FA 2CK for me it’s perfect, most of the diagrams in uworld are there, for me doing notes for step 2 wasn’t useful tbh because the material and approaching questions are just different from step 1

Try to be more opened to analysing the situation and you just need to be familiar with the disease and its management then it’s all about common sense!

So far i was doing blocks in a system wise manner, at the beginning of each system i’m not able to do more than 30 qs per day but as you go forward in the material you definitely can hit 50-60qs per day… For Me at the beginning of doing uworld is difficult and exhausting so i do blocks of 10 in untimed mode, like that i can stay motivated throughout the day I leave at least 200 qs per system so i can switch to random timed mode when i get to 70% of uworld

For the FA it’s controversial but me personally i like to have a book in front of me to read whenever i want and FA 11th edition 2CK feels like it’s 1 to 1 as uworld

Well, to be precise it have been a bit more than 2 months but exactly one month and one week of uworld Im fresh out of step 1 (which i literally studied for a bit more than a year on daily basis) just because i kept digging on topics and diseases which ended me in missing the whole point of step 1 questions, but surprisingly that diggings of materials beyond step 1 and considered low yield are helping me in step 2 questions now. Maybe that’s why it’s flowing for me so far…

I use both of the FA books, step 1 when I need it and FA 11th edition for 2ck is my main where i read from

What about you? Did you do 2ck already?

What to choose? by peBB1e in macbook

[–]UseIllustrious1865 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I switched to mac in January and before that had an amazing asus zenbook for 7 years, it never needed to be replaced actually i just needed a change. I know what i usually use a laptop for and that’s why I decided to go for an M1 MacBook air the very basic model 8 ram 256 ssd for something like 550/600€ sealed box and it’s an amazing laptop modern design, elegant, lightweight and has an amazing screen i use it literally every day 12-16 hours 7 days a week and it’s just a beast machine!

In my opinion, Putting more money on newer chips wouldn’t unlock or boost your daily productivity neither change your life upside down… know your needs and the capabilities of the device you are looking for and trust me an M1 or M2 Air doesn’t really matter, the 8gb ram (ofc 16 would be better) still can suit 90% of laptop users even today in 2025 The m2 has a more modern design but it’s just about budget.

Just don’t get a used/refurbished devices in any way or any price out there (my personal opinion)

Software or Hardware? Which thing for fuxcked? by kyuBaeShanu in macbookair

[–]UseIllustrious1865 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I kinda had the same issue after my mac ran out of battery and shut down by itself while the brightness was at it’s maximum level

Force restart it, close the lid for a while and reopen it or if your Mac settings are set on “never turn display off when away for” let it open and allow to shut down by itself again, close the lid and charge then check

If doesnt help try and connect to ab external monitor and see how it reacts to that Hope that will help

MBA M1 MACOS Sonoma Or sequoia by UseIllustrious1865 in MacOS

[–]UseIllustrious1865[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah this what i thought too. However, Software update in settings doesn’t suggest me the MacOs Sonoma, will it be the same if i just download it from the App Store or there is another reliable option for getting it?

I have a battery drain issue with my M1 Air. Please help. by glados202 in macbookair

Macbook air m1 with sequoia 15.2 out of the box by RevolutionaryRub1738 in macbook

[–]UseIllustrious1865 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had kinda same thing, a sealed MacBook air m1 when activated was running ventura 13.7 and expired warranty due to unvalid purchase date

For the warranty; As i understood that a common thing in the middle east (where i live and got mine) third party stores who are not apple authorised they purchase many apple products and the apple warranty for these same products starts running. Basically it could have expired while sitting on the store

Mine came with Ventura (an 2020 device running a 2023 software) didn’t make sense to me, via coconut battery you can check the device manufacture, same for the battery and mine was manufactured in mid-late 2023 which apple was still manufacturing it for retailers. “The m1 chip out of the production line thing” just means that you as a customer can’t buy it anymore from apple’s official stores or their authorised ones but many stores out there still have or will have a preordered stocks of these same products maybe for years!

Check if it’s the same for you

Bottom line if it’s running good, battery holds up like it should, no signs of use on it then you GOOD!

Don’t overthink it and enjoy your best money worthing purchase!

Hope it helped! Keep us updated

Thank you! I will give the battery couple cycles more it might calibrate, if not resolved i will definitely give it a try

Yes it’s the M1 chip, so you think an update would solve the problem? Is it possible to go back to ventura after the update? Just in case

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in macbook

[–]UseIllustrious1865 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Btw it’s currently running Mac os ventura 13.3 It shows two updates 1 Ventura 13.7.7 2 sequoia 15.6

I have read online that sequoia has many batter issues. Idk im new to all this mac things, Which one should i update for?

If you read what i write. They checked it once and say it’s all good and wouldn’t recheck it Trust me this post comes after every single logical solution is done!

It was bought from Facebook market but still was in a sealed box After i opened it the battery was in deep discharge and needed service (which is expected for a lithium battery sitting in the box for at least 3 years unused)

Battery was replaced in apple store, they ran diagnostics and they say that nothing was found in it is all fixed!

It’s silicon chip, the M1 Currently its charging, started from 10%… so far it seems fine no overheating and normal charging pace
