      Excellent: I hope you are sufficiently good from now on that Santa gets it for you -- and that you enjoy yours at least as much as I do mine.

    I cannot tell a lie, I only did one biscuit today, but certainly know if I get said product where to come back for two more biscuits. Having said this, you were very entertaining for the one biscuit. Thank you.

      "You were very entertaining for the one biscuit." That's a poster quote right there. Love it.

    I'm very sorry to say that I simply could not resist getting one myself. For some idiotic reason I was unable to not buy one immediately, pausing the video at about the 20 minute mark, and resume playing after having received the assurance it being delivered tomorrow. Family and the dog will probably hate me this weekend. Oh, and you.

      I read this, I look at your "notguilty" name, and I am beaming. Also, I've done exactly that: I bought a charger plug the other week, the moment a video said what it did and the price. Who needs discipline?

    Thank you! Stream Deck awesome yes but it was the KM mention that has resolved an issue for me. I've struggled for weeks with a MacOS automator macro that worked everywhere apart from in chrome and safari. 5 mins after installing KM, my problem is solved. I can replace any highlighted text, seemingly in any app where text is editable with a html anchor tag surrounding the text. Sounds minor but the school website I'm helping out with has many tables with many links and this process was a huge time sink.

      By the way, those turnable knobs you had difficulty seeing purpose in - very useful when mapped to controls in something like garage band, cubase, etc. Similarly, the market widgets with sounds surely of little use when writing (though I did like the end of long process application) but very useful with OBS if your flavour of broadcast requires sound effects to be easily at hand.

      @WilliamGallagher  4 месяца назад

      Oh! I never thought of Cubase or anything like that: thanks. And thank you, I am delighted that KM Link helped. Made me beam.

    If one can drill down even deeper, this would be great for automating some of my editing and translating work. Reject/accept change, resolve comment, change language, open DeepL, open Dictionary, etc.

    Thank you for all the videos, I watch them all the time. I am really curious which app you use for PKM and notes in general (not connected to writing, even though it would be brilliant if we could see that too - probably Scrivener)? There is Drafts, Craft, etc., but not sure for what you use each. You made those kind of videos before, but it's been a while and it would be fun to see an updated version.

    • @WilliamGallagher
      @WilliamGallagher  3 месяца назад +1

      Thanks for asking. This doesn't entirely answer you, but there is an extra 58keys going out tonight which covers the process of making the videos. It's very broad, though, so I'll think about this: I do have a set of PKM tools that are essential across everything I do and while I've covered all of them separately, I haven't done it this way. Thanks: I like this idea.

    I saw that you had a kindle paper white. Are they any good? I prefer physical books, but they clutter up when you run out of room. I don’t care for reading books on the iPad, so I was thinking about getting a kindle paper white. Is the screen easy on the eyes? Does the battery last long? And do you get a charger with it?

    • @WilliamGallagher
      @WilliamGallagher  4 месяца назад

      You do get a charger. Amazon quotes six weeks of battery life but that's a nonsense: you'd have to read for no more than ten minutes a day to make that. I've found with long reading sessions that the battery life isn't very much different to that of my iPad. But iPads will run down even if you're not using them and the Kindle doesn't, so it feels like it lasts longer. As for reading, I prefer the text on an iPad and in Apple Books specifically, but the Kindle Paperwhite is so much better than the earlier Kindles I tried that I like it.

      @@WilliamGallagher I just saw on twitter that the m4 Mac mini will have 5 USB-C ports (3 in back and 2 in front) a no USB-A ports. If you plug in 2 USB-A adapters in the back, (I don’t mean dongles or a dock, I mean 1 adapter I each port), would you be able to plug in a mouse and keyboard, and will the work normally? I hope so.

    • @WilliamGallagher
      @WilliamGallagher  3 месяца назад

      @Jay-dx9zp Yes. I use wireless keyboards and trackpads but I also have some USB-A devices and I bought adapters from Amazon. I keep losing them because these devices aren’t needed all the time and so I’m forever unplugging them, but the adapters are cheap enough. Here’s what I use: amzn.to/4dHW28X
