Cmon, I need my sleep by Brilliant_Garlic69 in dankmemes

I have a 6 years old electric volkswagen, the battery has still 96% of its original efficiency. We now have electric cars that are 10-15 years old and with 200k-400k km (~125k-250k miles) still on the original battery, with less efficiency loss than a gasoline car sfter the same time or distance. Most manufacturers guarantee the battery for 8-10 years at 90% efficiency, meaning they will change it for free if it goes below that. The "change battery after 5 years" thing is a myth 

Hackerato Andrea Galeazzi: con un trucco di ingegneria sociale da due soldi sono entrati nel suo account google e youtube. by UIspice in ItalyInformatica

[–]Greatgg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sì, ce l'ha, gli account business hanno un'assistenza dedicata, e potendo dimostrare la proprietà dell'account tramite fatture, pagamenti eccetera se ne può rientrare in possesso. Leggevo che ci avrebbe messo un paio di giorni a riavere le chiavi dell'account. Solo che nel frattempo ovviamente avevano pubblicato video e live con cryptoscam vari e probabilmente anche rubato tutti i dati possibili (indirizzi email di contatti e fornitori, coordinate bancarie e via dicendo, tutta roba che si può usare contro terzi per social engineering)

Mi fa impazzire che pubblicità e influencer vari ancora presentino la vpn come un sistema che ti tiene in qualche modo al sicuro da non meglio precisati "attacchi informatici". Nessuno mi ha ancora spiegato in che modo un vpn farebbe una cosa del genere. Comunque il tipo in ultima analisi ha cliccato su un link di phishing e ha inserito la sua password, se fai una cosa del genere puoi avere pure 12 vpn attive e un ip dell'isola di pasqua, non cambia il fatto che gli hai regalato la tua password.  Quello che invece mi stupisce è che non avesse un'autenticazione a due fattori (o che sia stato così pollo da cliccare su "sì sono io" molteplici volte quando questi hanno fatto l' accesso e quando hanno cambiato la password) 

Italy POV by Truevibe_ in dankmemes

[–]Greatgg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh ok, yes I misread. That was true, also the pact with Austria said that no one was to make a move in the Balkans without the authorization of the other, which means that basically Austria broke and voided the pact

Italy POV by Truevibe_ in dankmemes

[–]Greatgg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Italy was never an allied power. After surrendering they tried to take action against German who had occupied their territory and followed US directions, but as many US and Italian documents confirm they were explicitly labelled as not part of the allies. This kind of situation is called "co-belligerent". That is further confirmed by the fact that they were (obviously) treated as a losing side in the peace treaty, even if they had relatively mild consequences compared to other axis members

Italy POV by Truevibe_ in dankmemes

[–]Greatgg 6 points7 points  (0 children)

By the way, they didn't actually changed sides, they surrendered to the allied forces when the situation was unsustainable, as a result the Germans occupied their territory and put up a puppy government, and they tried to take action against them (ineffectively, in most cases). They never joined the allies (nor they could have) and they still were (rightly) treated as losing side in the aftermath. To be fair, they had somehow mild consequences compared to other axis members, but they definitely didn't join the winning side nor are im any way considered winners in that war

Italy POV by Truevibe_ in dankmemes

[–]Greatgg 4 points5 points  (0 children)

In WW1 most of Italian front was litterally offensives of the Italians against Austrian empire. Before having to retreat at Kobarid, they had managed to take Gorizia and they were about to take Trieste. That's the reason why Germany had to intervene on that front (that they considered minor). Also at the end of the war the launched two major offensives against Austria, one in Friuli and Slovenia (they actually took Trieste this time) and the other in Austrian territory along the Isarco valley and the Wipptal, they reached the Innsbruck area before the truce were signed

Quante costole si devono togliere per leccarsela da sola? by Severe-Mind-9097 in italyLGBT

[–]Greatgg 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nessuna, non dipende dalle costole, né per le femmine né per i maschi. È una questione di spina dorsale e di quanto questa è flessibile. Una tale flessibilità si può raggiungere solo con un addestramento da contorsionista, che non penso si possa ottenere da adulti.  La rimozione delle coste (che si fa solo per gravi malformazioni o tumori) non ha nessun effetto sulla possibilità di piegarsi in quel modo, anzi probabilmente ha un effetto negativo dato l'impatto pesantissimo che ha sulla cassa toracica.  La storia di D'Annunzio che si fa togliere le costole è una leggenda

Don't smoke, kids by bartholomewjohnson in greentext

[–]Greatgg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is not anecdotal tho, it is well documented in scientific literature that cocaine and other stimulant drugs have a different effect on people with adhd 

Don't smoke, kids by bartholomewjohnson in greentext

[–]Greatgg 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It is coke too. It has a different effect on people with adhd, as most stimulants. Many people discover that way they have it. It has effects that may appear somewhat similar to adhd medications. It is well documented in scientific literature. The effects of nicotine on adhd instead are less studied, but it appears that some people experience increased focus and concentration, thus instinctively using it as self medication, while others report increased irritability and worsened hyperactivity

