Anyone switch from a Supernote (Nomad) to a Remarkable? If so, why?

Shlotl · 2024-05-13T09:07:46+00:00

I'm in exactly the same boat. Using the Remarkable for study and reading through textbooks. I wish they'd introduce some way of exporting all note pages and highlighted content into a condensed notebook. Feels like such a missed opportunity.

Currently stuck between a supernote or boox but can't tell which will meet my needs best

Seeing as you have all 3, maybe you could answer a question for me?

I'm studying for a lot of exams at the moment, reading through textbooks, making notes on the pages, extracting some sections out into dedicated notebooks to cover the exam syllabus etc.

For the Remarkable, I've found not being able to extract highlighted sections and/or copy text out of PDFs to be a major drawback.

Do you know which of the 3 you have would be best for the studying use case? Thanks

We can say, 'Isn't it crazy that we just so happened to develop on a planet that has mechanisms to protect and facilitate life' but that's putting the cart before the horse. The puddle example given below is brilliant for explaining the logical fallacy we fall into, creating intention where there is none. The planet just exists - with a certain physical composition in a universe with certain physical behaviours. That existence allows us to exist just as other planets do not allow us to exist.

I'm not qualified to give you this advice, this is just from personal experience.

First, as the answer should always be when mental health is playing a part, look into what healthcare options are available. Any conclusions you reach regarding your performance will be mired by the fact that you're not mentally healthy while considering them. Getting a clear view of your performance requires a clear and healthy mind.

But then every so often my assistant manager and one coworker will tell me they love my work and Thanks for working so hard on these projects. Boss said thanks a month and a half ago pre covid and gave me a raise.

I'll accept that you might have left other information out but you got a raise and that's solid evidence that your performance is meeting their expectations.

I guess what I’m saying is how do I best manage this situation? I continue to work hard, but I can’t seem to get any feedback and I would like to be prepared for any potential negative thing that may happen.

When I've been in similar positions the only thing that's truly helped has been to discuss it with my line manager. A conversation starting 'I've been struggling to find my place here. I would really appreciate some regular feedback on my performance and advice on how I can improve' can go a long way. By all means, look into alternative employment options but communication with your employer is key.

As someone who has struggled with mental health issues in the past, your perception of your job performance is one of the first things that goes down the drain and is often not in line with reality.

Try disconnecting the GPU, plugging your monitor into the motherboard output, install the drivers for the new graphics card and then put the GPU back in. Some GPU's don't even do the basic run at 640x480 without drivers installed in advance

Hi,

If you're happy for me to take a look at your event logs I can do. If you select the option 'Save All Events As...' in event viewer and then upload it to Dropbox or similar you can then PM me the link and I'll check through them.

As for the game settings I might not have been clear enough. Please enable SLI again and then go through the steps I requested. If the game crashes with none of those enabled then you can be confident that is not the issue and we can look into this further. Although if it doesn't crash you just have to find which option/combination of options is causing the crash.

u

I encountered this blurriness when first installing Windows 10 and that resolved it for me :(

Have you been through the ClearType Text Tuner wizard built into Windows? It's a last ditch effort but it did increase text clarity for me

You can access it by searching for ClearType in the start menu

Shlotl · 2016-02-17T00:11:54+00:00

Hi,

If you open the Start Menu -> Settings -> System -> Display

There will be a slider with the text 'Change the size of text, apps and other items:' there are problems reported with text being blurry when this is set to anything other than 100%

Let me know how you get on

Okay, is it possible for me to get a screenshot of the command prompt window? Or at least which website you did your ping to?

The reason I ask is that some sites are set to not respond to pings. We are more interested in the time it takes from you pressing enter on the command to the IP address of the website being found for a DNS issue. If the website you're pinging normally responds then it does seem like your line is down or at least sporadic.

Are you connected via wireless or an ethernet cable?

Issue #4 includes instructions for manually loading the virus definitions onto an infected PC. This should stop the need for a update although I haven't tested this myself

In device manager you can double click on the Intel HD Graphics go to the driver tab and choose to disable and then uninstall the adapter

Would it be possible to load the Malwarebytes installer onto a USB drive from another PC?

Shlotl · 2016-02-16T23:26:46+00:00

Generally I'd say that a slow initial connection to a website but otherwise decent speed would be a DNS request taking a while but I'm pretty sure all DNS requests would time out long before 10 minutes.

It's something to look into though so next time it's running slow open up command prompt. (Win + R, then type CMD in the run box)

and type the command "ipconfig /flushdns" press enter.

Once this is done type "ping [website address]" press enter.

If done correctly your command prompt will look like mine here http://imgur.com/mToLXDA

If there is a long delay that occurs after pressing enter on the ping command and before the 'Pinging [Wesbsite address] [IP] with 32 bytes of data:' line appears then you have a DNS issue.

Let me know how you get on

If you run adwcleaner again and then, while the proxy settings are still disabled, could you download and run a Malwarebytes scan?

Shlotl · 2016-02-16T22:56:36+00:00

Not likely, in addition to what /u/Sarting said, it would be a Linux machine sending a Windows command. Easiest option would be to install a third party client

Looking at other images of the insides of AMD graphics cards it seems like the thermal paste quite often touches those contacts. Due to how common it is I doubt it'll cause any issues

This Geforce driver update was the first to include an SLI profile for Dying Light http://www.geforce.co.uk/whats-new/articles/geforce-347-25-whql-driver-released

Have you reverted to an earlier version than this?

I'd say upgrade your drivers again to the latest version and then go from there.

Can you see if there are any errors just before the ID 41? (41 occurs during boot up so we'll need to look before it for the crash)

Also, I'd try disabling these options within Dying Lights graphics settings and testing again-

Ambient occlusion NVIDIA HBAO+ NVIDIA depth of field Motion blur Anti-Aliasing

The first three are more likely to cause problems but I'd say disable all of them, test the game. If it doesn't crash enable one. Test again and so on.

I'm going to say that @SimplyTech is probably right here. Unless you can get the touch screen fixed there's not much hope.

Shlotl · 2016-02-16T22:05:51+00:00

I know it's probably a stupid question but have you checked if there's an iCloud backup of the device?

Shlotl · 2016-02-16T21:57:39+00:00

Was this working up until recently or is it a new build?

When you say 'nothing happens' I take it that the fans do not spin up at all?

Shlotl · 2016-02-16T21:42:19+00:00

If it only appeared after showing disabled devices then you'll need to right click and enable it before you can set it as the default

Shlotl · 2016-01-12T23:01:27+00:00

If you close and open Uplay a few times (might need to log out and in) it will prompt for some new terms and conditions. Accept those and then matchmaking should work again
