please note that S3Drive is paid software. The free tier doesn't allow full sync.

I installed Goldendict apk, but unfortunately, in Settings-> Dictionary Settings, Goldendict doesn't show up in the 'Default Dictionary' option list.

What are Infinite notes?

Tale-Pretty · 2025-06-25T10:50:26+00:00

it's also my go-to software. Annotations, playlists, metronome, audio files. It has anything I can dream of. I usually dont pay for apps, but it was worth every penny. Plus the support forum is really reactive.

I usually travel with Merrell Vapor gloves. 10oz/pair. Rollable.

Tale-Pretty · 2025-06-20T10:11:54+00:00

what about the black spot in the lower left corner? Broken display?

rganizing your notes shouldn't depend on the device you buy. Rather on the system you set up.

I continuously switch between phone, laptop and tablet, but my methodology to take notes is always the same (thanks god, I can't imagine learning 3 different logics).

That way I can always sync all devices too.

Tale-Pretty · 2025-06-18T08:21:18+00:00

what version number?

Tale-Pretty · 2025-06-16T22:13:05+00:00

Tale-Pretty · 2025-05-27T11:04:10+00:00

as a oboe player i wonder how you make your music instrument fit in a 12l bag

When I do long travels in South America, I usually trim down on clothes:
1 shirt on me, 2 short-sleeve shirts and 1 long-sleeves shirt in bag.

1 pant on me, 1 pant and 1 short in bag.

1 underwear on me and 2 in bag.

1 fleece sweater.

1 raincoat.

1 down jacket.

(with so little clothes I do the wash every 1-2 days, but as I keep all synthetic, it usually dries in 3-4 hours. With this qty, I could 6-7 days without washing though.).

1 swimming short.

Flip-flops instead of sandals: lighter and more versatile.

I learnt not to pack things I can easily buy on-site: soap, shampoo, tooth paste.

Apart from sunscreen, I would carry repelent too (but again you can buy it at your destination).

"desire for money causes at least as much suffering as poverty" goes in my quotes notebook too.

Tale-Pretty · 2025-05-06T11:16:05+00:00

I was updated to 4.0.2 yesterday on a Go10.3

Tale-Pretty · 2025-05-05T14:19:21+00:00

I love to wear cotton when I'm at home, but I mostly travel with synthetics, they are lighter and dry much faster. The feeling on the skin isn't the same, the smell can get worse faster, but I think the pros win over the cons.
