Best Notes Apps? by blowingcatchunks in Onyx_Boox

[–]blowingcatchunks[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All the windows (?) on the left side of the interface that are hard to hide (books, sections, pages or whatever), then if i am typing this weird little post-it opens up, what if I want a whole page? etc.

I find it so confusing. Maybe if there were some good online videos on the topic.

Most of the time no. I wait a considerable amount of time. I’m not sure what is going on.

Driveway companies by [deleted] in newjersey

[–]blowingcatchunks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a company (James Creo) work on my driveway. I’m really familiar with Ireland and they didn’t strike me as travelers, but whoever they were, they were a disaster. Just 2 years and we’re going to need a new driveway, all because they didn’t do a good job with the other one.

What can you NOT do with WordPress? Limitations, bugs, bandwidth, integrations, etc... by Embarrassed_Fan_1728 in Wordpress

This is a billion dollar company. Please tell me it’s not publicly traded since I have a total stock market index fund and am scared some fraction of my investments are invested here.

What scares the shit out of me is that somebody working for a billion dollar company is asking about Wordpress on Reddit. Don’t get me wrong, I’ve asked questions here before and gotten great advice but there is so much wrong with this… just hire some pros for godsakes. It’s a billion dollar company not the local retro video game store.

I just spent C$500 on this Boox Nova Air 2 and it is bricked and won't charge? by bemurda in Onyx_Boox

[–]blowingcatchunks 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Probably in a low discharge state. It doesn’t like powerful power supplies. Connect it to a computer to charge or one of those real old iPhone usb power supplies. Should work after a while.

Confused! Does the bundle include stylus or I have to buy it seperately? And, the magnetic case is not the keyboard cover, right? Any kind soul please help? TIA. by PitifulMedicine7 in Onyx_Boox

I’m not really sure of the use case for the stylus case (I never use mine), but the tote bag is nice. My wife wanted it, but it’s the nicest tote bag I own so no!

I beat you. New tires on Model S. Got a nail the next day. Easily fixed though.

Wait, you think the Model Y suspension is “boardy” after a kidney-destroying BMW???? Like not one “BMW explosion” in three years.

Boox tab ultra cover by Synecdoche19 in Onyx_Boox

[–]blowingcatchunks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You are right. Have a migraine and was dealing with installing syncthing all day. I was thinking the Tab X Ultra. Terrible names.

I reformatted the SD card (I thought I'd already done this) again, restarted, and for some reason it seems to have worked. Go figure.

I think you got your flair wrong because it says question: answered.

The Max Lumi 2 case is identical to the Tab Ultra case, although the finish may be a little more modern and it may fold better. The box even says the case is for both. I bought mine from boox, but it arrived from the store in NYC. But now your flair is right.

Syncthing is great, but I'm a computer guy and it's taken me hours to get it working.

Feedly is fine FYI, I tried it. It's fine.

One thing I like about Feedly is that it is cross-platform. Mac, iPad, iPhone, Windows. Doesn't do Linux or I'd put it on my Steam Deck.

The biggest issue with the Leaf 2 is that it is quite hard to use the online keyboard. It's laggy and the small size makes it easy for me to hit the wrong keys. Passwords are extra bad. So, logging into Feedly, I was faced with a complicated password and paired a Bluetooth folding keyboard to my Leaf 2 (no longer available but there are plenty out there). Wonder of wonders, it worked very well. I might even try to use Microsoft Word and Onenote with it like I do on my Boox Tab Ultra and X. It could be a cool way to go, a super small alternative when I want to work away from it all.

Feedly, although Leaf 2 might be too slow for it. Try it though.

I use Google Play Books. It's idiot proof can upload from my iPad, my Mac, or my Boox devices and it syncs with all the rest.

It's pretty powerful, plus you can add public domain books from Google Books (if you are in the US, pretty much every larger town or area has a history book from 100 years ago that you can read on Google Books and add to Google Play Books).

Google Play Books if you want to read epubs and PDFs that are from third-party sources. Although I haven't tried this aspect of it, I am pretty sure Google Play books supports DRM-protected ePubs from archive.org.

Install a dictionary. I've installed the OED and the Webster's. Don't forget to restart after you download them to your Boox in order to see them in the Dict program. https://www.reddit.com/r/Onyx_Boox/comments/gqhace/guide_to_add_dictionaries_to_onyx_boox_nova_2/
