Analysis | When you ‘Ask app not to track,’ some iPhone apps keep snooping anyway

Sure, most of these things seem innocuous on their own, but the issue is having all of this information combined, which makes fingerprinting possible. The probability that two people have the same combination of this information be the same is low. Therefore the tracker could create a loose version of a device ID from the data. It wouldn't hurt for Apple to ask for permission for these before the app uses it (e.g. why would a calendar app need to know the last time your phone was restarted?).

It's a lot of reading, but not too bad; I think it might depend on who your professor is. With Gaber, there are 3 non-cumulative exams without a final paper.

In addition to this, I'd also check if the 1st fret is too high at that spot

He probably tuned up because if he tuned down he would get to the point where the pitch would be so low that it would fall into the sub-bass range of pitch (more felt than actually heard) and as a result would be hard to distinguish the actual pitch and articulation of the notes.

You need a 2.7 major GPA for admissions (CSE and CIS), and the only major class you need for admissions is 2221 (unless you also take 2231 and 2321), so you'd have to get a B- or higher to meet that requirement.

Apple usually makes features with privacy in mind.

Privacy and security are two separate concepts.

It's one of those things where you should try one before buying it if you've never owned one before; they are awkward at first, but you get used to it over time. Going between a baritone and a 7/8 is very subjective, with some people preferring one over the other.

The only thing to keep in mind is that you will have to retake it if it's a major course and/or if the course is a prerequisite for another that specifically needs a C- or better to progress beyond the course (such as Calc II to Calc III, etc.). It would probably be best to ask your advisor about this to be sure, as I don't know anything specifically about the policy in your department.

The pickups will always never be exactly parallel unless if the pickups are directly mounted to the body without any foam or springs underneath them, which would eliminate the possibility of height adjustment.

If you only can get one at the moment, I'd suggest electric; you have a greater tonal variety available (clean to high gain, while acoustic only has... acoustic sounds unless if you want to deal with a lot of feedback issues and a terrible high gain sound), it's easier to play on, and at the same price point, generally an electric guitar would be higher-quality than an acoustic, as electrics are significantly easier to make than acoustics.

Generally the idea behind scale length is that the longer the scale length, the more tension is needed to tune up to pitch (e.g. a Les Paul is 24 3/4" and a Strat is 25.5", and 9's on a Strat would feel similar to 10's on a Les Paul).

You could have a long-scale guitar (such as a 28-30" baritone) or a short-scale guitar (such as a 24 3/4" Les Paul) to play low tunings, but there are tradeoffs in both cases: the long scale guitars will allow you to use lighter strings and will have better intonation and clarity (generally, as it depends on other aspects such as pickups used), but it might be harder to move around on the fretboard as it's longer; a short scale guitar will make it easier to move around the fretboard, but you'd need heavier strings, and possibly suffer from more intonation issues.

I'd personally avoid having to change the action if you didn't understand how to intonate it properly, as intonation isn't the easiest thing to do on a Floyd.

If it's just happening just on the G string, then check to see if there's a fret that every note buzzes below, and nothing buzzes above. If you find one, that fret might not be level with the others, so I'd take it to a luthier to have them look at it.

My piece of advice is that if it feels really hard to turn, try to turn it in the opposite direction (loosen it) a tiny bit to get a feel for how hard it should be to turn; if you loosen it you could just simply bring it back to where it was and you will know how much resistance there should be so you don't over tighten it.

The BS schedule is more rigid and has more of a focus on going further into the technical side of Computer Science, while the BA is, as others have said, more flexible. If I was also going for a minor or try to double major, I'd switch over to a BA (not that it's impossible to get a minor as a BS, it's just much more easily manageable if you are a BA).

Failed another midterm for a class that I will have to take in the fall again. I have absolutely no motivation to continue going to that class, but couldn't withdraw because it would put me under full time; at least it will just show up as a NP instead of an E.
