Getting the Most from Your Reading: Using Kindle Flashcards
The Adobe Flash Player update virus is one of the common ways cybercriminals try to deposit additional harmful code onto a Mac. It usually operates in tandem with such threats as bogus system utilities that report non-existent problems and thus attempt to manipulate users into activating the licensed copy of the scareware. It works like a normal flashcard app and you can create your own decks (sets) and add. Flashcard Hero keeps track of what facts you already know so you can focus on what you don't know and save a lot of time. LITE VERSION: - Up to 20 cards per deck (unlimited decks) - Unlock unlimited cards and add image-support via In-App Purchase - iCloud can also be unlocked via In-App-Purchase After In-App purchase.
Students have used flashcards for years to learn all kinds of things, from the multiplication tables and Hebrew vocabulary to matching names with faces. But there’s a slightly different reason you should use them to get value from your business books.
People who get the most from reading business books highlight as they go. The Flashcard feature lets you turn your highlights into flashcards that you can use to review. Here are three ways.

Review All Your Highlights
You can turn all your highlights into a deck of flashcards. Then, you can review the flashcards to review the entire book without having to go through it page by page.
I suggest that you create one flashcard deck with all the highlights in order. Then, create a second “all” deck and shuffle it from time to time. That way you can review all your highlights in different ways. That should help your retention.
Reviewing all your highlights is a great way to increase the value you get from a book. But you can get even more value with two more ways to use flashcards.
Make Flashcards of Your Starred Highlights
Kindle lets you star certain highlights, marking them as especially important. I find that my starred highlights are about 20 percent of my total highlights, but they represent the major learning or value that I get out of a book. Make a separate flashcard deck of your starred highlights.
Make Flashcards of Author Summaries
Many business book authors put chapter summaries or action steps or key points at the end of every chapter. You can review those to get a great summary of a book.
I highlight the author summaries or key points in a different color than other highlights. That makes it easy to create a Flashcards deck with just the author summaries. You can do the same thing with these that you do with all your summaries, creating one deck for shuffling and one deck for straight-through review.
Make Reviewing A Habit
If you’ve got Kindle on your phone, you’ve got a readily-available review tool. I try to review part of at least one book every day. This doesn’t take a lot of time, usually around five minutes. Sometimes it triggers an idea I want to put into use right away.
I return to my high-value books in order and review one of my Flashcard decks in each one until I’m done. Then I move onto the next book.
Bottom Line
Kindle Flashcard decks are a great way to review your reading and get more value from it.
| 17 Sep 2020 | ReplyI haven’t found any directions worth reading on how to use the Kindle Flashcards. I managed to make a card, but unable to review it. Unable to add a second card. I guess I’ll just write flash cards on white 3 X 5 cards. I can make a deck of those faster than finding good directions on the Internet.

Many 15-inch MacBook Pro notebooks have two graphics processors (GPU)—a discrete GPU and an integrated GPU. The discrete GPU provides substantial graphics performance but uses more energy. The integrated GPU optimizes battery life by using less energy.
Check if the discrete or integrated GPU is in use
To see which graphics cards are in use, choose Apple () menu > About this Mac. The graphics cards currently in use appear next to Graphics. Learn which integrated GPUs your Mac might have.
Check if an app is using the dedicated GPU
To see if an app is using the higher-performance discrete GPU, open Activity Monitor and click the Energy tab. If you don't see the Requires High Perf GPU column, your computer only has one graphics processor.
In this example, iMovie and Final Cut Pro are using the higher-performance discrete GPU:
