Doesn't it seem odd in the pictures and video the model is holding the pen/stylus as a rather unnatural angle. No shots where the models hand is touching the screen at the same time as the pen. I'd have thought that would be a feature they would want to promote (and would be shocked if this device does not have it), just seems odd.

I have a hisense eink pocket reader(5.84") and it has an eink refresh button. It's hisense's degoogled android(only support chinese and english and some menus have weird grammar). But what's interesting is that if you hold the extra button it launches into a notes app which has dictation and unlike googles own dictation it does a pretty good job at capturing both chinese and english without needing to switch. I didn'…
Does this actually fit in your pocket? Front or back? I have a Kobo Mini with a 5" screen that's perfectly pocketable, but it's on its last legs, and the 2012-era e-ink lag is noticeable. I have looked at modern options but they're all 6" minimum with a lot of bezel, which means they won't fit.
There's a few more obscure Chinese options. Xiaomi has the 5.2" Inkpalm 5 mini. Runs Android but you need to convert it to English yourself. Aliexpress also has random 4.3" eInk devices.

You're comparing apples to oranges - those are social networks where multiple people have to come to some sort of consensus, having rules over that consensus sure, can be a feature. I don't need anyone to agree with me to turn off notifications.
Devices with notifications are little skinner boxes for our brains. There's perfectly valid reasons for people to want a device where notifications are not even an option, just like there's valid reasons for alcoholics to not want booze in the house. If that's not an issue for you - congratulations, those devices are not designed for you. But please don't deny others them, just because you don't think they should exi…
Nobody said the Remarkable shouldn't exist. The question was whether the lack of a feature that can be disabled is a feature, which it isn't. You know what else doesn't send notifications and doesn't even need a battery? Paper.

Please, it's 2022: anything that is not open source is suspicious of being spyware. We don't even trust our own governments, how on earth are we going to trust any private company (Huawei, Google, Apple, etc.)?
Ok, but Huawei outranks them all and the entire telecom world knows why. If you have to choose a lesser evil, choose someone else
See, now I'm curious. I don't work in telecom. Why does Huawei outrank them all?

Why are you lumping China with the actual invaders? There's the Taiwan mess, and China don't participate in the sanctions regime, but it's not the same thing as actively invading. ( For the record, i think that sanctioning Russia is the morally correct thing to do)
China refuses to condemn Russia and is towing their "peacekeeping" "denazification" line.
No longer, today they said they'll work for peace and condemn the violence.

> You prefer China (presumably here we mean the CCP) There only exists one official China on this planet... > because some American companies have done the moral wrong Do we really wanna talk about all the wrong American governments and/or corporations have done in the past 75 years? Or how many resources they depleted while large parts of the World were barely surviving? Are you sure?
Yes, go ahead and directly compare the US with China. How many deaths can be directly attributed to each? How free are the citizens of China to criticize the Chinese leadership? The US? Which of the two country's practice organ harvesting? Which of the two country's is practicing ethnic cleansing right now? Is there a single historical event in the US that everyone is in fear of discussing at all? How about talking a…
Both. Both. Both.
In different forms, but, more or less, all of this occurred in both US and CN. And other countries too. People get butthurt a lot when someone's criticizing their country, but I don't care about countries, I care about humanity. And it was hard to overcome all the brainwashing.

#187As an American, I'd rather have a foreign actor spying on me than my own government. The foreign actor has no jurisdiction over me.
You haven't thought this one through my friend.

It is, though, and examples have been provided of VERY successful platforms built upon this negative space.
Consider the lack of a feature as a feature itself; it lowers the amount of cognitive brainpower required to use the system, and that is VERY valuable.

The US would still be required to abide by the Fourth Amendment though.

So why am I worried about China again?
Re: Huawei MatePad Paper – eInk Tablet
#19010.3" is too small for a paper replacement - writing notes on such devices is too imprecise if one e.g. annotates PDFs etc. I got the latest Onyx A4 and that's the size that can be finally used to replace paper for all types of documents.
Is it the Boox Max Lumi 2? I'm considering getting one, any observations?
