I had similar concerns before I snagged it but I’ve read multiple books on it so far front to back. It’s wonderful. Extremely happy with it. vCodex is a great firmware but even crosspoint is quite good! My wife reads on a kindle with a larg

Xteink doesn’t have a front light or touchscreen. It can’t keep time. A lot of people dislike the stock firmware. The battery isn’t user-replaceable. Xteink is smaller, thinner, and magnetic. It’s cheaper and available today. It has physica

The ads are less intrusive than paid subscriptions from the providers IMO. Not a fan of the double-dip either though.

Use the share menu and select the News app and it’ll open the story in it. Not as easy as those app banners but still not too difficult.

That’s fun! Couple of things I would suggest: Maybe get rid of 1-2 character words in the word counter? Seems easy for it to hit things like i or ie etc. I would love to see a counter that ignores those at least Also the report card section

Aqua mode really feels like walking through water. It has that same level of resistance on your legs. I don't believe a weighted vest provides that same feel, but I'm not entirely sure how they differ either.

There was another brand that went through Kickstarter recently: https://dnsys.ai/ I have one of their units. It definitely assists with hiking in the standard modes and the "aqua mode" on the device does increase

Throwing another vote out there for Supernote. Very responsive, particularly around handwriting - which feels flawless. Been a perfect device for me, but more limited than a Boox. That’s fine for my use-case, but still worth calling out.

The camera is one of the most important features for me. I had (and returned) a pair of INMO Air2's primarily because of the poor camera quality. Waiting to see how the TCL RayNeo X2 performs (was supposed to ship in December, still wa

Nebula might be worth checking out, I've heard it's pretty good but I have not personally used it. https://nebula.org/whole-genome-sequencing-dna-test/

Sharing with everyone else that has a subscription, or is enticed enough to snag one. I’m not sure why you feel it needs to be free in order for you to consume it? But OK - the rest will just subscribe or move on.

Because? I subscribe to WSJ - so I can read this just fine. I don’t see why you can’t as well if you find the content interesting. It’s the same with academic journals, people are just sharing what’s interesting and that just so happens to

Are you looking for more DIY on the hardware side or more of a commercial offering? Wicked Lasers has a pretty neat "laser cube" that has APIs available for it. https://www.laseros.com/ https://github.c

It was pretty bad but they did include a color switcher in the top-right so you can go to white/black.

There's no real argument here. Your phone is a perfectly good clock, but the watch wearables are neat too. Same with these types of devices.

It's a wearable like a watch, whose main purpose is to be a digital assistant using server-side AI. It has its own plan so it's always connected. The things I've liked that you can do with it are like: * Take a photo/vid

100% it should be an accessory. It's a bit weird to carry another phone around - it's gonna be a WHILE before this replaces them, if it ever does. But all the hardware is great and having that all in that pin location is pretty ni

I received one of these as a gift from someone. I was obviously skeptical but started using it and there's definitely a few areas where it REALLY excels at. The team tried to do waaaaay too much here... If they had more time or less am

Have you ever seen anyone struggle to even use an iPhone? I have. These interfaces aren't completely natural enough for everyone to grok. As I stated, I saw a potential use-case with the illiterate - tech or otherwise. I think this is

There really isn't anything of substance in this article. Just a low-quality complaint about AI and AI devices with such hot-takes as: > You will notice that many of these tasks are just interacting with the lazy Silicon Valley dips
