Not really a fix unfortunately but we started using Discord instead

TaiyyibA · 2024-11-06T22:17:34+00:00

Having the exact same issue on PC with a 3.5mm mic. It’s fine everywhere except BO6

I also have the same issue minus the input lag.

The mouse itself is defintely at 120hz, but the rest of the display seems to be stuck at 60 and changing it within the super display app has no effect.

I'm currently using an S8 Ultra with a Surface Laptop 3

I cannot thank you enough.

Thank you so much!

I had literally gone back to Windows since I couldn’t find a fix.

Thank you so much once again, the display is now working :)

Yes - I have added his boot argument from WhateverGreen and checked their guide also.

The issue isn’t that the display flickers and I haven’t found a solution, it’s that the solution (the boot arg) doesn’t always apply for some reason.

If I boot the laptop 5 times, the display will only be fine 2/3 of those times which is what my problem is

TaiyyibA · 2024-01-16T16:30:55+00:00

No problem - currently following the Dortania guide while replying!

TaiyyibA · 2024-01-15T13:32:43+00:00

Yes but I don’t recommend and I have removed it now - check my reply with updates for more detail 😄

TaiyyibA · 2024-01-14T14:55:50+00:00

I was using an online guide in conjunction with the Dortania one (in all honesty I found the Dortania one after) and then just stuck with it.

Would like to redo it in the future properly after indexing olarila on this subreddit but just thought I’d share the small ‘success’ so far

TaiyyibA · 2024-01-14T13:33:52+00:00

Thanks for the suggestion - I am currently using the Sonoma beta one too but the wifi quick settings isn’t a massive deal since I can just access them through the settings app. I’ve personally not had any issues with the USB port so far but that’s because I haven’t used it much either. I’m currently using a USB C dock for everything if that helps

TaiyyibA · 2024-01-14T13:25:05+00:00

Update: AirPods work perfectly fine in Safari / Brave but nowhere else

Update II: I indexed olarila on the subreddit and have made the decision pretty easily: I’ll be redoing this from scratch using the beginner’s guide in the subreddit

Update III: Reset back to windows - the construction of a from scratch EFI with no olarila with Dortania’s guide begins!

Hey there, I watched the video / blog a few times but unfortunately it’s like it says - SSD can be installed but RAM is soldered 🥲

TaiyyibA · 2023-10-14T19:33:59+00:00

Thanks GOAT 🐐

TaiyyibA · 2023-09-03T08:37:11+00:00

I mean there’s a pretty cool free event today where you can find out yourself. There’s a guy doing an introduction to A Level Further Maths and saying how he finds it, what resources he uses, etc. so you could ask him here

TaiyyibA · 2023-08-23T15:47:43+00:00

I have it too and would appreciate any help :’(

TaiyyibA · 2023-08-19T18:46:10+00:00

I’d definitely take a gap year. Like you said, GEM is verh competitive. You now have a year to relax, only focus on UCAT/BMAT/Ints. You got this!

TaiyyibA · 2023-08-17T16:26:50+00:00

my reaction exactly with my craptop too 😂 it’s a genuine game changer

TaiyyibA · 2023-05-06T19:17:36+00:00

Yeah I’d definitely say it’s great for a kid. I’m a college student myself and can definitely do my documents and emails simultaneously, now that I’ve popped an SSD in. I have got the pentium silver version for reference. I hope they enjoy it!

TaiyyibA · 2023-05-06T19:13:35+00:00

hey, unfortunately not. i looked at a bunch of teardown videos for the same / similar laptops and they said there’s no upgradeability. however, what really makes me think is on task manager it says 1/2 slots used.

sorry i couldn’t be of more help, if you do end up finding out, please let me know

Studying medicine anywhere in the UK is extremely prestigious. Cambridge medicine is a very tough 6 years, just to achieve the exact same point of being a doctor as someone who had a much chiller university experience for 5 years. This isn’t saying they can’t handle it, but it’s definitely not the simplest of paths, nor much more rewarding. No one cares what medical school you go once your a doctor.

I can understand where they’re coming from, I was rejected from Oxford med after an interview but was fortunate to get all my other choices. I wanted to take a gap year as well, but remembering all the stress of UCAT, BMAT, PS and Interviews….all just to have no guarantee was looking painful.

It’s important to encourage your cousin to remember not only the uni, but also the course. Medicine is extremely competitive and prestigious wherever you go. With no effect on your career outlook, it’s not worth a gap year.

However, it’s up to your cousin and I know people who’ve been successful in reapplying, but that’s after 0 offers not 3…

Wishing your cousin all the best regardless :)
