I’m with you here. I figure I’ll buy the year when I need it. I did the math and figured the lifetime was about 10 years worth. I figured if I end up paying for 10 years worth eventually, they’ve earned it. Likely something free will come out and I won’t need it anymore.

I’ve mostly stopped using it because I have had no more issues with plex recognizing files now.

So… Your tablet runs on a cell signal?

Care to elaborate on your chartplotter setup? I’ve bought a boat and it has a GPS system in it but they don’t make the maps cards for it anymore so it’s kind of just a really fancy screen that tells me how fast I’m going

Lego Harry Potter on Switch is what my wife and I did and she liked it. She is not a gamer.

Weirdly enough she also liked Mario Golf on switch.

My place of work requires Microsoft Edge or Google chrome. I’m having trouble with the ad blockers not working. Is there some combination that I should be using that would circumvent this? Or is the only option firefox? Obviously, everything I own at home and personal devices are Firefox :)

Unlike Rothfuss, he seems intent on finishing ;)

I watched an interview with him at a Comic-Con a year or so ago. I think it was the multiple perspective that he took on it. Plus he had to figure out how to create new momentum within the book after everything had changed. Book four I feel like he was trying to figure out where he wanted the rest of this to go. Initially it was supposed to be a six book series with it being really too trilogies. But now it’s going to be seven books. Four five and six get progressively better as you go and sex feels more like the original trilogy 👍🏻

Read 36 books and counting

• Sanderson’s Mistborn
• Sanderson’s Warbreaker
• Jade City (it’s a trilogy, something different)
• Codex Alera

4 was worst. I think because he changed his style.

5 was better because I expected it to be different but the story moves better.

6 was like reading 1-3 again. He even said as he winds down the series he’ll be writing in more the style of the first trilogy

I hate finished the trilogy. It was at this point I learned I don’t like SciFi, I like space operas

I went s7e - n10+ - s23

The s23 is a nice balance. I don’t have giant hands. I found the note 10+ to be too big. I dropped it all the time

What’s the most modern you could emulate on an android phone (s23)?

And is retroarch the best bet?

I’ve been entertaining the idea of buying a cheap laptop to play with Linux after yesterday’s posts and the idea of being able to emulate some more modern stuff and maybe install steam is appealing.

You’d be surprised how much stuff you can miss in books and still be clipping along ;)

But in all seriousness, I have ADHD and sometimes my mind wanders and I have to rewind but it’s not often… anymore.

I found audiobooks to be a learned habit. I started with books I knew well already (hello Harry Potter) or books I watched the movies for (Lord of the Rings). It helped if I tuned out because I wasn’t going to to miss anything I didn’t already know.

A couple of pluses on audiobooks is that you can increase or decrease the reading speed depending on your comfortability (I usually sit between 1.4x - 1.6x, YMMV and it depends on the pacing of the recorded person). Also, you experience the authors work entirely without skipping things (which we often do as readers)

Most public libraries have OverDrive. While not torrented, you can get lots of ebooks for free! (if there’s a way to “keep” them from overdrive I’m not aware of it)

Does this avoid paying for their sync services? I’d love synced notes but to be honest, I wouldn’t use the feature enough to pay for it

Seconded!

Copying is a grey area still in our country. As long as you don’t upload it, you can download a copy from us

What do you mean by sandboxed?

Damn haha. TIL

I’m just going to stay away from it
