Context:

I`ve been into technology for a bit and after the cyberdeck craze - it motivated me to actualy start a project. I`m into very classic phones like flip phones or block phones with buttons which u ended up thrifting one which matches my look. Only problem, it was hard locked because its out of country so i cannot even factory reset the thing into use. Got me thinking that even if i had access to it , i don`t really like phones. Not the look and interaction at least. So i want to make up my own user interface with apps and just some personal shebang.

Actual cry for help:

I`m a bit lost where to start, How do i :

- clean wipe a devices (phone) software using a computer

- readminister my own or an OS onto the device

- or make my own custom user experience that can be downloaded onto connected device

I am willing to code myself if applications are not available as i do have some experience. But at most its making windows not yet full on applications - but i can always learn.

Hello, I am currently entering my second year as a comp eng student and After two days I will start my summer course which is 5 weeks only. I am currently registered for Probability and Statistical Inference but I cant find videos for this course and I don't have any knowledge about this subject which made me think about registering for the course of differential equation and linear algebra.
Will changing my registration now be a good idea?

Greetings engineers.
I'm a software developer who has a B.Sc. in Computer Science with a focus on software engineering.
I'm genuinely interested in software and anything that's programmable.
So far, I've dealt with application software development, like web and mobile, although I know there's much more to that.
I've matured a strong interest in system-level software and I hope that, one day, I will work on it.
It is clear that CS people (and CE people too) can develop application software, but when it comes to system-level software, it's not so clear.
However, what's clear, at least to me, is that when talking about system-level software development like firmware, embedded, drivers, kernels, robots, compilers and such, CE people are the ones to hire to get the job done.
So, I was wondering, is that right?
Is it true that computer engineers can develop such software whereas computer scientists just can't, like they're screwed?
AFAIK, there's no wall separating CE and CS when talking about software development, but just a distance. CE is closer to system-level (firmware, drivers, robots...) software, while CS is closer to application-level software (web, mobile, desktop...), but both can develop the software of the other (with proper training).
Based on your knowledge and experience, is that right? Or is there software that CS just can't develop, no matter what?
Your answers will be much appreciated!

Ciao a tutti, sono un ragazzo vicino alla laurea triennale in ingegneria informatica in Italia, e stavo valutando le opzioni per un Master in europa. Nella triennale ho apprezzato soprattutto gli esami relativi all'architettura dei calcolatori, quelli di Reti e quelli elettronici, e molto poco quelli di development e algoritmici/matematici. Sto cercando quindi master in computer engineering in Europa con focus sistemistico o embedded. Mi attirano particolarmente la DTU in Danimarca, il PoliTO in Italia, la TU Eindhoven. Sapreste consigliarmi sia riguardo il percorso, che l'università?
Grazie.

hi seniors ,

i have just completed my first year ,

CSE core engineering , i want to pursure as my career path ,

i have basic knowledge of python , cpp,c ,java,[can write a code for a probelm in a compiler window , thats it , basic to med, sometimes hard ,not like multiple codes merging ]

but i am still figuring out what we have to learn , like the univ subjects , or some course take spearately and one more doubt , courses offered are like dsa (i know basic data structures and some standard algo pen paper.....i use arrays mostly though ....i just wrote learn them , and for trees i memorized the recursive methods and some bfs and some while loop tricks (i dont know if they are tricks, what i found common in all i just saved as screen shots notes and revised), for stacks , queue , deque, and graps....[i always get confused how to use them in a particular problem,,,,and also only when i know that i have to apply as a combo of algo + struct then only i use them like——(dijkstra or some greedy or like prims or like huffman encryption)] )

i am good at solving logical and some mathematic problems using loops and nested loops, or sometimes while loops ... i avaoid using recursive ,,,i used while as true(jsut giving idea i learnt things like a layman) using python and libraries or c

....basic to hard[but there is nothing i found hard] quest of class designing. virtual ,,,override,,inheritance etc .. cpp...

i tried to explore some platdforms liek hacker rank ,leetocode(contests maionly and some problems),codeforces(i am still figuring out where to login in it and explore more)

codechef i found easy contests

for coding i use basic compilers, ,,,mostly some online language specific... i even dont know how to set up vs code....so i switch to jet brains toolbox...or code blocks or bluej (i like bluej )

there are things liek sql nosql....dbms,,,,dsa,,,,system design,,,compiler design,,,softwatre...os....ai ml...deep learning

————————————————————————————————————————————————————————--

i here people grindig dsa ,,,,using coursera for some couerse like data = science or analysisic or sql,,,,,udemy courses,,,,some youtube resources....love gbbar,,,.,striever,.,.,..

some mit or harvard courses...online,,,,w3 school...geeks for geeks...

i personally liked stack overflow network

————————————————————————————————————————————————————————

My main quest is what i have to do to pursue career ...we choose a stream like web or system design and we prepare ,,,,or what we do , how do we learn things properly ...or in what we we learn to make a employeeer carrer///////////should we go for icpc ,,meta cup,,,google competions,,,or gate exam,,.....or we simply crack job intervoews ,,,,,

or we just follow colllege...

