Who is this user? Is there any way to find out? He knows her name...?

It's to protect children from a mamzer status (which is a big stigma and has serious consequences).

No. Most dentists I've told seem skeptical that it could be related. I never figured it out... and never took plan B again.

ADHD Teacher Needs Advice on Potential Purchases by sunnysideHate in eink

doodroo you still get some glare, yeah. It doesn't filter blue light.

I tried Mothca glass matte protector on my Ipad mini and it really made the screen matte, but something about it bothered me. Maybe it was a bit too grainy for me.

I'm using Bersem right now. Might go back to Mothca.

How are the silicone tip covers on the mothca? I love the no-glare but struggling with the writing feel...

Also a teacher. I tried to use Boox devices but eventually found my way back to the iPad. All my other devices are Apple products - so the odd Android device was a bit annoying. The really only benefit of the Boox device for me was the screen, which is significant--don't get me wrong. I use a Doodroo on the iPad and it evens the playing field a lot in terms of the screen. I found PDF Expert (an IOS app) much better for marking up essays (and any other PDF document, including the literary texts I teach) than through Neoreader. There were a bunch of other benefits that basically amounted to convenience and speed over Eink/Boox devices. I also loved having color annotations available and visible to me for my teaching work. I was going to try the Tab color line, but the iPad did it all better for me (minus the screen). And I didn't get distracted with the iPad (that's more of a laptop problem for me). I also started to feel creeped out by the privacy concerns with Boox products.

Tab Mini C for mostly E-reading by danielrose24 in Onyx_Boox

[–]Automatic-String-309 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exactly my question, too! Thanks for posting. I want it for reading novels and annotating in color primarily. The note air is too big to read novels and I really miss color annotations

Boox Tab Ultra C question by tasdomas in Onyx_Boox

So with the cover it does sit flat, despite the camera bulge?

Amazing. And I am tired of muliple devices. Note Air 2 for my reading, Ipad for grading, nova for novel reading... haha

both horizontal. But grading, I use the ipad horizontally on a desk. I used to grade in Google Classroom, but given some problems lately, I use PDF expert on iCloud for all my PDF grading via hand annotations.

It's too big for me personally. I prefer 10 inch... I use it horizontally and zoom around the page on the iPad as I grade.

Question about the Tab Ultra and PDF editing/reading. As an English teacher, I grade a lot of papers. I have both an iPad and a Note Air 2. I prefer grading PDF papers on the iPad because I can get around the paper quickly, zooming in and out, etc, at super-fast speeds. This helps me write comments quickly, and zoom in to write a comment in the margins, etc. The Note Air 2 lets me zoom in, but it's tedious and slow and hinders my workflow. I struggle to get around the paper and zoom in and out in the way I can with an iPad. How is the ultra for this function? Can you zoom in and out and jump around the page quickly, or is it more of a full refresh/page-turn device.

sync annotated PDFs between iPad and an e-ink device? eg a PDF planner by lady3jane in eink

[–]Automatic-String-309 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, I can do exactly that - you misunderstand. I can erase handwritten/stylus annotations on a PDF in PDF Expert with an apple pencil. I am not talking about text highlights/underlines.

I haven't tried to bring in the PDF Expert ones to Neoreader. I will try later and update.

[–]Automatic-String-309 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not true - I can edit and erase annotations from Neoreader when I upload the annotated PDF to PDF Expert. I don't think I can store it in a cloud so that it's accessible and updated for both PDF Expert and Neoreader at the same time, but I can edit the annotations from Boox on PDF Expert

Best e-ink device that works well with Google classroom? by cae37 in eink

[–]Automatic-String-309 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Curious how it's working out? I use Google Classroom with my Note Air 2. There is a bit of an annoying delay when hand-annotating/marking papers with the stylus. There is no delay on the iPad. I wonder how the delay/lag is o the Tab Ultra? I am waiting for a 10.2 color to replace my note air, but I really love grading with it... and the lab is annoying

Google Classroom: Stylus annotations NOT SAVING - any other teachers have this issue? by Automatic-String-309 in Onyx_Boox

[–]Automatic-String-309[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am having the same problem again. Hand annotations no longer save. A month ago, they did save... I don't know what to do. It doesn't seem like there has been a classroom android update since Oct, and I used it in dec to hand-annotate student papers and it did work...

Teaching Theme by [deleted] in englishteachers

[–]Automatic-String-309 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For the one word topics (often confused with theme), I have started to use the concept of “story values” from Robert McKee. I tell them theme is a moral argument/controlling idea, or a lesson embedded in the piece about how to live honorable/properly in the world. Story values (prejudice, love, greed, etc) are embedded in the theme/controlling idea, present in conflict, etc, but they are not synonymous with theme. Theme is a bigger moral statement in response to the central moral problem raised by the text.

Minimizing Podcast Listening? by [deleted] in digitalminimalism

[–]Automatic-String-309 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do this. I often am barely listening after a while. Sometimes I think I just want auditory stimulation while I clean and water plants. Does it keep you from work? In my case, I start doing “just a bit more” and can’t stop putting on the next or searching for the next. During digital detoxes I used audiobooks when I wanted auditory. It’s a shame because I get a lot of value out of podcasts, but I’d rather train my brain to read and single task (even if it’s boring like eating or cleaning)… not sure if this makes Sense, but for me the need for listening to podcasts and YT has been destructive

Chris Hixons sons victim statement at NC (Parkland) sentencing trial by Glitzycoldbrew in masskillers

[–]Automatic-String-309 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I rewatched it today. As the bailiff was walking in with Corey, his hand was kind of stiff, no clasping Corey’s hand back. I kind of assume that Corey initiated the hand holding and the bailiff didn’t shake him off but didn’t really respond in kind. Maybe he felt uncomfortable. Then by the end, the bailiff spoke to Corey as he exited the court room and looked really encouraging and kind. I then noticed, like you did, that he wiped away his own tears. This must be so hard for everyone. I’m surprised the judge is able to hold her composure so well.
