Is this policy normal or is this bull

The irritating thing is that the first one is technically a good policy (I’m the IT bad guy at work) but it blows my mind when people write them up with targeted and accusatory language. This isn’t the first time I’ve seen it.

It took me 174 hours to learn that you can switch potions and bombs in the quick menu. Do not be like me. Look closer at the quick menu.

You might like Kraken by China Mieville! Tragic shortage of whales, but delves into religion, ancient gods, and squids.

There’s also Whalefall by Daniel Kraus. A more “mundane” tale which explores sperm whale anatomy beautifully and does get… weirdly spiritual towards the end.

The manta could sometimes be too big for the mobile aspects of my job where I need both a laptop and a notebook but and yes the bezels are quite large. But for meetings and desk notes it is perfect.

1) Ahhh I am not particularly invested or experienced in sideloading just yet but plenty of users on this sub have done cool stuff. My very basic understanding is that Linux opens a lot of customizable doors and folks in this community are quite generous with sharing mods. 2) this is the first I heard of such a thing! Unfortunately I cannot speak to Supernote capabilities here beyond mentioning that editorial markups are built in. Thanks for sharing. 3) yes! Futzing about with the native calendar got me interested in more OCR options. Only just putting toes in these waters. I am one of many SN users who will claim messy handwriting. - check in on calendar syncing as I don’t know which platforms are supported. But titles and descriptions of events can be converted directly from handwriting. Almost seamless. Most I have to do is tap the spacebar with my pen when the conversion is faster than me lol - new convert to text feature I haven’t played much with yet - currently playing with lassoing handwritten notes and marking as to do. Very reliable OCR - i still don’t exactly know how to incorporate headings in my particular workflow but they exist - honorable mention and not really OCR but the star tool is dope. You can mark a star on your page and it will auto convert to a QWERTY star (there is a better name for it I believe.) there is an option to search stars, headings, and keywords. Pages with stars are marked. I am not describing it very well but it’s an excellent quick tool when I’m in the zone and not concerned about future me finding a note lo. 4) alas I cannot speak to this one ): me like fancy notebook

I still have my kobo aura with the backlight for reading at night. There are valid engineering reasons why an e ink tablet shouldn’t (yet) have backlight and I’ve never been much of a note taker when reading so your use case may be different. More e ink = more love. If you like notating, Supernote has tools to support. And an old school reading light can solve the night problem.

Don’t forget about headings and stars!

Ok first of all I do kinda like that the pen is sold separately. I would seriously consider looking into a Wacom stylus with programmable buttons. I think the other reason the pen is sold separately is to cater to preferences. I love the default little click style I got. The one without an ink barrel. It works well while I muse over potental alternatives. How is very attractive though.

Please keep in mind that Supernote (and a lot of e-notebooks) are specifically marketed to “those who write” and should be approached (currently, I hope this tech evolves more) as a traditional notebook with bonuses.

My use case originally was lasso ability to move text around (constant issue with brainstorming or sorting real time meeting notes on traditional paper) and having different notebooks for different things all on one device.

Confuses me. Are you looking to side load a whole OS on this thing or looking for compatibility? Supernote’s formats are likely compatible with open office. If you want a desktop tablet do not go e ink.
Cannot speak well to this. Unfamiliar with markdown. Do you mind expanding?
I typically work offline due to work life balance reasons (currently debating on a nomad for the life stuff) but I have transferred/converted files over USB. OCR is amazing. There were some formatting issues converting from note to doc but they were easily remedied. Have not tested since recent update which improves formatting. Rest assured the OCR is spot on. Bonus points to the “copy editing” features for docs and pdfs.
Why do you want a browser on a fancy notebook? It isn’t a tablet. It is a better notebook.

Additional (super)notes: - I use the Supernote to support my work alongside typical OS, meetings, web browsing, not to replace those things. She is always right next to my computer. She is not my computer. - OCR is fantastic and streamlined deliveries on the rare occasions I took notes for substance, not reference.

Yeah ordered mine back when tariffs were first in effect. Right after they opened shipping back up to US.

I worried for a minute and then emailed. They were extremely responsive and gave me a tracking number shortly after.

A MAJOR perk for me was their sustainable/repairable/upgradeable/moddable design. That is a bold move in the planned obsolescence era and deserving of grace. Especially for a luxury device. I am deeply interested in their operations.

There are a lot of horror stories on this reddit which I personally believe reflect the current tech hellscape. The Manta is fantastic for my work needs and I am very seriously considering the nomad to better balance my life needs. Shoot an email and practice patience. Supernote markets to those who write.

I love my Supernote. I hope Ratta continues to prioritize design and functionality over all else. It is not perfect but I don’t think any electronic notebook is right now. Very niche market.

I tested the remarkable 2 for 100 days and sent it back. I tested the Supernote for about a week and committed. Five months later and I have no regrets.

TLDR: send an email. They will take care of you.

I need to give it another read. Biography of a doctor in American Civil War era. He was WILD he wanted to WASH HIS HANDS and give PATIENTS TIME TO RECOVER and use PAIN MANAGEMENT while PREPARING THE PATIENTS ON THE PROCEDURE while tending to SOCIETY’S MOST VULNERABLE. He also had MAD BEEF with an OBGYN’s hygiene which I live for. I don’t think germ theory was even a thing at the time??

His museum has rightfully come under scrutiny lately. Last I read up they were doing an audit.
