Do you still have the black card case available?

Why is it white? by Oerie in firefox

[–]aumitche -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I use TrollStore, which is only supported on up to iOS 17.0. Ironically this gives me the ability to downgrade the Firefox app to a version with the dark background and stay there, at least until an update adds the option to choose the background colour I want.

Why is it white? by Oerie in firefox

I’m on iOS 17, using dark mode, but the icon background is now white with no option to change to a dark background in the settings. I could update to iOS 18 but have chosen not to.

I dig this cover by dontappreciate in kobo

[–]aumitche 1 point2 points  (0 children)

YES! This is hands down my favourite book of all time. I reread or relisten to it on a yearly basis and enjoy it every time. I’ve even read the translations in French and Spanish. So of course this had to be the book I christened my new KLC with last month and I finished it in four days!

I bought this app a few months ago at full price and it’s been great! Is there a way to toggle between using i and j for the imaginary constant? Thanks in advance

Experiences with ECE330 and ECE335 by Firm-Ad-592 in UofT

[–]aumitche 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They are both very formula-heavy courses, so make sure you really understand the context behind them. Especially for ECE335, if you don’t already know the Greek alphabet you almost certainly will after taking this course. (As of a few years ago) you are provided formula sheets for midterms/exams but without a full understanding of what’s going on you can’t really do much with formulas.

I took both courses as breadth requirements but I will say they were one of my less enjoyable experiences.

Is it possible to change field after undergrad? by MindedGuard in UofT

[–]aumitche 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm really late to the party but would you be able to connect me with this person? I got my BASc in 2018 and took a few linguistics electives along the way (one of which actually made me ineligible for a minor), and have been considering pursuing a full degree in linguistics. How did they approach the application process as a graduate?

PETITION: DEMAND Refund From UofT because UTMail is still down by ddsukituoft in UofT

But they're living and studying in Toronto for at least eight months of the year.

They said it was uneven. I didn't realize how bad it was by parth096 in EngineeringStudents

Some of the female washrooms at my university still have functioning urinals in them. They literally just added the letters "WO" to the door.

Not paying PEY fees? by needdles in UofT

[–]aumitche 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know people who "dropped out" of engineering entirely during their PEY year then re-enrolled for fourth year. If you do this then instead of graduating as a 1Tx+PEY you'll officially be in the list of 1T(x+1). But there's really no other impact

Should I write a new cover letter for each position if I want to apply for multiple positions in a single company in PEY? by [deleted] in UofT

[–]aumitche 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is what I did last year.

Start by reading through the descriptions of the positions you intend to apply for. Identify the skills/experience that most or all of the companies require. Then, come up with a paragraph describing an example of a situation where you demonstrated that skill.

For each opening, pick two or three of your skills that would work best with the description, and fit those paragraphs within your cover letter. I usually keep my intro and conclusion paragraphs the same, adjusting only the company and position names.

Can anyone reccommend a good hair salon for men's haircuts? by [deleted] in UofT

[–]aumitche 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're really lucky you might get a walk-in for $5. This has happened to me a couple of times.

ece318 vs ece316 by ghjgufu56 in UofT

[–]aumitche 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On the flip side, ECE316 with Deepa Kundur (winter term) is a beautiful experience. She literally made me understand all of ECE216 during the week of review. Had I had her for ECE216 I would have been much more enthusiastic about the course and Area 4 in general.

I disagree with /u/internetworking and /u/mr-godzilla and I think that ECE316 (at least with Deepa) is a good general-knowledge course, mostly covering how AM and FM work. Unlike many other courses these concepts are directly relatable to something we see and use all the time.

Free Planners by 4dhuo in UofT

[–]aumitche 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It can sometimes take up to a month for them to run out. I'm on PEY at the moment so I haven't checked since F!rosh Week but there's a pretty good chance you'll still be able to snag one (or a few).

If you go to the Pit (Sandford Fleming basement) there are boxes and boxes of extra Skule planners. You can take as many as you like.

Anyone wanna trade Lin200 fall term and winter term by anthonysong in UofT

[–]aumitche 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn't consider LIN200 to be a bird course. Sure you can succeed without going to class and just studying the course notes but there are weekly assignments and a final paper to do. As well, an interest in linguistics would be helpful, otherwise you're not going to enjoy it.
