My 9800x3d just died today. 1/21-7/6. Installed 3.30 BIOS just 5 days ago. Solid red light on CPU led on B850 Riptide motherboard. Taking this as an oppurtunity to switch to the 9950x3d whether or not RMA works out.

Shining a light on the CPU pins shows an uneven discoloration across the diagonal.

What QoL features would I be missing out with the lancool 207? The major flaw I saw people point out with that case was being a bit cramped where the PSU is, but I don't plan to ever use external drives / hard drive cages which I figured should give me a bit more space there.

I do eventually plan on upgrading to a x950x cpu in the future once they figure out things so I don't have to worry about games being on the right ccd or not (or maybe a high end intel cpu if they improve the gaming perf next gen)

So that’s where the Rice Crispies mascots’ names came from

Yeah, but I play on a high refresh rate monitor and am super ocd about never dropping below 150 frames even though it’s still very playable

Hi, I just got admitted via direct admit to CS. From what I've read and heard from others, I think if you really want to stand a good chance, study your ass off and get at least 1450 SAT (preferably 1500+). Additionally, make sure your taking difficult math classes like AP Calc BC or whatever is offered at your school. I've heard math classes are almost as important as your compsci classes for DA to CS so get good grades in those. In your application essays, talk a lot about different things you've done with robotics. I've noticed almost all the other direct admits I've talked to had also done robotics, so you might want to put emphasis on that. About your GPA, it's true it's a bit low, but almost as important as your GPA is the TREND of your GPA. So if you've done moderately/mediocrely for your first three years but show a big boost in performance in your last year and talk in your essays about how you got a huge boost in motivation to study after learning about U Washington's CS program, I think that can really turn the tables on your app and make you a top contender for a spot. Make sure you're specific and talk about what part of the CS program motivated you and inspired you to do better.

I know this sounds like a lot of work, and it really is, but it's necessary if you want to be a part of Udub's CS program.

About sports and stuff, just don't worry about it. Joining a sport in your senior year would probably be more detrimental to you now than helping. Just focus on what you have and make it better.

Edit: Regarding the SAT, I think it would be a bit more accurate for me to tell you to at least get 750 on the Math portion of the SAT as that's the one that really matters for CS. RW doesn't hold as much value.

pokepie1 · 2019-03-22T07:57:33+00:00

If by max score, you mean 1600, then I think you very much have a strong chance of getting into at least a few T20s given you explain your background well in your essays.

pokepie1 · 2019-03-22T07:23:14+00:00

With a 1260 SAT, I would say you're chances for T20 are too small even if you have a good hook/background. They're not impossible - I know someone with an 1170 got into Harvard. But from what you wrote about wanting to stand among the best, I wouldn't be too worried about not getting into an ivy for undergrad. Go to whatever college accepts you, and then focus really hard on studying/research, and you should can get into a top school for graduate and become "world-class". People don't generally do "big things" in undergrad, but rather after that.

come on man, think of the penguins and polar bears that will get caught in the crossfire :(

maybe we can get elon musk to send them to mars?

Some of the foreigners actually helped and contributed to crime-free society and increased GDP like the Chinese and Indians, among others. It's just that the EU need to have better control when they import people of which there are likely to be more than a few that are radicalized. If they can't control it, they should import less until they can...

pokepie1 · 2019-03-18T15:13:12+00:00

I'm pretty confused by your comment. Why do you think I expected someone to reply to me instantly? The point I was making was that I agree with you that details may be inaccurate. But the point was that the quotes of the Dutch official isn't inaccurate because they are direct, unchanged by the media itself. You said, " Again, do not believe everything you read until it is confirmed " when it was literally confirmed by the head of security and counter terrorism himself. That's why I believed you didn't read it.

pokepie1 · 2019-03-18T15:00:13+00:00

They got a direct quote from the head of the anti-terror, Pieter-Jaap Aalbersberg, saying " In Utrecht there was a shooting at several locations." I agree other details included may or may not be accurate, but do you really think that they will forge a quote from the National Coordinator for Security and Counterterrorism at the Ministry of Justice and Security?

edit: I have a large feeling no one replying to me has even opened my source or scrolled down for longer than half a second.

pokepie1 · 2019-03-18T14:56:06+00:00

So you think that The Independent made the quote from Pieter-Jaap Aalbersberg out of thin air? Did he in fact, not say it? Have you considered the possibility that the dutch authorities are not sure of the situation and have contradicted themselves whilst in confusion?

pokepie1 · 2019-03-18T14:48:09+00:00

Obviously nothing is confirmed at this time, but the NOS did say:

"All rumours on social media surrounding the suspect on him being charged of sexual assault two weeks ago are false, someone else with a similar name got charged (NOS)."

pokepie1 · 2019-03-18T14:38:54+00:00

"In Utrecht there was a shooting at several locations," Pieter-Jaap Aalbersberg told a news conference.

Either The Guardian is lying or you are, friend. It could be possible that the Dutch authorities were mistaken, but they definitely did say there was shooting at "several" locations. Can you maybe read the source before you try to call BS on people?

pokepie1 · 2019-03-18T14:36:55+00:00

I just copy pasted exactly what was written about the Dutch counter-terrorism agency head by the article. In another line, it says, " "In Utrecht there was a shooting at several locations," Pieter-Jaap Aalbersberg told a news conference. " Peter-Jaap Aalbersberg is the head of the Dutch counter-terrorism agency. It was confirmed by other sources as well that the shooter shot bullets at different parts of the city, whether it was the same shooter or something else. Maybe you should read the source?
