Borrowing a laptop the day before the exam

Hey guys, I have a laptop based exam at 9 am on thursday this week, and i gotta borrow a laptop for it as mine doesnt support lockdown browser. However, from what ive seen, im not sure when scitech / fishcer vending machines open, if htey are that early, and what process i need to follow? and if i borrow one the day before, that's past the 12 hour limit. anyone who has borrowed one for an exam, please tell me how you did it?

I've been using AI to cheat my way through my degree and I want to stop. Need advice

basically, for the last couple of years Ive used AI to get through assignments, technical interviews, and it resulted (for example) in a competition that got me disqualified once. I got mostly good marks and recognition but none of it actually felt earned, and the worst part is I think I lost the ability to sit with a hard problem and not know the answer for a while, and the ability to struggle for subjects i used to love. I used to genuinely love learning. I still feel that love show up a few days before exams when I finally lock in so I know its still in there somewhere

I realised the issue isnt really about AI but its sort of that I started avoiding the discomfort that learning brought, and AI made that avoidance super easy. I dont want to be the person who fakes a version of themself anymore. I want to be honest and actually earn what I get, even if that means lower marks while I rebuild into something im proud of

if anyone has been here or in a similar situation: how did you retrain yourself to struggle through problems again instead of reaching for the shortcut, or anything that actually stuck?

Hey guys, I currently do a Bachelor of Advanced computing, and am in Year 2 semester 1 right now. I do a double major of data science and computer science, and after careful consideration, I want to switch computer science to neuroscience. Here are the units ive already passed

INFO1910, ELEC1601, INFO1111, DATA1901, MATH1061, MATH1064, INFO1113, INFO1112

Current units: DATA2901, COMP2823, COMP2017, INFO2222

I realise to successfully complete both major requirements, and my dalyell requirements, and my advanced computing requirements, its tight but doable. so heres what ive mapped out:

Just a couple of questions:
Am i missing any units?

Is taking the 4 info units in sem2 y4 ok since they are all co requisites (and can i still get my honours then)?

Is this a feasable degree plan? (i dont plan to have any electives, but workload wise)?

and is there a potentially better ordering?

Ty so much for the help, appreciate it a lot
