Making APA Documents using Multimarkdown and Latex
Переглядів 2813 роки тому
You can find the files and a brief howto here: github.com/wweatherall/markdownLatexPDF/ The goal of this project is to streamline a plaintext workflow for multimarkdown and LaTeX. Both are very powerful, but somewhat inconvenient. This allows you to set up your style, defaults, and service once and then ignore formating until the end of your project for the future ones.

Harmony 650 Teardown
Переглядів 44 тис.11 років тому
How to tear down a Harmony 650 universal remote to clean it or fix it. My baby chewed on it so the power off button stopped working so I had to take it apart. There was a build up of salts on the circuit board and after I removed them, the remote worked. So, if you have a remote that stops working or has buttons that stop working a cleaning might fix it as it did for me. Good Luck : )

So if you are not up for looking around quite some, i would suggest to use this to begin with. If you continue working with freecad, eventually you will try this and that at some point by yourself. They all come free to use and try and you will see what works the best for your needs. It can be really confusing having all these options, but it's just different people creating what seems to work best for them and giving the choice to everyone else to use them. Good thing.

It should be flat and light weighted, fitting into my pocket like the old nokia music express I had in 2008, and it should have the same quality sound. It should have inbuilt alarmclock, no requirement for giving creditcard information or having to download everything from an app-store or pay extra for basic functions. I can use a smart phone or a pad for other functions. So I serious consider a light phone 2.

    While I understand the intent of this video, I don't think comparing the light phone to a gimped smartphone is very useful for people interested in digital minimalism. The digital minimalism community is already pretty aware of all the different launchers and apps that can help a smartphone become much less distracting but still useful. I would say a majority of people interested in digital minimalism are probably using methods such as yours or products such as the unpluq key rather than the light phone. The light phone is a feature phone. People are well aware that the light phone does not come with navigation or a music streaming service. You can't really see images well on an e-ink screen. The light phone does not advertise being able to do these things. The comparison is not really fair because the phone was never intended to do these things. This video would be much more valuable if it was advertised as a way to minimize distractions on a smartphone while still being useful. Honestly, offering the idea of buying an iPhone 5 and gimping it seems kinda silly when people can just gimp the smartphones they have right now. If you want to compare the light phone to other products, it would be much more useful to compare it to other feature phones on the market that are targeted towards a similar audience such as the Punkt. MP02.

It at least describes my experience and could have saved me $80 in depreciation and eBay fees on the light phone if someone else had made it. I didn't see anyone using restrictions + digital time capsules to do this when I was looking for a more minimal phone experience. Edit: people were using restrictions and I tried that previously, but I didn't see anyone using digital time capsules is what I mean.

    • @AlexLopez-nj2sj
      @AlexLopez-nj2sj 4 роки тому

      I guess I do not understand the intent, but regardless of that I still stand by my point that comparing a smartphone with manually limited features to a feature phone like the light phone is not very useful. People who have spent more than 1 minute researching the light phone know that light phones are not going to have features such as Spotify or GPS navigation. You spend a portion of your video talking about the features the light phone does not have, when it has never been advertised as having those features in the first place. Would you review the Nokia 3310, complain about the difficulty of using a telephone number pad for texting, and then compare it to iPhone 5 qwerty touchscreen keyboard? It's just a silly and unnecessary comparison. I agree that using time capsules is a neat method of blocking distracting applications. Why wasn't this the focus of the video? You could have reached more people with this topic as the focus of the video and shortened it to the three minute segment of this video discussing your method of blocking distracting apps. You spent half of the video reviewing the features of an older iPhone. If you had problems with the light phone, which it seems like you did, then create a video reviewing it. It is completely valid to give consumers concerns about the difficulty of texting on the light phone. It is completely valid to discuss the capabilities of an advertised feature such as podcasts. However, the light phone is not a smartphone and does not claim to be. Comparing these features to a smart phone is just silly.

Are you familiar with Clay Christiansen's "job to be done" theory? Me and the people who got value from this video were looking for a phone with hard-locked access away from social networks and the web. That was the job to be done. It was the most important job and that was why I was willing to purchase a light phone, but when I realized I could get the "feature" of not being able to use those on a decent phone I was greatly relieved, hence the video. I guess it's somewhat unfair, but that is an asymmetry in the market. It is their problem, not mine, that one can make a better light phone with an old smartphone. Having a camera or nav does not make my phone distracting, the web does. You see what I'm driving at?
