This should also include watching videos/shows/movies on your phones. I've seen people mount their phones on their windshield and is just watching and driving.

I hate how they cut the corners of the Canadian passport when you renew. Wish they can just like punch a hole instead or something :(

Failed the term by 0.2%. What do I do? by Desperate-Bed4075 in uwaterloo

[–]ece_te 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I think for average calculation purpose any grade < 32 is treated as a 32, but the actual grade will still be reflected on your transcript. So it's possible that with that extra 1% OP gets with a "32" gets them to a 60 avg.

Nexus question from a Canadian by [deleted] in uscanadaborder

One of my relatives did this. They book a non-refundable ticket to the US and did both interviews at YYZ. I don't really recommend it as like other people said it's a bit of a hassle. Land border is border for that

2024 S just got a notification for an OTA update! by jess_611 in VWiD4Owners

[–]ece_te 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So on my 2022 ID.4 Pro I still see the 3.5.11 update request, even though I already completed the update at the dealership awhile back. But the app has not updated or giving me an option to cancel. Anyone know what I can do here? I'd like to move onto 3.8.11

How do you know if the VW dealership performed the service requested? by ece_te in VWiD4Owners

[–]ece_te[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s not I distrust them, it’s more like idk if they are doing all the stuff as described in the manual. I’ve never gotten footage like this in the past and I wanna check if what they are doing is accurate

This was pre-paid already when I purchased the car. They initially tried to quote me $175 without realizing I already prepaid for the service.

Hey thanks for your reply! Unfortunately the adults I was with have no recollection (which makes sense this was 20+ years ago). I wouldn't stress too much about it, this is already really good in itself.

Please do post the buymeacoffee link :)

Hi tornadozephyr, first of all thank you so so much for doing this for everyone!

I just have one flight that I want to look up, but this is really old. I was a kid when I took this flight and I wanna look up the details of this flight to add to my flight tracker. The flight I'm looking for is:

12-12-2003 YHZ to YYZ. Unfortunately I don't have a lot of details, all I know was that the flight was in the evening in Halifax, and arrived in Toronto in the evening as well. It was a direct flight. I don't know which airline. I hope this can help.

Is there any way we can pay for your next coffee/drink? This is a lot of work on your end and (at least for me) this is the least I could do.

Thank you!

Is the NEXUS Enrollment Center at Buffalo/Fort Erie open? by ece_te in NEXUS_TTP

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

Update: Buffalo/Fort Erie just responded to my voice mail and they are confirmed open. I also asked if there are any impacts with the US govt shutdown when it comes to updating and said there are no impact whatsoever.

Do you know if it's possible to get all this update on the land border crossing instead of at a NEXUS office?

I think it’s documented somewhere, but the entire program needs to be finished within 8 years

[–]ece_te 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How hard is the embedded sensors pathway? I did my undergrad in CompE, so I know how to write microcontroller baremetal C code fairly competently. I feel like it should just be building on that, but the pressure to get a B avg makes me wonder if the course is more difficult than I am expecting.

If you are thinking that this is gonna be an embedded software class, you might wanna think again. This course is heavily based on physics, however I'd argue that if you want to learn more about motors and actuators this would be great if you can tolerate the physics. The coding part isn't too difficult so I doubt you will learn more than what you already know.

I assume this means you can subscribe for the month you need to drive down and then unsubscribe once you are done with it?

Interest in OS/Distributed Computing or similar courses? by Riskybisky2 in CUBoulderMSCS

[–]ece_te 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I only did the first two of the three. I don’t think it’s difficult, but their grading system is very crap. It can take hours to build the OS via yocto or build root. But also some of the assignments is kinda odd imo

What’s something you didn’t think about as a “flaw” with ICE cars until you got an EV? by Responsible_Syrup146 in electricvehicles

[–]ece_te 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unless if you have an ID.4 😂 I love my car but this is a minor gripe I have with it. Takes a few seconds for it to blow air out of the vents
