iPhone 16e - Magsafe?

Just got my iPhone 16e yesterday and I absolutely love how light and sleek it is.

I'm confused regarding the Magsafe aspect though.

I know iPhone 16e is not Magsafe compatible, but I have read somewhere that attaching a Magsafe case to it somehow makes it Magsafe compatible and can charge, albeit slowly. I don't get it, is this true? How can simply attaching a case make it Magsafe compatible?

Halal Cash ISA vs Halal savings account, or both?

I've been reading up on investing for the past several years, but still haven't done anything, been stuck in decision paralysis.

I'm thinking of getting the ball rolling and starting off with something simple, opening either of the two above to dump my cash/emergency fund into. Gatehouse offer both, I'm confused whether I should open both, or just one of them, and if so, which one?

Dumber mini - NFC payments

Strongly thinking of ordering the dumber mini.

I’ve seen its supports electronic payments, however I’ve read it uses Curve Pay.

Would this make any practical difference to using Apple Pay, which I’m currently doing with my iPhone?

I just want to be able to pay for things.

Worried about going med school due to my learning style

So I'm a grad, I've been working as a hospital AHP, and I'm starting med school in September.

I've already posted about how worried I am about med school, given I am a reeaaallly slow learner, and I am not academically gifted. It takes me ages to pick something up that others around me seem to pick up so easily and quickly.

I'd like to ask about a specific deficiency I've noticed in myself; my inability to learn from pre-made information. If it's even slightly off from how I would approach a specific case, I'm unable to adapt my mind to it, and I have to spend so much time adjusting it to how I would approach a similar case.

As an example, a few months ago someone sent me a pdf of very useful flowcharts developed by an eye hospital on how to diagnose sudden loss of vision, a red eye, and eye pain. The flowchart was focused too much on signs, not symptoms, and I struggled to commit it to memory and to follow it logically in clinic. Part of it is that it doesn't fit with how I'd approach it in real-life. Usually I'd take a detailed history and try to eliminate sinister causes. So I spent hours "re-purposing" the flowcharts by adding in symptoms, using an Oxford Handbook, and thinking deeply about how I would personally reach a diagnosis. But it took me SO many hours.

This really worries me because I know that in med school, the amount of information you have to consume is gigantic, and one has to get used to being able to rely on external sources, whether that's pre-made Anki cards, books, papers, etc. If my brain is so dependent on doing things "my way" I fear I won't be able to keep up. Or, at the very least, I won't be able to do other things with my life as my whole time will be spent on trying to "get things."

I feel like I'm unable to learn things on the go. I have to sit down and really rack my brain to pick things up.

Does anyone have advice?

How to know if a WhatsApp business account has bl**ked me

Messages are one tick and can’t see profile picture anymore

However I can still see their WhatsApp banner picture

I’ve also seen that they’re active on telegram so I don’t think it’s WiFi issues

Deciding between the Dumber mini and Minimal

Ok so I think I’ve shortlisted these two.

I don’t know whether to buy the minimal phone or the dumber mini.

The advantage of the minimal, is that it could probably completely replace my iPhone. The disadvantage is, I’ve read that the battery life is very poor, despite being e ink. And a host of other horrific drawbacks I’ve read here in Reddit.

The alternative is the dumber mini, which has WhatsApp 2FA etc, but I feel I’ll still need to keep my iPhone with me, albeit switched off, to be able to use it when I absolutely have to. But my fear is, given my severe smartphone addiction, I’ll end up pulling it out, or, when I do actually need it, I’ll use it and then tell myself I’ll spend a few minutes on it and lo and behold I’ve spent 6 hours on it

Don’t know what to do

How to use image occlusion enhanced when using the iOS app

I’m adding cards using the iPhone app, when I select image occlusion and add the picture, it doesn’t give me an option to occlude any part of the image,

Is there a way to do this?

Anki settings confusing

I’ve set the learning steps as 15m 1day 6days, as per an Anki masterclass I went through. My understanding is that this means the first time I click Good, the card should come back in 15m, the next time I click Good it should come back in 1 day, and then 6days.

I’ve applied this preset to a new deck I’ve made.

However, Good is showing for the first time as 1day, instead of 15mins.

I’m really quite confused.

Anki settings not working properly

Starting med school in September and I really need to nail this down.

I’ve been watching Ali Abdaal’s masterclass; because its a few years old, the settings on Anki look slightly different, though I’ve tried to align mine as best as I can with his suggested ones.

More specifically though, he mentioned setting the learning steps as 15mins 1day 6days.

I’ve done this, and to test it, I’ve gone ahead and created a new deck and applied the preset.

Now when I open that deck, the cards show Again<15min, Hard:1day, good:1day, and Easy:2mo

I’m really confused. Shouldn’t Good be showing as <15min?

The idea is/meant to be that if I click on Good once, it comes back in 15mins, then 1day, then 6 days

It’s all quite confusing

Anyone having trouble?

I submitted my application last week and yet to receive a confirmation email.

I tried calling and it keeps advising me to the webchat, but the webchat keeps routing me to login, even though I’m already logged in,

This is just a nightmare

Confused about syncing

Just starting out with Anki and I’m a little confused

So I first downloaded the app on my Mac and started playing around with making decks.

After a few weeks, I bought the iPhone app, but was confused about how to link the two. From the app, I understood I need to create an Anki web account, which I did; then logged into the iPhone app with the account details.

I can see my decks now, but I’ve realised that if I create a deck on either of the devices, I need to click sync on both of them for them to appear on both. Is this normal? Or should they not be syncing automatically?

Who to choose in the UK

I’ve been told by everyone that it’s it’s not about e clinic, choose a surgeon

But the decision fatigue is killing me. I’ve seen lots of profiles of UK surgeons online, such as at the wimpole clinic, who seem to have impressive records. How do I then decide which one is right for me? Or should I stop overthinking and go for the one that’s done thousands of surgeries?

Would anyone recommend anyone for me please, ideally in London

Thank you

If money isn’t too much of an issue, should you have transplant in London?

I jumped into booking a hair transplant in Turkey, with Serkan Aygin, and it’s scheduled for next month. I just thought I’d go with the best, and given he’s won a European award or something, and I’ve seen a couple YouTube influencers go and have theirs done, I decided to not overthink and went ahead and booked it.

However I’m getting real cold feet now seeing some horrible reviews online and here on Reddit.

I’m thinking of cancelling it. I’m seriously at odds with myself. Don’t know what to do.

Here’s the thing, I do have a bunch of savings and having to spend extra to do it in the UK won’t be THAT difficult. If money is there, “should” I do it here? I was thinking of Wimpole Clinic. Or should I save the extra 2-3k?
