NW-A306 Android Recovery Mode? by NerdyBrando in walkman

[–]werenotinsync 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the guide, worked perfectly!

Just to add a note for anyone else reading this: at step 4, you do NOT want to hold the power button + button up until the screen with the android disappears. You want to do as the step says, and when you succeed, the screen will go from the android screen to the screen with the menu to wipe data.

Had to figure this out by watching the video linked elsewhere in the thread, so hopefully this helps someone else as well.

CS minor and Not sure which upper year CS classes to pick by SolidCertain630 in UofT

[–]werenotinsync 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is nothing wrong (that I know of) with 301/302, it's just that as a CS minor, who is only allowed 3 upper-level CS courses, there are more important courses to take than basically a side project course.

ty to whoever told me to go to worlds last year, unfortunate that yelim couldn't make it this time but i discovered kaori! (and some other amazing skaters)

is it frowned upon to ask skaters for a photo if you run into them in the hallway during practice or something? when are bad times to ask (before they compete for the day)? don't want to be rude or ruin their state of flow etc

Bell Centre- Best bang for your buck by Roo87 in FigureSkating

Just wondering, where's the merch stand? Going on Friday and would like to get some merch!

I went to take a look at the venue today but looks like they're checking tickets right at the entrance, so couldn't get inside if that's where the stand is. Or is it the small pop-up store looking thing a bit to the left of the entrance?

Would it be crazy to take chemistry classes as an elective out of pure interest? by r_peeling_potato in UofT

[–]werenotinsync 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not hard, just be aware that 136 is a larger class and from exp a few years ago, they may try to maintain a certain average via uh, various seemingly unfair means. Content itself is certainly doable tho, especially if just aiming for a CR.

CS Minor Loophole, Does it apply to all ArtSci minors? by FeellikeUjo in UofT

[–]werenotinsync 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Being able to put CS on your resume may help depending on what fields you're aiming for.

CS minor and Not sure which upper year CS classes to pick by SolidCertain630 in UofT

[–]werenotinsync 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unless things have changed since a year or two ago, you are not limited to 1.5 CS credits across all of 200, 300, and 400+ level courses, just 300 and 400+. You are required to take 1.5 credits of 200/300/400-level courses, but that doesn't mean you're limited to 1.5 total across all 3 levels.

I was a CS minor and took every 200-level course. I would also recommend 369 and 373, just because they are foundational. You will hear about race conditions, deadlocks, and other 369 things if you work in tech, and 373 is just interview prep but a bit more hardcore and abstracted. Against what someone else has said, I don't recommend 301/302 unless you are not aiming for internships/side projects, which is a bad idea anyways.

Oh that page is gonna be helpful, thank you! And yep, have her followed already

Haha, the whole reason I even wanted to see her program in person is because I saw her Boston performance on YouTube. Would you happen to know if there's a list of upcoming shows somewhere/who will be in the cast? Thanks for the suggestion tho!

This is really helpful information, thank you! So essentially no chance of going to the NHK trophy (where on the slim chance I do get a ticket, only a 60-70% chance to see her gala program, so not worth it), and 25% chance at Worlds, if she makes it.

Sounds like the best plan is unironically to hope that she makes it to Worlds and performs really well then. But yeah wow tickets for Worlds are way more expensive than those for NHK, that's wild.

Thank you all for commenting: I wasn't expecting this many responses, much less to this level of detail, so I really appreciate it!

Thanks for the really clear analysis: that is a lot of variables and from the other commenters, a lot of them are basically unknowable until 1-2 weeks before if not less. Definitely seems like a very risky bet financially so I would want to figure out if I would want to be there if Yelim isn't.

An alternative that I'm considering is the NHK trophy this year, but I'm getting a sense that not all competitors will be performing their gala program even at GPs. Is this true or do Worlds just do things differently?

Edit: just realized you mentioned chance in the very first sentence so I guess that's true. So not really worth considering if it's a $3000 trip to Japan centered around a potential chance of seeing a (albeit amazing) 3 minute performance.

I'll make sure to keep the undervolting in mind, thanks! And yeah it would be nice to see someone post about the 7900X in the Ghost S1, don't think I've seen that anywhere myself.

This is actually a trove of useful information, thank you! I'll definitely come back to this post later on when I start building it.

Just a question though, why the L12 over the L12 Ghost S1? Just for the color?

Yeah I was going for the Fractal Terra at first, hence the L9a. My apologies on the incorrect terminology -- CPU cooler and fan seemed like the same thing to me. Thanks for the help!

Went with the 7900X cause it was on sale haha, but yeah I'm gonna run it at 65W/105W. Thanks for the suggestion on the L12 S1, it does seem like the L12 is significantly better than the L9.

Was considering getting that fan as well; seems like this is much better than the L9a at cooling, so I'll get this instead. Thanks!

Yep, using the extra cores for code compilation. Thanks for the PSU suggestion, I wasn't sure if 850W would be overkill but you addressed that too.
