It’s just that if I re-apply, they’ll treat me as a new student all over again (and as such they only allow admission into the first year). Their own courses don’t get any special treatment, aside from not requiring me to also send them syllabi for those.

This means failing in the 3rd year would be a disaster as I’d have to do the entire 3 years all over again. Or go to a different college. There’s basically one for people who failed the college I went to (many such cases).

Anyway, to sum it up:

• For students during the current study, anything above F is accepted, whether you were previously kicked out or not.
• From any previous studies, only A and B are accepted.

Your prior 1st school credits (below As and Bs) will still be at 1st school so you won’t have to worry about them being accepted as transfer credits because you’d not be transferring them in from outside as the those low grade credits are already inside.

That is what my post was about. The people at study department at 1st school told me they won’t accept grades below B, including what I already earned at 1st school. They just won’t count when I go there again, it’s treated the same as transfer.
In case of 2nd school, basically any other college would most likely accept any lower passing grades.

Any chance you have enough IT experience to get a junior role so you can at least be growing in your field while you’re out of school?

That would be no, unfortunately.

different courses

The point is, they won’t even accept the courses I already passed (which are all below B except for English), because this rule is just applied universally. So it would be easier to re-take what I had until now since I already know something.
In this case, idea 2 would probably make more sense since I also know the instructors tend to give out the same assignments between different years.

Unless you meant to attend an easier college with the required courses.
But also it is too late. The only colleges taking students at this time of year are ones that have to do 2nd rounds due to low numbers, which very much is nothing IT-related.

Anyway, bigger issue is I’d have to pay for 2 extra years (they also don’t allow admission into a higher year).

every other school your original school accepts transfer credits from

That one is also funny. There’s no official list. The only requirement is A/B grade. If that is met, I can send a request to have those results accepted along with the courses’ syllabi, and then I’ll see based on their response.

Eh, I guess RX-only drugs make sense if they work. After all, you’re basically taking them under doctor’s supervision.

I used to take some meds for ADHD when I was a kid, but whatever it was (I think Concerta), all it did was make me sleepy.
Fun fact: Some commonly used drugs (in US) like Adderall are actually illegal here around Europe.

Where I live, self checkout is usually behind a gate as well, where you have to scan your ticket for it to open.

When talking about unemployment, I think people focus on wrong aspect. Replacing people with machines is good, that’s why we make them. The problem is with how our society functions. Rather than less work for same pay, we get unemployment as a problem.

As for machines, I hate their weight checking. Sometimes it just needs me picking up the item and slamming it onto the bagging area. In the past, some of them used to show weight difference from expected weight, so I would be able to figure out what to shuffle around.
There’s also issues with permissions. For example, removing items or completely exiting shopping requires employee permission. What for?
Also, recently 2 shops decided to change the UI. In the past, you could type in number of items if you had multiple, especially useful for pastry. The new UI requires repeatedly pressing +/- buttons. Really nice when you have 15 of something.
Lastly, scanner cooldown. They seem to have a large cooldown. I just want to quickly scan the items, but no, gotta wait 2 seconds between each item.

The only places where it’s a bliss are supermarkets with systems like scan&shop. You take a portable scanner and scan everything as you put it into a cart, then just pay at the end in a few seconds.

I also make my weekly backups roughly every 3 months. Which reminds me I should do it… tomorrow.

Anyway, last time I lost some data it was when memory card I thought I had backed up died. I managed to gather most of the data from another memory card, 2 laptops, old HDD and a backup DVD as most of the files were scattered around other devices.

Everything from 9 months ago, including notifications from 9 months ago.

Maybe we had yearly backups?

Who downvoted you?

Anyway, if you have directory-based music organization, Navidrome won’t take that sadly. However, it will take m3u playlists.

So I can just ls playlistdir/* > Playlist.m3u and get that directory as a playlist. Simple, lazy solution.
Oh, you can also add internet radios to Navidrome.

And one cool trick, which is also pretty good to test out Navidrome without effort, in Termux it is already in the repos, so you can just effort-free apt install navidrome, run it and play around.
