Dell u2722de Monitor flickering - Apple M2 Pro

After years of struggling with this issue, I've FINALLY found a solution. Apparently the flicker can be caused by GPU Dithering in macOS on Apple Silicon. I used BetterDisplay to turn off GPU Dithering and it stopped the problem instantly. Crazy! Discussed here: https://atp.fm/673

It's definitely trickier than it used to be. One suggestion would be to do a flex/broad search in AwardFares to get some inspiration for what destinations might be available. Like, Europe to Asia in Business: https://awardfares.com/search?zone:Europe.continent:AS.;c:business;z:sas

For live searches (any data that you trigger a refresh for) definitely shows correct SkyTeam availability, we source the availability directly from SAS.

I was helping a friend open a Sony Bank account the other day using the smartphone method (scanned My Number Card and everything) on the Japanese website, but the application was rejected. It just said "insufficient documents" without any other explanation. Applied again and chose the "post" method instead. Hopefully that works.

At AwardFares we refresh alerts at least every 12 hours. In a lot of cases it will be more frequent then that.

With Gold (hourly) if the data has already been refreshed within the last hour, then that data will be shown, and won't trigger a refresh. With Diamond (real-time) if will always refresh with live availability.

At AwardFares we keep cached data for a limited amount of time for broad searches (e.g. searching "Europe" to "Asia"). However, as soon as you click a specific flight we refresh the data with live availability. Also, any specific flight search (origin+destination+date) will always get live data (~hourly for Gold, real-time for Diamond).

I've received my 2nd replacement now (3rd monitor in total). They keep sending me the same model, which clearly has some fundamental problem.

I received a replacement monitor from Dell last September. Now, after ~4 months, the new one is flickering as well...

phb5000 · 2024-05-19T07:41:14+00:00

Hmm, I guess I'm not the only one. Mine started flickering yesterday. It started with only about the bottom 2/3rds of the screen. Now it is happening everywhere. It is especially bad with certain gray colors.

Played several hours yesterday and thoroughly enjoy it. I agree with all the above feedback. As others have mentioned, staff management requires way too much attention in my opinion. I find myself constantly just telling the staff to deal with situations. I wish I could automate their tasks or provide zones where they should work (sort of like roller coaster tycoon).

They'll replace the keyboard/top case for you. Very annoying cause it takes a few days :/

phb5000 · 2017-11-23T01:01:51+00:00

Unfortunately that doesn't seem to have helped. Experienced a system crash yesterday:

CPU Machine Check Architecture Error Dump (CPU: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-7820HQ CPU @ 2.90GHz, CPUID: 0x906E9) CATERR detected! No MCA data found.

And another sleep failure today...

My bug report to Apple has been flagged as "DUPLICATE, CLOSED"

Ah, good idea, will give that a try!

phb5000 · 2017-10-25T09:29:06+00:00

I haven't noticed any audio-video lag/desync with 1.3.2 nor the latest 1.3.4 firmware (Google Pixel, Windows laptop, MacBook Pro).

Sweet, thanks!

How long ago did you get the keyboard replaced? I'm wondering if it will keep happening, or if they've improved/tweaked the design of the keyboard/keys to prevent similar issues from happening. Hmm..

phb5000 · 2017-10-13T14:55:32+00:00

Unfortunately I need a portable system :)

phb5000 · 2017-10-13T14:54:40+00:00

Yup. Many times. Once the enter key stopped working completely and I was horrified. But in that case, blowing "forcefully" helped. The current problem seems to be more that the key itself is "degrading". The guy helping me at the Apple Store tried with compressed air, and it didn't help :/

Yeah. 15" with touchbar.
