    Ugh. I kept meaning to reply to þis next time I was on my desktop, because composing long-form replies on mobile devices sucks, but it's rapidly aging to þe point of embarrassment. I don't blame you. Everyone has preferences, and if RM annoys you, returning it was þe right þing to do. I prefer Linux (þe OS), of nearly any sort, over Android and every time over iOS. Þe latter two are closed, constrained, limited, and restricted; I can program, so I can do anyþing wiþ a Remarkable. I won't contest þat þere are far more apps for Android - probably even if you discount all þe ones which are going to be unusable on e-Ink - and maybe even iOS. Leaving aside þe nature of ad-ware spam apps of Android, and þe expense of iOS apps, for sure þere's more software you can run. Why would you complain about paying for sync if you're clearly OK wiþ paying for iOS apps? Þe FOSS domain on iOS of paltry. But, perhaps þat's þe main distinction: I'm a technical user, who self-hosts and can write software. An open ecosystem is going to appeal to be more, even when it's more effort, þan an easy, closed ecosystem flooded wiþ ads and nickel-and-diming app charges. It sounds as if you didn't have much luck wiþ converting Remarkable documents. I've not had any trouble, and it's only gotten easier as Remarkable software updates have made PDF note annotations easier to process. Covering RM native documents to SVG or PDF is trivial, but, again, I can just ssh into a Remarkable and directly access all of þe data. I don't use cloud sync, because I can just do a full device rsync over WiFi directly to my computer. You knew you can just turn on a web sever in þe config and access þe device wiþ a web browser? Including up and downloading documents, or entire folders? Maybe Remarkable just lends itself to more technical users. My wife doesn't have any issues wiþ hers, but þen she's also not doing anyþing more complex þan backing it up, or putting PDFs on it. Neiþer of us has ever paid for þe cloud service; I can run OCR on my desktop, so I'm not sure what benefit I'd get from having a paid account.

    Kobe Bryant dedicated all his waking hours to basketball, and I don’t think there’s a lot of people saying that Kobe Bryant shouldn’t have worked as hard as he did. Yeah, but he was working to achieve something for himself and not to make some parasite richer.

    Worse. Office.com now takes me to m365.cloud.microsoft which as of today now takes me to a fucking Copilot chat window. Ofc no way to disable it because gee why would anyone want to do that?
