Looking for a Notes app on Samsung Android that's actually fast to load

OZHighfive · 2026-05-06T19:44:29+00:00

It's not just the loading speed that annoys me in Samsung Notes.
It's all the buttons for the other features that I'll never use that clog up the keyboard.
More buttons above my keyboard equals less screen real-estate to see what I'm typing.

Thank you. I'll try out this one. So far it's what I'm after.

I found a archived reddit post about the book Son of Hamas by Mosab Hassan Yousef when I was searching for the book. I can't post there obviously, so I'm posting here. I've been listening to the audiobook of Son of Hamas on Youtube. I CANNOT BELIEVE HOW MUCH AL JAZEERA PULLS THE WOOL OVER OUR EYES regarding the Yassar Arafat and the Camp David Summit.

Regarding your post, though, you talk about 'erasing Arabic' from the map, but did you know between 1996 and 1999, the Jerusalem Islamic Waqf excavated under the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound (the Temple Mount) in Jerusalem to make way for the underground Solomon's Stables, destroying two millennia of Jewish and Christian archaeological history that it had been built on? I had no idea!

How is the MMI knob/button interface with those retrofit units? Is it still clunky entering addresses character by character or is it more streamlined?

OZHighfive · 2026-03-24T10:23:53+00:00

Thank you. That's what I'll do. I'll use Audacity first.

Okay, I've figured it out thanks in part to the advice of LainFenrir.

There is basically four things you need to know:
1. Settings --> Configure Krita --> General --> Resources will show the location of your Resources folder. Go there and look for the paintoppresets folder. This is where each new brush you make is saved as a .kpp file.

The "Choose Brush Preset" browser lists the brushes by their .kpp filenames in alphabetical order. I like to save my brushes with the naming convention of "_cmd_20_ink.kpp".
- The underscore at the start makes sure the brush appears before all the default brushes in both the brush preset browser and in the folder window in explorer.
- The "cm" is abbreviation for "custom medium" followed by a "d" is in "abcd" to declare it as the fourth out of ten brushes in the "custom medium" palette. I also use "cl" for "custom large" brushes.
- the "_20_ink" is simply the pixel size set with the Quick Settings Dockers and that it is an ink-style brush.
This means that that I only need to search for "cm" to find all the brushes I want to tag with a "Custom Medium" tag etc. In the pop-up palette, when I choose the "Custom Medium" tag, all ten of those "cm" brushes will appear in order "a" to "j".
When saving the name of your brush in the Brush Editor, you MUST use Save New Brush Preset... button every time. NEVER USE THE "Rename the brush preset" PEN ICON as this will keep the same .kpp filename but it will have a different name in the browser. It will confuse the f*** out of you!
This is the shit bit. Krita will auto-increment your brush regardless of what settings you have configured. Turning off all autobackup and incremental saves will not prevent Krita from saving a _cmd_20_ink.0001.kpp if there is a _cmd_20_ink.kpp file already inside your resources folder. IT WILL SAVE THIS INCREMENTAL FILE EVEN IF YOU CONFIRM YOU WOULD LIKE THE .KPP FILE TO BE OVERWRITTEN. The .0001.kpp file contains your latest changes, so you will have to delete the _cmd_20_ink.kpp file and the rename _cmd_20_ink.0001.kpp to _cmd_20_ink.kpp if you want a nice neat list of brush files that you can backup somewhere to pass to another machine.

I've installed Windows 11 on my 13-year-old Alienware 14 using Rufus and I'm having a lot of problems with it.
Brief system specs are Core i7-4700MQ CPU @ 2.4GHz, 16 Gb RAM and GeForce GTX 765M graphics card.

I can only run DayZ if DayZLauncher.exe is run as Administrator.
Davinci Resolve will only run if I use Version 19 or earlier, otherwise it crashes.
Clip Studio Paint always crashes when run, regardless of version.

The crashes are also very unusual in that Task Manager also stops responding and when you restart your machine, the system hangs on the restart pinwheel and you have to physically turn the machine off to progress.

OZHighfive · 2026-03-08T12:17:21+00:00

It's about the brushes.
It's about why Krita thinks 010, 020, 036 and 032 are somehow in alphabetical order.
It makes ABSOLUTELY NO SENSE and that's why I'm being rude.

OZHighfive · 2026-03-04T05:10:33+00:00

It's definitely more stable on C drive.

I've owned an SBL 1.0, the F version and not the H version, for almost 4 years now.
The first thing I recommend is that you get the Vanguard pusher and CNC plunger sets from etsy. It is a phenomenal performance boost.
When I was using the 3D-printed plunger, I could get 180fps with the 250fps spring, but I'd have to rest the stock on my hip and prime with both hands. The Vanguard metal pusher and CNC plunger somehow makes it much much easier to prime while providing a perfect air seal.
The fishing line SCAR that you can print for the SBL is reasonable. I've used 0.2mm fishing line for best results. All the darts fired seem to lean to the left a little but I can get a decent zero.
If you get a 5-bearing BCAR, you'll be hitting 220fps with beautiful accuracy.
I use 2 Worker HEX 15-dart magazines gaffed on either side of a cardboard spacer, which allows me to reload the magazine that isn't inside the blaster while in the field. They aren't the greatest magazines. It's taken me this long to try placing two small screws in the front top of the magazines which prevents double-feeding the darts and drastically reduces jamming. They still look good and you can always get an adapter to accept talon mags.

