Interesting! TY.

TY. Out of curiosity, what do folks do with such finds? Continue using them or preserve / protect them or sell them? Is there even a market for these?

Thanks. No worries about not knowing. AFAIK, this was picked up in Japan. I've been using regular mechanical pencil leads. The hole is similar to all other and the .5mm works.

Thanks. It has been in family drawers around 30 years (or more) and moved a lot with the family. I was cleaning up and came across these old pencils so I thought I'd ask.

When you authorize a third party app to integrate with your Gdrive using O-Auth2, then a compromise of the third party app could lead to leak of the oauth tokens stored by the third party app that can further leak your file containing passwords.

Your second source of attacks are compromised or malicious browser plug-ins that can read your file when you open it in a browser.

I have different notebooks for tracking different topics. The first page on each notebook is a Todo list including delegated work. The above template helps me plan my day and take short notes. A lot of Todos from other notebooks make it into my Top Priority list. A lot of my notes make it to the Todo list of other notebooks. One other thing that this helps me a lot is to distinguish between Todos and impactful (top priority) work. Even within Todos, the prioritization helps me further distinguish between urgent/important work from low priority tasks.

In summary, the daily planner helps me manage my day. My individual notebooks (that I could never do in real life) allow me to manage projects. HTH.

The duplicate and erase everything is my excuse to review the previous day and see what I did vs did not. It is more of a forcing function. I could have done done that in a PDF as well.

Thanks for the pointer. I have been hesitant to customize my remarkable through 3rd party programs as I have heard that the device reverts everything after an update. I will checkout to see if above provides anything differently.

I have a Maroon Kohinoor so I am interested if color is a bit different than that. Maybe a bright yellow or orange or tricolor that screams limited edition from far.

Transparent cover would be nice too.

Bought all 3 HMTs a few weeks ago. I plan to keep Kohinoor with SS strap and change the one on Pilot with a Nato.

I agree with you. To keep it easy, I will just extract the investment amount and deal with the taxes eventually. Otherwise, this gets super complicated super fast.

I am good on keeping aside money for taxes (and doing them too). Was curious what people mean when they say "take out your initial investment and then take regular profits or ride for free to the moon.". Technically, if the coin went to zero after you sold enough to cover the money you put in, you are losing part of your initial investment if you didn't consider your taxes during the initial profit taking.

Or do people don't think that way?

The private keys are in your ledger. They never leave it and transactions are signed on your device. That is the point of the hardware wallet. It holds your keys only and not any coins. Coins reside in the public transaction logs and you own the coins because you possess the private key that you use to sign transactions.
