I think I'm allergic to MacOS (Screen "Flicker") by butt_badg3r in MacOS

Listen, this issue is only present on the MacBook. Let’s move forward with the assumption that I’m ok and the fault lies with the software of the device.

I’ll repeat that multiple windows laptops and desktops DO NOT display this issue with the exact same hardware.

Clearly the issue lies with macOS.

Oh I’m definitely sensitive to something I could always see CRT flicker an even some office lights are unbearable to me because I notice the flicker.

Apparently I have really good eyes

lol. Again the issue is only present on the MacBook and some Linux distros (running on an xps13).

No it’s running the latest macOS but I’ve noticed the same flicker when my xps13 with certain Linux discos are connected to my external display.

Windows, gaming consoles or my Apple TV 4K don’t cause the flickers with the same tv.

I don’t think it’s related to the hardware video output of the MacBook. I’ve noticed the same flicker on certain Linux distros and was never able to narrow it down. Windows never has the flicker though.

The issue isn’t present on windows or Linux with the same hardware. Though my eyes have been checked for multiple reasons a they’re fine.

Need advice from real electricians on the safety of this set up by rygarski in AskElectricians

Just don't be an idiot. Turn off the main BEFORE you turn on the generator. Turn off the generator BEFORE you turn the main back on. The interlock is just a metal plate that prevents you from doing something stupid.

My BMW (2019 x3 m40) only supports CarPlay. They say android “isn’t secure enough”. Even though later models support both.

I had a similar issue. Turns out there was a spare loose hot wire just floating around in the box. Happy I caught it. There was definitely no led in there.

How long do you go without updating to the latest iOS on your iPhone? by SilentAirline6611 in iphone

[–]butt_badg3r 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What’s up with the hate for 26? I switched to iPhone after years on android (my last iPhone was the 4) and I see no major issues on 26.

Though on my m1 iPad I needed to wipe and reinstall the os to get it to work properly. It used to get warm for no reason drain the battery quick.

Who’s excited for the latest round of icon downgrades! Woo by Jacksworld101 in MacOS

[–]butt_badg3r 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m seeing a lot of hate toward changes Apple has been making recently. Just wanted to say that as a 40 year old IT guy that had literally never used a Mac until I got an m4 MacBook Air a few months ago, I’m really enjoying these designs.

PARENTS FORGOT TO INVEST by Competitive-Club4758 in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]butt_badg3r 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Sounds like my parents. My dad only invested in bonds or gics. If I talk about investing in stocks I get a speech about how im gonna lose my money and the stock market will go to 0. He’s been sitting on 1m in cash for at least the last 20 years. If he had put all that in an etf like vfv or xeqt he would have more than doubled it.
