    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, an…

    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 coun…

    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 …

    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 m…

    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. …

    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 …

    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 res…

    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 …

    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…
