    XTEink isn't using ESP32-S3 but C3. That S3 dev board from OP also comes with 8MB PSRAM (xteink/C3: 384kB RAM only) which IIUC makes quite the difference when it comes to building …

    For me Tectonic[1] solved many of the issues I had with LaTeX, so that's what I'd recommend if you still depend on LaTeX as a language. Make sure to use the V2 CLI (`tectonic -X`) …

    "USB-C 2.0" in the specs reveals that. DisplayPort Alt Mode requires at least USB 3.0, the PinePhone Pro would be a Linux phone supporting that. On another note, I've successfully …

    Given how many platforms these have been ported to, this really is the DOOM of puzzle apps. I've been using this PocketBook port on my e-reader for years: https://github.com/Steffe…

    Right? It would be the single most useful feature for me. Unfortunately my device doesn't have libavf which seems to be needed for this to work. I don't even need 3d acceleration, …
