  1. I do agree with you on that part, but the fact that I pay this much just for teachers to have really bad attitudes towards me and my class is not at all a fun experience. Not to mention the fact that a lot of the teachers with shitty attitudes are in cahoots with the administration which means that if we were to complain about any of them, they would just find out and fail us. Even though a lot of people in my country are complaining about online classes, I actually kind of prefer them over physical classes solely because of the fact that I don't have to deal with asshole teachers in person. I really wish I could learn a lot of other stuff relating to my major, but I barely have the time to considering my study schedule is busy enough as it is. If you do have some advice or insight, I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you for sharing your uni experience.
  2. It's good that you have the option for a uni with a decent environment for your masters degree. Best of luck to you.
  3. I wouldn't let what the others and I are saying about university get you all worried about going to uni soon. Your uni experience might be better than ours.
  4. I'm glad things worked out for your high school. You must've had a decent experience.
  5. How does the 3300X having a single CCX layout give it similar multi-core performance? Could you please elaborate a bit on that?
  6. Right, thank you for the brief explanation and for the videos that you linked in the thread!
  7. Just plain ol' 1080p. Also, holy blazes! That is weird. I assumed the game was more CPU heavy due to it being open world. Is it weird the fact that an open-world game has better performance on a 4C8T than a 6C12T?
  8. So, seeing as how RDR2 is a very demanding game, I was wondering what would be the best way to optimize the game in terms of settings when one is running a 4C8T processor and a RX 5700XT?
  9. I had an experience similar to your experience with that choir teacher. In my second semester, we had these two teachers that were teaching this electronics course to different classes. This one class got the good teacher and as soon as he came in on the first day, he literally said "everyone taking my class has passed this course. Don't worry." while the teacher we got never said anything like that and very well-known for acting like an asshole and throwing tantrums. Funny thing is, a lot of the people in my place that have GPAs of 3.5 and above got the good teachers in the previous semesters while everyone with a GPA of 3.0 and below got the bad ones.
  10. Well, best of luck to you in pursuing your acting career. If you ever make it big, get me a free movie ticket, will ya?
  11. Something similar actually happened at m uni. A girl missed a few classes because her father had passed and the professor refused to let do the exam for that specific course because she wasn't meeting the attendance requirement. She went and complained to the director of the uni and was allowed by him to do the exam. Fast forward to the exam day, the professor throws a fucking tantrum because the director went against his "principles". Since he was refusing to listen to the director and was being blatantly arrogant, he was fired. My uni, for some reason, eventually brought him back, but this time, WITH A PAY RAISE.
  12. I'm glad that your experience wasn't toxic as mine is currently. Guess I have to make the most out of what I've got no other alternative. While I may be just some random stranger on the internet, you're gonna go places, friend. Keep up the good work!
  13. When I started uni, I assumed I was hanging around the right people. Basically, people who want to lift themselves up and lift you up. Later, I found out that my group was basically composed of people who wanted to lift themselves up and not others and people who had the "LMAO GONNA YOLO THIS" mentality. Out of the 10 people in my group. only two people had the mentality "lift themselves up and lift you up" mentality. Guess the first sub-group goes to show exactly how spiteful people become if they think you're understanding the material a lot better than them. I say this because these people would walk up to me and say "I only studied a night before the exam while you studied a whole week and I still got a better grade than you LMFAO WOW!". Apparently, getting a better grade than me was a big achievement for them.
  14. I really hate how peer pressure is a factor that messes with you when you're in. People would always ask me about my GPA and annoy me by saying "wow I expected more". In my head, I would always think "yeah, you have a better GPA than me. Just please leave me the fuck alone.". It's due to that that I decided to just cut everyone off. If I get a 3.5 GPA when I graduate, I'd be extremely happy. There are a ton of students who graduated from my uni this year with a GPA of 2.8. Guess you could say 2.8 is the average at my uni. Again, I apologize if I sound like I'm just complaining.
  15. Hey, at least your GPA didn't tank like mine. I was sitting at a 3.0 GPA for my first year, but the first semester of my second year caused my GPA to tank to a 2.7. Not that I wasn't trying, I was literally studying every weekend and was spending the rest of my time doing assignments. I'm still trying to get my GPA up to at least a 3.2 or more before I graduate, but feels like I've lost all motivation.
  16. Thanks for the advice! Already started my third year. Just one more year left to go.
  17. Congratulations on becoming successful. Guess what comes around is all around after all! Also, congrats on getting a picture with Ricky himself!
  18. The fact that someone with a PHD in Electrical Engineering can't teach a simple circuit analysis class worries me. While I do agree with the fact that colleges are meant to teach you the theory behind stuff, I just wish they did a better job. Thing with me is that I can't even squeeze in extracurricular activities into my schedule because of how crazy my schedule usually is. Worst of all, due to how bad some of the professors are at my uni, I have to literally go home and squeeze in time to teach myself the lessons I took that day. I know that's how uni is, but I just wish I had more time for internships, learning a new programming language, and learning what exactly cybersecurity is. I'd become a part-time student, but my uni doesn't even offer the option for that. I don't even have the option to switch unis. I apologize if I seem like I'm complaining. Just trying to give you guys an idea of what uni is like for me.
  19. So, I'm a uni student currently majoring in Computer Engineering(BE) and even though it's been four semesters, I feel like I've barely learned anything of use except for learning how to code in C++ and what exactly the RISC-V architecture is. Besides barely learning anything, my uni also gives me unnecessary stress with teachers acting as if they're doing us a favor by teaching us. What about you guys? What was your uni experience like?
  20. Well, alright. If you don't mind me asking, if one of the Tier A PSUs were to crap out on a rig, is there a high chance of them taking down a component with them or is that more of a thing with PSUs in Tier C and below?
  21. Hey, guys! I'm going to be buying a PSU sometime in the future and I'm kind of paranoid about getting a PSU that's part of a bad batch. Is there any way I can safeguard myself from purchasing a PSU that's part of a bad batch? Is there any forum site or thread that I can use for reference?
  22. Hello, everyone. Long time lurker here. How's your day been so far?
