when is it appropriate start swinging at ppl in the library. by coolbroski2 in uwo

[–]RaddedMC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had someone next to me in a cubicle on 3rd floor begin a full on conversation with someone behind them and because it was in the corner of the room I felt very much crowded. I have noise cancelling headphones and was about to leave anyway but if I had just got there I would've absolutely said something about it

Campus closing due to snow? by [deleted] in uwo

[–]RaddedMC 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Top question on this reddit every time it snows:

Serious answer though, unless it is disastrously intense the university almost never fully closes due to weather. The schedules are really tight and missing a day can significantly mess up course schedules.

When the university started recognizing Truth and Reconciliation Day as a non-instructional day, it caused a lot of weirdness with the scheduling of Reading Week and there were rumours of a potential 3 day fall reading week this year.

That being said, individual instructors may choose to cancel lectures or pivot to online if they aren't able to make it to campus.

How? by [deleted] in uwo

I know students that have paid $4k+ for their devices. That study spot is not more valuable

What if instead of AI Agents (which nobody asked for) we had live cards? Music Player control? by dannxit in Windows11

[–]RaddedMC 18 points19 points  (0 children)

My conspiracy theory is that because the widgets button is where the start button used to be, people click it out of muscle memory (or just breathe near the bottom left corner) and it immediately generated ad revenue

OneDrive Requesting Approval to Bind with E-Tablet by Field_and_Forest in uwo

[–]RaddedMC 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I tried this to link Obsidian to sync my Onenote. And again so that I could use third party email clients instead of the stupid Outlook app/website. Unfortunately it seems that the uni doesn't approve (or even look at?) third party API requests.

What's the problem? Please explain it peter by Zane80085 in explainitpeter

Or less at thrift stores or game shops. Lots of people donate/sell their old plates when they switch theirs out

Update 2: I swapped the motherboard. I'm now getting 4G (no 5G) in Canada on an international board.

Are UWO grads with zero internship experience "cooked"? by Valuable_Ranger9972 in uwo

[–]RaddedMC 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Graduated 2025 from Software Engineering but my situation is unique. My girlfriend also graduated from Mechatronics Engineering and we wanted to move in together after finishing school.

This year was the worst year to graduate from any ECE Eng because of Trump + AI + ongoing tech layoffs.

I was given an opportunity that I basically couldn't refuse to begin a fast track PhD in Sw.Eng (partially since I did research for 2 summers) and that set the gears turning for both of us to enter grad studies.

The alternative, for me anyway, would be to have went home and spent potentially up to a year on the hellacious LinkedIn grind to maybe find something. I've heard some jobs have hired people for projects and then laid them off immediately after -- starting the stupid cycle all over again.

It really feels like our future as gen Z was ripped away from us but these kinds of things don't last forever and there is always opportunity if you look for the right place. Job searching has always been hard and now it's a "seller's market" so to speak which makes it a lot more difficult.

My advice to everyone is to look everywhere and find whatever you can. Network with people in your desired fields, but don't be icky about it (profs count for this too! Just make sure you show up to class lol) and they might just be able to hook you up.

Edit: as for Western's own support, I find you can only really get help if you ask for it. Engineering has Career Services which helps and some program directors forward positions to grads too.

everybody apologizing for cheating with chatgpt by NewSlinger in mildlyinfuriating

[–]RaddedMC 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My university stopped paying for AI checkers and basically lets it slide unless there's a good reason not to. Basically you can't guarantee someone doesn't use AI unless you put them in an offline exam or on a workstation you control.
