    For informal spontaneous moments I use a recorder app on my phone.
    For real lectures, I do have a real voice recorder like this. If I’m up front it would just be on my desk/table. If not I put it someplace up front; End of the white board tray, or someplace out of the way while being as close to the speaker as possible.

    Exactly the same problem.
    Either I take notes quickly and can’t read them later, or I take my time and miss at least half of what’s going on.

    I record important things on my phone, or use a real voice recorder in a classroom lecture setting.


  • Of course if one truly can’t afford it, paying for search can seem a luxury.

    However I would argue as a counterpoint; If there’s any online service one would consider paying for, it should be search. Search is most literally our “front page to the internet”. It’s our first stop in any quest for information. Even the founders of Google knew early on, that putting adds in search creates a perverse incentive against the best results, favoring instead worse results, so people perform more searches, creating more opportunities to show people adds.

    $5 a month isn’t much to know your query will give the results you want, instead of the results advertisers want.
