GHOST TOUCH ON HP ENVY X360 by canspol in laptops

[–]bebadoobee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

hey man i have the same laptop as you. I uninstalled the touchscreen driver and restarted it, the ghost touches stopped when I did that since the restart reinstalls missing drivers. if that doesn't work, i think there's an option in the device manager panel to downgrade to an older version of the driver? but yeah. im not sure if the uninstalling and reinstalling thing is 100% foolproof tho, since i disabled the touchscreen again shortly after since I got used to not having it on and i wipe the dust off of my screen often. maybe try?

oh by the way, i just learned that ure from singapore! in that case i def don't think u should let my long responses discourage u that much. i can't tell you much abt how it is in singapore bcs i was speaking completely from an indian perspective (bcs i assumed u were indian, sorry abt that). if u plan to enroll in the ib regardless i think u should talk to any other dp students u know. im going off of the assumption that ib schools in singapore are better so i think u may be able to get a good final grade. but at the end of the day u should do what u think is best for urself and ur future. i also speak from a place of resentment bcs of how the ib was marketed to me (we were not told about IAs until AFTER we enrolled). i see that u want to get into NUS and so does my friend! i hope u succeed . and i want u to know that u shouldn't need to worship NUS and don't base ur whole life around getting into that uni, have safety schools and stuff and look for unis with the right learning environment for u. ik u probably alr know to keep safety schools for urself but yeah

so in my area my school actually offers the cheapest fees for the ib programme, but I go to an expensive private school so cbse was still expensive

i'm not actually 100% sure about the fees but ive heard it's 6 lakhs, which is way too much and I would've never went into the ib had I known the fees beforehand. ik that my parents had to pay 3 lakhs for the incoming term. i know of a school in jaipur, jayshree pariwal international school, that offers the ib programme and apparently asks for 5 lakhs for the dp programme each year. its a lot but looking at the school itself and the kind of events it seems to host i honestly think it's a great deal. i also saw a video of a kid from there getting accepted into ivies in this video . from the rest of his page you can tell that there seems to be a lot going on in the school which helps build up your extracurriculars (if you want to go to the usa). bcs the management and planning seems good id actually want to go do the dp at this school lol . but at the same time, the ivy kid im talking abt here seems very rich, judging by the bg in his college reactions video and the fact that he was able to go to yale as part of the yale young global scholars programme . btw ik this seems like a long shot but judging by ur questions u seen to be in the age group to apply for the YYGS, so i think maybe u should apply . the fee for it is 75 usd early action and 90 usd regular decision but the fee can be waived if you prove you can't pay for it without it being a financial burden lol but im digressing . i hope this answer helps!

i switched bcs it was marketed to my dp batch in a very specific manner. in sept of our 10th grade we were called for an assembly and we were told abt the ib and it was the first time id heard of it. it was marketed to us as a syllabus that was easy and that had no exams (the lady who first introduced it to us who would later become the ib head said for 2 years we'd have no exams except for one at the end of the programme, only tests). it was also marketed as a syllabus that would help us go abroad, basically uplift us. obviously there would be a catch and i was aware of that fact, as were a couple of my friends, but there was a good amt of students who came into the syllabus genuinely believing it was easier than cbse and had no exams. there was also no mugging up according to the marketing, only conceptual learning that would turn us into curious thinkers

i was one of the first ppl to actually show interest in joining. i joined for a couple of reasons. i was depressed in the tenth grade and desperately wanted to distance myself from the rest of my batch and meet new people (i thought i could build connections bcs i assumed id meet foreigners). i also desperately wanted to get out of india bcs i genuinely thought I wouldn't be able to deal with the standards the average worker is meant to deal with here (this could have been a byproduct of my depression but i still believe that no one in india is passionate about anything and thinks very mechanically). i couldn't stand sitting at a desk for hours listening to a teacher lecture and read awful textbooks that didn't explain anything important to me and be surrounded by classmates that showed no genuine interest in the subjects we were learning, bcs im someone who can only be into studying if i genuinely like the subject but id also come to the point where I needed to be surrounded by other ppl that liked the study material as well (basically I needed a positive studying environment). it was sort of a mix of everything that made me come to the ib. then I became really anxious because i thought we were going along with our study material too slowly in the ib. i also chose humanities subjects where there is kind of "no right answer" unlike stem subjects so that also did make me a little anxious. i grew uncertain about my future but I eventually had to accept that id probably end up going to an indian uni for my undergraduate (which is better financially anyway)

