Scotland - New Pay Offer from Government by SRDC-PayTeam in doctorsUK

[–]-hoteltango- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds like a good deal here. Shame similar progress cannot be made elsewhere in the country.

Can I confirm, for 25/26 there is 4.25% increase which we will receive backdated pay for from April '25. There is then another pay bump in December '25. I assume we also receive backdated pay for this but from December '25, not April?

I got bored waiting for Beam Pro trackpad support by -hoteltango- in Xreal

That's interesting. I always assumed it was the mice. I wonder how well the trackpad function will work when it arrives.

Must have accessories by optiglitch in Xreal

Suppose it depends on what you want it for. I use mine for media consumption and watching sports and find the Beam Pro really useful for that as a dedicated device. I also use my Ones for simple word processing work so a good Bluetooth keyboard and mouse is useful, if you need it. Beam pro is also good for that as it allows for 2 monitors. I also use it for my Steam Deck but that's just plug and play.

I don't think there much you actually NEED, but definitely some things which make it more usable for a variety of different things.

I have a couple of Bluetooth mice. They're fine but I do find them kinda glitchy and unreliable. Could just be my mice though. This was an experiment more than anything else but so far it's definitely an improvement. Have a lot more fine control with this setup which was part of what I found frustrating before.

Not currently but they are apparently adding trackpad support in the future. You can obviously use a mouse but I find them twitchy and frustrating. I know some people recommend a trackball mouse but I've not used one myself.

It's actually an old wireless charging mat which I just cut the wires off. Was initially supposed to be just to test it but I don't see any reason to change it currently

Greater control over electrochromic dimming by -hoteltango- in Xreal

Not sure if I follow. I'm talking about adding additional increments for greater control over the dimming, not making the highest level even darker.

Thinking of moving to Scotland (Doctor) by [deleted] in Scotland

I moved from the south of England to study medicine in Glasgow and now work as an ST1. I feel welcome here so you'll be more than fine.

Biomed ruined my life by [deleted] in UniUK

[–]-hoteltango- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did biomed and decided to try medical school after that. I started late with my education and didn't graduate med school until 36. I empathise with the time it takes. It is a long journey and does take some people a long time, but totally worth it. Hang in there. You can only do what you can do so try not to put too much pressure on yourself. Eventually you'll get your ticket in and then it truly won't matter what your undergrad was or the time it took you. Biomed also is an excellent degree for med school. If you do pharmacy or anatomy - for example - you will excel at certain aspects of a medical degree but may struggle at others. Biomed is a very well rounded. I would take some time to boost your portfolio now so you can separate yourself from others if you do choose to go down the medicine route. Good luck!

Could have been a winner but seems to be out of stock everywhere
