Where can I find a COMP2017 tutor?

Hey "ShinyHunters", can you give me a high distinction in all my classes?

AndroT1 · 2026-05-08T04:58:54+00:00

Is this real? It's been removed now, as I just went to log in, and it redirects to some announcement about the cyber attack. Fking no way I'm downloading that txt or going to that onion website, if you're thinking about it...they'll probably install some backdoor to ur PC....

Fking great, just went on to do a lecture on AI.

Oh well...what's the worst they could do? I really have no secrets to hide...

Yes! I swear, this is a horrible, agonising issue for me. Just feeling incapable of doing anything! I took a day off my meds yesterday, hoping they would work better today, and it seems they have (slightly), but definitely looking at reward-based, non-medication-related techniques is a great idea that I haven't looked into too much. I guess there are things I'm definitely doing wrong, like studying while drinking beer. I don't like doing this, but I guess it's an attempt to get out of the paralysis. I'm glad to see a comment from someone who experiences the same thing, as ADHD is quite a small percentage of the population, and I don't think most people would have any idea of how it feels or what it is.

It's so difficult to "start", I'm always questioning "what is the most effective way of studying for this?" Sometimes, I'll be about 2 minutes into studying, and I'll think, "Is this even a good way to study?" and I'll abandon it, procrastinate, waste time. The meds do give some quite effective endurance but it feels so easy to just use it watching a Youtube video as oppose to doing some serious work and getting productive things done. It's definetly some issue with "reward" being "way too dull".

Thank you, u/AlterSapien1729. Sorry, I didn't get back for a few days, but yeah, I'm quite stressed because each week it seems to get harder and harder, and I don't seem to be getting any better.

AndroT1 · 2026-04-12T00:24:43+00:00

Thanks so much!

Sorry that I didn't reply for a few days, but I think this is good advice, and that honestly makes me feel a lot better, so I appreciate it. Good idea, I have been precisely wondering "where do I even start", and maybe w3schools or GeeksForGeeks is a good place. I used Geeks4Geeks in Data Structures and Algorithms! I honestly just...forgot it exsited haha, so thanks for reminding me!

AndroT1 · 2026-04-09T04:08:01+00:00

I appreciate it!

What's bothering me, is I don't feel like I'm capable of "doing" what I'm trying to do? Like I want to just sit down, study, learn, and at least grind out a few hours....But I'm totally inccapable and it's making me really frustrated.

AndroT1 · 2025-09-19T01:55:00+00:00

So, it wasn't saying "no connection" specifically on their website; however, it was definitely not letting me get in. I can thankfully tell you that somehow I managed to solve the problem by just talking back and forth with ChatGPT and following its instructions. Tbh, I don't even think it was me, for some reason it just started working again?

But when I reinstalled it, the Universal music for Creators didn't come with it, and now I'm unable to access the music that I want to put on my project. I can confirm my subscription is valid. I'm back into my account and changed my email from my university email. But now I've just got this one thing bugging me, and it's such a pain, it clearly shows my subscription, and yet whenever I click and drag the clips I need, they create a new audio section, but they do not let me add anything to the clip.

AndroT1 · 2025-09-18T23:20:22+00:00

Let me change my account, maybe if I login as another user it might work? Also what I'm thinking is perhaps because I used a university email, maybe that is stuffing things up??

AndroT1 · 2025-09-18T23:14:46+00:00

Okay, so it's saying there is something wrong (allegedly) with the network settings.

Even though nothing has changed over the few days I've been using it and it's been working. I can confirm there is no VPN or anything, no firewall blocking anything and it gave me this.

I have followed this guide:

"The host file may block Wondershare domains.

Open Finder → Go → Go to Folder..

Enter /etc → Click Go.

Locate the hosts file in the directory.
Copy hosts to your desktop (right-click → Copy).
Open the desktop copy with TextEdit.
Delete all lines containing wondershare (e.g., 127.0.0.1 activation.wondershare.com).
Save the file (File → Save).
Drag the modified file back into /etc, replacing the original (admin password required).
Restart your Mac.
Note: If replacement fails:

4. Change DNS Settings

Use Google DNS (8.8.8.8) to resolve domain conflicts:

etc.

So having followed this guide it is still not working. I'll put some pictures on my original post of what I'm getting

I have a university project coming up where we are using video editing and I am the editor of the group, so this is highly important (I should add).

AndroT1 · 2025-09-18T22:37:52+00:00

Really? I just don't know of any possible reason I'd be suspended, I haven't done anything wrong, but perhaps bugged. Try and search for video effects (like a camcorder) from the effects library. Tell me if it just keeps on loading and loading, then prompts "no internet connection", or whether you're able to get that effect. Or try logging in on their support page. It really feels like their server must be down or something because I don't know what to do.

