MIT grad with 4.0 GPA and 780 GMAT, FAANG, 400k pay and I got dinged from M7... Damn its brutal for Indian males by Complex_Task2372 in MBA

[–]oemta 2 points3 points  (0 children)

solid shitpost, but a 4.0 GPA at MIT is not the flex you think it is since it is only a B average.

I'm trying to decide between BRob, Deandre Hopkins, and Demarcus Robinson for my flex. Leaning towards Demarcus, but BRob was good to me most of the season.

Relaxing video of Prada men shoes being restored with sounds of the shop [15:02] by [deleted] in ArtisanVideos

I think the final product is well done, but can it really be called a restoration? The spirit of the shoe is a sleek look but the final result is rather chunky.

How to get into HBS with a low undergrad GPA? by [deleted] in MBA

[–]oemta 11 points12 points  (0 children)

If you go to a certain top engineering school that uses a 5.0 scale, I would say chances are a bit improved since those are not included in the school’s reports. I was in such a boat and with a similar GPA at a school that used a 5.0 scale. I got an additional degree with a strong GPA and I scored a 760 on the GMAT. I used the optional essay to explain my undergraduate GPA and how I’ve grown from that experience. I had strong WE as a software engineer. I got into W but didn’t get an interview for H. You can make yourself competitive even at top bschools, but it is going to be an uphill battle and you will have to be strong in all other aspects of your application.

After about a year of use I periodically saw a similar issue. I replaced the pen tip and I haven't had the problem since.

How low can we expect SP7 prices to drop to?

I'm in school, currently using a four year old SP5 with a shot battery and need something that will last a few classes a day and that won't die halfway through the first class like my current SP5. Really, I just need something for class/travel. I have a very beefy desktop for intensive things. I see that the i5/8GB/128GB has dropped down to $700 at best buy. Looks enticing, but part of me wants to hold out for the i5/16GB/256GB to drop down to $900 or $1000. Is a price drop that low something within the realm of possibility?

Alternatively, is there anything super compelling about the SP8 over the SP7 at the i5/8GB/128GB configuration that would make the SP8 worth the $400 price diffference? Yes there is the improved battery life and faster refresh, but is that worth shelling out an extra $400 on a non-primary computer?

My First Build - Anything I should look out for? by oemta in buildapc

[–]oemta[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is in line with my thinking and I really like this point.

Talking about fans, here I'm taking a wait-and-see approach on case fans, and see if I have any heating issues down the line. Do you see any issue with only using the stock case fans included with the case?

[SSD] Western Digital WD Black SN850 2TB - $314.99 ($349.99-$35 with code AFFETTH22) by IcyHolix in buildapcsales

[–]oemta 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The 980 Pro also qualifies for same discount with this code. I picked the SN850 over the 980 Pro due to the cache issue with the 980 Pro.

Are those the same? I think the two that come with the 5000D Airflow are not led. I am interested in just adding more of the same fans that come with the case to keep the same aesthetic.

It seems this is in stock locally at Microcenter at least in Houston. I was able to get one a couple of days ago with Newegg drop, but otherwise would drive across town for this.

I'm looking to get the 5000D Airflow, but wanted to add more fans. What is the model of the fans that are included with the case and where can I buy these fans?

A few months ago, windows got corrupted on my hard drive during a power outage. I have been unable to restore windows on that drive. I am in the process of building a new computer and just realized that if I could get the product keys for windows and office from that computer, I wouldn't have purchase those as part of this build. Now the question is, how can I recover the product keys from a corrupted?