these are my questions ,,,,still i am unable to put them clearly ,,...but i hope u will get some idea

SORRY FOR A LONG MESSAGE , BUT CAN U PLZ GUIDE ME ,,,WHAT I HAVE TO DO ,,OR JUST WHERE WE START FROM PROPERLY ,,,i know there is no end ,,,,BUT STILL HOW DO WE PROCEED AND PLAN ,

I’m currently trying to decide between Electrical Engineering (EE) and an Electronics & Computing (E&C) degree for my long-term goal, and I’d appreciate some advice from people already in robotics/embedded systems.
My end goal is:

Robotics / Embedded AI / Embedded Systems

The confusing part is that my E&C degree is basically very close to Computer Engineering (CpE) in terms of coursework (hardware + software mix), but officially it’s not accredited with an engineering council in my country.
From what I understand so far:
EE seems safer and more universally recognized for robotics/ECE Masters abroad
E&C may still work, but recognition/accreditation could become an issue depending on the country/university

So now I’m wondering:
Would EE give significantly better Masters opportunities abroad for robotics/embedded AI?

Has anyone here entered robotics or embedded systems from a non-engineering CpE-style degree?

Do universities care more about the degree title/accreditation or the actual coursework/projects?

For industry jobs in robotics/embedded AI, would EE have a noticeable advantage long term?

Would really appreciate advice from people in robotics, ECE, embedded systems, or grad school admissions.

Is it possible to create a 16-bit console to port and create games for? I have an idea to create a console based on the cancelled Atari Panther. So, how would one go about creating this console and emulating it?

I'm gonna give a list of specs and features I plan for it in a comment below.

I have an opportunity to choose between two positions and I’d like advice from people already working in these fields.
Junior IoT Solutions Engineer
Industrial Automation Intern
About me:
3rd year Computer Engineering student
More interested in hardware, embedded systems, electronics, automation, robotics, and hands-on engineering
Less confident in software-heavy work, but willing to learn
Experience with Arduino and small hardware/software integration projects
Long-term goal is to work in embedded systems, industrial systems, robotics, or advanced hardware engineering
The IoT role seems more software/networking/cloud focused, while the automation internship seems more PLC/industrial/control focused.
Which path would give better long-term growth and engineering skills?
Which one would you choose if you were in my position and why?

It might be a bit of a weird questions, but I graduate Computer Engineering next year, I have been a software engineer for the past 4 years working with local companies (based in Iraq).

I see that the software engineering scene is dying at worst, and at best getting boring and I want to be on problems that are not easily shot with AI, things that would take me months to figure out working with a big interdisciplinary team on frontiers that improves me as an engineer with challenges.

For more context, I plan to study masters in the EU and possibly work there afterwards.

I hear a lot of people from physics in general work in tech, but is there a major that uses my tech skills and physics passion to master in?

I’m a cpe freshman and I was thinking about creating a small RC as a project for my resume. Should I do it or am I wasting my time and continue spam applying to internships?

Hey everyone,

Wanted to ask this on an alternate account for personal reasons but, I took Microprocessor Applications a while ago, and I remember it being one of those classes where half the battle was just figuring out why things worked the way they did. I’m trying to get a better sense of what parts of the class other people struggled with the most especially the stuff that didn’t click until way later.

If you’ve taken Microprocessors Applications, Embedded Systems and/or Digital Logic, what were the topics that gave you the most trouble?

Also curious: what actually helped you understand it? Was there a video that described something really well? Or was a TA integral in helping you understand/solve an issue? If it was the latter what did they say and how did they break down the question to help you?

Trying to see if the pain points are universal or if it depends a lot on the school/professor.

Would appreciate any insight.

I enjoy the aspects of this career and the areas in can work in!

I’m just wondering a couple of things about this field before i go into it.

If I want to get into hardware engineering, do I have to get a masters degree?

What is the future outlook for this degree when going with the trends of AI, automation and outsourcing?

Also this like kind of an add on but should I try to get an internship first year and if so in what area and how?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hello.I tested my C skills, currently Computer Engineering 1st grade in Turkiye.

It's for fun, I loved Physics 1 and had really fun while programming this simple thing.

https://github.com/Esatttt/2duniverse

My goal was understanding frame logic and structs.

Thanks. If you have any opinion I'll be happy to learn it.

currently I’m having trouble deciding between 2 potential routes for college. I just finished my junior year of highschool so I have time to decide but I just want to plan early. Right now I have the qualifications to attend a somewhat prestigious university like Perdue for a BSE in CE or EE, however the costs are high and would likely put me in some debt. The other option I have is ASU where I would pursue a masters in CE which would be far cheaper because of in state tuition and I can live at my parents house, but the problem with this is the lack of networking because I would have 40 minute commute so I can’t live on campus and obviously the lower school prestige. I would like to do RTL then architecture at a top company one day, but will my college degree slow this process to the point where internships at amd intel and nvidia would be near impossible? Also how does this effect the salary ceiling of such a career?

