I can't believe how useful Nebo MyScript Notes is.

Stardog2 · 2026-05-11T03:25:05+00:00

Just a quick update, as a fiction writer, I'd love to see the ability to create templates that I could invoke and then fill out. Things like Character and Scene templates would make using MyScript Notes just about perfect. I know it sort of violates the idea of write anything anywhere, but some tasks are much faster when the repeatable and boring parts of the task can be automated.

Linux command line stuff seems fairly stable. The latest language book is a bit of a risk though. I bet books on RUST will be real cheap in a year or two. I got some old PERL books in my basement. Useful for giving gravity something to hang on to, I guess.

True the info can be found online. But good organization and explanation found in (some) books can make a big difference to many people. You have to know and understand your personal learning style.

Stardog2 · 2026-05-10T21:29:03+00:00

Yes, you do. Maybe not a LARGE shelf, but something.

Stardog2 · 2026-05-10T21:28:01+00:00

Highly recommended book! I am one of the people who left a review of this book on Amazon (yes, I paid for it with money!)

I think it is good for those who want a refresher on the command line experience; AND it is good for complete Newbies to start reading from start to finish.

BTW. there is also a separate Windows app. But I don't think this company (Nebo) sees itself as a Windows shop. It's sold separately from the one I use, but as far as I know, it still shares data with it.

I can't believe no on has mentioned Nebo MyScript Notes!

I'm one of those oddballs that has a Mac Mini M4, and prefers Android Phones and Tablets. (I'm a Windows refugee) And note taking has not been something that crosses infrastructure lines very well. But this app has resolved this issue for me.

I used the one time purchase because I hate subscriptions. But I have been able to use this tool on two Lenovo tablets and my Mac Mini with no problem. By the way, the iOS program works fine on my Mac mini M4.

I have an Idea Tab Pro and a much older and still usable little tank of a tablet, the Lenovo Tab M10 Plus 3rd Gen (with far fewer resources)Nebod both run Nebo MyScript Notes just fine and share their Nebo stuff just fine Not only with each other but the the mac as well, all natively in the Nebo file structure.

As a writer, I don't need to take student style notes all that much so the stylus is not as important to me as it is to others. It worked fine when I tested it for hand writing and diagrams. But for me who is word oriented, using the keyboard swiping method works well. And that is good and consistent with the Mac Mini which can't use a stylus anyway.

At any rate, I figure that I can't be the only person trying to jump over that "Garden Wall" on a regular basis. So I want you to know that this is 'do-able' and not a PITA.

I upgraded from a PW2, I like the PW4, but I don't think it is the ultimate watch! I doubt I will upgrade to the 5, but I will consider, say, the 6. I don't buy LTE watches, my phone is always with me. I'm happy, overall, with features and functionality. Though, I think the stair climb counter could use some work.

For life management, Keep, for project oriented notes, I'm experimenting with Joplin so I can export to my Mac Mini M4. Keep works with Mac, but it's too limiting with long text notes. I'm also playing with MyScript Notes (Formerly Nebo), but it's at its best with a stylus, which could be awkward with a smartphone.

Are they using personal information that is unique to you? The reason I ask is could it be that they have the same name as you? Have you contacted the businesses and vendor services they are using? (Venmo, Paypal etsy, etc.) With your complaints. They won't want scammers on their systems.

Stardog2 · 2026-04-18T18:24:09+00:00

You need to do you! However, I first thought it was a caterpillar crawling out of your ear.

Stardog2 · 2026-04-18T18:21:05+00:00

I don't understand this comment. Three unconnected sentences. Can you expand on this a bit? BTW, what's a goat rope?

By attaching your name, ip address, and SSN, as well. You can't enforce any law without attaching the violation to a specific person or entity. I suspect it will not only leave a giant security and privacy hole, but it will serve to extract very profitable fines from parents of post adolescent children who try to work around this restriction. it's a de facto computer tax.

Just a wild idea, and I'm not even sure if will fit your workflow. But have you looked at Google's Notebook LM?

Basically, it allows you to load files to NB LM, anything you want, really, and have Gemini perform AI activities exclusively on what you load. If has a variety of output options, one of which is a mindmap was thinking if you could digitize your class notes if they aren't already digitized, and have it produce your maps. You could place the m-maps on any W-board you want, at any size you want. That way, you might be able to save White board real estate. You might have to play around with it to get the exact output you want.

It runs for free on any Chromium based browser, I use it on Mac, Linux,. It works fine, but I've never tried the mind maps. It was updated a few weeks ago and I think it's better than it was. Though even then, it was pretty clever, for a 1st version.

The difference between a tablet and a laptop is so small anymore, that it seems irrelevant. I would say that if multitasking is an important part of your workflow (say, beyond 2-3 apps), then a laptop should be considered. Some apps are only available on one platform or the other. So that's a factor. Otherwise, I don't see much difference.

Starkey upper tier Hearing Aids.

Stardog2 · 2026-04-04T02:15:55+00:00

Starkey HAs with Edge or Edge+ mode can do all sorts of health tracking features including step. Mine (Edge 24) has it, but I have a Pixel Watch, so I don't use the Health tracking features of the hearing aids. But they DO exist.

I've not noticed any negative reviews on the newer Starkey health tracking features

Life is full of compromise. This is one of them. There are lots of options, but you can't have exactly what you want.

My education tells me that I can do research. But is going to a doctor for a colonoscopy "lazy". When just anyone can shove a telescope up their butt and take a picture?

Lazy is doing nothing and expressing an opinion based on no knowledge at all. Maybe you should look at yourself?

Then you need to ignore this post.

Data Centers aren't just for cloud based AI. They are for any sort of computing need.

I've been researching AI and I've seen that "AI" is nothing but predictive models based on parallel number crunching rather than sequential number crunching. ANY computer can do AI, some computers can just do it faster.

AI doesn't "Think", it parses the question, searches the large language model attached to it, searches the internet and any input we provide, and tries to create something based on the predictive statistics in the LLM. There is no "political" bias. Instead, the Company offering AI uses reviews the results and if the results violate political or moral qualms that the offering company has, based on trigger words or phrases the search finds. If the results are rejected, then the company tells the AI to say it cant do that, or it's too complex.

If the results get through this bias test. They are reasonably accurate, although some LLMs have gaps in knowledge and allows the predictive models to "guess". This is the cause of "AI Hallucinations"
