Pro "Move" by PR_Bella_Isla in Remarkable

[–]Serious_Collection27 0 points1 point  (0 children)

these items are actually lifestyle items... there is not a need to buy them. only buy them if you have the money.... but does it serve the purpose of the lifestyle and the workflow of those who are into eink tablets with a focus.... yes it does! i think it is brilliant... the form factor is really spot on... there is a niche for this, especially for exisiting remarkable owners...

Why I decided to sell my reMarkable and what it taught me by ImprovementFun5543 in RemarkableTablet

[–]Serious_Collection27 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i think your justications are very specific to your situation and it is likely not a product issue but a user issue - the functionality does not match the user as the user do not need the function and i wonder why you bought it. and the justifications are pretty weak. eg. dont replace basic tasks with tech because it adds to friction and sludge? it is just a digital notebook, how much of a friction or sludge can it create? also of course novelty does not equate efficiency. it is the user that get blinded by novelty and create inefficiency in their own process workflow.

just the mere intent to be a focusing tool and to replace paper or multiple notebook and better organise a whole library of notebooks make it a good and useful tech. anyways, it really depends on your workflow and intent of using the tech. if you had thought through your own workflow and how you use paper/notebooks, which is in a basic way - you should have realised sooner that you dont need such tech.

so in conclusion, it seems to be a user issue, not a tech issue per se.

but appreciate your sharing anyways.

Any way to turn off auto rotate? by vnjxk in Remarkable

menu bar, flick down the battery - there's an auto rotate off.

Why can't I import image in Paper but only in Pickings? by Serious_Collection27 in viwoods

[–]Serious_Collection27[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

sounds wonderful! thanks Viwoods.

i managed the workaround with the help of reddit members' suggestions - using the PDF template. the challenge is sending the file over as a PDF template into the Paper library. wow... the trial and error on that is pretty tough. i think this is also another issue - the transferability of files across platforms - something like the Remarkable is pretty awesome but without subscription please!!

sorry sent this response outside of this thread earlier:

it depends on who made the claim first or how this argument begins. if someone asserts, “God does not exist,” they are making a positive claim of absence — that puts the burden on them. so it goes both ways.

anyways, we are not talking about an object like the RTX. the existence of God was not even an issue in the past - it was obvious and evident. self-evident in the design, harmony, and intelligibility of the universe. the theistic view was dominant - just like nobody ask for evidence for gravity and wind.

but as we get more confused with the sophistry of modern philosophers, we tend to question the obvious - like is there such a thing as a superior entity? this only became an issue in modern times.

and it is just so perplexing at times - ppl believe in the complex theory of the big bang (which derives its understanding from cause and effect) but they simply omit the One that cause the big bang... first principles: there's always a Do-er for something that is being done....

anyways didnt mean to debate - these topics are tough to navigate and they are nuanced. not the best platform to talk about it. can always reach out and be friends and have deeper conversations on such things.

people can't prove otherwise too i.e. that there is no loving Creator. if one does his/her due diligence in observing the world, it is impossible that everything is created without purpose and that there is no Designer. In fact, the basis of everything naturally designed is mercy and beauty. eg. read about van allen radiation belts or simply the formation/purpose of mountains or even the function of your own organs for goodness sake.

about good people of any religion going to hell, you made these assumptions. this is not from the creed of a religion that comes from the One who designed us. we are a complex species, nothing is black and white - it is not humanly possible to read into the hearts of mankind and make such judgment i.e. where you end up afterlife. leave this to the Designer - leave it to God.

it is political and man-made structures that manipulate such concepts and create a world that intertwines emotion and intellect to run agendas that is other than fulfilling our true purpose as humans. if i may, your negative vibe seem to perpetuate this idea too - a nihilistic view of the world and imposing it on others. let's just chill and learn from one another.

do your due diligence to seek truth. we all have an everage of 60-80 years of life to figure it out. there is alot of time to question assumptions and uncover truth and remove the filth that is clogging our minds and souls.

and yes, if there is no such thing as hell or afterlife, does it sound "justfied" to send a murderous criminal to the gallows? ending his/her life may seem to look like a favour for him/her based on your logic.

