An Android eink device would solve this problem. I'd like recommendations.


I've been using a Supernote Manta for the past month and I love it. It's not a full-on computer, and it has its own UI that discourages you from treating it like one, but it is in fact an Android device. I've installed Syncthing and a few other small niceties, and it is amazing to be able to carry a big collection of PDFs around with me that I've curated on my laptop, desktop, phone. One of the "native" apps is Amazon Kindle, which is great, because I occasionally want to read one of those books on a bigger screen. The pen is good, and feels fine, although I prefer the feel of the ReMarkable.

Downside: there is no backlight. Others claim that the screen updates are too slow to make typing practical, but I personally don't think that. I installed termux and I think it's fine. Screen updates are no worse than SSH over a cellphone connection. I have not really found a good RSS reader for it yet, though...


Boox is fantastic. I have the Palma and it's been very enjoyable, since it's pocketable and has excellent power management, so despite being android, the battery can last 1-2 weeks.


Boox devices are nice, and the stock e-book reader is actually quite good.

The firm's support is decidedly sub-par, however, should you encounter issues. I'd advise not splurging on their higher-end (larger) devices on the potential lost investment. Though a 13" screen is quite delish for reading technical articles.

There's also the GPL compliance question.


I used to call everything a conspiracy theory, but then Glenn Greenwald published "No Place to Hide: Edward Snowden, the NSA and the Surveillance State".

Now i know that reality is worse than the worst conspiracy theorist.


This arms race ends with regulations preventing big tech practices that are nocive for human beings:

- no disguised ads. They must be clearly marked -limit screen real state dedicated to ads - what the user didn't explicitly asked for, is an ad

We can't wait for companies to "do no evil". What would you ad to the list?


- Every ad-supported service must also be provided ad-free at a price no higher than the ad revenue would be.

Ad enthusiasts are always quick to defend how useful ads actually are so let them put their money where their mouth is and have the market decide.

I've seen Ecoflow mentioned on YouTube but I don't know how reliable that is.


If an Anthropic employee did this, he would be in jail.


I thought it would be a decent guy saying he wouldn't work anymore for unethical companies. How is just someone realizing his profits. No news here.


A decent guy would have quit when Musk bought it


The decent people did.


Not all of them. The ones on ridiculously restrictive visas had to stay.


I tought: what an useless product. Than i searched for the price. Then i bought one.


In this war initiated by USA and Israel, it isn't Iran who's attacking civil targets.


Chinese workers earn more than workers from latin America. At least their government isn't slave for billionaires


I really don't mind anymore. My Roku stick is now owned by extreme right Fox Corporation. Chinese ad click network are petty villain compared.
