I once told my girlfriend at the time it use to make me anxious when I was breathing in sync with someone and it took us months to come back from that one.


I’m surprised this never crossed my mind with all the fumes I’ve inhaled.


Make sure to click the voice to text icon (and maybe enable in settings?) before disabling network permissions. It will do voice to text off line and it works alarmingly well.



Unfortunately not! Realistically I’m not big in the e-paper space in general, I bought the remarkable 1 probably 4 years ago on sale so have tried to make the most of it. I agree it’s a huge let down, they had an incredible opportunity to make this a FOSS dream but are moving in the apple direction of telling users what they want and not providing settings. It may still be some peoples best option but I personally run a very old version of the software and have multiple FOSS programs installed just to make it worth using. I must admit the writing experience is phenomenal, everything surrounding it is a letdown. They are trying to be a hardware, software, and cloud company and seem to be spread too thin, choosing a worse experience for users rather than open sourcing things. Their “display manager”, xochitl, which is the software you interact with when the device is on, has no API meaning theres no programmatic way to do, well anything. You can only use the stock software by clicking the screen. The files produced by the tablet are in a closed proprietary format so only the device/ their cloud can convert them to pdfs. Some efforts have been made to reverse engineer the file format so FOSS devs can write programs to render the files, though I’m not sure the status of that with the newest format.


Unfortunately they have become much less friendly towards open source as time goes on and strongly push users to use their cloud. Many open source programs aren’t officially compatible with v3+ since each minor release requires reverse engineering the display binary. I am a package maintainer for Toltec and would not buy a remarkable 2 considering the direction they have taken.


Exactly, you either get my data or my money. That’s how I feel about every service nowadays, I don’t think its unethical to subvert payment requirements when they have been selling my privacy for years.
