I really liked Clairefontain Agedbag notebook. But they went cheap from clothbound to bond a decade ago. Currently I am using Clairefontaine My Essential notebook as it is still thread bound (but price is double than age bag).

It’s been 20 years I’ve used their notebooks.

starlink recently announced to support T-Mobile to send msg or call. So should be better than this.

I cannot find anywhere the subscription plan price after 2 years. Kind of disappointing to this.

As a garmin inReach user, I hope this supports location report to closed friends like how Garmin did. But it's not. It is only for emergency.

We have logical language already. Esperanto. Don't we? :)

I agree. It was my fault when WFH began that I didn't lease coworking space. I put money on wfh setup and home isnt big enough to separate me from kids.

I am really strongly against this. I do not like this kind of behavior. You only barely scrap the surface.

If I have to choose between open office and WFH, I will choose open-office 3~4 days /week. As I have kids, only morning time I can focus on work. Then, whole afternoon, I am distracted by them asking me to do something or some other random questions.

Of course, I am also distracted by colleagues when I am at office. It is also annoying. They do not care whether I am in focus mode or not. So, going back to the focus mode takes long and some times I couldn't until the end of the day.

Still, by answering their questions, anyhow I am unblocking them. When I WFH, I rarely get questions. Colleagues tend to send an email or slack and waiting my responses. So, my productivity may fall but overall productivity increases.

I do, however, hope companies move back to dedicated room culture. With that, at least I won't be distracted by others' hall way chats but questions.

I remember when FB announced they will launch podcasting platform (or clubhouse alternatives), the head of the program took a photo that she sat in front of a laptop and a famous podcast mic (Blue Yeti) with wrong direction. Blue Yeti has diaphragm towards the front not upward, her mic top pointed to her mouth.

I expected this.

I like write on paper. I have written journals for 14 years, which now fill one section of my bookshelves.

This year I switched from fountain pens and clairfontaine notbook to E-ink tablet, Supernote A5x.

the main purpose is to keep the record in digital formats, And so far I am satisfied. The OCR sucks, though. I hope Supernote may adopt the GPT-3.

I am using Supernote A5x. It has solutions for almost all issues the author addressed. Syncing is exceptionally good. It can sync to its own cloud or dropbox.

User can install Kindle app, so I can read all e book. The annotation feature while reading the book is good.

The problem of thin columns is the scrolling in my opinion. Currently the writer can't restrict the column height. So readers should scroll down and up if the post is long.

If browsers provide a CSS descriptor to limit the column height so that the page contains multiple columns and, if overflows, the overflowed content is shown in the downward direction (not horizontal direction), then maybe I can try this.

Just installed and my machine failed. cannot reboot. Had to install Windows 10 again...

I'd had Ratta Supernote A5x for an e-writer. Really loved it. Bigger storage than reMarkable 2, better software and cloud integration than reMarkable 2. The pencil response time is somewhat slower than reMarkable 2 though.

I'd used it extensively. And lost. I instantly changed my Ratta cloud password. But any taker can see my notes in the device. No way to block the access remotely. The only protection from theft is to set the 6 digit PIN.

Now, I am hesitant to buy another Supernote A5x. Maybe I just admit the device can be lost, so that I just copy old notes and delete from the device regularly.

I do want to know whether I am exposed to COVId and get to be quarantined to not spread out the covid to others who I really take care of. Dont want to be a person that possibly make my family or friends sick.

Funny thing is... while they are saying FB has been preparing the audio app for a long time but the interviewee has the blue yeti mic in wrong direction!

Then if any news refer FB content, will they also give money to them?

I am sick of verifying my FB account periodically after deleting the account and re-create with same email. Then, the weirdness came up, such as timeline only shows a couple of posts or nothing even I visited friends page and showed recent posts. And first a few months, FB asked me to upload the verifiable ID to unblock my FB account. (What the hell they need my ID ? I already enabled 2FA but kept complaining suspicious activity.)

I've seen the Skydio has docking station (for outdoor use) too. but not sure it can transmit the video live or not.

It worked to me. But honestly annoying. I had to keep opening the browser for half of the emails.

I also had that But the experience is way worse than reading email in html format. And these days, almost all emails are in html format with pretty basic text/plain in the form of multiformat.

That plain text doesn't have the intention of the composer, for instance, the inline image doesn't show inline and the email context says the figure above.

It is not that business form, but some ppl use colorful format to emphasize some text, which basically gives same text in the email, which makes the reader (in plain text) easily miss that part while skimming.

i recently switched to Thunderbird from Neomutt + Notmuch + afew + gmailieer combination. I was satisfied mutt's responsiveness, simplicity. But more and more emails are only for html based and its conversion to text is horrendous, I had to view Html at its own format. Then Thunderbird becomes a good candidate.

I switched to 34inch 1440p ultrawide monitor after WFH began. Previous monitor was 27inch 4k monitor. As I put the monitor at the edge of the desk, I don't notice significant differences of the text quality.

As I use work laptop and personal desktop both, changing to ultrawide that supports USB KVM is god blessed. It removes any clutter to switching between the PCs.

I think he may go to Google? or Facebook?

So, I normally don't use AIO desktop, which in general use soldered RAM/ disks in these days. Yes, you can get extra space on your desk but the handling of the errors are quite bothersome. For laptop, someone may use laptop as a main system, but for me it is substitute, so I don't bother whether it fails or not, and fortunately, I didn't see the failure on my rMBP, XPS, or even chromebook yet.

This. Why ppl can move to another email provider? Because email protocol is public! (even some tricky protocols are added such as DKIM)

So, I hope any new social platform or communication platform has a public interface.to communicate with its replica. Mastodon can be an example but it is not widely spread yet .

If they have only one flat model, then probably pole-to-pole might be the best to explain... the plain cannot suddenly go to the opposite continent, for instance goes to Australia then south pole then south America...

Wow... I never thought about the theory... just wow...

Just curious, do Flat Earthers never fly the earth a round to confirm? I mean, leaving from America to go to Europe then Asia then America. Doesn't have to go to the space to see the shape of the earth but just keep looping the round earth should be sufficient. Will they think it may be another continent? with same wife, kids, street names, etc?

Well, it was firstly advertised as free account with custom domain. I was one of many who created the account. and keep frustrating and maintaining another @gmail.com account for this reason.

I've got the usefulness of Ultisnip in this article at least. I couldn't understand everything else... mathematics?
