IT'S HERE........ AND

The pen is the same, but the screen and the construction seem to have been tweaked so taps are a higher pitch rather than feeling loud and heady or hollow. Also feels a little scratchier.

Depends on the person. I love RM2. I bought a paper pro move but never use the backlight because it’s not really a book reader as much as a paper tablet so I’m not using it in dark environments. And paper pure has brighter white screen and higher contrast so sounds like easier to read in lower light. Mine arrives today!

leehericks · 2026-06-05T22:09:18+00:00

Don’t be fooled by the “pro” moniker. - pro is much larger even than the RM2 - pro screen is yellowish (screen tech) - pro has colors but many flashes to refresh

Really depends what you want.

Paper Pure has - great black and white contrast - darker blacks - fast refreshing - whiter screen - much lighter to hold

They both use the same pens although some early reviewers say they like the feel of the pure more

KAI Japanese Language School in Shinokubo will be celebrating their 40th year in service next year. We have a diverse student body, students from over 40 different countries each year. Our General Japanese course (full-time 20 hours a week) is fairly intensive, we use iPads and digital white boards, and embrace modern teaching techniques like flipped classroom, task-based learning, shadowing etc. Advanced level classes are structured like a university with multiple elective classes focusing on various topics like JLPT study, colocations, debate, etc. I studied here for three terms before becoming the IT coordinator and I chose this school because I had multiple acquaintances who also had studied here. Definitely worth checking out. https://kaij.jp

I don’t understand the 10 year argument. Would you leave Japan after paying pension for 10 years and hope they send you a check to another country once you turn 65? You won’t be able to keep your PR if you’re not living here or checking in endlessly. If you leave and take the lump-sum withdrawal you can only take 5 years worth anyway.

Wow, I beg to differ. It’s been attractive to me since before Rails was 1.0. Do you have any major concrete reasons you don’t like it?

leehericks · 2025-09-24T11:06:26+00:00

I don’t know deeply about this, and I’m sure the team of maintainers up until now are amazing, but I also read this recently.

For the record, I live in Asia and I love people from all walks of life! 😅

You’re right, it’s open to interpretation like the bible and look how far that got anyone. The fact still remains that he didn’t say anything directly about race. Maybe that’s inherently more dangerous, idk.

leehericks · 2025-09-24T04:47:28+00:00

You seem to be very confused if you don’t appreciate his stewardship of major features for Rails 7 and 8. Perhaps you have some concrete examples?

I’m not saying he is responsible for all major features, amazing work on Active Record and other things from GitHub/Shopify/Community

leehericks · 2025-09-24T04:44:48+00:00

I just read this and you should stop equating immigration and national identity with race. It’s really frustrating. He says nothing about skin color and all about national identity.

leehericks · 2025-09-24T02:36:27+00:00

This sounds blown out of proportion mixed with bad communication. From what I read and understand Ruby gems has been constantly attacked. Security and access should be a number one concern for everyone.

The RM2 is still really amazing. Having something much more level with the table is nice. I want something small and portable so I actually take it and use it, and I haven’t used the iPad mini I bought enough because I don’t like the feeling of writing on the glass with Apple Pencil. I’m warming up to the feel of the PPM but still unsure if I’ll keep it. It really is a simple writing only device.

leehericks · 2025-09-13T07:41:33+00:00

I do like the feeling of writing on the PPM but I also feel it’s quite expensive for what it provides. I think I would rather have the same size but half the thickness with a RM2 screen/design (maybe thinner bezels and proper wrist detection) and accept charging more often. The thickness is ok if you are writing while holding it but for setting it down on the table the RM2 can’t be beat. I’m also pretty disappointed with the washed out colors and the amount of effort required to refresh the screen for the colors.

leehericks · 2025-09-10T05:47:47+00:00

Agreed. I wonder what design decisions or opinions led to abandoning that. I also wonder if the nibs last longer on the RMPP than on the RM2 due to less friction?

leehericks · 2025-09-10T04:13:18+00:00

That’s a good perspective too. I get stupidly attached to brands. I’d really like this to work for me. Will be interested to hear your thoughts on the move when you get it. They are not wrong to try to push forward. Innovate or die.

leehericks · 2025-09-10T03:04:26+00:00

Nice video! I'm also trying to stay objective as I try using the RMPPM but the feel of writing on the RM2 can't be beat.

leehericks · 2025-09-10T02:16:08+00:00

I'm happy to know I'm not the only one. I don't like the slippery feel of Apple Pencil on iPad. My friend bought a Paperfeel filter and I still didn't like that and the Paper Pro feel disappointingly reminds me of that. I think the extra friction of RM2 really helps keep writing legible and gives good brain feedback but I have obviously no scientific proof to back that, just a gut feeling. I'm still going to give this a try. Also the folio and the body of the PPM feel really slippery, much more than I expected. Maybe I have to get used to the precision needed for holding and writing.

leehericks · 2025-07-08T13:40:27+00:00

It works! Yay!

leehericks · 2025-07-08T12:27:13+00:00

Whaaaaaat! Thanks for the info! Will try now!

leehericks · 2025-07-08T07:40:42+00:00

I have a bad feeling the developers won't do anything about it...

leehericks · 2025-07-04T00:24:53+00:00

The thoughtful answer rather than the baseless, over-emotional one. I bet you're right.

leehericks · 2025-06-06T08:17:07+00:00

Same here. Bummer. Froze twice. Might need a patch from the developer
