> That's a lot of work to avoid buying an electric blanket with a timer. I mean, it's cool and all, but I would hope the lessons learned were worth the effort.
Totally agree with you.
I guess it is rewarding to make this kind of work with success, moreover if, at the end, it costs less than the original one.
I hope the skils u've learnt will be reused in another project, maybe more "elaborated".
> Politics is just for kicks, because I know most of it is filtered and slanted by its organization. Seems it takes a day or 2 before we get the real truth to anything. The facts are normally too skewed and biased on release.
I'm totally agree with you. Most of the actual news articles are looking to create some "buzz". I rather prefer waiting few days and read complete article well structured that exposes the facts.
I mean, every smartphone has a note app, which do not require internet, so why people will use messageyourself instead of a basic app already existing ?
I have a little suspicion that you didn't try it. :-)
Messageyourself is not a separate app, the website only activates a WhatsApp chat with yourself. I will make that clear on the website shortly.
WhatsApp also doesn't need an internet connection to send yourself messages btw.
What this method also allows it to forward messages from other chats to yourself as notes, instead of having to copy paste and switch between apps. Just a little example of how this could be a little bit more convenient for some people. There are probably other uses I didn't think of besides using it as a "notes" app.
> I have a little suspicion that you didn't try it. :-)
Indeed, because I didn't understand, as you imagine, how is works and why it more convenient than orther app. So I'll not give a try to something that is not clear.
Like you, I tried several tools for taking notes (work or personnal). However, I didn't succeed using them during a long time.
So I switched to little notebook with one pen that is smooth to use. For now I find (quite) easily my notes, but in the future I'll probable need an easy why to search and find notes.
Usinge Markdown might be the newt thing I'll do. It's super easy to get perfect/clean notes with it.
So you might have a try with a notebook and see if it's enought for you.
All my note are "simple", they are only ideas or TODOs. But if you want to keep some code/dev/scripts notes you should concider markdown tool.
I just have a few try on it and I find it quite laggy.
Example : go to -> top devs -> choose one dev -> go back . Here is super laggy. Am I the only one ? (Edit : no i'm not :D)
Exactly, that's what I'm trying to do ... which is not easy :).
By doing this, I'm less on my phone & less on my computer.
in the same time I delete some time-consuming apps on my phone.
One thing I can add is to focus on the things your are doing and stick to them.
For example : reading a book or an article completely . Sometimes I just read the title and only some of the sentences, thus I don't the get the point or the idea of the authors. (it is one among many others)
I think that SanDisk SSD is a good product. It certainly has been reliable over the past 8+ years. I'm sure that these days, there are faster SSDs out there, but you need to confirm that you MBP model has the appropriate SATA speeds to interoperate.
I googled a guide on how to replace disk drives and since it was a long time ago I can't remember the exact steps. But it was roughly as follows:
Put SSD into a USB HD case.
Clone internal disk onto new SSD, the tool allowed the use of larger drive. Again, can't remember the exact program. It was recommended by the guide I followed.
Make a TimeMachine backup - you know, just in case something goes bad.
Shut down MBP
Remove screws on bottom
Locate HD, remove, move some mounting hardware onto SSD (now out of USB case)
Screw in SSD and connect cables - power and SATA.
Put bottom back on, replacing screws. NB: some are longer than others so you need to keep track of which ones go where. Again the reference guide had good hints.
Totally agree with you. I guess it is rewarding to make this kind of work with success, moreover if, at the end, it costs less than the original one. I hope the skils u've learnt will be reused in another project, maybe more "elaborated".
