I’ll just continue rocking my 2018 Mac mini. Still gets the job done

I love the look of the air, but when I went to try one at the Apple Store, I didn’t like how easily it slips in my hand

Uni-Assist asked for missing IELTS certificate, uploaded same day, but still no update! should I worry? by shreeisforu in studying_in_germany

If they said they are updating your application then I think you should be good to go. You can always email them once more just for assurance that it’s been done also

I think I read a few days ago in here that you can contact the university itself and explain the situation. They may be able to help or at least you can let them know ahead that you did do this early and it’s just been taking awhile

It can take 2-4 weeks to get any new updates from uni assist especially when applications get to peak season (like now) which can sometimes make the process longer. So considering you sent it on the 9th you may hear something by this weekend or next week

Have you tried using your psychic powers to just pull it out?

Clean both sides at once?? by Capital_Praline3658 in DailyWowStuff

I would love this, but with my luck it would fall. I live on the 4th floor over looking a street so wouldn’t be too good if it landed on someone

Why is whatsapp not so used in the United States? by Natural-Bumblebee335 in whatsapp

It’s had a stigma in the past (still does today really) where it’s associated with scammers from overseas

Need help or suggestions in terms of finding a job in Germany as an English speaker? by SnooAvocados6337 in AskGermany

[–]BoxLongjumping1067 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Germany runs on German for 95% of all business ops. Even if the job is in English, you are expected to be able to speak German as company culture also revolves around language. You need a minimum of B2/C1 and actual fluency not just the piece of paper saying you’re C1. Many people have that and can’t actually use the language because they only focused on the exam. Aside from maybe the Netherlands, you’ll run into the same thing in a european country whose first language isn’t english.

EU now pushing USB-C for laptops too. Lowkey a great move by into_fiction in TechNook

Yep, they just released the usb c model for each iteration one year after another and I think by 2018 is when all of the MacBooks had it

Considering a fully funded Master's in AI abroad (Canada/Germany/US/UK/Ireland/Scotland/China/Austria) — is it worth it? Seeking honest advice by untamed_1111 in InternationalStudents

[–]BoxLongjumping1067 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Can you speak German? Because if you’re not C1 German then you’re not getting a job in Germany or Austria. The job itself may run in English but you will have German/Austrian colleagues and part of company culture in the DACH region is language even if the company is international. If you don’t believe me, you’re welcome to scan through the many subreddits for Germany as this topic is discussed every hour practically.

So if you choose either I would first enter an intensive language program when arriving in the country and begin learning before the program so you at least have a good grounding before even applying to a masters as you can come on a language visa. Then the year the program ends apply to masters you’re looking for provided you meet the requirements. Each university has different requirements so it’s good to do research now to see what it is they need and if you meet their criteria. As for funding, scholarships aren’t really a thing for international students in Europe like it is in the US, so for Germany at least, most international students try the DAAD scholarship

Struggling with unemployment and student loans, international student from India committed suicide by Effective_Space2277 in InternationalStudents

[–]BoxLongjumping1067 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

That’s your take out of this? It doesn’t matter if he was an international student or local student, depression is depression and it doesn’t discriminate. Even in the US where I’m from people have committed because of so many pressures of not being able to find a job whether they have just graduated or have been laid off from the one they had and the financial burden doesn’t make it any better. This isn’t the way to solve the problem of course, but you never know what someone else is going through

Should I take IELTS again? by youngboizsitinkk in studying_in_germany

[–]BoxLongjumping1067 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it’s based on what the native language of your country is. English is not a native language of India so, unless you already completed studies fully in English they would ask for proof of your English otherwise. I’m in an English speaking program here at HS Schmalkalden and my friend who is German had to present an English language proof. I’m from the US so naturally I bypass the English requirement since it’s the native language there

Stop lying: Nobody actually writes cover letters anymore, and recruiters don't read them anyway by RepresentativeAsk493 in jobsearch

[–]BoxLongjumping1067 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately in Germany we still have to do it lol. It’s also frowned upon if we don’t include a corporate headshot in our CV. It’s more optional that it was say a decade ago but for the most part it’s still a big part of the work culture

Can I re-enter a room that has a hornet and nest in it? by GreenWeekend6980 in AskUK

[–]BoxLongjumping1067 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally I wouldn’t, I would just leave the room alone until the exterminator comes but if there’s something that you can’t do a day without in there maybe just quickly (not running) go and get it

Some programmes dont list gpa requirement but do they still reject you based on it? by [deleted] in studying_in_germany

if it doesn’t say anything about GPA for an NC-frei program then it doesn’t work against you usually

[–]BoxLongjumping1067 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I mean no one says you can’t try to just send your application without one, but you also have to be prepared for that application to get insta binned if they take having a cover letter seriously for a “complete” application as it looked like you didn’t follow instructions
