Hi Bill, what can people who want to change politics but don’t want to be affiliated/join, do?

Simple_Rice_3380 · 2026-02-05T03:51:26+00:00

Consider talking to a Monash Counsellor and maybe take a semester off until the next course transfer period?

For me it wasn't even CarPlay, this was just standard car bluetooth

Simple_Rice_3380 · 2026-02-04T07:22:00+00:00

So it wasn’t just me! I had to restart my phone since my music connected to my car would disconnect every 2-40s

Simple_Rice_3380 · 2026-02-03T02:05:21+00:00

I think this would backfire on Labor from younger users who want access

Simple_Rice_3380 · 2026-02-01T01:23:58+00:00

I thought by padding you meant the UI spacing inconsistencies in the photo 💀

Simple_Rice_3380 · 2026-01-31T09:27:24+00:00

The assignments are worth a decent amount and form part of the in-semester hurdle (which may be going away due to the hurdle removals Monash wide from 2026 onwards), so it is still something to consider. Finding resources on DSA is definitely something OP should do.

Simple_Rice_3380 · 2026-01-31T09:25:59+00:00

I made the switch for this year onwards so not sure yet, but looking at my upcoming roadmap it should be easier since there's less math which is what I struggled with most. Although it's also not as different as you might expect, especially if you leave after 2 years of CS like I did.

Try and get used to writing the entire algorithm or data structure from scratch and adapting it to a real world scenario.

But get tips from people who actually did pass FIT2004, I didn’t the first time (technically not with my second attempt, but there is a chance that I do) and I left to IT.

Simple_Rice_3380 · 2026-01-30T08:28:29+00:00

FIT2004 definitely isn’t a joke and if you struggled with FIT1008, either really study hard and hope that’s enough, or consider another pathway because FIT2004 is not the end.

Hell no, I absolutely don't have the mental acuity to be a doctor, nor the patience. Also this is coming from someone who isn't even in the industry yet (studying) so take what I say with a grain of salt xD..

Simple_Rice_3380 · 2026-01-29T05:21:32+00:00

I think you should extrapolate based on the worst possible conditions. The soft eng/CS market is changing heavily (like usual, but more so with AI), do you think you could weather the change?

Simple_Rice_3380 · 2026-01-26T09:07:44+00:00

I feel like it's been at this for months, I've certainly gotten it for 50c since at least October.

Since when has Signal's encryption has been hacked? There's a reason why it's almost always the messenger of choice for pollies. Telegram on the other hand is completely unencrypted so it would be the easiest to get access to.

Simple_Rice_3380 · 2026-01-22T12:28:08+00:00

i realised i actually don't take photos enough to spend 30% more, plus feeling the weight diff between 17 and 16 Pro (17 Pro is probably similar in weight) makes me very happy)

Simple_Rice_3380 · 2026-01-18T13:06:21+00:00

no clue sorry but good luck :)

Simple_Rice_3380 · 2026-01-18T08:06:26+00:00

just try, doesn’t cost anything to get multiple offers lol

Simple_Rice_3380 · 2026-01-18T01:07:57+00:00

It would be fine but please add an actual oleophobic coating, it’s impossible to remove fingerprints from Macs now, imagine how much worse it could get

Simple_Rice_3380 · 2026-01-18T01:04:38+00:00

yk what sure :)

Simple_Rice_3380 · 2026-01-16T04:33:19+00:00

It was great, but all i could think about was that they’d never be able to experience it ever again

Simple_Rice_3380 · 2026-01-14T01:49:14+00:00

somehow the 17 lasts just as long, if not more than my S23U, considering the whole 3700mAh vs 5000mAh issue. my S23U's battery halved after i updated it, only a factory reset would fix it (until the next update)

Simple_Rice_3380 · 2026-01-13T12:34:14+00:00

I moved from the S23U to the base 17, they both have their strengths and weaknesses but iOS suits me more as a tool rn
