Prism update allows more apps to run on WOA
Improvements in the Prism emulation software apparently remove some roadblocks for running legacy software. They give the example of Ableton Live 12 now installing and running successfully on WOA.

Coming September 4th. 10.9" screen with spen in the box. I just pulled out my old S6 lite to set up a better planner system. As much as I love the eInk screens, none of the boox tablets I have are hitting the sweet spot between phone and big tablet that I need. I see a coral red one of these in my future. Hopefully with 5G.

Confirmed $350 for 128GB. The coral red is neat, but I ended up going in a different direction for my planner.
Maybe the idea behind Microsoft Duo isn't completely dead?

Doubt it....I could see them filing the patent just to keep others from doing it, more then actually releasing a new Windows phone or something. Microsoft has also very heavily divested from anything that nots Full Windows 11, and even if the hardware was capable, (which it is now) I doubt they would ever release a phone with full Windows. I feel it would be more likely to see the Neo resurrected (which has no chance in hell) over them releasing another phone.

Discovery Writing, Handwriting, Pens, Tablets and “AI”
As a retired person I tend to dabble at whatever piques my interest. With writing, it was Nanowrimo. Alas, that yearly event is no more, so I have looked around for a different challenge.
“Discovery Writing” looks interesting:
Discovery writing, also known as "pantsing," is a writing approach where authors create their stories without a detailed outline, allowing the plot and characters to develop organically as they write. This method emphasizes the joy of exploration and creativity, as writers often discover the story alongside their readers.
Then I read “Writing Into the Dark” by Dean Wesley Smith. Fascinating.
Taken with the attitude of personal enjoyment, no pressure of deadlines or need to be publishable, it actually sounds fun. In the past I’ve always assumed it was true that writers love to have written something, but hate the process of writing (I can’t recall the writer who said that. Robert Silverberg?).…

Follow-up: in a surprise turnaround, the winner combo for me is the Kindle Scribe plus Lamy AL-Star EMR pen with Wacom One Pen 2023 Edition Elastomer Nibs These nibs fall between standard and felt, friction-wise. Very nice on the textured Scribe surface. Felt is still better on smooth glass for my taste.
This experiment has unfortunately been on hiatus due to right index finger extensor tendinitis. Pretty sure the injury was instigated by twisting that finger while lifting a window open. That was before I created this topic—at the time I thought it was a temporary ouchie—and most any kind of that finger usage brings back the pain, from mild to excruciating. Included writing with a pen, naturally. So I need to rest it until healed. Which, I’ve read, can take weeks to months.
Makes me tempted to get an extreme ergo keyboard like the Svalboard—almost no finger movement necessary. I ordered a sample key switch cluster to try it out. Super expensive so not something to jump into without thought. But this pain has persisted over a month already… might be necessary if this persists.

I'll take any good news about WoA right now. Passed on my SP8 to my wife and with nothing but the SB3 that I use as a workstation at home, decided to use my research budget from work to get the12" Surface pro. Still wary of it's abilities especially connecting to a printer via USB port. The uni somehow doesn't allow network printing. Still I needed something light enough to carry around.
