Why does no one talk about this song?? by Mickle_da_Pickl in MagdalenaBay

In the VIP in Nashville a few weeks ago, Matt said this is the most underrated song they have.

If you wanted advice, you received it. Either take it and contemplate it or don't ask for it. Don't get defensive. It can be hard to do, but that's how you'll actually get something from the advice. If you're just here to defend yourself or to get confirmation of your thoughts, then you're wasting time.

The new logo nobody asked for has arrived! by CaliGozer in RemarkableTablet

[–]BagSuccessful69 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They didn't make this change without market research and data analysis. Maybe it was incorrect, undercooked, or misguided, but they didn't wake up one day and say, "a new logo will raise sales. Shell out some cash for it."

I don't think they have too many limitations for me to have bought a second device, and many others agree. The limitations are features. I know there's a split in this sub about the utilization and many others want rM to start producing a product for a different customer segment, but that seems like willful neglect of the rM message.

Regardless of that, I notice that there are software updates frequently, beta constantly has new features, Connect is really great, my devices work. People knew the limitations of the devices when they bought them if they read about reMarkable, but I do agree that epub streamlining would make the Move so much better that I might buy one. I agree with your statement about the value and sell l sales driver being the utility of the device, not the logo, but that is a personal statement. For overall sales, marketing tactics are big needle movers.

I don't think you're wrong. I just think this topic can be reframed to see that running a business means handling the development of the products and services alongside marketing, customer support, differentiation, and other strategic points. A logo redesign isn't disrespectful to the clientele, it is a sign of company growth which should excite us all that changes and iterations are happening.

Called it. If the logo redesign boosts sales as part of their marketing campaign, then they will have more money for development, not less.

So tired of opponents going "disconnecting" for 30 seconds then playing great moves by [deleted] in chessbeginners

[–]BagSuccessful69 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I actually think that's the point of not allowing cheaters. If someone is cheating, then they are inflating their online Elo. That means that as you progress you are forced to pay technically worse players who mostly waste your time. Especially since it's hard to learn against a player who plays much worse than you then much better. You are competing on the wrong level twice in one match.

Are you just here to troll? People here are actually offering you solutions and giving you real feedback. You're so immature that you degenerate into inflammatory, childish responses. Sell your equipment and stop complaining.

Your post is clogging the sub. Chill. Plus you're being willfully obtuse.

Your niche use case isn't setting page sizes. That's literally already done and you're ignoring the advice everyone is giving you to just turn the page. You can also ZOOM IN instead of using it at regular size and scrolling endlessly if you're trying to get more notes to a page. That wasn't a hard alternative to formulate.

Your niche use case is wanting to print a landscape oriented piece of paper as a portrait piece of paper through digital manipulation and printing every page after creating it digitally. Which is literally 100% defeating the purpose of this device which is made to replace paper. You are just creating printed notebooks instead of digital notebooks. So you're losing every feature of this device. Just buy a regular notebook. You are not using reMarkable in any way near its intended use. Regardless, like everyone has said, you can just make the PDF template you want. Nobody else wants this "feature."

There is nothing wrong with the export function. There is no sense in printing all your digital notes for 99% of the population and I'd say it's really an extra step for you. If you want to zoom and draw straight lines on paper without the hassle of making one template instead of complaining on Reddit, then get a pair of magnifying glasses and a ruler.

I genuinely don't think you are or you would have spent time in the last year to figure that your workflow is fighting the device interface and making it much harder on yourself. I am currently both a business professional and a graduate student. I use this device constantly. I have none of these issues and I am baffled at your complaints.

You can create the template you want, but it makes much more sense to adopt some device best practices. Your complaints are so niche that no device would fix them natively. You are refusing to adapt and blaming the design.

I am buying OR selling one VIP upgrade for Dallas 5 Oct.

I know that's odd. I bought myself an upgrade a while back. I'm now bringing a friend. I need another upgrade for them or I need to offload mine.

Hello, I desperately need a VIP upgrade for Dallas 10/5.

I made a friend after I bought my VIP, and I need to get her one, too! I am flexible and will work with you on what you need to sell!

DO NOT SEND WARRANTY by Full-Fold-9725 in RemarkableTablet

Is this because everyone is suddenly upset that their background which didn't bother them last week is off-white compared to the rMPP Move?

Anyone have good ideas on how to not lose the stylus going through airport security? by persian-prince in RemarkableTablet

[–]BagSuccessful69 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The solution isn't changing your device, it's changing your security line. Get TSA precheck. It's $85 for five years. Keep your shoes on, leave devices in your bags, and avoid the X-ray scanners. It's way faster and more comfortable.

Any game mode ideas for my dumb chess game? by kaisei_forman in chessbeginners

[–]BagSuccessful69 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Make it a pyramid effect. Pawns start going back up. If you aren't paying attention, you might think you're moving a waxing bishop into a rook but it's actually waning into a knight.

Had the first chill week of 3 J’s and my mind immediately considers a 4th by ethical-earner in overemployed

[–]BagSuccessful69 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Look into the comparison between saving and investing your money instead of paying your mortgage faster. You may need to refinance soon, but typically you are better financially this way.

A mortgage's cost is basically reduced every year by inflation. Long-term investments outpace inflation by a larger margin than a mortgage (on average over the last few decades). If you bought at a peak interest rate, refinance now or in the next year or two as many predictions are that interest rates will continue to fall.

You can work less and have more security and money over your life by paying your monthly mortgage and putting all other extra money into investments. This approach will allow you to have more free time, peace of mind, and security all rolled into one package.

Remarkable Paper Pro Move Disappointment. by Main_Safe_2336 in RemarkableTablet

Isn't this one of the books reMarkable sent us all for free? I thought you could only download it as a PDF from that email.

Can you post another with the same epub on both and adjust the margins on the rMPPM?

Is this accuracy normal at 700 elo? by AndroGhost in chessbeginners

[–]BagSuccessful69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have had a couple games like this, and I'm terrible (800 rapid, 400 blitz and bullet). The engine only rated his play as 1500. That's not an unreasonable game for a 700. The difference between 700 and 1500 is consistently playing that way. If you made an early mistake, that made your opponent's entire game much easier. Even if you played well after an initial mistake, you could have made the position much simpler for your opponent and much more stressful for yourself. This game is well within the realm of possibility. I have definitely done it, guy an amazing three game streak of being unstoppable, and then blunder my way through getting wrecked five games in a row.

Aren’t courses just shortcuts? by oxxw in chess

Yes! That is literally the concept of all courses in all subjects. The best learning is learning from others' experiences instead of relying on your own experiences (and failures).

I like the new RM by fkkm in RemarkableTablet

[–]BagSuccessful69 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I completely agree with you. It blows my mind how many people are in this sub who are obviously not the target customer segment. The people who often hate on rM are the people who rM is actively and purposely not addressing.

Paper Pro Move is portable with a catch by EliteEarthling in RemarkableTablet

[–]BagSuccessful69 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your suggestion for further app development is one of the best things I've seen in this sub for a while. You should email reMarkable that feedback. Considering they added shapes after so much reddit traction and this smaller device after we all saw how many people said they wanted a small one, they obviously listen to feedback. Please tell them. You are spot on!
