I have tried Calibre & SumatraPDF, I was so excited for Calibre until it never worked properly on the one textbook I needed. For example, whenever I went to the next page it would stall on loading forever, and this is apparently a known issue that's [according to the posts I read from the owner] caused by a graphics driver that I'm not interested in delving into just to read an ebook.
The ebook itself is pretty large with a lot of mathematical equations and images, but nothing my computer should be stalling on. The issue with SumatraPDF is that it can't seem to render the mathematical equations properly, and I couldn't find any simple way to load them without having to do more work.

Mine is this:
Run up, swing your left leg behind you while popping up with your right angle into a corkscrewing front flip. Pull your right leg and kick into the opponents temple at a 45 degree angle before landing on your left leg and spinning a full 360 before standing up facing the opposite direction, and walk away.
I'm probably never using that in a fight but it'd be a cool party trick.

I just received an Unknown Tracker alert on my Pixel 7 running Android 14 beta 5 for an Apple air tag that was on my son in laws key chain as I had borrowed his car.
I heard this was coming but didn't expect it so soon!
Quite impressed with both the information given and the general advice and steps to take offered.
The first notification was "Tracker Travelling With You: Unknown Apple air tag detected. The owner can see your location."
Touching "more info" then shows a map of where the tracker has been with me and the option to make the tracker play a sound to help locate it, with a note that the owner won't know you've done that.
Then more advice and options:
- If you feel unsafe, get help.
- Get and save tracker info
- Disable the tracker (with a how-to guide on battery removal)
And a ”need more help" link.
As I said, I had heard about this coming but was pleasantly surprised at how good it was and the general advice and help offered up.
Nice seeing things like this done right.
