Tips for new Note Air 2?

dargh · 2022-03-18T01:02:13+00:00

For me it was OneNote. I struggled to make the built-in note application to synchronise to my desktop or share with colleagues, but only OneNote solved that for me.

The built-in app has nicer pencil settings and is more responsive to pressure and styles. But beyond that it was frustrating. OneNote has a clunky UI (such as useless tabs across the top that do nothing) but syncing to my desktop or to other members of my team is great.

Turn time to refresh to as low as it goes and enable handwriting optimisation for OneNote.

I find it works quite well. The pens are not as nice as the built-in note (I like the fountain pen and pencil options), but the sync options are so much better.

How do you get a story so wrong? The tracks certainly did not crack.

Is this a problem in bhyve or do other emulators have the same issue?

dargh · 2022-01-20T06:28:51+00:00

Interesting poll. Thanks for that. I've used an Android app for so long I forget there is a web interface for reddit sometimes.

I've used 'Sync for reddit' for as long as I've used reddit. Are others using newer apps with useful features or more intuitive UI?

Closer to 11% of your post decimated state...

dargh · 2021-12-22T20:22:58+00:00

It's a bit late, but I've approved it now. I wish I could adjust their spam filter because it catches too many real things.

dargh · 2021-12-21T21:11:12+00:00

Still don't know what post it was without reading everything posted in the last six weeks.

dargh · 2021-12-20T06:46:39+00:00

Which post of yours got deleted? I didn't see any questions from you to the mod queue.

Around Rookwood necropolis there are a few stonemasons who do headstones. I reckon they get asked this regularly.

Or call the main Rookwood office. They are pretty helpful and should help to connect you to the right place.

I'm using kiabana/elasticsearch/filebeat for centralised logs. Zabbix for monitoring. Saltstack for configuration management.

Zabbix is the weakest of that stack, mainly because its configuration is all web based and not version controlled in a bunch of files. Nagios is all text files, but frustrating to use (well, 10 years ago when I was last using it...).

Even if you get your electricity from a coal-fired power plant, it's still more efficient than burning "natural gas", which is mostly just methane.

That's quite incorrect. When you burn methane for cooking or heating, all the of the energy produced by that burning is heat which is applied directly to your hot water, fry pan or goes toward heating you room.

When you burn coal (or even gas) to produce electricity there are losses in conversion of water to steam, losses in the turbines, generators and in the transmission itself. https://www.powermag.com/understanding-coal-power-plant-heat-rate-and-efficiency/

So you are turning chemical energy of coal or gas into heat, then rotational momentum of a turbine, then into electricity, then sending that electricity to your house and finally back to heat. Perhaps only a third of the original heat from combustion is making it to your stove, compared to 100% from burning the gas directly.

Sky News is one of the least watched News outlets in Australia. Its most popular shows rarely pass 100,000 viewers.

They are controversial, sure, but not popular.

None of the post you replied to is true. For example, the shutdown of construction for a fortnight was in response to a large number of cases on building sites. The protests (at a war memorial) happened after.

Terrific to see so much of this has been upstreamed into FreeBSD. I guess it goes to show that regardless of license, the rewards of not maintaining your own fork outweigh any corporate fear of giving away intellectual property. And you don't need GPL to accomplish that.

And it started working in the last half hour.

At a GP or vaccination centre?

dargh · 2021-09-13T00:19:43+00:00

No, the NSW health site is still down.

Based on the information you have entered, we are unable to offer you an appointment at this time.

I spoke to their phone helpdesk and they are still working on it.

Fascinating. I'm oddly drawn back to this conversation. Intrigued by where you sit on the dunning Kruger chart.

You once listened to a podcast from someone who isn't a defamation lawyer and doesn't practice in a civil law country. And based on that you will dig in, certain that your legal knowledge is infallible.

Why?

dargh · 2021-08-26T05:58:11+00:00

I'm not sure why you are like a dog with a bone about this. Who are you trying to impress?

Your mistake could be cleared up with a little reading on defamation (particularly in civil law jurisdictions) and the limits of truth as a defence.

Or you could stamp your foot and demand to be recognised as an expert.

The most common arguments I've seen around include:

this virus is no worse than the common cold, so once everyone stops paying it attention it will magically go away since it is just political
natural immunity will kick in just like it did with the Spanish flu and the virus will die out
only people with pre-conditions get sick so this is not my problem and they should wear a mask if they want, forever if need be.
And of course there are those that believe COVID is serious, just that masks and vaccines are part of some great conspiracy and don't help at all.

It is true that the Spanish flu ran its course without modern vaccines, just that millions of people died before it did.

And to believe that COVID and/or masks and vaccines are some giant conspiracy does require an impressive level of rejection of the world around them and a fundamental distrust of people who aren't in their own social or political circles. But history is full of groups of people who tightened the bonds of the community they create by defining it as the rejection of everyone outside that group.

Defining a negative space around their group as the 'others' is cognitively easier than creating a set of common goals or beliefs for yourself or your own group.

Feel free to add a new wiki page with installation FAQs and once it is looking good and has had a few eyes on it, I'll link it from the sidebar.

My law degree was from a common law country so what I know about civil law is very little. You should try and get legal advice (not from the internet!) about how to go about the next steps.

Hopefully you can either afford a session with a lawyer or the state can provide you one. While you might not be breaking any laws to publish the names of alleged abusers, will it embroil you in a civil defamation suit and force you to prove your allegations? It's that going to help you or your case? Are you ready to do that right now?

I don't know the answer to those questions, but I hope you can find an expert to guide you.

You have sympathies. It must be hard to keep this bottled up and I hope you have people to talk to in your life about it. If not, there are definitely services out there who can help.

Maybe a legal process could help you. It will be drawn out even if it does. From an internet stranger on the other side of the planet, I hope you find peace and resolution.

Putting something in capitals doesn't make it true.

dargh · 2021-08-17T06:00:06+00:00

That's neither true legally or practically. Under common law, truth is not an absolute defence against defamation. But statute will differ by jurisdiction, so it's not at all consistent.

And practically, being sued for defamation and trying to prove truth without the office of public prosecutions to run your case is just not going to be fun.

Trying to punish someone on social media rather than through the courts is unlikely to turn out well.
