don't get me wrong, i'm as excited as anyone about the prospect of a new pda in 2024 it's a shame it's android, but honestly what else would it be?

While the S Pen is in its holster, it is close to the internal components of the phone, which will generate heat while in use, and cause the plastic to heat up. This can smell like burning, but it is similar to the smell you might experience after leaving your car in the sun for a few hours. The seats and plastic fittings in the vehicle might smell hot, but this will diminish after it cools.

qirex posted:the boox palma looks interesting but it’s clearly a second device and not a phone and a little pricy [$279] for a one trick pony I have this one trick pony and its main win is that it's bigger and lighter than my phone. eink settings and volume/page turn buttons can be set per-app and I have long piano fingers so holding it is easy, and less of a balancing act than, say, a paperwhite but yeah the price is a bit high compared to the glut of ereaders. the build quality is okay and I had to return one for a more even frontlight. as an apple user both are annoying, but maybe that's par for weird android devices? I also feel a bit silly carrying a second phone-sized device, but for bed and couch reading it's really comfortable

i have one of the boox android eink tablets, and quite like it. it is not a slam dunk for anything, and is very pricy really, but the flexibility does pay off here and there. biggest bit for me being that my municipal library have an android app for ebooks/audiobooks, which i can then easily use. there's some workflow to put borrowed books onto other ereaders, but it is a lot fiddlier than just having the app right there to tap at the thing you want. also some document annotation, where it being general android helps me in that marking students reports happens in a web-app which i can just browse to on the thing. i'll absolutely keep an eye on the transflective lcd one too though, once you put android and a semi-proper soc on it you're already harming battery life enough to undermine a lot of the eink sell, so perhaps you might as well get a better refresh rate as well. or maybe i'll get an ipad.

yeah, being android-based made it super easy to get basically any ebook program on it, which is a huge plus. I also use it for my rss feeds and news, too, since the screen is easier to stare at at length

idk i have to imagine you’d only want to be reading text and maybe looking at basic pictures. anything too dynamic you’re not going to want to do on eink really. so ripping text and pictures shouldn’t be impossible though i’d guess it’d be a subscription unless you ran some open source proxy through a vpn to your home computer

i think it was tcl that released a regular anroid but with a rough matte display like what you'd find on an eink device, and it was pretty clear that you don't really want anything dynamic on even that

yeah, static content like these forums and bluesky are the limit of tolerable. video does play but they obviously thought that was an edge case because the speakers are paltry the effect, with the settings cranked to ultrafast, is like an animated newspaper which is neat but not especially useful. the trick to getting fast responses is to switch from full grayscale to dynamic posterization

that isn't even the first very smelly pen!quote:I love the Noodler's Ahab pen. I've had it for a couple of weeks and enjoyed using it very much. But the smell is quite annoying. Some people might like the smell, but not me. I've read somewhere that the smell disappears after a while. But is there a way to make it go away faster? I've tried washing it a few times; smell still persist. Thanks. quote:Just received my first Ahab and thought our toddler had vomited somewhere in the room. It's awful. Any help would be appreciated! quote:New quote:OK, Folks, those pens are made of cellulose acetate butyrate, though, a plastic that is manufactured with and gradually releases butyric acid, which is the key odor compound in rotten milk and vomit. a lot of old tool handles are made of the same stuff, which is why sometimes you open a drawer full of old screwdrivers at grandpa's house and phwoowoooooooo anyway the more you know

Sagebrush posted:that isn't even the first very smelly pen! also parmesan there’s a really great and fascinating food called appalachian salt-leavened bread. it’s a wild fermented dough that uses a salted starter to grow clostridium perfringens on potato slices. c perf produces butyric acid as a key metabolite so the bread has a savoury flavour to it. denser crumb too thanks to the production of more h2 there’s no genes for toxicity so it’s safe as long as you bake things thoroughly like with any wild dough. incidentally if you’re making a sourdough starter and it starts smelling like parmesan cheese, it’s likely been infected by a clostridium

Specifically, an American voice from California. A lot of those other states have really weird accents going on.
