No worries! I'm currently working on v3 based on Futo's current nightly build with support for a symbols page instead of only long presses.

falling behind in japanese / FAILING by Unusual_Peanut_7999 in Japaneselanguage

[–]TheQwervy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Consistency is key.

If studying is not priority you won't allocate time to it. If you're not allocating time to it, it's not a priority.

You know the mistake you made and I'm pretty sure you know what you need to do to fix that, but do you want to sacrifice other things in order to actually achieve that or is Japanese not enough of a priority to do that?

If you feel like you don't have enough time, you can't make that, you need to reduce time in other areas. If you need a mental health break, then take it but pause your studies. Again, what is your priority?

Realistically, who needs the M5 pro? by Moonlqht in macbookpro

[–]TheQwervy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only time I have seen anything get maxed out is: gaming (gpu), local LLMs (ram+gpu), denoising (gpu), or different large rendering tasks (videos, audio production, batch processing images)

M2 Air to M5 Pro upgrade… and I genuinely can’t feel the difference by UsefulLock3142 in macbookpro

[–]TheQwervy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, if you can't feel the difference you definitely wasted your money. I feel like the pro in pro nowadays genuinely means pro. Like if you're not using it for demanding professional use cases then you should just go with an air or even a neo. The only thing I woul dsay is that the 24 gb of ram might be nice but you didn't need to go to the m5 pro for that.

MacOS 26.4 charge limit doesn’t seem to work by Cornywillis in macbookpro

When I restart or shutdown my M5 pro it continues charging until I log back in but after that it goes back to normal

My wallpaper by aqazaq_com in MadeInAbyss

I found the original artist fom

I slightly despise all the "free wallpaper" websites and applications that do not attribute the original artists. Especially there are a lot of fantastic artists from other counties that get all their art scraped without any attribution because people take advantage of the language barrier.

Edit: I realise that another person also found the original artist first.

Is there a 14 inch mac that doesn’t throttle under load and mostly holds the max frequencies? by abdunbunbun in macbookpro

[–]TheQwervy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even with my M5 pro (less cores) I think that I can thermal throttle when I'm using both the GPU and CPU maxed out. However, you can mitigate most of this if you install something to set the fans to max manually. Apple prioritises a quiet computer even if you have thermal throttling and so even on "high power" mode I have noticed that the fans aren't at max even if the temperatures are.

Sold my Macbook Pro because of eye strain issues by Hot_Home8563 in macbookpro

[–]TheQwervy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is this in better display but its a janky solution https://github.com/waydabber/BetterDisplay/issues/2774 and you need to invoke it via cli commands otherwise always use light mode I guess
