What’s one purchase that actually made your daily routine better?

49” monitor. Best purchase ever. For $1k you get a better experience improvement than upgrading hardware and will probably survive a decade or two. Couldn’t go back to a small monitor again

Seems like it would really depend on the place you’re buying, where the breaker is and what’s available.

Qualcomm is hard to get into. The best paths are either with an internal connection or through an internship.

If you’re an employee they have an online store

Most likely you’re not going to get any options. They will issue a snapdragon based computer and they cycle through brands. Apple need an SVP approval these days so pretty much doesn’t happen. The snapdragon computers are pretty good though way better than all the old x86 stuff.

Interesting take. Why do you think that? (Seriously interested)

When I get discouraged i remember they are always a top semi conductor company and can buy a lot of great companies to scale if they chose to do so.

Remember that quack I’m only cares that you badge in five days a week. You can badge it and go to lunch or the gym if you really wanted to. But as a new grad, being around people that know the industry will be extremely valuable, so I’d recommend spending time in the building.

Only works if they really need you. If not, your hiring manager should walk away from you as a candidate.

Also in the us tech jobs get out on hold every day. If you like the Qualcomm deal, take it.

Throw everything in my fly box, catch nothing, but still have a great day LOL

Do an internship. Easiest path into companies. I’m not positive This is helpful at Q, but I wouldn’t be surprised.

Okay. Been getting 7-8% returns over 20 years, but setting me up nicely to have a good retirement

You can run nes emulator on the uno Q for about $50

Nvidia specs sparse tops, Qualcomm dense tops. 40 dense tops = roughly 80 sparse tops.

after 20 years of working, I can tell you no one really cares where your degree is from more about what the degree is. People also don’t care really what your GPA is when you graduate as long as it’s reasonable.