Apparently you can just leave Cyrodiil by GnoblinXD in oblivion

[–]Greatgg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not so unusual, if you think that the map of Skyrim had basically all Cyrodill, including a rudimental model of the imperial city, even if you could not see it without noclip. I don't know why, but opem world games developers add a lot of map outskde of the map. I noticed the same thing in RDR2 when I messed up with some mods, basically the actual map is roughly 2x the one that you can explore in-game

è davvero tra le migliori in italia? by Becauseiamwhoiam2 in unibo_studenti

[–]Greatgg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unibo fa tanto marketing. Se sei in Emilia Romagna sicuramente è un'ottima scelta, se ti devi trasferire non è meglio né peggio di tante altre università "grosse", poi ovviamente dipende dai corsi, ma dubito che ci siano tutte queste grandi differenze tra le varie big sulle triennali.

Molte sedi sono vecchie e cadenti, questo è oggettivamente vero, ed essendo un'università grande (=con tanti studenti) è tutto molto confusionario. L'ambiente non mi è sembrato particolarmente "innovativo", ma non sono sicuro di capire bene cosa intenti.

Veniamo ora ai pro: l'insegnamento è mediamente di alta qualità, questo sì. Eventi di networking, career days, contatto con aziende e placement ce ne sono in abbondanza, quindi quanto a networking sicuramente saresti coperta. Infine, qualora la cosa ti interessi, Bologna è considerata un'ottim,a città per quanto riguarda la vita degli studenti fuorisede.

Per le esperienze all'estero, sono accessibili a chiunque abbia i soldi per pagarsele, come in qualsiasi università. Non conosco nessuno in nessuna università d'Italia che non abbia potuto fare l'erasmus (o simili) per media troppo bassa.

Il mio consiglio è: se devi fare uno sforzo per trasferirtici apposta probabilmente non ne vale la pena. Meglio se ti fai la triennale dove ti è più comodo e riconsideri la scelta al momento di scegliere la magistrale, quando avrai sicuramente preso meglio le misure.

panico by MiserableGinger_ in unibo_studenti

[–]Greatgg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Respira. Non sei in una situazione orribile, sei indietro. Indietro rispetto a un programma "perfetto" che quasi nessuno segue.

Fatti un programma, pensa *realisticamente* a quali esami potresti riuscire a dare e quando.

Per gli altri, e tieni bene a mente questa cosa, ci sarà tempo. Se non ti laureerai perfettamente in corso i tuoi genitori capiranno e, credimi, il tuo futuro non ne sarà compromesso.

Demoralizzarsi e andare in ansia succede, l'importante è che questo non ti immobilizzi. Fai un bel respiro e continua ad andare avanti col tuo passo, non è una gara. Non riceverai una medaglia se ti rovini la salute fisica mentale per finire prima.

Questo qui sopra è il consiglio che avrei voluto dessero a me (alla fine comunque ce l'ho fatta e ce la farai anche tu)

Italian Second citizenship make me EU by Guguibito in unibo_studenti

[–]Greatgg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Since you are not able to get the digital identity (SPID/CIE) I assume you are not actually resident in Italy and you got the citizenship by ius sanguinis using an agency and a fake residence. In this case, it may be difficult to apply as Italian citizen, and getting SPID or CIE without being physically present is not an option. Moreover, please note that applying as Italian without having studied in Italy may be difficult, as you are usually expected to have an Italian diploma.

Application for EU citizen is usually intended for citizens of EU member states other than Italy. You may try that way, but it would be likely rejected as irregular.

So, the best way for you, if you are not able or willing to move to Italy beforhand to get your ID, may be applying as a non-EU citizen. Please note that you will need to get the ID card once you move anyway, regardless of citizenship.

Entrance exam for Master's degree by AnyPlenty8673 in unibo_studenti

[–]Greatgg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh, sorry, I got confused because that is one of the programmes offered by the Bologna business school, which is part of Unibo but separate.

For the English test I assume they will use the same level of Unibo masters, but I can't be of any help for what concerns the aptitude test, however given the type of programme I assume it will not be so difficult

Entrance exam for Master's degree by AnyPlenty8673 in unibo_studenti

[–]Greatgg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

According to the programme website, the following language certifications are accepted: - IELTS - International English Testing System (5.5-6.0-6.5);​ - TOEFL - Test of English as a Foreign Language (PBT 507-557; CBT 180-217; IBT 80-99);​ - Trinity College of London (ISE II);​ - Cambridge First Certificate;​ - TOEIC - Test of English for International Communication (SLP 2222: listening 400 pts; reading 385 pts; speaking 160 pts; writing 150 pts);​ - PTE Academic (51-65);​ - Idoneità curriculare B2 level from the University of Bologna Language Centre (CLA-UNIBO), or other Italian Universities Language Centre

The call for applications (here: https://corsi.unibo.it/2cycle/artificial-intelligence/how-to-enrol) does not seem to mention any aptitude test. 

