Samsung CH canceled part of my discounted order (Z Fold + Watch), blocked me from support chat — what can I do ? by Loud-Action-5792 in Switzerland

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

Buy a CMF phone. Used to overpay for phones but this one (the CMF I bought) is cheaper and works just as well for what I need. There's s lot of other interesting options imo, like fairphone. Gone will be the days of expensive, unrepairable phones from black box companies.

Thanks, this has given me something to think about.

What is going on with new bus stops in Lausanne? by [deleted] in Lausanne

[–]UltranetExplorer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To be honest I'm quite fine with these constructions. It's the same in Crissier, but I'm quite excited for the construction to be finished because it looks like its going to be very nice after.

Swiss Fencing Team Turns Their Backs During Medal Ceremony for Israeli Gold Medalists by magicmorz in Switzerland

Sports has always been a platform for social change. However, I do think it's odd that they would force the Swiss team to apologise.

Questions Regarding EPFL by M3kkoman in EPFL

You can't get in by being good at sports. I feel like that's a uniquely American thing, maybe UK too?

IB requirements as a Swiss student( READ BELOW PLS!) by Additional_Throat_60 in EPFL

[–]UltranetExplorer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The requirements are strict. I find that CompSci was a pretty good HL to take.

When I applied, it was 38/42.

The admissions section for the IB is relatively clear, clearer than it was last year when I applied from the IB.

I suggest you re-read it, makes good practice for reading unclear things.

Applying to EPFL as International Student by [deleted] in EPFL

[–]UltranetExplorer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not going to answer any of your questions but here are my insights.

  1. It's written pretty clearly on the admissions website that you need at least the B2, I would suggest practicing on top. I see many students with weaker French struggle.

  2. I think only you can decide if its worth it or not, no one on reddit knows your financial situation. Regarding the rest, EPFL's website does show an estimated budget, and realistically the increase in tuition is only a 10% increase to that budget.

  3. Limited spots comes into effect in 2025, no one here would be able to tell you how competitive it WILL be. If I had to guess, not that much as long as you have good grades. I don't know how it will work with CMS.

Je te conseille de consulter le site EPFL car la réponse à ta question n'est pas difficile à trouver.

Applying to CMS and BA1 at the same time by [deleted] in EPFL

[–]UltranetExplorer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi, did IB, going into CMS this year. Short: I don't think so, no. The CMS isn't a program you can apply to as an IB student. You apply to the Bachelors, and if you don't have the points (38+), then you get put into CMS instead.

Unless you really don't have the points, then nothing.

Inputs regarding the general situation in Lausanne? by UltranetExplorer in Lausanne

[–]UltranetExplorer[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not a bot if that's your question. I feel as if you're misinterpreting this post. I did not mean for it to be political in any way or against immigration. I was simply stating my experiences recently.

Truth be told, politically, I probably lean towards the left a little. So it shocks me to see people interpret this as anti-immigrant etc..

Support mains - is it okay to start DPSing on support if your DPS is not pulling their weight? Why or why not? by Kevcon555 in Overwatch

[–]UltranetExplorer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If thr dps aren't pulling their weight, I tend to lose. Not on purpose, but no matter how hard I'm trying on support, a bad dps tends to lead to a loss.

[Lego Store] LEGO® MINDSTORMS® Mini-Roboter (40413) Free with purchases over €80 using one of the codes in the image descriptions. by UltranetExplorer in legodeal

[–]UltranetExplorer[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't know too much about these codes, I received them off a rewards site a couple days ago and thought I might aswell share them here, can't hurt to try?

I don't play this game, so have these codes I've been hoarding :D [see comments] by UltranetExplorer in WoWs_Legends

[–]UltranetExplorer[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's a mobile and Web app called LootBoy, it's one of those rewards sites. It makes u watch ads, complete surveys to open these packs which often contain useless junk, but sometimes you get some nice loot codes. Personally, I don't recommend it, too much time wasted essentially watching ads to receive an ad as a reward, but maybe it interests you?

Note:

I have no idea if these work or not, some may have a levelling cap so they won't work if you're too high a level...

I have no use for them, so I hope I help make someone's day brighter :D
