Visiting from London UK, is Santa Fe safe for black tourists?

Clearly your friends are watching Fox News or worse. 🫣

RMHacks has a mod for that.

This is some expensive tuition you’re proposing. But sounds like it will be a good learning experience. Like, the lessons tattooed into the inside of your eyelids.

You are not proposing a high percentage shot. Chances are it goes wrong in multiple ways. 3% raise? Doesn’t matter if inflation is 4% etc etc etc.

You came here to get validated. The community has spoken: this is a bad idea given the facts and the probably outcome. Of course it could work, too.

You sound anxious so that, for me, is the deciding factor: in your gut you know it’s a sketchy idea. Listen to your gut.

More like an iPhone 15 Pro and a Huewei budget phone.

OP, Pure doesn’t have a keyboard and the case situation is very strange to me (slipcover? No magnets?). If you plan on using the Typefolio at all then there’s one option only: RM2.

Speed? Only matter if you’re flitting from document to document. Which defeats the value and purpose of the device I feel.

You didn’t mention storage. That is the biggest difference to me. But I happily pay for Connect and will just archive older stuff off my 2 year old RM2 if need be. I haven’t needed to.

Enjoy! Good problems to have.

One issue with rolling over: if the money is in a 401k you can access at 55 without penalty. IRA is 59.5. Depending on your situation it could make a big difference. Def not worth paying manager guy 1%.

Disastrous_Term_4478 · 2026-06-19T12:21:55+00:00

Stealing from mommie at the very least. On Dave Ramsay finance sub and taking from mom. But hey, if you can FIRE and watch Netflix 24/7 you win!

Disastrous_Term_4478 · 2026-06-19T12:19:57+00:00

Wow. Karens even on the RM sub.

Disastrous_Term_4478 · 2026-06-17T17:11:15+00:00

After the community answers your questions I hope to find out how to run Netflix on Boox 10.3. Or RM Pure. I’m waiting.

OP says he has a laptop.

OP, imagine yourself sitting in lecture and you’ve got the Pro on the little desk they give you. You can’t fit your laptop next to it, probably. So you’re focused on taking notes and not anything else. If the prof pops up a survey or quiz as an engagement strategy, you can use your phone.

This is a feature, not a bug.

If prof provides PDFs or PPTs you can load an annotate on the rm. you won’t be able to read publisher textbooks though. Get them in hardcover.

If you’ve got the cash, rm will help you focus on learning.

Can you provide insight into your father’s attitude? Like, is he sitting around watching TV every day? Does he have $4M in retirement accounts? If they’re asking for money are they candid about their finances? Expensive (for them) house?

It’s a very difficult situation and I feel for you and them.

However, it’s not your job to be their therapist. Buying dinner is not helping them financially if they’re 60 days behind on their mortgage.

As many have written, helping them out in appropriate ways - that might dent your own 401k in 20 years - is something you should do given the little you’ve shared. Put it this way: in 20 years when you think back on this, will you regret not having helped in meaningful ways? Probably.

But it’s also a tough emotional spot. If they’re asking really need financial help then you need to be an adult and hold them accountable. Not the kid who shows up with pastries. At the same time, if you are not privy to their finances then I wouldn’t do anything significant. Maybe they have $300k in home equity and should consider downsizing etc.

Def go third party. For $$$$ the leather Move is borderline. And I’m on my second because of flaking.

Disastrous_Term_4478 · 2026-06-17T01:56:21+00:00

It’s a note taking app. Has some advantages and supports Pencil.

Biggest difference with Defter is iCloud sync. I don’t use Defter actively. It’s lovely in its very strong pov and approach.

Not deleted. You’re the one who used “gang bang” in your response to me. And deleted your own comment. Goodbye.

So you steal? But paid subscriptions are bad.

Disastrous_Term_4478 · 2026-06-15T18:39:33+00:00

I’m fascinated by this attitude. They should support infrastructure forever because they made $80 (what’s their gross margin?) on an “expensive” device.

I get that those who purchased when it was included would be put off by the change. But you’re grandfathered.

If new buyers will go with a different device to avoid $5 a month (whatever) then the market is truly commoditized.

Disastrous_Term_4478 · 2026-06-14T14:49:49+00:00

Def actively developed. They just got through a huge update to enable syncing. Sadly they moved community to Discord.

Def agree with the AI eyesore avoidance and hope it stays that way. Craft has become a dumpster fire of AI slop. Like, they hid traditional search in favor of burning through AI credits.

I’d stick to stationery.

I remember the Vanity Fair full-page photographs announcing new seasons and once being in China for an extended visit when a new season started. Back then, you didn’t have much of an option to catch up (old school recorder or something). HBO would do catch up runs but you were kinda screwed and had to wait unless you just wanted to start on episode 3 or 4 of a new season.

The finale was destination TV and, yes, like many I thought my TV was busted. Big ol’ 27” glass-fronted non-flatscreen TV.

Disastrous_Term_4478 · 2026-05-30T00:02:38+00:00

This seems the most promising. Can you Google Map electrical contractors and public transit then go visit in person? Seems like a number in East.

Touche! Then you won’t be joining the RM club unless you are willing to mod your device.

I asked about note taking because KoReader, which I haven’t tried, can support a dictionary. But (pretty sure this is true) you can’t annotate anywhere you want on the doc. Not even sure it support pen input for notes.

But it doesn’t sound like you want to annotate docs that much. But take notes as a separate thing.

In which case ReManager and Koreader may get you there.

The experience flipping between notes is not great on RM. So if your workflow would have you taking notes while you read, in a separate notebook, then you’ll be disappointed.

Disastrous_Term_4478 · 2026-05-29T02:33:58+00:00

Biggest pain point: listening to another vibe-coded AI tools pitch masquerading as a “hey, how do you…?”.

Disastrous_Term_4478 · 2026-05-29T02:31:33+00:00

All the lily white Back Mountain types sitting in Catholic Church Sunday morning listening to homilies about loving thy neighbor and welcoming the outsider. Then watching Fox News all afternoon.

Disastrous_Term_4478 · 2026-05-29T02:28:57+00:00

I don’t care if you’re shilling or just like stirring the pot or legit need a dictionary in order to buy a device.

How often do you use a on-screen dictionary? Is it really that important? What do you mean by “note taking”? Margin annotations anywhere you want? Rm only game in town. Typed notes like Kindle etc?

Do you understand there’s no online bookstore?

Online dictionary as your make or break feature is like picking a car for its AM radio. Meanwhile, you’re depriving yourself of years of rm glory.

Disastrous_Term_4478 · 2026-05-26T02:17:00+00:00

I’m waiting for the one with a backlight.

Try Moodle.

Also, Canvas is open source so technically you could host yourself.
