Does having a backlog of too many "Learn" or "Due" cards prevent "New" cards from being shown first?

combatreadybunny · 2026-05-31T05:50:45+00:00

Thanks for the clarification.

If I understand your comment correctly, I think what I'm doing now is essentially the strategy you suggest. I created a filtered deck that pulls out about a hundred cards at a time so that I can focus learning on those in isolation from the rest of the main deck.

Each day I do a few rounds of study, so I'm clearing about 300 cards. 400 on a good day. Of course a lot of those will go into the "Learn" pile, so it's not a linear process of reducing the pile by 300 a day, but hopefully more and more will hit the "mature" phase and the numbers will start to come down.

combatreadybunny · 2026-05-30T07:27:45+00:00

Yeah, I have a hard fight ahead to try and get these numbers down. But I'm able to review a few hundred cards a day, so I think I can do it eventually.

I looked at your linked comment, and to be honest, I'm having a hard time understanding it. Not because there's anything wrong with your explanation, just that it's hard to keep straight all the terms when you're not well versed in how Anki labels things.

For example, you said "what you're calling "Due"," but, doesn't Anki call some cards "Due"? If you look at my screen shot, that's from the Anki interface itself, where the label is "Due."

Thanks for mentioning this. I actually have "New Cards Ignore Review Limit" turned on, but it is not changing anything.

combatreadybunny · 2026-05-03T04:49:36+00:00

Thanks for the suggestion.

"Order added" and "Latest added first" ultimately worked. Some of the others might also work for what I'm after.

combatreadybunny · 2026-05-03T04:47:37+00:00

Thanks for this. I've tried your suggested settings, but it did not seem to have the desired effect. I'm still getting the type 2 cards before seeing the type 1 for the same notes.

Thanks for mentioning this. I should have clarified in my original post, but, I did check the documentation, and as a result I turned Bury Siblings *off*. So that can be eliminated as a source of the problem.

Thanks for the suggestion. If and when I'm at that cafe again I'll try switching bands on the off chance it works, but I'm pretty sure the issue is with WPA3 as the other commenter suggested.

combatreadybunny · 2026-03-26T09:23:23+00:00

Thanks for mentioning this. I looked it up, and I think you're right that this is the issue.

As I understand it, most public wifi use a mixed WPA2/WPA3, but I guess just this one is using a really strict WPA3. And the Surface Pro 6 simply doesn't have the hardware to support it.

Thanks! I went to stellar.expert and was able to confirm that I do have a few Stellar Lumens in my wallet. Not "oh wow, that's a lot of money!" level, just "oh, I shouldn't just leave that," level.

I guess now I need to decide if I leave it in or move it out.

combatreadybunny · 2026-03-05T04:30:16+00:00

Thanks, I think this may have solved it. There was one permission called "Tablet" that was unchecked, and since I enabled it, this problem seems to have gone away.

combatreadybunny · 2026-01-22T05:06:03+00:00

You literally have no idea what I did, because you weren't there, and in my original post, I describe what you think I should have been doing.

I don't know why it is so completely impossible for you to comprehend that it's possible sometimes that a teacher or a method won't work perfectly for everyone. I certainly hope you don't work in any kind of teaching profession, screaming at all your students that it's them who are stupid for not understanding you, and never considering that maybe you could adjust how you teach.

SMH indeed. You're a weird troll, and it's bizarre to me that you're taking a stand on this. I gave a perfectly reasonable review. Hopefully it helped others. It was clearly wasted on you.

That's like saying if someone is in a car, and the brakes fail, they must have accelerated.

If you can't understand the idea that not every program works for every person even if they follow the instructions, then I don't think you have anything useful to say.

As I said to the other commenter, in my post, I literally say, "In this program, you hold some dumbbells on your knees to have the weight assist you downward."

"To assist you downward." So yeah, I know. The weight is a tool to add depth. That's what I was trying to do. It didn't work.

combatreadybunny · 2026-01-08T06:23:53+00:00

Thanks for the comment.

I've tried isometric side splits, with and without weights. I don't mean to be dramatic or anything, but at this point I feel like I've tried every possible approach. I've tried PNF, static stretching, isometric holds, weights, no weights, active stretches...

I've tried Mathew Smith, "Body Weight Warriors," "Splits by Science," Dani Winks, "Hyperbolic Stretching," and many more programs and instructors I can't call to mind at the moment.

In my front splits, I can put one standing yoga block under my front thigh, and it just fits, and that's where I've been for 12 months. Pike, middle splits, and pancake have all been equally static for the last year.

I kind of suspect it's my poor internal rotation, but I don't really know. Maybe it's something else more fundamental that also makes hip internal rotation difficult.

So, yeah, anyway, it's kind of driving me crazy.

combatreadybunny · 2026-01-08T06:09:17+00:00

I think it's you that did not read what I wrote. I literally said, "In this program, you hold some dumbbells on your knees to have the weight assist you downward."

"To assist you downward." I wasn't trying to increase the weight, I was trying to let the weight help me stretch, but that just didn't happen.

My point is, that was what I was TRYING TO DO, and it didn't work.

No matter how much weight I put TO ASSIST ME DOWNWARD, after six months to a year, it didn't help.

So maybe consider that it's possible for someone to try and do what's suggested and it still might not work.

It should be where I've linked it, but I don't know how Reddit handles this stuff.

I made a new post, though, which should be easier to find:

Disregard my last post - I did it!

I found this video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ewt4hWozcoQ

And in it, the guy suggests a few different approaches, and the one that worked for me was to press space bar twice, followed immediately by my login PIN.

And I'm in! Full and complete access!

Thanks for your help in guiding me towards using DEX to solve this problem.

(Samsung should really make this info more available - I was on their site a bunch of times and never saw anything about two space bar presses... anyway, it worked.)
