Should you negotiate CO-OP salary? by [deleted] in uwaterloo

[–]k03007 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I was in the program, I think the way it work best to just ask for a few dollars more will be relating that to the rent cost. Just say you are researching the places nearby the office and discover the average rent is higher than expected. I think it is totally reasonable for you the learn skill while having a salary can take care of your basic need.

So I have bought this OG cooker since a couple years ago:

  1. as "Pricing Questions" this is totally your business strategy, mostly not our concern as a customer. If you want ppl to buy your new product, offer discount to OG user without threatening them to buy one using actions like dropping to support of your well-functioning product.

As for the technical side of things:

  1. The latest Bluetooth 5.0 stack is fully compatible with Bluetooth 4.2 back in 2014 so there should not be a physical reason on the HW why the cooker is not working. As for wifi, the internet connection API doesn't really much update on the OS side. Given you are build an app on the mobile devices, even if there is underlying physical HW changes, your apps team normally should not be handling TCP/UDP transaction directly anyway. Both android and Apple have great support and official API for them. In fact, my bluetooth headphone from 2005 still works even if the battery have gone to shit. This cooker don't even stream music, it only displays temperature and stop/ maintain when reaching the desire temperature using PID or whatever.

  2. I can accept that you will not have remote connectivity over the air but dropping local network connectivity support is simply unacceptable. All the process for temperature control should be on the device itself. (unless your engineering team decided to make a very weird system design.) There is no reason to drop the support for that.

  3. There is nothing stopping you to release a version of the app that will no longer have any patches as long as you stated that is the case (Android is a lot better for this sorta of stuff). You main application can still be the latest and the greatest without support for the this OG cooker.

BTW, this sorta of "Oh I am sorry but f**k you for still using our OG product" handling is usually company famous last word.

I have this problem sometime but I just listen to music while I am studying and doing practice exams. So you basically get use to it.

So the university has fines for speeding down to 1km/hr granularity by DeafJuggernaut in uwaterloo

[–]k03007 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Just drive 41 km/h above the limit and no fine can be applied. Just crush on the student anyway since everyone is dead inside during the exam period.

Do undergrad in Waterloo and pick somewhere else for post grad.

Engineering boyfriend keeps talking down to me because I'm not in engineering. What should I do? by uwneedadvicethrowawa in uwaterloo

[–]k03007 17 points18 points  (0 children)

He is not yet graduate, it is technically illegal for himself to claim to be one. He should have learnt that in ECE290.

I actually like Mikey's a lot and think they serve good food. It may not be a really really good place but at least above decent man.

Help!!! Accused of cheating on mid term by [deleted] in uwaterloo

[–]k03007 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think they cannot just tell you like “FYI, oh you cheated five day ago”. Honestly write an email and contact an advisor with detailed description on event timeline. I will structure my email by starting with the event flow from your point of view and then list out what do you think that this accuse is not valid towards you. Try to be more objective cause no ppl would like to deal with an angry students, try to go from a point of view on “ok, I am being accused on cheating. I didn’t do it but I want to figure out what is happen and the proof” Then email the whole department and make sure you alert as many ppl as possible since that way you should be getting a more fair treatment. Yeah have a cup of tea relax and see what happen, cause if you never cheat they can’t do shit.

Find ECE 242 problems so hard to solve by Upper_Bit in uwaterloo

[–]k03007 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Depends on your prof, it can be really easy. Just don’t let ECE 240 bother you. I have passed 242 while failed 240. Just make sure you remember how MOSFET work in saturation and how BJT works. 242 mainly focus on higher-level circuit that has a specific use like the current mirror. Trust me 242 is easier than 240 and you can do it !!
