zzzzz,

I’m amazed RedReader doesn’t get more love. It was my chosen third-party app before the API changes and it continues to function flawlessly (with the exception of NSFW content) after the changes. I have stopped browsing Reddit at this point, but feel that a list like this really should celebrate RedReader more…

Thoughts on BOOX Tab Ultra C? (shop.boox.com)

Does anyone here have a BOOX e-paper tablet? I’m a big fan of e-paper devices—I love my Pebble smartwatch, Kindle Paperwhite, and Light Phone II. I’ve been eyeing the Tab Ultra C for quite a while, and I am considering the pros and cons. Mostly, I intend to use it for browsing the web and maybe some light note taking and...

You can’t backlight e-paper. You could get a book light, though!

zzzzz,

E-ink displays are opaque. The Kindles with illumination use side-lighting with a layer of plastic that guides the light across the surface of the device. They are effectively front-lit using LEDs situated around the perimeter of the screen.

zzzzz,

We all know what it means.

I was you once. In 2018, I bought a dumb, black-and-white laser printer (Brother HL-L2300D). It has done nothing but print whenever asked. I’ve only had to change the toner once (to be fair, I print infrequently). It doesn’t require special software. It was cheap. I highly recommend going this route.

zzzzz,

I think the previous poster might not have been being serious.

zzzzz,

You can run them in a VM…

zzzzz,

Well, in this case, it is a lie of omission. It is true that Android devices are massive trackers. But, so are Apple devices.

zzzzz,

Pot calling the pan burnt-arsed

Thank you for this!

zzzzz,

True. Me too. The fact that you can degoogle some Android phones while you cannot de-apple iphones makes the lie of omission particularly vicious.

zzzzz,

Why not just get the storage box and run the Nextcloud instance with the storage box mounted? Just curious.

zzzzz,

What do you mean?
