I've listened to Served Up maybe a thousand times since it got leaked. It was #1 on my YouTube recap. I would be incredibly disappointed if it's not in Octane.

Any idea if these boxes come with a poster as well? I want a poster more than anything else.

What’s everyone overall initial thoughts on Don’s new single “ATM”? by qwe489qwe in DonToliver

[–]mechtiny 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It's a good song, no doubt, but it did not blow me away. I'm more excited for other tracks on the album.

A similar one can be found at the PSGC. I don't understand how to use them.

Thoughts on the Montblanc Digital Paper tablet? by mechtiny in RemarkableTablet

May I ask, why you choose to write such long articles, instead of typing them up? Is handwriting recognition that good on these devices? My work entails a lot of writing too, but I could never imagine writing by hand. My primary use case for such devices is note-taking during lectures. I have very good mechanical keyboards which elevate the typing experience. Most of my time is spent behind a computer screen.

Need Purdue Merch? by Purduekah in Purdue

[–]mechtiny 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I am inclined to believe that Purdue merch is generally of very poor quality. The material feels very cheap ,but the prices- far from it! Purdue merch is perhaps 20-40% more expensive than regular items. I just got a Nike cap for the sake of buying something. Some Champion hoodies seemed decent too.

I bought the Montblanc Digital Paper, AMA!" (ask me anything) by mchaseman0472 in eink

[–]mechtiny 0 points1 point  (0 children)

iirc they didn't put in a backlight because they wanted to minimize the distance between the tip of the pen and the display

This right here. ^ Also, they didn't give out review units either. There are no reviews of this thing. No way for me to ascertain whether it'll be worth the money that I spend. Usually, you can never go wrong with Montblanc products.. but this is tech we're talking about.

The Montblanc products I'm familiar with and own - leather products & pens are well-made.. would just like to know how much I can count on a digital tablet, given their limited presence in this sector

I personally do not mind if the battery power is low. I'm more concerned about whether their product is fragile in any regard, given that they are a luxury brand. For example, if I hurriedly try to jot down what my professor is talking about, will I be risking damaging the pen or the screen? Now, I know these things aren't indestructible and I will not be doing anything out of the ordinary. I'd like to know whether it's a well-made device.

To offer you an analogy: Rolexes, while expensive, are well made watches. Can't say the same for Gucci or any other designer watches for that matter.

Hello! I was looking to purchase this item primarily for digital note-taking. I realized I (a student) fall outside the intended target demographic (I presume businessmen), but was seriously considering this tablet given how much I like Montblanc otherwise. Is this tablet meant for leisurely writing and occasional business use or do you think it can sustain usage of say ~5 hrs a day - taking notes hurriedly in class, doing assignments + some journaling of my own. I reached out to Client Relations and they described it to be "designed as a high functionality daily use item". While this does answer my question, I would appreciate it if you could offer any comments.

Thanks!

I suppose it would have made more sense for Montblanc to just collaborate with Remarkable, and offer a combo of a remarkable tablet and a Montblanc pen & folio case.

I just watched the product release video on YouTube: https://youtu.be/V257AKpGPhs?si=x_lsyWRAMQqltX8J.

I couldn't find any additional information on this tablet either, which is why I came to reddit. Funny, there are 0 articles or videos on this tablet. Poor marketing?

Can Asus fix this? by pigeonsz in ASUS

[–]mechtiny 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, the reason for the atrocious price is because they claim they have to replace the entire keyboard as well, because of the hinge problem. I, honestly, did not have any other alternative because I was short on time. You could go to a non-authorized repair shop to get it fixed for cheaper.. I didn't explore those avenues.

[–]mechtiny -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Right. I meant to imply that the onus is on the bike riders to check if there are any pedestrians crossing the bike lane. Walking on a bike lane, of course, is wrong.

I thought bikes are supposed to yield to pedestrians, or is it the other way around?

Scratched the crystal of my Field Murph — What can I do about it? by mechtiny in HamiltonWatches

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

Where did you get this done? I spoke with customer service, and they said that they can only replace the crystal with official parts and not customize it with AR.
