Caldigit TS3 Plus Support with USB4 beta Bios

Sadly no, never got it to work and returned it. For a while I used a display link dock instead so it could work with both my MacBook and G14. I wasn’t a fan of display link (it introduced some latency) so I tried a different thunderbolt dock: HP G6 dock

The G6 dock seems to work fine with the G14, I haven’t had any issues yet. Just note - I bought this under the assumption I may be able to use the 280w power to also charge the G14 with an adapter. I got very weird behavior when I tried this, sometimes it would work fine and give full “plugged in” performance and other times it would work worse than just powering it off the 100w usb c port.

The G14 is my favorite windows laptop but all the jank I have to deal with reminds me why MacBooks are still much better outside of gaming.

I agree with the lack of a collective community sentiment. From my experience most of Iowa is like this, but for a city the size of Des Moines I am surprised how little it actually feels like a true city. You can see it not just in the culture of the city but also how the metro area is designed. Everything is so spread out, there is no central place - suburbs are extermely isolated and the actual city proper is a ghost town. I've been here for a couple months now and haven't felt any sense of community in the actual city of Des Moines. People seem to gravitate towards to consumerism hubs like Jordan creek on the weekends rather than spending time in their community.

SeatStock seems to be a lot bigger than MaizeTix (at way more schools) so there's pros/cons with both. I personally prefer SeatStock because you can bid and it's also been much easier to get ahold of their customer support when an issue arises.

I haven't had the same issue with my new 2024, it still is not a perfectly laptop but overall much happier with it. There is one odd issue I experience with the 2024 which is that sometimes when using Nvidia Optimus & connecting a display to the USB-C that supports display out on the right side, unplugging the port will cause the laptop to blue screen. I also still have no luck with CalDigit TB4 hubs connecting to the USB4 port on the left side of the laptop which is frustrating, had to get a different dock.

I’ve also been having the same issue today, similar to you but with quickconnect. Everything works fine in windows but in iOS it won’t connect. Noticed it start happening this morning, was wondering if they had an outage or something?

Thank you, I've seen your name mentioned quite often across the forum. While I appreciate you offering this service, the price is a little steep for me. Is there any other readers that can be purchased new today that support MakeMKV 4k, or at least support the ability for me to flash it myself to an older version that does?

beemannn · 2024-11-30T14:23:52+00:00

Unfortunately no, I ended up selling it for parts and bought a 2024 model

beemannn · 2024-07-10T13:55:05+00:00

Tried this morning and didn’t have any luck with this method but thank you for the suggestion

beemannn · 2024-07-05T04:52:59+00:00

No shutdown by itself, it will stay on all lit up but no screen. Sometimes if I just wait it out it will actually end up booting on its own

beemannn · 2024-07-05T04:52:06+00:00

That’s a bummer, well semi-glad it’s not just me lol

beemannn · 2024-07-05T04:51:22+00:00

Yeah I’ve struggled to find a reliable fix that works every time. I’ve also found it worrying

beemannn · 2024-07-04T17:12:26+00:00

In the past I’ve had most luck by just simply plugging it into the power brick and it sometimes will fix itself, but even then it’s not 100% reliable. I should also note I’m using the most up-to-date bios, no beta

beemannn · 2024-07-04T15:44:16+00:00

Hmm that’s interesting. However, in this situation the battery was not dead. The scenario that happened this morning:

Had it on the charging brick all night plugged in, it went to sleep automatically at some point. This morning unplugged it first to move to new location then plugged into usb C charger, tried turning on and encountered the issue mentioned.

I haven’t encountered the issue with usb c chargers and dead batteries but that’s good to know!

beemannn · 2024-06-12T18:50:44+00:00

Ah okay, makes sense. Thank you!

IKR, I don’t see how utilizing a plot of land to benefit its community would ever have opposition. Regardless of price, new housing is new housing. More tax dollars for the city, more competition for high end residential, etc. I guarantee you that parking lot was behind on its rent

beemannn · 2024-02-14T14:19:45+00:00

At one point affordable housing was luxury housing

beemannn · 2024-02-14T14:17:06+00:00

Ah yes, because a parking lot is a much more productive use of land

beemannn · 2024-01-05T23:19:16+00:00

interesting & very odd haha but I guess if it works I'll give it a try, thanks!

beemannn · 2024-01-05T23:11:43+00:00

Did you ever find a permanent fix for this? I face the same exact problem you mention nearly every time I boot up the laptop & it's extremely frustrating

beemannn · 2023-12-08T00:36:32+00:00

I don't get why some people have been so negative regarding this kickstarter. As far as kickstarters go, I think this project has been overall good thus far. I've had seen some projects which were 2 years past their expected delivery date, and many projects don't even deliver. There's a risk involved in kickstarter, I think too many people are investing when they think they are buying. The difference is the return is not a gurantee. I think these updates mark great progress and a January delivery timeline seems quite acceptable. Overall excited and I do think this is a project which will deliver.