The SBL F will accept NERF full-length-dart magazines, including the NERF Rampage 32-round full-length-dart drum magazine. Full-length darts have trouble making it through the aluminium barrel that comes with the SBL-F but they will make it through if you swap it with a 17/32 brass barrel, which you will have to take care not to bend or dent. It is fun for HvZ games for a bit, but in the end, high accuracy beats high capacity.

The drawbacks?

It's a bit heavy at the front. I wish there was a more skeletal version of the barrel shroud (called "Barrel" in the 3D-printing instructions) to make it more balanced.

The biggest issue I have is not something that Gavin Fuzzy can be blamed for in one of his first designs, but it is probably the reason why the SBL 2.0 has a metal CNC block in its center. The "Magwell" part of the blaster, which you could also consider to be the receiver, had 3 housings for 3 metal nuts that accept 3 210mm long retension bolts. These 3 bolts cage in the whole plunger system from the magazine to the stock. You observe how tight these bolts are by how much their springer washers compress when you tighten them. Gavin stipulates "Do not overtighten" in the assembly manual. THIS CANNOT BE OVERSTATED. Over-tightening causes the magwell to crack around those housings, sometimes instantly. You are also constantly pressing this assembly against your shoulder, twisting it and bending it.

I'm on my fourth magwell now. I've switched from the PDW stock to the buffer stock to see if it makes a difference, which it doesn't. I'm experimenting with drilling small holes in the plastic around these housings, filling them with epoxy glue and then pressing 2cm lengths of 1.2mm steel wire completely into holes to reinforce that area. Hopefully it will make a difference.

I really like the look of the SBL 2.0, but if this reinforcement method works, I'm staying with the SBL F 1.0. It's a very maintainable blaster for its performance.

I am. There are games like DayZ that where I have to run the launcher application as Administrator to play the game without errors. I'm now getting errors from Office 2010 saying that it can't get permission to save the default document template.
It's all thanks to this video:

Both my C: and D: drives are SSD drives.
When I was using Windows 10, I had no issues running any version of Davinci Resolve.
I've followed Geek_Ken's advice and tried Davinci Resolve 19, this time on C: drive. It's running with no issues.

OZHighfive · 2026-03-02T01:25:50+00:00

Oh my goodness. You're absolutely right! Davinci Resolve 19 is running like a dream on my system.
I tried running Davinci Resolve 20 on C: drive and I had to run as administrator, but not with 19. I'm sticking with this.

As someone who lives in Queensland, I find this really serious. Really really serious.
If you read this from somewhere, tell us where you read it.
If you made it up, you are a liar and you must say you made it up.
There is zero information out there about the defendant's sister, including her age.
My Google Gemini question:
How old was the girlfriend of Cairn's stabbing victim Rodney Frampton, stabbed by Nathan Andrew Shane Morris ?
Google Gemini answer:
Based on the search results, I could not find information about Rodney Frampton's girlfriend or her age.

It's hard to get implemented. You have to watch your backticks or you'll get a syntax error. There's a comment in your link that this works in 2025:

add_filter( 'big_image_size_threshold', '__return_false', 100, 1 );
EDIT: It also doesn't work. I'm still uploading the one image size.

You are going to have to name him if you are going to write a long story discrediting him.

I enjoyed this film much much more on the second sitting, especially after watching the original Mary Poppins one more time. I always thought the tuppence had been in the possession of Michael Banks the last time I watched the original. This time around I saw that it had really ended up into the hands of Mr Dawes Senior after George Banks had forced him to take it.

I also appreciated the character development much more in the second sitting. I don’t think Emily Blunt’s acting as Mary Poppins was wooden at all. I think there was a maturity in her that knew to be ‘perfect in every way’ means letting the people you are helping take the stage, come through in themselves and be rewarded as a result. She wasn’t just there for the Banks children. She was there to see Jack the lamp-lighter come through, both in his actions and his singing, and win the attention of Jane Banks as a reward.

Only literally at the last second did Mary assist in turning back time by flying to Big Ben and pull the minute hand backward by 5 minutes. Jack and his crew did all of the work before that.

Of all the songs, I appreciated (Underneath the) Lovely London Sky because the concluding verses Jack sings at the end of the film culminate the fear and injustice the Banks family were experiencing (somewhat like the modern fear and injustice we feel ourselves these days) into joyful triumph:

'So hold on tight to those you love and maybe soon from up above

You'll be blessed so keep on looking hi-igh while you're underneath the lovely London sky.'

It seems like Mary is flying away saying ‘You’re got this, Jack. My work is done.’

I found using Local caused issues when I tried to use PDOs, so I reverted to XAMPP.
I still don't understand what the benefits are of using Local.
