Notebook preference.
Also interested in hearing rationale, other options etc. Tell me about your dorky stationery habits 
I'm currently A4 work/A5(ish) personal, but I think I need to go A4 across the board despite having some utterly beautiful A5(ish) notebooks.
Picked up a cute little A6 notebook at the #Monocle shop in Hong Kong Airport. A definite change from my usual black notebooks!
Some good entries in the Commonplace Notebook club.

@simonzerafa I mean obviously #reuse / #UseLonger is better and if your options are "corporate surplus" or nothing then I'd never judge.
To me it's just that #ThinkPad as a brand has really died as every single Device is a #downgrade in #repairability & #upgradeability compared to my #X230Tablet:
They have #SolderedDownRAM even on P-Series #Workstation machines, not just cheap cheap #Lenovo consoomer devices.
Batteries ain't toolfree-swappable anymore!
#WWAN modules are worse (i.e. #Fibocom #850GL aka. #Intel #XMM7360)
#Linux support gets worse and neither Lenovo nor @ubuntu feel responsible on a "#Ubuntu-certified Workstation" (i.e. #P15v)
Less & Worse #Docking options.
Most machines don't offer Linux or to eveb to opt-out of #Govware noone should pay their overcharged premium for (in fact #Microsoft pays Lenovo $25 for every #Windows #preinstall so they don't ship Linux, they don't even pay the $10 for an #OEM-#UEFI-Key, much less the $135+ of a #SystemBuilder version they charge for!)
...
Personally, I wish I had €.€€€.€€€ so I could just develop the #NUCbook and be done with the #Enshittification of #Laptops / #Notebooks!
Quizás la diferencia sea el método de conexión, por ejemplo un #smartwatch utiliza principalmente #bluetooth que hoy en día al menos casi todas las #notebooks tienen, quizás con las PC de escritorio sería un poquito más difícil pero bueno.
Entonces si logras conectar de manera eficiente y óptima el smartwatch al PC, me imagino que podrías además de usar la pantalla táctil del reloj (las cuales tengo entendido son cada vez más sofisticadas) también se podría usar el o los botones que incluso a veces son botones con diales así que bueno.
La diferencia clara es que este anillo estaría pensado para esa función específica de control remoto, los relojes inteligentes serían más un extra dentro de todo lo que ya hacen y obviamente variaría de acuerdo a cada reloj.
US tariffs on electronics and medicines to be introduced by June at the latest
After the suspension is before new tariffs: By June 2025, the USA wants to impose new duties on semiconductors and medicines, among other things.
> How Will Tariffs Affect Notebook Prices? https://www.notebookstories.com/2025/04/11/how-will-tariffs-affect-notebook-prices/
While I like a nicer notebook for my personal journaling and my #cartomancy practice, I do NOT spend much for them. I buy on sale, clearance, etc. If it becomes a problem, I'll switch to cheap composition notebooks and get them during back to school sales.
Neue US-Zölle für Elektronik und Medikamente kommen bis spätestens Juni
Nach der Aussetzung ist vor neuen Zöllen: Bis Juni 2025 wollen die USA neue Abgaben unter anderem auf Halbleiter und Medikamente erheben.
It’s new notebook day 
These pocket notebooks are nice and simple, but so satisfying to make.
New notebook fail
So I was nosing around online and found a pocket size Lochby brand notebook that advertised having tomoe rivier paper, and sure enough it had a higher than usual page count. Nice! So on a whim I bought one.
It’s the ubiquitous pocket/Field Notes size, and looks promising, right? Woops!
As you can see, the stitching is way off center, which means the book is going to be a pain to write in, and won’t ever lay right. So back it goes. Do I dare get a replacement? I’m guessing they’re all like this.
Working my way through old notebooks and this one is a throw back the the never happened
360|iDev Hong Kong
![The image shows a brown notebook titled "FIELD NOTES" with the subtitle "480 Book" and "Durable Notebook" printed on the cover. The notebook is placed on a wooden surface. Two stickers are attached to the cover. The top sticker reads "360|iDev 香港" with a blue circular design, while the bottom sticker says "[360|iDev min]" with a similar blue design. The notebook appears to be a durable field notes book, possibly used for taking notes or journaling. The stickers suggest a connection to a tech or developer community, specifically related to Hong Kong.

Taking my new pen (Lamy 2000) with me in my pocket journal case 
The pen feels so sturdy I feel I can do this without worry. Would NOT do this with my Sailor Pro Gear, for example.
