My handwriting isn’t great but it’s legible (by me at least). I’m old (40s)and still find it quicker to jot notes - especially when I need to add figures.
Yea, if the Supernote Manta had been available that is probably the way I would have gone. I’m really interested in their repairability/upgradeability angle. I’ve had a Framework laptop for ages that just grows with me. Less waste, less cost.
I have a Remarkable Paper Pro. I use it for notes, organization, reading books, etc. I love it.
The new Supernote is also a compelling option.
The ePaper display means I rarely have to worry about battery and the pen feeling is MILES better than any LCD I’ve ever tried.
My files all sync to my laptop and my phone, and it is way more comfortable to write on than a double screen device because I can have my ‘pad’ in letter orientation and my hand doesn’t run into the screen which can happen on the double screen devices.
It’s also fantastic for taking notes in meetings because I don’t have a laptop between me and the others and I don’t get distracted by notifications. It’s also light enough to disappear into my bag next to my laptop.
I still don’t get the butane reference? (kidding)
I’m okay as long as I don’t doom scroll too much.
I’m Canadian and middle aged. I was braced for a rough Trump 2.0, but the last month has truly exceeded expectations for suck. Our country is under economic attack by our biggest trading partner. Human rights and trying to help and support each other are suddenly considered bad things. Our window to address climate change is snapping shut as our leaders around the world move in the wrong direction. I’m feeling really good about my decision to not have kids at least.
On the plus side, my sick cat is responding to treatment, and my partner and I have just set up a nursery - we’re going to start fostering wee kiddos whose families are going through rough spots. I’ve got some financial flexibility so I’m treating myself to a stack of coffee gift cards each week that I hand out to folks who look like they could use it. Sorta makes my day to be able to make sure someone unhoused gets a warm drink and some food.
Yea, I’ve looked at that. The issue is when I break it - and I always break my phones. I wouldn’t be able to quickly fix my phone because I’d need to order the parts via a shipping forwarder. I use my phone for work and going a couple of weeks without a device isn’t viable.
The SECOND Fairphone starts shipping to Canada, I’ll buy one…
How did I not think of that?
