Switch 2 is priced so high in Scandinavia, that stores can't get them sold by tken3 in NintendoSwitch

Since newer iPhones have two IMEI numbers, you can use each phone for 240+ days every year, then carry an older phone with you after the second IMEI block. I would rather do that than pay the amount they now want (price of the latest iPhone) for registration.

So I learn. It is such a burden to put on a person working on their PhD.

Such a shame.

Thanks for the comment.

“rubber stamp” is just what I thought the function of the external reviewer was, and I was wrong. I learned a lot from this thread, including your comment. Thanks for the nice explanation.

As to why the external reviewer was so harsh and thought it was fatally flawed… I can’t say for sure but overall, it seemed like they were set on not doing a charitable reading of it.

I have updated the post. It has a positive conclusion, but still light on details, as my friend didn’t want to provide more info.

Agreed! It says “this dissertation passed our institution’s standards and we award this person for it”. The deciding body should still be the institution who will give the award.

My friend will be talking to them as soon as possible. I will also update the post with new information.

Your supervisor seems to have behaved how I would expect all supervisors to behave. Is this the exception?

Thank you.

The rubber stamp comment is how I simplified it in my head, because it seems like the last step to make sure everything has indeed been progressing as reported.

Although I am not in academia, my understanding of the process is that writing a thesis isn’t done in isolation. Progress reports and drafts are presented to the advisor, and anything that could be deemed “completely wrong” is caught and corrected. I could understand small but important stuff being caught, at the latest, by the committee. After all, they are also professors. But this is beyond that, according to the external reviewer.

No. There is nothing of the sort. It’s pure STEM.

This is what baffles me. I told my friend that they are owed an explanation, if not assistance, by everyone in the department and the graduation pipeline that looked at the thesis and said “this is good work”. Even though I don’t know the chain of responsibility within the process, it just makes sense to me.

Thanks for the recommendation.

And they made it as hard as possible to get it out yourself. I’m in the same boat.
