Earlier quoted context omitted.

I'm familiar with the GPL claims. I'm not familiar with the telemetry claims. I'm asking for specific references both to establish the claims and to serve as an anchor reference to anyone encountering this thread in future. Finally, I much prefer DDG, and have used it for about a decade now. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3473250

It was not clear which you claims you were referencing. Your goal of memorializing references was not clear. The request, in the form you posted, does not seem to be a productive way of achieving your ends. This may be especially true because in recent years I have noticed that "citation requested" types of comments are often used as a passive aggressive way of telling someone they're wrong, or the precursor to attac…

Fair points.

What I'd thought I'd asked clearly wasn't communicated.

I frequently request, and provide, references. Including the bare form apparently falling from favour:

Look at the suppression of UNIX do to SCO.. I mean hell this is recorded history. I am honestly surprised I need to even debate this. SCO effectively killed Unix, and harmed Linux and BSD Software patents have a long history of suppression innova…

> This new age of dueling realities is a false. There is only one reality, and mine is based on recorded historical fact, your is based on personal experience and anecdote

I'm confused. What "recorded historical facts" were provided for this claim that E Ink is using patents to prevent progress in the display industry?

> Mine is actual reality, yours is a belief

Ok. Good for you then.

The article misses a significant device: Onyx Nova 3. The major difference between its prior color offering (poke 2) is the integration of a Wacom layer that makes this very good for note taking. The other hardware and software improvements appear to be incremental. Of particular note with all Onyx readers is that they run Android, opening up the ecosystem of the Play store and particularly your note-taking app of ch…

It's worth noting that Onyx violates the Linux kernel license, and has a ton of telemetry that phones home to China. Major down sides for otherwise interesting tech.

What's your basis for the "phones home" claim specifically?

what world economic system is committing mass ecocide and crossing our planetary boundaries by exhausting natural resources?

After I read your comment I don’t see how the article missed this device. The article is about color e-ink technology and it’s progression, not about note taking or Android with e-ink. Why would the Nova 3 be worth mentioning if the color display is not particularly better than what they are describing towards the end?

Did these ACeP readers [1] ever materialize? It sounded like they were a big step forward from existing devices in terms of fidelity and page turn speed. I think I recall reading that they were delayed into 2022, but I haven't heard anything about them recently. 1: https://goodereader.com/blog/e-paper/e-ink-plans-on-adding-a...

It's strange. Like you, I have gotten the impression (from articles such as your link) that ACeP is better than Kaleido. But in this article, they dismiss ACeP as a failure halfway through before moving on to talk about Kaleido.
