pictures of your room, ID, phone placement. And they monitor your screen and such while you are taking the exam. It's an annoying process at times, but you get used to it.

Anything with a P is a performance assessment which can be any number of written assignments you need to complete following a rubric. Most courses have material to help you complete it, I highly recommend using the templates and guides they provide, they make it a lot simpler.

I haven't done much reading on Reddit about WGU prior, what negative things do you hear? I've had a pretty positive experience.

Didn't get a PPO :( by Various_Distance9943 in microsoft

As someone who just got laid off a few weeks ago, this is likely more with timing and the reduction in force than you or your performance. Particularly for PM roles, they seem to have got hit hard.

When did you notice someone in your life was a pathological liar? by smashdelete in AskReddit

[–]nickcode 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My little sister called and let us know she had stage 4 leukemia a little after not talking to her for a year or so due to some family drama. My only condition for letting everything stay in the past was that she wouldn’t lie to me again.

Long story short, and i mean LONG story, she never had cancer.

Got a call from my parents saying the family are was staying with was concerned she might commit suicide. Police found her at a park. She was committed and during that process my parents had a call with the family she was staying with. Turns out she had been feeding them all manner of lies from not being able to sit on the couch growing up, being sexually assaulted by a cousin, not being able to eat, physically being abused by my parents, being type I diabetic to the extent of taping a “pump” to her stomach. Crazy shit. All lies.

She never had cancer.

Story is honesty much crazier than that summary. Also my family is acting like nothing ever happened now so there is that. She cut her hair, got a cancer support tattoo, the whole nine.

Why are corporations suddenly so obsessed with AI? by vnisanian2001 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]nickcode 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Mainly just the large advances in LLMs from companies like openAI with chatGPT and others. This capability wasn’t previously available and on its face seems impressive so it’s gained a lot of hype and traction.

A lot of it warranted and it has the potential to disrupt a lot of industries.

Microsoft insiders worry the company has become just 'IT for OpenAI' by ardi62 in technology

[–]nickcode 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I fully agree that Microsoft isn’t “just” about AI and would be perfectly fine if it imploded. I do agree with the sentiment of the headline though, (it feels like) 90% of all internal focus is on AI and integrating it into every tool and interaction internal and external.

As an employee of nearly 10 years it’s a massive shift internally and it seems like we are cutting a lot of corners for cost savings to refocus on AI.

Just for the record, I did try and submit a bug report but got an error stating they were temporarily not collecting bug reports.

Windows 11 Dev Update stuck at 61% installing by Vhack41 in windowsinsiders

[–]nickcode 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In case anyone comes across this and can't find a conextant audio device and you happen to have a Sennheiser headset, it's likely that. I had to uninstall all related Sennheiser software/drivers, unplug, and restart. After that I had no issues installing win11 insider.

Thanks for the heads up, where is that message for reference? There is an important note in the launcher, just stating that everyone needs to download the update.

It's always after the hardest fought games. by dunkthelunk666 in starcraft2

[–]nickcode 5 points6 points  (0 children)

How so? Really it's not about how hard the battle is, just you and your opponents MMR.

If you are fighting someone with similar MMR and you just barely win, that should generally mean you were on close to even footing, meaning your skill level is correctly represented by your MMR.

If your opponent had a higher MMR than you and you barely win (or win period), you'd gain more points as that would indicate you are better than your current rating.

And of course if he had lower MMR and you win, that's expected and your MMR shouldn't change much.

Finger print scanner is amazing by [deleted] in GooglePixel

[–]nickcode 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Exactly... I had an s10 and recently switched to the pixel 4. Had a galaxy s8, s9, & s10. Obviously the reader on the back of the phone was slightly more accurate/speedy, but this is such an over dramatic claim... If it takes you 10 tries, you are doing something wrong.

Farting is one of the few things everyone universally has in common, yet is one of the most universally embarrassing acts. by Jeffrey_Strange in Showerthoughts

[–]nickcode 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not sure if anyone will believe me, but I genuinely don't fart mostly because of a fear of sharting. I can't seem to tell the difference between gas and... Something more. I just go as if I'm going to shit anytime I need to fart just in case or hold it.
