That’s absolutely insane. I’m exactly the kind of person that would be interested in the RM2 but every time it comes up on HN I learn something new that keeps me away. Strange business.
That’s absolutely insane because it’s a blatant lie. https://support.remarkable.com/s/article/Using-reMarkable-wi...
I am one of the original kickstarter backers and got mine at a very favorable price compared to what they are selling it for now. As a original kickstarter backer they also provided me with a free tier for their subscription service so I am not paying anything extra to have full functionality, this is very important to me because I am not very excited of subscription based software features - remarkable please take n…
Saying this as a former ReMarkable owner (and kickstarter backer) who ended up only using the device as a notepad, after learning that I read in a non-linear fashion which doesn't work well on the relatively slow screen. And for notes, I ended up deciding that paper is simpler that dragging yet another device around.
Still, I highly recommend the ReMarkable and my device happily lives on as a school notebook for my son.

That's a selective quote. I'm talking about being able to get files on and off the device. That notwithstanding, looking at the page you link, let's look at each heading and what it says.

There's some quite good forks of that code too.
Myself and couple of friends have been considering it, but dropped due to aggressive and ridiculous "marketing" tactics. Perhaps it's a fine device, but no thanks. Good luck with subscription for connection. Settled with Huawei MatePad Paper and couldn't be happier.
I was sort of considering getting one and using emacs through tmux. To do light programming and writing
I feel the latency should be tolerable. Though I worry about how much the screen flickers/refreshes
I'm using a Moaan Mix 7 and the constant screen refresh makes anything that's not entirely static a bit or a pain to look at. (Even a small "loading" spinner on screen forces a screen refresh every 10 seconds)
I'm curious: how does Amazon's foray into this sector affect anyone's feelings? Do people want a single-purpose device like this, or would they rather have a multi-purpose Kindle (or iPad, with more functionality but much less battery life)?
The big differentiator in these products is drawing latency. Currently there's only two with barely acceptable level IMO: Remarkable 2 and Supernote a5x/a6x, both around 30ms. I can't find any numbers for the Kindle Scribe so I guess no one has tested yet. But I also bet if Amazon was proud of the number they'd be shouting about it - especially if it was better than the others. So Remarkable and Supernote are probabl…

Our (multi billion dollar) company had to tell the exec "no" for these because of the weak security. They just dont seem to care. Other wise we would have hundreds in the business.

Okay, I misunderstood your original point. Thought by cloud you meant subscription.

i.e. "someone else's computer". I want the core advertised reMarkable features to be on my computer(s). Not half mine, half theirs.
I loved my Remarkable 1/2, used both of them daily. For awhile, Remarkable felt like the best in class e-ink tablet. The writing experience is lovely. I ended up giving them away after 1-2 years of use though. Currently prefer Onyx Box Nova Air C for the backlight, color e-ink, and split screen capabilities. Since Onyx runs an Android variant, I can use Libby/Overdrive to check out audio/ebooks from my local library.…
Call me old fashioned, but I just cannot take a product with a name like this seriously.
Is it a knockoff sold by OODREEFT on Amazon? Does it come pre-installed with Chinese spyware?
That’s the signal a name like that gives me. Same for the fact that it runs an android variant.
Even if the remarkable software is sometimes suboptimal at least they took the time to build their own.
