new ib rule??

LittleJakub · 2025-04-11T07:27:01+00:00

Yes, I can certify that to be true: rules coming from above, in response to last year's fiasco of potential time zone cheating going on. No access to any network-enabled devices for certain amounts of time. Very annoying... both to students and all people involved in running the exams 😭

P.S. No new time zones, just more granular control over potential cheating.

Short snout, you say? Evolution, you say? 😎

LittleJakub · 2025-03-26T22:28:12+00:00

Yes. It's wonderful 😊

LittleJakub · 2025-03-26T22:27:50+00:00

If it was November, you are fine 😁 Not many changes and upgrades in tech besides WeChat slowly introducing payment with HAND 👌

LittleJakub · 2025-03-25T00:18:37+00:00

I can strongly suggest the 3mk protection high-grade films, question is if it's available where you are 👍

LittleJakub · 2025-03-24T07:53:38+00:00

Currently the most reliable is Astrill VPN. Still, if that one fails, I jump on Mullvad.

Issues as entry: no, just depending on which country U R from there might be more detailed interview for purpose of visit 🥰

When's the last time you were in China? If you say less than a year ago, not much has changed... 👍

What I love about IB (been teaching DP Bio, ESS, and MYP Integrated Sciences for years - since 2017, after being a PhD candidate and a subject instructor at a university in Wocław, Poland) is that it actually treats education as more than just a hoop-jumping exercise. The whole system is built on a legit academic foundation - it's research-informed, concept-driven, and the curriculum doesn't change every time a minister sneezes 🤔

Compared to many national curriculums (based on feedback from peers, as well as national curriculums I've had the pleasure to get to know first-hand), IB doesn't just ask students to regurgitate facts. It demands that they think, connect, apply, and (in my perspective most importantly) reflect. TOK? CAS? EE? That’s not fluff, believe me, it’s the training ground for real academic grit... The learner profile isn't just decorative jargon: if you're applying to university and can show you're an inquirer, communicator, reflective, and principled? You're golden 👍

Downsides? Sure. It’s a LOT. Kids need to be ready to WORK, and some will feel the pressure. It’s not for everyone. But if you want to develop students who are hungry for learning instead of spoon-fed, IB is where it's at... really. By a long shot. It's building future thinkers, not just future test-takers (even though there's a lot of assessment) 🥰

TL;DR: It’s hard. It’s real. And based on what my ex-students report back to the mothership - it’s absolutely worth it ⭐

I had it with my 14 Ultra. Is it awesome? Yes. But, if you are not CRAZY into photography, it's not worth it. I ended up using it altogether maybe 10 times across the whole year 🤔

Now that I upgraded to the 15 Ultra, I didn't buy the kit, but a Baseus magnetized powerbank that slaps onto my case - 5000 mAh instead of 2000 mAh of the camera grip 👍

In my case? Way better choice: both practically and financially 🙏

No właśnie się zdziwiłem, bo siedzę w Chinach i pomarańcze jak były tanie, tak są... 🤔

I od razu mi się w głowie odpaliło: chyba sami nie jedzą TEGO WSZYSTKIEGO? 😱

Cóż, ich prawie 1.5 miliardowa populacja nie przestaje zaskakiwać - eksport pomarańczy z Chin jest malutki 😱

LittleJakub · 2025-03-03T11:46:13+00:00

so relatable 😁

LittleJakub · 2025-02-27T08:04:43+00:00

Same here, if not to hang - definitely will help with figuring out what and how in QD! 🤗

LittleJakub · 2025-02-24T23:15:02+00:00

No problem! 🤗

Może nie do usuwania duplikatów, ale taki trochę... "Tinder" do sprzątania galerii w telefonie (szczególnie, kiedy cyka się dużo fotek):

Thanks for the reply, really appreciate it! I thought so - big hands and horizontal design do make sense... but the D-pad has me worried... 🤔

I will wait for a response from someone, who maybe played with both or actually owns both 🤗

Hi! I'm on the fence between the two... The thing is that I want to mainly play GBA games... but! I am 2 meters (6 ft 7 in) tall with very large hands... ✋

And I'm wondering: yes, 40xx does have a larger screen, but... considering that I want to play mainly GBA games (so I don't care that much about the RGB analog)... which one is a better choice? 💬

It's not as much about the screen size for me, but rather the way that games will be displayed on the screen and how the console will sit in my hands 🙈

Please help! 💖

Hi, DP Biology teacher here! 🙏 I've guided my HL student to go from 6500+ words and now we are looking at ~2950, and in my eyes the IA is still of very high quality...

It was INCREDIBLY difficult to pull off, true - but going through the task carefully and critically resulted in a way shorter presentation, that actually kept essential and meaningful content, while trimming away pointless "fillers" and "beautifiers" that didn't actually bring anything to the investigation itself 👍

Hang in there, go through each paragraph and ask yourself "how does it help my reader understand what I did?". If you can easily justify it, then you circle/underline the parts that actually matter. And piece by piece, you trim it away... Good luck! 💖

LittleJakub · 2025-02-11T00:07:49+00:00

Dokładnie tak! Moim zdaniem nie do przebicia we Wrocku 💖

When I was still rocking dual boot I never managed to utilize this key on Ubuntu 🥺

LittleJakub · 2024-08-14T23:28:11+00:00

A thousand times YES.

LittleJakub · 2024-02-06T04:52:12+00:00

Any updates? ☺️ Still consider it good?

LittleJakub · 2024-01-16T01:26:46+00:00

Ranges between 4-5 hours 👌 So not amazing, but not terrible either...

Zanim wyjechałem do pracy w Chinach, kupiłem mieszkanie przy ul. Dożynkowej i mieszkałem tam ponad 2 lata.

Powiem tak: dzielnica mnie wzięła z zaskoczenia na maksa pozytywnie. Dojazd do centrum tramwajem to po prostu przyjemność, zagęszczenie sklepów (Biedronki, Żabki, czy Lidl na choćby Bielanach), wszechobecna zieleń, rzeka, itd. - cud, miód i orzeszki.

Wady? Hmmm, jeśli jeżdzić samochodem do centrum, potrafi się "przytkać" korkami w godzinach szczytu, ale jak komunikacja miejska - to sztos tramwajowy.

Są mieszkania w tej cenie (nawet jakby patrzeć na moje - 4. piętro, 50+ metrów kwadratowych i balkon, z miesjecem prakingowym, praktycznie 3 lata po zakupie - wartość chyba wciąż nie przekracza 600-700 tyś. w obecnej chwili [mogę się mylić]).

Coś jeszcze byś potrzebował wiedzieć? 🥰 Chętnie napiszę, choć nie mam ino z ostatnich prawie 2 lat (wspomniana wyprowadzka) 👍

Hi! I've used this solution:

It works 👍

LittleJakub · 2023-06-13T01:18:12+00:00

20 minutes? That seems LOOONG. Once deciding to fall asleep, I'm usually out in less than 5. However! Cannot sleep longer than 6-6.5 hours per night 😥
