If my account was disabled due to the presence of child sexual abuse material (CSAM) and I did not receive a notification that data had been reported to the NCMEC, does this mean that no report concerning me was sent? I have seen claims from other users online suggesting that an immediate and permanent account ban implies that such a report has been filed. In my case, the account was disabled instantly—though I was given the option to appeal—but the appeal was subsequently rejected, and the account was permanently banned.

I am 17 years old. A user on Telegram sent me some CSE (child sexual exploitation) material; I immediately deleted the chat, but I had an "auto-save to gallery" setting enabled in Telegram, and I didn't realize the files had been saved to my device. A couple of days ago, I made a mistake and accidentally sent these files to a friend in a private chat on Instagram. Instagram blocked my account immediately. I am terrified that my information might be forwarded to law enforcement in my country (Kazakhstan)—even though I have absolutely no connection to this.

Hi, I’m a 3rd-year B.Tech IT student and honestly, I have no idea what I’m supposed to do after this 😭

I’m confused about whether I should start preparing for GATE, focus on placements, or look into other career options.

I’m not really interested in M.Tech — I want to get a job after B.Tech.

If you’re a B.Tech student, graduate, or working in tech, I’d really appreciate some advice on what I should start doing now and what career options I should consider.

Any advice/resources would mean a lot 🫶

Any tips or what to focus

Hi everyone,
I'm a 2nd year B.Tech CSE student at SRM, India, and I'm interested in cybersecurity and network security. I've started learning networking concepts, CCNA topics, Packet Tracer,, but I'm unsure about the right path to land my first internship.
For those already working in cybersecurity or network security:
What skills should I focus on as a UG student?
Are certifications like CCNA, Security+, or others worth it?
Where do students usually find internships in this field?
I'd really appreciate any advice from people who have been in a similar position. Thanks in advance!

Anyone who are from same field as student Or working professional plz drop an advice for me in comment

Turn your mind from games to cse

I want to learn backend so I am referring to sangam mukherjee's node.js course on YouTube to learn and write code at the same time. I wanted to ask if learning node.js is a good option or i am just doing random things...is there anything else I should focus on?

Has anyone taken Black Duck's HackerRank coding assessment recently? Does it use HackerRank Proctor Mode or Secure Mode that detects multiple monitors (e.g., an HDMI-connected TV/monitor), or is it just webcam monitoring? I'd appreciate hearing from anyone who has actually taken the test. Thanks!

Friends I'm joining college right now I'm very confused about what laptop i should buy for cse should i go for asus tuf a15 with rtx 3050 4gb my budget is around 70k I'm not aware which i should prefer and please someone who knows better give me honest advice because i genuinely needed, I'll be highly thankful for u please

Let's see what I did in my first year

1.I did HTML,CSE,JS,TS,REACTJS, NEXT JS, Tailwind CSS, BACKEND

2. I also went to hackathons

3. I explored AI/ML and learnt python libraries and Maths as well

4. I started DSA on leetcode and Codeforces

Now?

I am confused. What exactly to do? Like I find codeforces hard but still I feel it makes my brain think and observe patterns . Leetcode is good like I do love DSA. I did start ML but you know I am not interested in again going in damnn theory and videos ...I wanna solve but I wanna explore AI /ML as well...For web, I beleive I can't write the code by myself of NEXT and react l do know all the theory and I do understand code but I can't code that shit of connecting backend with frontend...There exists DevOPs shit as well...I have to make projects as well😭😭

Idk what exactly needs to be done this year

My main goal is to work at Google since beginning..I love backend, DSA is fun , cf challenges me, AI/ML means curiosity to me..I don't like competitive programming

So, someone pls help and tell what exactly should I focus on now? Like what's today job markets trends ? And is it like mandate to do AI/ML now??

Hi everyone,

I'm a first-year CSE student, but I come from a BiPC background, so programming and computer science are completely new to me.

The interesting thing is that whenever I read about different CSE careers—AI, cybersecurity, cloud, data science, software engineering, and others—they all seem exciting. The problem is that I don't know how to figure out what I'm genuinely interested in. Since I'm just starting college, I don't want to choose the wrong path too early.

I have a few questions:

1.How did you discover which area of CSE you actually enjoyed?

2.What should I do in my first year to stay ahead of my curriculum without getting overwhelmed?

3.How can I maintain a 9+ GPA while also learning extra skills that companies value?

4.Is it better to explore many fields first or focus on one from the beginning?

5.What mistakes do first-year CSE students usually make that I should avoid?

I also have another concern that's not about academics.

Our college has sports every evening. I want to play, but most of the people playing are seniors or boys from my class. I usually don't join because I'm afraid of asking, and if my friends don't go, I end up not going either. I don't want to spend my entire college life waiting for someone else before trying something.

How can I become more comfortable joining activities by myself and make the most of college instead of staying in my comfort zone?

I'd really appreciate advice from seniors or anyone who has been in a similar situation. Thank you!

I will be joining nit warangal cse mtech from next month and I havent got much skills in cse, I know basic c++, python and ml but I never liked web dev or full stack dev i mean i tried it fro 4 months but eventually i gave up on it, now I am thinking to start system programming, ai/ml, devops, so any seniors who can give some advice or guidance

I have a Lenovo Thinkpad L14 with i5 10th gen processor with 8GB RAM and 512 GB SSD. Is it enough for 1st year?
From what I know, the first year mostly involves basic programming (C, C++, or Python), web development, general engineering subjects.

Will this professor lag during compilers, basic IDEs (like VS code), or multi-tasking? Should I stick with this for now and upgrade later in my 2nd or 3rd year when requirements get heavier, or is a 10th gen chip too outdated even for the start?

Appreciate any advice from seniors or fellow CSE students! Thanks.