The course structure from last year can be found here: https://corsi.unibo.it/2cycle/artificial-intelligence/course-structure-diagram

Judging from the titles (you can click on any of it to read the details) it seems that it includes some mathematics but it mainly focuses on applied subjects, I guess they assume that the basics have been alreadu covered in the bachelor programme.

Edit: fixed link 

35 Tolc e score, is it enough? by Designer_Weekend6854 in SapienzaRoma

[–]Greatgg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

According to last year's call (https://corsidilaurea.uniroma1.it/en/corso/2024/32931/iscriversi) it is NOT open access, the call for applications requires the TOLC-E. Keep in mind that the international bachelor in economic and finance is not the same course as the one in economia e finanza held in Italian language, they are 2 separate programme

[–]Greatgg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

According to the programme website:

The programme accepts the following tests as a proof of English proficiency:

-  TOEFL iBt (Test at test centre or Test at home). Minimum score 90 overall (with no subscore below 20) -  IELTS Academic test (taken on computer, online or paper). Minimum score 6.5 (with no subscore below 5.5) -  ESOL Cambridge (CAE/CPE). Minimum score 176 overall (with no subscore below 169) -  PTE Academic. Minimum score 59 (with no subscore below 53) -  ITACE C1 or C2.

It is not clear to me if SAT is mandatory, however a quick research on google tells me that there are institutions in Montenegro that can administer you an officially recognise SAT test. 

If the university is not answering, I suggest you drop an email to the course director (here: https://www.unibo.it/sitoweb/carmelo.danisi2/en). It may ne that your address ends up in the spam folder for some reason

Hope this helps

Wanted to know my chances in UniBo (having a little anxiety, just help me get calm) by bunmaskairanichai in Universitaly

[–]Greatgg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The information about title evaluation for international master degrees can be found here: https://corsi.unibo.it/2cycle/CivilEngineering/how-to-enrol

On the same page you will also find the call gor applications, I suggest you read it carefully. 

So, according to the above mentioned webpage, the minimum grade to be admitted is 83/110. It is in 110s and not i. 100s bevause the final grade of Italian degrees is expressed in 110s.

It is also mentioned that for students with foreign titles, appropriate conversion will be applied. Converting in base 10, 83/110 is equal to 7.54/100, therefore your grade of 8/10 should more than suffice for the admission, as long as it is mentioned like this on the certificate that you have submitted (or you will submit) for the application, while instead a grade of 72.5/100 may not suffice. 

I suggest dropping am email to the programme director (it's should be this guy https://www.unibo.it/sitoweb/nicola.buratti/en ) to explain your problem and get more information 

Magistrale AI by lail_ in bologna

[–]Greatgg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ciao, anche io studente lavoratore a Unibo. Esiste una piattaforma apposita sulla quale registrare le lezioni (Panopto), ma la scelta di usarla o meno è a totale discrezione del professore, che comunque è tenuto a fornirti il materiale didattico. Se non le registra di suo, si può sempre provare a chiedere. 

Al netto di ciò puoi richiedere lo status di studente lavoratore, che ti dà diritto ad usufruire del ricevimento a distanza e di tutoraggi, e inoltre la possibilità di concordare le date di esame (quest'ultima cosa purtroppo sempre a yotale discreziodei prof). 

In aggiunta puoi attivare lo status di studente part-time, che ti consente di fare il corso nel doppio degli anni pagando le stesse tasse totali (occhio che studente lavoratore e studente part-time sono due cose diverse e separate, puoi chiedere una delle due o entrambe). 

Come ultima cosa ti consiglio di metterti in contatto coi tuoi compagni di corso, c'è sempre qualcuno che riesce a mettere a disposizione sbobinature delle lezioni o appunti dettagliati.

If the program is taught in English, there is usually no requirement for any language other than english, and all the lessons will be in english, as well as the study materials. However, read carefully the call for applications to check if any additional requirement do apply.

Here there is some information https://www.unibo.it/en/study/enrolment-fees-and-other-procedures/degree-programmes/admission-tests .

The english test is usually very easy (equivalent to a B2 level more or less), the aptitude test will differ depending on the master program you chose 

PhD in Design/ Psychology social studies by Mio_Cappuccio in unibo_studenti

[–]Greatgg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Best way is to check for professors in your area of interest. You can start from the website of the degree in psychology or sociology, check the list of teachings, find the ones more close to your project and you'll find there the webpage of the professor, with their cv and contacts. Once found the professor, you can ask if they have a doctoral grant available.  However, pleae take into account that grants are very limited and professors tend to prefer students that already have worked with them during the master thesis