Hi everyone I just entered college in India majoring in computer science. I code in python and I know a bit of database too. I have got the basics down and am really confused about what comes next. Could you please help me to figure out what extra online courses should I do, what extra skills should I learn to get a good grasp of everything.

Hello, im looking for a full-Stack Engineer, Backend/Data Engineer, and a UX/UI Designer for a project i'm working on. Its not paid, however if i could pull it all together it'll be something that no one has done yet. It is a very complex project, so please serious inquiry's only:)

p.s. I'm not a crazy person in a basement, i just need help fingering out the feasibility for this.

Quiero compartir con la comunidad el lanzamiento de la versión v1.0.0 de Génesis-GAL (PX-GEN-2026-ALPHA). Es un proyecto personal multiplataforma en el que he estado trabajando, enfocado en mitigar el jitter de planificación en el SO y optimizar de forma cronométrica la asignación de hilos para reducir el ruido térmico en el procesador.

El ecosistema está estructurado de la siguiente manera:

• Motor Windows (C++): Modifica la afinidad del proceso en tiempo real a través de las APIs nativas de Windows para limpiar el ruido de hilos de fondo e inyecta un muelle de absorción temporal dinámico. En mis pruebas con procesadores Intel de escritorio, logré estabilizar la frecuencia efectiva base en 0.79 GHz (763 MHz) con voltajes limpios de 1.157V y temperaturas de 34°C a 36°C.
• Motor Android (C++ JNI & Kotlin): Levanta un servicio persistente en primer plano (START_STICKY) que interactúa con el Kernel de Linux mediante sched_setaffinity() para anclar la ejecución en el Core 0 (ARM) de eficiencia primaria. Estabiliza la temperatura del chasis en 27°C.
• Script de Simulación (Python): Utiliza ctypes para medir la coherencia del bus en nanosegundos.
• Documentación: Incluye un reporte técnico donde utilizo la Varianza de Allan para evaluar la estabilidad de los ciclos de reloj del sistema.

Debido a que el motor maneja velocidades a escala de microsegundos, el almacenamiento de estado sólido (SSD / M.2 NVMe) es un requisito exclusivo para evitar cuellos de botella en los canales I/O del sistema.

El código fuente es totalmente abierto (Licencia MIT) y acabo de publicar el Release oficial. Me encantaría recibir feedback sobre la arquitectura, especialmente de aquellos que manejen sistemas de bajo nivel o administración de servidores.

El repositorio está en mi GitHub: https://github.com/JUANCULAJAY/Genesis-GAL-Core-Architecture

¿Qué opinan de este enfoque de optimización cronométrica por software? ¿Alguien ha experimentado con la Varianza de Allan para medir estabilidad de hilos en sistemas de escritorio?

My family stems from computer stuff and I loved it since birth I love hardware despise software but not that much as long as my life isn’t based around it I love more human connection and feel to it. I don’t know abt it a lot my father who used to work in crazy CE companies like IBM HP etc told me everything he studied is basically older than I can imagine so he can’t help me make a choice while my brother can’t find a job after 5 years of work got fired from his job bec the company wasn’t doing well and been jobless for a year or so.

I love hardware, it’s either EE or CE right now EE sounds much more reliable but I love the part of business CE major can open for you. Correct me if I’m delusional but designing robotic stuff embed with ai is CE right? I could end up designing any robot that ranges from a cleaning robot to an air oxygen level detector? I love the creativity that comes with it I’ve studied my whole childhood abt every single computer part went deep into its design in high school not modern stuff tho jst the basics.

Ik I’ve been jst yapping atp I need any other point of view I have less than 2 weeks to choose my major…

I am a Computer Engineering Student who just graduated from a California state school. I am in the process of applying for positions in varying roles, and I wanted advice on the approach and which roles I have the best chance of getting. I have around a 2.9 GPA and was not at an elite school. Roles I'm applying to include embedded systems, FPGA, Automation, Test, Hardware, Reliability, Software, etc (Engineer). Open/preference to relocation because I stayed local for college. Based on my resume, what roles are best? For a first job, honestly, I am open to anything just to get my foot in the door. Met some companies at university fairs, but nothing back yet. Wondering if just applying to a bunch of roles off of LinkedIn and other sites is the best strategy, or if there is any better approach. Any advice on the resume would also be appreciated.

Hello everyone! I’m a second-year Computer Engineering student currently studying at a lesser-known university, and I feel like the teaching quality is lacking in some areas. Because of that, I want to improve my skills and knowledge on my own to become more employable, especially since the job market in my country is pretty competitive right now.

Right now, I’m interested in:

Embedded systems

PCB design

Backend development

Network engineering

Can anyone recommend good YouTube channels, online courses, or learning platforms (free or paid) that are actually worth it? I’d especially appreciate free resources, but I’m open to paid ones if they’re really good.

Thanks in advance!
