The Daylight DC1 got the right stuff: #eink, #Android and a #Wacom stylus. But I got the same with my Onyx Boox devices. Do I really need 60FPS at $729?
Dailyight Computer came out of nowhere recently, to much fanfare from the tech community: https://daylightcomputer.com/
I am a little skeptical for one reason alone. I've listened to a few interviews with the founder, and I am getting a lot of the painkiller-induced, crypto-bro, everything-sucks-let-me-fix-it narrative, which I don't think I enjoy.
Daylight is like what the reMarakable would have looked like, if it were funded solely on Bitcoin.
I need to work on an eink display editor/terminal theme that uses font weight, italics, underlining, highlighting, etc. rather than colors for syntax highlighting. #eink
Spricht noch irgendwas gegen E-Ink im #öpnv außer vielleicht der Preis? Im Sommer kommen 42-Zoll-Schirme mit RGB-Layer (Kaleido 3). Auflösung reduziert sich zwar durch die indirekte Farbproduktion (es gibt keine Farbkörner im Panel). Aber es wirkt ausreichend auf mich und sie schalten binnen 0,5 s. Die Spectra-Demo vom letzten Jahr sieht natürlich cooler aus.
Pre-ordered Bigme B251, the standalone monitor! As someone who spends a lot of hours in front of a screen, moving to eink on my smartphone and now my desk - connected to my laptop - I’m really excited to use it!
What a teaser!!! I would have gotten Hisense A9 CC, but sadly Hisense no longer makes eink smartphones. Wondering if Bigme will bring these to Europe. They have licensed Google Play, and hopefully they come with at least Android 13? Would love to review it!
The joy of some good automation! Automatically sending PDFs of all unread tagged items from @goodlinks to the #ReMarkable#eink tablet using #Shortcuts.
30h20 minutes thus far, 23h14 minutes to go 😎 power of eink, LineageOS energy efficiency. And if I would go Googleless, it would be more. Connected to 4G, WiFi at home, syncing active etc.
To install:
1- Unlock your bootloader! THIS IS A MUST.
2- follow these commands:
adb reboot bootloader
-- wait until you see a white screen with FastBoot
fastboot reboot fastboot
-- wait until you see a dark screen with a menu
fastboot flash system /path/to/rom.img
-- wait until it finishes flashing
fastboot -w
fastboot reboot
I'll keep working on the app, but for now, refresh and speed setting is working when pressing the refresh eink button!
🆕 blog! “eInk Display for Octopus's Agile Energy Tariff”
I'm a little bit obsessed with building eInk displays. They're pretty cheap second hand. They're low energy, passive displays, with good-enough performance for occasional updates. Here's a new one which shows me what the current cost of my electricity is: Background After installing solar panels, a …
