Hey all,

I'm creating this post in the hopes of getting advice from some of you.

I'm a freshman at a well-known state university in CA, majoring in Computer Engineering, aiming for a concentration in embedded. One of the things that's always on my mind is the possibility of being unable to find employment after graduation. So, I'm writing with the hope that some of you here could give me advice.

I also struggle a lot with imposter syndrome and feel that I'm constantly behind my peers, such as in coursework or coding knowledge. Does it ever get better? What can I do to get the most out of my time here? I'd like to maximize my chances of securing a nice, stable job for myself as close to graduation as possible.

I know that 4 years is a long time, and it's impossible to know what the market will be like then, but I hope your advice helps me build a solid foundation that supports me in the future.

Thank you.

Hey all,

I'm currently on my laptop and got curious as to whether or not I'm able to run some games on it. Foolishly, I looked up "can my laptop run ___" and it brought me to a website that automatically downloaded "DETECTION (0639V).exe." I deleted it, but restored it to scan it w/ Malwarebytes, and it showed up as "RiskWare." Didn't run it. Promptly quarantined and deleted it using Malwarebytes. Are there any other steps I should take? Did the restoration of the file have any adverse effects? The website it downloaded from is the first result on Google, systemrequirementslab[.]com.

Thank you!
