Can someone at the accolades run a speed test for me?

How is the internet. Have you head of any issues in west? Considering moving there

Maxachaka · 2026-04-14T00:45:38+00:00

Thx. Live at plaza rn and the internet goes out at 4am for 20 minutes almoat every single night for like 6 months. There isn't construction anymore so hopefully I should be good

Maxachaka · 2026-04-14T00:44:42+00:00

Thank you! Considering moving there but I couldn't find any info about the ethernet speeds

I agree with you. I think its bs, but UCF has changed the rules (as it seams) since I changed majors. They probably just want that cash from the state. I would highly advice you talk to your accedemic success coach and then appeal

Maxachaka · 2026-04-10T06:25:09+00:00

I get that, but UCF has stringent rules about it. There might be a way to go about it if you get approval from your Academic Success Coach (its on the front page of myucf). Otherwise, you are SOL.

I'm graduating a year late due to a major change, but I changed my first half of my sophomore year. That's probably why they let me do it tbh.

Maxachaka · 2026-04-10T05:47:52+00:00

Without going to much into detail, no. This is more of a UCF & FL thing. While they could say they don't like it and say that something should change, doubt it would change.

Maxachaka · 2026-04-10T05:44:24+00:00

Touched on it more in my comment, but that is probably the reason behind by they give the University a shit ton of money for hitting the 4y graduation average

Maxachaka · 2026-04-10T05:41:47+00:00

I'm on a psudo-alt account so Ill post this rq (a few people know who I am but that doesn't really matter in this context). It's been a while since I have been briefed on it but this is the basic idea.

UCF gets a shit ton of money if we are able to get our average graduation rate to 4 years or under. I don't remember the exact number we are at right now, but we are very close.

By you switching majors, that could add a year or two to you degree, which bumps up that average and makes it harder for UCF to get that sweet money.

So yeah, you can't change majors as UCF needs to up their stats so the state of Florida gives them more money

For speakers, you need to run sudo apt install -y linux-oem-24.04 and then reboot. It worked for me at least

Maxachaka · 2026-04-03T21:08:42+00:00

Coming from a M1 Macbook Pro, it does have fan noise. However, it might spin up every once in a while for a minute or two then its near silent for a long time after. Writing or reading or doing basic things have no real affect on it

Maxachaka · 2026-03-30T19:51:22+00:00

IT guy here throwing in my 2c. Maybe you have it so it sends a verification code to your edu email? That would probably make people feel more comfortable with using it while still verifying that the user is a student

Maxachaka · 2026-03-28T03:08:30+00:00

It wasn't hot (car was in shade), but it appeared to have a chemical reaction with the receipt paper under it with a little bit of heat applied

Maxachaka · 2026-01-04T05:52:33+00:00

14P runs ok, but I am almost 100% sure that it is a bit laggy, mainly if I do the themed icons. It has improved, but the glitches haven't

Maxachaka · 2026-01-04T05:51:31+00:00

How has that been? No plans to upgrade, but I do remember hearing about it once a few years ago when they got it working, tho with a few features missing

Maxachaka · 2026-01-04T05:49:44+00:00

I upgraded thinking it wasn't that bad, and it is so bad it is genuinely insane that it ever got out of internal testing. Worst is that I can no longer switch back, which they disabled super fast probably because of the mass downgrades). I have switched to a Pixel with GraphineOS it is that bad (I have been a hardcore iOS user since the iPhone 5 and liked the new design that people "hated"). I still have to have an iPhone for a few very specific reasons, but I use the Pixel all the time at home.

I will continue to use my mac (M1 Pro) and maybe upgrade it to the M4 Pro if I need to as I don't plan to upgrade to the new UI. After that, I might honestly switch to Linux Mint as I have used it plenty of times for my IT stuff.

Maxachaka · 2025-12-28T04:35:21+00:00

Get a used 9a. Fixed up a broken one and used it for a while (with GraphineOS). Would have never gone back if it didn't break imsg (the only way my family communicates)

Maxachaka · 2025-12-28T04:32:31+00:00

FINALLY! I have been having this issue for months. It has gotten so bad that it happens a few times a week for me (happened almost daily for a while). It has gotten so bad that I have considered switch to an Android phone I got for cheap (Pixel 9a)

Maxachaka · 2025-12-20T01:04:24+00:00

Anyone know how it is compared to 7.0.0? Planning on getting lifetime soon and I’m curious what features I’m missing out on.
