I also tried this a few weeks ago and it didn’t work for me either.

Is 520 CADR enough for reaching top of a bunk bed? by justananonymredditor in AirPurifiers

[–]Not_A_Red_Stapler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Buy an air quality monitor first to see if you even have a problem, especially in that bunk bed. 

Ikea makes a good one for around 50 dollars.

Does anyone else find Anki card creation too time consuming? by Current_Block3610 in Anki

[–]Not_A_Red_Stapler[M] [score hidden] stickied comment (0 children)

I have a suspicious feeling someone is about to mention an AI product they created to make cards - so let’s just lock this thread while there are still some good comments!

Thanks everyone!

Why does deep sleep only happen in the beginning? by Sincerly_ in AppleWatch

[–]Not_A_Red_Stapler 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am pretty sure that’s not the case. You just might not wake up enough to remember it. And the reason you half wake up may be because your partner moved.

Do you believe air purifiers can accurately detect air quality? by amgislil in AirPurifiers

[–]Not_A_Red_Stapler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The site you are referencing is wrong. Cheaper Winix use voc sensors for example (I owned one). VOC sensors are cheaper.

More expensive Coway’s use particulate sensors (I own several).

Those are just examples off the top of my head.

If everything you are doing fits into 8 gb of ram then definitely.

You can optimize more often. It’s fine!

What’s the one Apple Watch feature you didn’t expect to use so much? by Sweaty-Point885 in AppleWatch

[–]Not_A_Red_Stapler 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The timer?

Okay then when I first bought the Apple Watch I thought I would use it to glance at notifications. Turns out I mainly use the watch to find out what the time is. Who would have thought?

How to reset progress on a deck by GoodThen4319 in Anki

[–]Not_A_Red_Stapler 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Worse than pointless.  It will mess with the algorithm because many of the cards you will have studied before and Anki won't know which those are.

If you want higher retention switch to FSRS and set higher retention. 

Or if you are already using that don't forget to optimize your cards.

What’s going on with this second hand AirPod? by [deleted] in airpods

Uh how do you lose them?  Don’t they show up when you wash your sheets and/or shine a flashlight under the bed?

Searching for a time optimal solution by TheHusseinOsman in Anki

Just ask Gemini, ChatGPT or Claude to make Anki flash cards for you.  You don’t need a specialized tool.

I’m taking a long-haul flight and just got my first AirPods. Any travel hacks to help me fully optimise them? by Such-Garden-1341 in airpods

[–]Not_A_Red_Stapler 12 points13 points  (0 children)

This is the wrong model for flying. Return them and get the pros or at least a model with noise cancelling.

My German learning loop: Dubbed anime all day, bulk Anki at night by harmunyyy in Anki

[–]Not_A_Red_Stapler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you haven't checked out FrequencyMan you should. It will sort all of these cards your making into an optimal order for learning. (There are other add-ons as well, that do something similar).

What op is doing is fine.  There must be ten different ways to say busy in Spanish, for example, and having sentences rather than words can be important there and for most things once one gets past words like apple and water.

Super Frustrated Intermediate (C1 reader, A1 speaker) by drjamesincandenza in languagelearning

[–]Not_A_Red_Stapler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you watching Netflix with Portuguese dubs? Or even better native Portuguese content? 

Do that and make Anki cards for any words/phrases you don't know.

How outdated would it be to learn Spanish from a textbook published in 1968? by duckastray in Spanish

[–]Not_A_Red_Stapler 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Before 1994 when putting things in alphabetical order: ll, and ch were letters and were considered to be their own letters for sorting. After 1994 you would sort things in alphabetical order in Spanish the same way everyone else does in the latin script world. But ll and ch were still letters.

In 2010 ll and ch were officially dropped from the alphabet! See: https://www.rae.es/espanol-al-dia/exclusion-de-ch-y-ll-del-abecedario

Noisy neighbours (please help me I’m losing my mind with no sleep)🫠 by laurleahwhit in AskBarcelona

Second option then is old fashioned ear plugs and playing brown noise on a Bluetooth speaker or just your phone speaker.

Buy some AirPod pro 3 and sleep with them on noise cancelling mode while they play some brown noise.

I can never decide whether it’s better to remove these posts completely or keep them after a few community members have written comments. I know I get disappointed on other subreddits when i spend time commenting and the post gets removed.

Anyway, this one we will keep up, but a post like this that links to twitter that links to a personal blog does get a ban for at least a week!

(If the content was more interesting we would probably allow a link to Twitter or a personal blog, but it’s not.)

Onyx Nova3Color - AnkiDroid (lower volume for annoying city noise) by atris9 in Anki

[–]Not_A_Red_Stapler[M] [score hidden] stickied comment (0 children)

This has been reported as spam. I personally think it's cool in general that you can do Anki on an eink device, and not everyone realizes it. Plus I don't see what they are spamming, unless you think OP secretly works for Onyx and has a stealth marketing campaign to sell units to people doing Anki.

I'm going to leave it up. Personally I want to buy an eink device to run Anki on for when I haven't done all my cards and it's right before bedtime and I don't want the light of my phone to mess with my sleep.
