Picture of one of the first prototypes (from 2015 or thereabouts) from remarkable.com/careers, guess the naming scheme: https://images.ctfassets.net/og7ujiyra5gx/15KAaMUsNXP8cQu3lP…

We generally have a policy of not communicating externally by default (way too many startups have failed because of loose lips and over-promising), but I'll answer with what's alre…

Hmm, I thought we were at 2017.75, are you sure your device is up to date? We shipped the first software with an old dropbear, though it had backported patches for the known CVEs: …

> [...] but having a mosh console on there would allow here to ditch her macbook. [..] Being able to code on it would also cause me to get one and ditch my iPad Pro. Not officially…

please see https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13114550 for an explanation of the bad wording of "best" developers. I'm not trying to imply anything, but what I personally want an…

we're far too late in the development process to add to the features of the hardware, but backlight is one of the ideas for a next generation.

> If your software is closed source, then I don't understand how anyone other than you effectively (or practically) would be able to solve or fix any security holes. I'm sorry if I…

there are two epdc drivers in the kindle gpl releases. the source for the lab126 one is only available in the tarballs you linked (named mxc_epdc_fb_lab126.c). as for the waveforms…

Again, I can't discuss too many technical details. But yes, it's an i.MX6SL, I thought we mentioned that on the web page. And there are actually several drivers for the EPDC availa…

it won't take many weeks (or days) from we release the device until our solution is reverse engineered, no matter how much we lock it down. but until then we want to keep as much a…

just to clear up any possible confusion; don't expect text recognition. it's probably the most requested feature, but it's a really, really hard problem. but please send me a messa…

this is one of the reasons we need to get this in the hands of some kind of ambassadors that can test for themselves and give us some validation. imho the video doesn't do it much …

no backlight, and as I explained above we can't promise anything other than what is written on the webpage already wrt. features.

the reasons we decided against usb c are a) the device would have to be thicker, b) our industrial designer didn't like how it would look, and most importantly; c) I still have a h…

we went to CES this year to see if there was any reason for us to go, but based on that we decided not to. it's insanely huge and hard to get any kind of exposure, even if people k…

sssh, it feels good to believe I'm saving the lives of children. :-(

of course, one of the nice things with modern hardware is that we can deliver more features after shipping the device. edit; also, it is a device connected to the internet. not sup…

> apart from the mass-production uncertainties these uncertainties is why we hired Dragon Innovation early on. they're very, very good at this and has a very good track record when…

academia is one of the biggest target groups, both in terms of marketing and development focus.

"best developers" was a bit tongue in cheek, it was late and I didn't have time to come up with good wording (I'm not a good word person). but what I tried to convey; we know that …

we can't release more technical details than what is on the webpage for now, we're still working on the performance. but to give you a rough idea on where we are on UI responsivene…

no, we don't use Android, unlike pretty much everyone else. and the EPD is designed by e ink based on our requirements, e. g. the size and high DPI.

our goal for solving it was to get it down to where it wasn't a detriment for the writing and sketching experience. one of the first things we did was gather data and read what res…

> I guess we (i.e techie internet folks, you included) have been served so many crowd funded promises that it's difficult to believe things that are too good to be true. well, I pe…

they've been dumping the price and trying to empty their warehouses, so I'm not sure if you can actually buy it anymore. at least not outside of japan.