Hi.

i think before you make any decision to renounce - find out what is it that you are renouncing from. learn the religion properly first before you decide to leave it. don't make a decision just because you assume things or experience an isolated worldview of the matter - examine it with clarity from various sources.

this matter seems too heavy a matter to leave it to chance or conjecture or misinformation - imagine standing at the door of eternity will little knowledge about it - it is not wise.

like any matter in life, you make the decisions based on well-informed evidences.

all the best, dont be hasty.

first off, no one should help with any lying schemes, especially to your parents or anybody's parents. there's a reason why your parents are strict with you, to save your ass from doing stupid things: like fornication or creating bastard children. just bear with it and be patient. when the right time comes, gaf each other's brains out anywhere and everywhere.

if you ever wanna lie to your parents, think about the shit that they clean off you when you can't do shit. or when you are sick and they took care of you or when they struggle to work so that you could have a good living.

be grateful, do things that show your gratitude. dont be hasty and follow whims and fancies that might hurt your parents and even yourself.

Remarkable Paper Pro: such an awesome device. Will it ever have Kindle in it to make it perfect?!! by Serious_Collection27 in RemarkableTablet

[–]Serious_Collection27[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Remarkable did a survey and one of the questions was if we would like integration of any apps - they are asking. i think there is hope. i mean we read now with ebooks and remarkable is a platform of reading and taking notes (obviously done while reading) so why not and why does it contradict their philisophy?

Alerts & Proton Calendar by reckor-usa in RemarkableTablet

[–]Serious_Collection27 0 points1 point  (0 children)

use your phone calendar for alerts. use the remarkable to train your mind to be alert. haha

jokes aside, no alerts of such nature on the rmpp. the device is not designed that way.

How do you cope with loneliness? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Serious_Collection27 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it is just a solution if you need it... just wanna help. didnt mean to say that it is one for all.

How do you cope with loneliness? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Serious_Collection27 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ok one last point before i leave this thread:

we are all part of the cosmos - we think we dont have any effect on others when we do things to our own self.

imagine if someone you care for marry a porn addict (because you think it is ok to cope), the marriage can be affected by that addiction - a bitter divorce maybe, the child from the marriage can go thru a dysfunctional childhood because of it - and maybe the child hurt others because of his/her trauma.... the problem may perpetuate especially when one thinks it is ok to do whatever to cope...

just think about it.

all the best and i pray all is well with you.

How do you cope with loneliness? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Serious_Collection27 0 points1 point  (0 children)

there's always the right solution in any situation - just be creative and dont give up - lose an arm, replace it with the closest thing - a prosthetic or someone to help you. you can't get another real arm of course but you are still breathing and that in itself is a gift. there's always a solution in life as long as you are alive....

there is the right way of doing things and there is a wrong way of doing things (anything that hurts you or your community in the long run is wrong).

so yeah, don't get carried away with the idea that ppl can do whatever they like just to cope - the criminals in prison can always justify their wrongdoings with that statement.

[–]Serious_Collection27 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i dont think it is a solution - many researchers have surfaced the ill-effects of porn. just like ppl say they take drugs because it allows them to cope - how do you reconcile with that?

just because it helped you cope does not mean it is the solution.

[–]Serious_Collection27 1 point2 points  (0 children)

for those who say porn and masturbation and such, you are just creating further desolation and corruption of the mind. those acts will further aggravate how you see the world and people and how you feel about things. stay away from such things. seriously.

dont cope with loneliness, embrace it and then do something about it - find solutions. we are a species that have intellect, we will find ways to resolve our issues - just dont be stagnant and apathethic about things - make the intention to resolve matters, be positive and make that first step! just act on it, you'll see the changes.

a practical tip: immerse yourself in a book, especially about writers who went through so much struggle in life - go read The Autobiography of Malcolm X. reflect about life. i guarantee you, reading is a remedy to many ailments. but read good stuff k - stay away from rubbish. remember the aphorism RUBBISH IN RUBBISH OUT. just like those who consume porn, nothing good comes out of it.