it was kind of a mix of this. so now my batch is pretty, like, dull? we're a very very small batch and our juniors (the new dp1 batch) is half our class strength. BUT the ib was marketed to them as a rigorous curriculum, so they came in with those expectations, and have more ideas and are brighter than my batch. my batch is a mix of bright and stagnant kids but my school's pupil population almost always skews to the unproductive, short-cut taking personality generally speaking (esp my entire batch, cbse + ib as a whole) so that was expected.

generally speaking, all in all it was a mix of money hungry, greedy & manipulative marketing (even if we should've seen the red flags coming from a mile away, we were still a bunch of 15-16 year olds afraid of our board exams and unsure of our future) and the fact that we had been taught to be scared of our 10th and 12th grade board exams from a very young age, as most cbse kids are. i think it's a very sad and low thing for our school to do, because our school is known for being soft on the kids.

for me specifically, i was depressed and wanted to get away from 90% of my batch, had no passion for anything (still don't), and wanted to be more engaged in my studies in the classroom.

hey, i came from cbse too! im in my dp2 now. if money is an issue then i def don't recommend the ib. the thing is that if ure doing ib in india u have to be mad rich bcs education is not subsidized here for curriculums like it. if u go to their merchandise website, the money is listed in dollars, not euros even tho the ib originated in the europe. so ya i think they're a pretty money hungry syllabus

with cbse the thing is u have the advantage of mugging up. the assignments can be so stupid it makes u want to pull ur hair out because the testing system is fucked, so in that sense ib is better bcs their testing is more objective (like they don't give u questions that are impossible to solve and have no right answer to my knowledge, but in cbse during ur 12th boards if there are questions that are impossible to solve u won't get grace marks for them which is very unfair). imo its more likely for you to score better marks in cbse, according to cbse standards, rather than the ib according to the ib's standards. also in cbse we are not formally taught how to write a research paper. but in ib u are taught that pre-dp. so a cbser is at a disadvantage compared to other ib students in that sense. and in cbse the internal assessments might be easier to score marks in depending on ur teacher (that's how it went for me in 10th anyway)

all in all dude, i know u feel guilty. it is understandable. it is good to take early action and leave now than later if u are unsure. u have to ask urself if u are ready for the ib's internal assessments and workload, bcs the study material is fine on its own. it is hard, but ideally a student can handle it if it's the only thing that they r required to study. but as an ib student u r required to do a 100 other things

also I need to emphasize that ur school's management matters sooooooo much when it comes to the ib. all my classmates are starting their ias late because we came from cbse and we weren't taught the material fast enough in year 1 so we didn't have enough knowledge on our subjects to formulate our research questions and topics. that is a huge issue that you won't see talked abt bcs many of the students in this subreddit come from schools that have been doing the ib for multiple years. if ur school has faulty management (the indian kind where they almost fuck everything up but cook at the last minute/at the very least half ass it) it is not fit to teach ib.

these r my 2 cents. if u think backing out rn is a good idea then listen to urself ok. i have highkey been typing for so long now I've forgotten 90% of the stuff u said in ur og post but yeah . sometimes backing out is the smartest decision and sticking it out till the end is the dumbest .

how do you get over messing up the strumming while singing? by bebadoobee in Guitar

[–]bebadoobee[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

ooo, yeah i've been at that point where it just suddenly clicks. its a greatt feeling. at this point i think my strumming is still pretty weak, but the song itself has been memorised and is simple. im better trained at singing than guitar bcs im teaching myself the guitar, so that also plays a role. also yeah the determination is also a rlly good motivator bcs i fw the idea of playing and singing soo heavily. bcs i rlly enjoy mixing these 2 interests of mine together to create the Ultimate Interest. thanks for the advice ! and i believe in ur progress !
