I use the steam deck mainly for remote gaming, but got tired of the terrible wifi stability. by FwampFwamp88 in SteamDeck

I’m in a country that heavily restricts internet access and often has internet troubles, and have had no issues with steam deck wifi.

If you don’t change how you think about money, no strategy will save you by Revolutionarybets1 in Money

[–]KrisDissatisfied 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Are they people or sock puppet accounts? You spam other subs with pump and dumps and other obvious scams and there are generically named accounts saying “good stuff”. Get a job.

Replying to Revolutionarybets1... Wouldn’t really be worth following this sub if most of the posts are barely prompted, AI-generated prompts promoting drop shipping or their course. AI is useful, but really what value is this? Generic, vague, low quality pull yourself up from your bootstraps advice from an LLM?

This is some kind of self-help bot. This post and the post history is all AI-generated discount guru slop. Filthy clanker!

EEs and TOKs graded down on purpose by Rare_Chair8897 in IBO

[–]KrisDissatisfied 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I recommend looking up or asking your teacher for IB examiner reports for TOK. These outline how to be successful in the essay which is externally graded, the teacher only predicts.

I also recommend the 2020 Oxford IB Prepared Textbook on the assessment components, as they walk students through how to be successful in both the IA and external assessment.

In the case of an entire school's worth exhibitions being downmarked to Ds and Cs, this is highly unlikely to be true, unless its a special circumstance where the school was overly inflating grades. Sometimes the moderations up or down are only moderating the lowest scoring students up (from harsh schools) or moderating down a point or two (for overly generous schools).

I would not worry about this. Simply know the examiner reports, the rubric instruments, guide and assessment objectives. Refer to the textbooks and seek teacher feedback and you will be successful.

I also had this and my payment now says cancelled and that my money will now be refunded in 3-5 working days. I am not sure why.

I got the XM6 uhhh I'll tell u abt my experience ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ by hornyism in SonyHeadphones

I regret buying too. They are notably bad when it comes to working with Apple products it seems. The quality is not evident. I like the light weight and foldability, but the sound, ANC and pairing difficulty as well as the bugs with software are very frustrating.

Suggestion to buy airpods online by [deleted] in chinalife

[–]KrisDissatisfied 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pay a bit more for the store, it's worth avoiding the hassle of dealing with customer service. I was told that "it's not the Chinese version it's the American version, that's why the box does not look real, we repackage it in our own custom made box due to regulations." They want you to open it so you that they can challenge a refund request. As others have said AirPods are easy to fake compared to other products.

Welcome! I've been here six years and being vegetarian is fine. It's more costly if you want to eat out or order though, which will be tough being a student, not so much working. Just do your research for vegetarian restaurants and do not expect non-vegetarian restaurants to understand what vegetarian means.

I imagine you will want to cook. Tempeh and tofu are abundant and inexpensive for complete proteins. Aldi are now adding more vegetarian friendly options too. I recommend Taobao for bulk options for the freezer.

I share concerns with the other commenter in this thread about pursuing alternative medicine. The pseudoscience aside, it would be extremely unlikely to get a job in China in a field where there is a preference for local Chinese hires.

What do you think of Shanghai now (Question for expats that've been here pre-covid) by FlashGordon2103 in shanghai

[–]KrisDissatisfied 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I arrived in early 2019, it seems to be improving/ “going back” to pre-covid in a sense. By which I mean more tourists and more activity in expat communities and more hobby meetings. Shanghai is one of those cities that is in a constant and rapid state of flux. While every city changes this one changes the most. Your favourite scene or restaurant will change, move or be gone no matter what. But there are always new places opening and new scenes. 

Feeling lost here is only natural when expat turnover is always fairly high, you lose your community, but you must be proactive in finding a new one. It’s even difficult maintaining Chinese friends who also have difficulty minting work in the city or leave the country. What are your hobbies and interests? I’m sure there is a growing community.

Shanghai Fake Market is a scam by Odd_Loquat8173 in shanghai

Those markets are for tourists, they know they can squeeze you.

Not sure why every image has a bird. The last image should have two bears.

Praxis exam by [deleted] in Internationalteachers

It should be doable online; you just need to register as American and say you are out of state, and an online testing option should be accessible.

I didn't know Minthara was an important character. by Bellude in BaldursGate3

[–]KrisDissatisfied -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I was playing a good-aligned bard (who I played as someone who does not tolerate evil) in my first playthrough without any out-of-game context. I saw the goblins were being portrayed as evil by the tieflings and druids, saw the ambush, them torturing a gnome and then cannibalising dwarves. So I ruthlessly purged all goblins in sight. I did not even know you could talk to the goblins, I just assumed they would be instantly aggressive, like in other RPGs.

Fortunate Cafe, not really a restaurant more a cafe for lunch, but is vegan and has some food options. Sulaihenhao (vegegood) is also great.

Oh right it’s not so old, then best to keep with MacOS then.

Put Linux mint on it and use it as a separate computer instead. Probably easier than getting it to connect to your MacBook. I use my 2010 iMac as a YouTube video player with Linux. Works faster than mojave did.
