I had no clue where to place this but Tech. seems like a good place.

This is a Physics Forums but I know of plenty engineering majors that roam here. The question is, what's your engineering speciality?
 
Computer science news on Phys.org
I started with Aerospace and it was cool, but it kicked my ass so I switched to Mechanical.
 
Wow, I started off with Aerospace as well but realized that I liked more of the Physics and Mathematics part so I switched over to those majors.
 
And I'm in aerospace currently. My focus is in the space systems track.
 
right now, digital circuits verification so I voted electrical/computer

I was aero/aero. I wanted to design (and fly) fighter jets.

Mechanical isn't a bad alternative though. Lockheed has a plant near here where they are hiring ME's to build/test GPS satellites. Plus (obviously) there are a lot of mechanical parts in an airplane.
 
Thread 'Urgent: Physically repair - or bypass - power button on Asus laptop'
Asus Vivobook S14 flip. The power button is wrecked. Unable to turn it on AT ALL. We can get into how and why it got wrecked later, but suffice to say a kitchen knife was involved: These buttons do want to NOT come off, not like other lappies, where they can snap in and out. And they sure don't go back on. So, in the absence of a longer-term solution that might involve a replacement, is there any way I can activate the power button, like with a paperclip or wire or something? It looks...
I came across a video regarding the use of AI/ML to work through complex datasets to determine complicated protein structures. It is a promising and beneficial use of AI/ML.
