reMarkable 2 Tablet Forensics
If it's running v2, pretty much anything here will be able to read them. If it's running v3, your options are much more limited at the moment, for example this library or this library.

Updates regarding reverse engineering ReMarkable version 3/ .rm v6 files
ddvk published his reverse engineered ReMarkable v6 file format. His parser is available on Github.
-
Has anyone on 3.0 extracted highlights from 3rd party app?
I'm not sure what the current state of the art is, but there's some progress on https://github.com/ddvk/reader , and there's always the Discord server for more up to date info.

Continuous scrolling is the most frustrating thing I have seen
As I mentioned elsewhere, the v3.0 .rm format is totally different from the 2.x. First attempt to rev eng it is https://github.com/ddvk/reader AFAIK.
-
File structure the same in 3.0?
I had a closer look into the new format and it's indeed completely different from the one used in v2.x :-( This will take a lot of work to reengineer. Fortunately, as the remy developer told me, at ddvk there is a work in progress to analyse it. Still a long way to go, it seems.

Archiving Tagged Notebooks?
What I do is I create backups with rsync (so "low-level" backups of the actual data the tablet is using to represent the notebooks, not just the rendered pdf). Then I use Remy to browse them if needed. (Disclaimer: I'm the developer of Remy) It currently lacks a way to export/import the notebooks in native formats (that would allow you to restore archived ones through the GUI) so if you need that you need to do it manually, which requires some basic knowledge of how the notebooks are internally stored.
-
My remarkable arrives today. Which hacks do you recommend?
reMy and RCU are the best alternative desktop clients. The former has a focus on notebooks, while the latter is focused on ease-of-use and does it all (templates/notebooks/wallpaper/and much more). Both use their own rendering engine for custom PDF export options. Neither installs anything to your tablet, so they usually work through software updates. (Disclaimer: I am the author of RCU).
-
If I broke or lost my ReMarkable 2, would I be able to download all the old notes onto a new one?
You can also take backups using easy, convenient, community-written software, like RCU (which I'm the author of), reMy, reMarkable HyUtilities, rmExplorer, rmAPI, and many others found in the Awesome reMarkable list.
-
High Size PDFs and Cloud
You could use something local, that uploads over SSH instead of the Web UI. The Web UI and rM Cloud choke on files over a few hundred MBs. reMy + 2.x firmware might be what you're looking for -- it has sync capability. (I assume OneDrive has something like a shared PC folder that you can use as the target directory.)
-
Big note files - timeout on usb webserver export
You could try reMy, which has its own renderer. There are more rendering programs in the Awesome reMarkable list, many of which will work with 2.15 and below--just avoid anything saying 'cloud' or 'web UI'.
-
OCR/LaTeX Update
Mathpix has this functionality and is cheap. I integrated it into Remy, see here for a demo (although it's a bit outdated, the app has now way more features). It's not a fully fledged integration, I was planning to use it for having a search index that could match on handwriting but had no time to implement it.
-
Exporting highlighted text pdf
If you need support for the new v3 software update, not sure. Otherwise Remy can do that for you
-
So, which file management tools are you still using?
I use my own Remy tool (in conjunction with rsync for backups). Unfortunately it is not working with v3 just yet but I plan to eventually add support for it, once the effort to reverse engineer the new file format settles.
-
Support for Remarkable lines version=6 File Format (.rm files)
You're not alone :-); we started discussing it here https://github.com/bordaigorl/remy/issues/49
-
Continuous scrolling is the most frustrating thing I have seen
But parsing and rendering are two different things. RCU used to use the remy parsing, while the developer put considererable effort into the rendering himself. Yet he wasn't satisfied (I was) and started to completely rebuild it. That's where he lost interest in RCU :-(
