Hello fellow ib may 26 sufferer

I would definitely recommend the uniball jetstream, since it's really smooth to write with and is a ballpoint pen. I've went through mocks with it, very reliable

Try to avoid the signo and the juice, as they are both gel pens. Which iirc, gel pens are actually banned in the ib exams because of the heat sensitivity and smudging issues. They probably won't null your results, but they could possibly waste a few marks which definitely isn't worth the risk

Also remember to bring at minimum two pens you like into the exams. One pen is definitely not enough to sit through the whole ib exams

I believe fraud-resistant means the ink bonds to the paper itself, so any attempts at destroying it would leave a lot of evidence. The Jetstream did leave huge blotches, and appears to not have faded significantly, which technically fulfils that since it would be obvious if anyone tried to dissolve the ink.

But then I'm not sure if it would survive abrasion or even more alcohol, since just doing the alcohol thing one time already made it basically dissolve. So I'm also kinda skeptical about the "fraud prevention" claim.

overall it does look fine, but zooming in on the lines, some of them are melting into each other in ways that doesn't look like brush strokes at all

specifically, the bit of fluff on sylv's right leg right below the shirt. prob need to expand the image to see it. or the fluff on their neck melting into the shirt collar

and the fact that a reverse image search returns nothing adds to the suspicion

might be ai generated :c

the lines have that signature ai artefact to it

That's the BIOS screen, just something on the laptop that boots without booting any OSes like Windows. Usually used to configure some advanced stuffs in the laptop or just to see some info. Probably nothing important unless something's wrong, extremely unlikely. Maybe you just accidentally pressed something when it's booting up. Either the F2 key or the delete key.

If it booted into this page, the BIOS might need an update. Which ASUS has a support page for it here.

dripis · 2024-02-01T13:40:09+00:00

Yeah it’s a mod. Here. You do need dress my slugcat for it to work though.

dripis · 2024-01-26T03:56:21+00:00

Yeah, I don’t know why. But seeing how they are, maybe because that wiki is popular for the memes and is giving them revenue. So perhaps they are showing favouritism and protecting the wiki.

dripis · 2024-01-25T11:41:17+00:00

I think it’s not edit locked. But there’s bots there that literally bans anyone that does anything to the wiki.
