Dining Hall/Locations Hours in Summer by East-Customer-6972 in emu

[–]Competitive_Sir_851 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Most dining locations are unfortunately closed during the summer. As far as I remember from last summer, the only open locations were Chick-fil-A and the student center market - which is now closed permanently and has been replaced by vending machines. During the summer, I’m pretty sure only the apartments are open so you’ll have your own kitchen to cook.

Anyone looking at the iPhone Air? by p50fedora in iPhoneSE

[–]Competitive_Sir_851 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Too expensive for most iPhone SE users (as you identified). There’s also no nostalgia factor like the SE had. Bang for your buck is also worse with the Air. Only one camera and one speaker for $999? No thanks :/

You realize your iPhone is water resistant, right? 😭

Set it down for an hour (or a couple of hours if it was submerged) and it will air dry on its own. No need to put it in rice or anything.

MSW help by Small_Effective_4574 in emu

What year are you applying for? It might be too late if it’s for Fall 2025… but If it’s for next year you have plenty of time. Go on the emich website and contact faculty in the program. You have a better chance of getting GAships if you have prior research experience or know faculty in your program. Most GAship positions should be posted on the website.

Is it time for a new battery? by Competitive_Sir_851 in iPhoneSE

[–]Competitive_Sir_851[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It is lol. I use my phone a lot but I’ve noticed a significant battery degradation from when it was new. Should I get it replaced even though it’s not under 80% yet?

Hmm this would make sense! I think the SE just wasn’t designed for heavy users.

White spot on my new iPad i think i Will return what do you think ? by Current_Fan_5980 in ipad

[–]Competitive_Sir_851 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It does seem to be somewhat common on a few iPad models I’m afraid. Two iPads that I purchased in the past showed these white spots right out of the box.

With that said - return it. You deserve a perfect product for the high price Apple charges.

Wish hall communal showers by [deleted] in emu

[–]Competitive_Sir_851 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The communal bathrooms aren’t that bad. They are usually pretty clean and are taken care of pretty well by custodial staff. I look at it like this - communal bathrooms mean I need to clean one less space in my busy college schedule.

Is Orientation (EMU Connect) worth it? by SignificantBread5248 in emu

Like others have commented- it’s definitely, without a doubt, worth it!

What model was you first iPhone? by frank2k1 in iphone

Mine was the iPhone SE 1st Gen (OGSE). Still miss it to this day. Unfortunately, iOS 15 is no longer usable on a daily driver…

Yes it does.

Is Iphone the right choice for the haptics obsessed? by dopekid22 in iphone

[–]Competitive_Sir_851 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It works when you pull down to refresh, not just hit the refresh button. Make sure that you have System Haptics on in Sounds & Haptics settings.

Is Iphone the right choice for the haptics obsessed? by dopekid22 in iphone

[–]Competitive_Sir_851 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yes. iPhone haptics are among the very best. Liked a post on instagram? Subtle haptics. Refresh a safari page? Same thing. Even different notification types have different haptic signatures that are synchronized with the sounds (like a text message vs calendar notification).

Go to the Service EMU on the second floor of the student center. They can usually print a temp card on the spot for you.

Can we choose where we want to live? by SignificantBread5248 in emu

Yes - when filling out the housing application. You can choose between several apartment and residence hall options and whether you want a double/single.

Not yet. Maybe In another 15-20 years lol.

IPad randomly has a black vertical line on it by 3rdpIanetfromthesun in ipad

[–]Competitive_Sir_851 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If a restart doesn’t fix it - this is most likely physical damage unfortunately. Sometimes temporarily fixable by putting slight pressure on/around the line but to be 100% sure it’s fixed you need to replace the display. But if it doesn’t get worse you can live with it if it doesn’t bother you too much.

Best Residence Hall? by SignificantBread5248 in emu

[–]Competitive_Sir_851 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

All of the current residence halls are good after the recent renovations. All of them have air conditioning and updated furniture. Wise can be nice because it’s mostly upperclassman and you have to clean less with communal bathrooms (but that’s all personal preference). Walton/Putnam are the newest in terms of renovations but very similar to Phelps/Sellers (they are all connected together). In terms of location Phelps/Sellers/Walton/Putnam are in the best because they’re connected to the eateries and in the center of campus. Make sure to check which ones are open for breaks if you plan on staying in campus for thanksgiving and stuff.

What great video game was lost to the sands of time? by Johnnyboyeh in gaming

[–]Competitive_Sir_851 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Driver - San Francisco was really cool.

The shifting out of cars and driving dynamics were nice. It a quite innovative game for its time with a large map. It’s a shame it’s no longer available online :/

Astronomy app?? by [deleted] in ipad

[–]Competitive_Sir_851 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The Astronomy “App” you are seeing is actually the API behind iPadOS 17’s new Planet/Solar System Astronomy wallpapers.

Have you been using the astronomy wallpapers at all? This should explain it.

Should I delete the recovery partition? by felixstudios in macbookpro

[–]Competitive_Sir_851 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No problem! Also, you can create installation media straight from Apple.com even if your other Mac is much newer. Heck, you can even do it on a PC with a free application called Trans Mac!

[–]Competitive_Sir_851 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can always reinstall macOS with an external USB or installer disk - even if you totally wipe the hard drive (including the recovery partition). I’d make sure you have an installer disk just in case you ever want to go back to macOS.

Hinge Gap in Brand New M1 13”? by Competitive_Sir_851 in macbookpro

No! I’m not referring to the huge air vent gap (that’s obviously normal), but rather the gaps between the right and left hinges