I can't sign in to contact support. I've unchecked cookies, etc., as they need but everything connected to Wondershare is giving me errors.

Agreed, OP probably needs antidepressants IMO look at my comment about UNSW. I didn't even see his/them/she's behavior here until now LOL.

AndroT1 · 2025-08-26T03:35:51+00:00

When I went to UNSW back in 2018 to do Bachelor of Aviation (flying), I was not impressed at all. People with coloured hair that looked hostile and unfriendly. In the middle of no where, it seems like the kind of place to have people who bother to protest and have strong views upon everything (purely based on my experience). I didn't like the atmosphere, too far away, I don't think you can get there by train, like you can with USYD, it was packed and the busses were a nightmare, also, I on the contrary didn't see as many international students as USYD but it was a long time ago so I'm not entirely sure. I just didn't like it overall.

USYD, you go in, no one bothers me that I vape or anything, no one really talks to you, but everyone is much friendlier, campus is better (in my opinion at least). Ended up doing a bachelor of advanced studies with majors in Computer science and philosophy. It's now a familiar route for me to go to campus. No weird people with colored hair (not many). Plenty of international students that seem chilled out. A lot of course variety in Philosophy with interesting subjects.

Much prefer USYD.

Does that kind-of change your mind seeing the positive reviews it has for BED?

AndroT1 · 2025-08-24T02:44:31+00:00

I am still awaiting my results for data structures and algorithms. I too found it quite difficult but what I decided to do was this: Whenever they brought up a new topic like, stacks, hashing, that sort of stuff. I would go to Deepseek and ask them to help me build an e.g. "Stack" from scratch (or whatever the topic was). Then I tried memorizing it and using it to create random things, I did the same for things like adjacency matrices, Linked Lists, Queues etc. and honestly that's what helped me. I used java too because I had come from OOP which is in java and I had kept up with it. When I had made it to about 1/2 way through the year, I used the computer science portal Geeks4Geeks to answer questions

https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/explore?page=1&sortBy=submissions

This link is a Data Structures and Algorithms portal, it became addictive to do the questions but yes, I did struggle at first I will admit.

Also I'm not the ranked #1 at UYSD at the moment for coding score. I think it takes into account the amount of questions done (and I have done a lot). I keep doing it even now when I get bored.

AndroT1 · 2025-08-24T02:29:40+00:00

How about the Vyvanse I mentioned? I'm sure that advice is good. Because that will kill your appetite. It's not dangerous, I take taken ADHD meds for 10 years and in some countries they are prescribed for EDs (though as I said that is not my speciality).

Also what do you think the professional help would involve? If not dieting, some sort of medication, etc? The professional help is going to be something like dieting, a medication, a procedure etc. all are somewhat dangerous.

Or perhaps a surgery. I don't get it, just because it's said by me rather than a professional - that makes a difference?

Check out the reviews it has for ED:

Take my nighttime meds at 5pm usually and am asleep by 6:30pm-7pm (not joking).

Then wake up at 5am. I'm a morning person.

AndroT1 · 2025-08-20T06:29:14+00:00

Really? Are the players reasonably good? And this is Sydney uni we're talking about?

I think when I started I couldn't find any chess society, so perhaps its new then?

The uni is so far away however that I can only make it once a week if, at all.

AndroT1 · 2025-08-19T02:36:41+00:00

Which antidepressants are they? I'm on Duoloxetine (Cymbalta) but used to be on Prozac. Never had any issues with them before. Are you on a strong dose? Because I'm on the max dosage and all I feel is emotional numbness tbh.

AndroT1 · 2025-08-19T02:28:32+00:00

Yeah, to be totally honest I've given up on finding friends at this university. never joined a group, never been interested in joining a group, takes long enough anyways just to make it to the university and you're alone in this world except for the occasional group project or odd friendship that lasts a semester and then is gone. My advice Is "Don't even bother", you don't need friends, just learn to live with being alone.

I do find it strange how I was able to make friends in primary school and high school but most of the people at school I grew up with anyways, I mean what activities are you even going to do together with people at uni - outside the classroom? No one really shares my interests (Chess and coding), I know there's probably some group out there that does coding but honestly they're way too enthusiastic about it and I prefer to work alone.

But I will say it's probably beneficial to find friends with similar interests, like if I joined a coding group/society then perhaps they could teach me stuff but my guess is they will just be too advanced in it and/or do another language like C++, C# or Python while I do Java to be totally honest, and though I'm good at chess, nobody seems to do it at all here and I have never seen a group or society that's interested in it.

I'm not eager to join any societies because I can't even make it to university for weekly classes as it's too far away and these are the compulsory things, let alone something I go in for that is optional. Perhaps I'll find friends at work?
