Leverage is great when prices are increasing, but not when prices are moving in the opposite direction. The recent 40-year trend of decreasing interest rates lulled a lot of people into the belief that real estate leverage is an unalloyed good.
I agree, absolutely love my reMarkable for those reasons, as well as not needing to manage the _annoying_ physical properties of paper (storage, organization) any more
This was my gut reaction as well as an eInk enthusiast, but I think the author is looking for something quite different. As much as the rM is a calmer, slower-paced device by design, it's still a device with a screen that doesn't have the same physical affordances and spatial flexibility as pieces of paper.
RSS is actually one of my favourite uses for the tablet; I built a little service that builds a pdf "newspaper" twice daily and sends it to Google Drive. Very nice to read my feeds on the rM2 instead of a glowing screen
Hi, hyperpaper creator here– sorry it didn't work for you :(
Just curious if there were any problems specifically with the planner, or if it was just the fact that the rM really didn't work for you at all? Always looking to improve it and fill in any gaps in the product.
Also when did you try it? Because I will admit the first version was definitely clunky
Great podcast and I really enjoyed their MSFT episodes.
I thought their pro-Ballmer angle was interesting at the time too (it was the first long-form defense of his tenure that I had heard), but I wasn't sure how much of that was due to him being a primary source for the podcast's material.
