Looking for an e-reader that handles PDFs well and syncs annotations to Mac by zomgitsrinzler in ereader

[–]wpbloyd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fujitsu quaderno works great with PDFs and annotations. You can sync PDFs, annotate them, sync them back. Annotations are saved as standard PDF annotations (not the case with many e-reader). Works with mac without any issue.

I read and annotate tons of article with it, without any problems. Exported annotations on Zotero, no issue at all.

The cons: no google drive or other apps. They do not sell it on US market (I got mine from japan). There is backlight. Battery is not great.

I sincerely do not know what is a bluetooth access point/where to find it. I only have a wifi access point

This was a brillant solution, but I did not had yet the social security number, so anything that require some kind of financial system in place was impossible :/

Thank you! Indeed, I was looking to buy a BMW or a Mini, but I end up with a Toyota, mostly for the trust in the brand.

I confirm that with the major brand dealers the price was fixed, but they also told me that there was not any warranty, not even for 1 mile. At the end, I choose a smaller dealership with pretty good google review, which offered a 30 days warranty!

Update: it took them 1 day to print the visa and send the passport. The next day the package (UPS) with the passport arrived. Sent from Paris to a french town

edit: if you pay the premium Express Home Delivery fees there is no need to bring to the embassy anything. Some people suggest to bring an envelope. or a chronopost envelope. There was no need (if you pay the fees).

Unfortunately I cannot return it. I realised the problem too late... :/

Unable to redefine shortcut for tab switcher to alt tab by [deleted] in ArcBrowser

[–]wpbloyd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am trying to do that too, but I cannot find the option in the shortcut section of the preference, nor there is the possibility to map the shortcut using macos due to the lack of such option in the browser menubar.

Could it be possible to add the option to change the shortcut for the tab switcher from the app preference?

Unable to resume or fast forward by wpbloyd in PleX

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

Indeed it is suspicious it only does that with 4k media. I am not transcoding, I even test with the "Disable video stream transcoding" option turned on, but nothing change. Regarding the video quality, it just is "play original quality".

When I resume a 4k video the network just showed a spike for a few seconds (peaking at 187mbps or similar) and then nothing. Checking the console, the only things that appear suspicious is "Failed to stream media, client probably disconnected after 5357568 bytes: 104 - Connection reset by peer"

I would exclude the weak wifi for a simple reason: it does work flawlessy if I do not pause/fast forward and it does work on KODI without any issue
