are there concrete cases you're thinking about?
It's china. They have been caught putting chips in servers to infiltrate US companies. It's everywhere. The CCP takes what the CCP wants. If you work for one of these companies like Huawei, or Boox or whatever, when the Chinese government asks you to do something nefarious, you comply because you want to keep existing. They ain't asking.

There are other companies now. Plastic Logic and OED are two I know of.
I checked them out and as far as I could tell, both are making displays based on E-ink's film. E-ink is also a major shareholder of Plastic Logic. As I was saying, E-ink is the only game in town making the film. All the others are making displays based on it.
Jesus H Christ. Sigh... Just have a google again on OED and at least read the first page of their website properly. It is clear to me the level of confidence in your claims corresponds inversely with the level of accuracy of the facts.

thinking the same thing. how damaging to the brand that once I hear Huawei, I think of spyware.
If I had to choose between China and Big Tech spying on me (and I technically do) I would pick China any and every time honestly.
Cool, please point me to it.
If not, your comment makes no sense.
BTW, if such a setting were available, I’d choose spying by Big Tech any day over spying by CCP/China.
Else, I want neither.

Does the Remarkable 2 have "templates" for pages? A couple years ago I went from a largely "paperless" life to using a daily planner, largely for my daily work and personal TODO lists, and have found the process very valuable. I toyed around with making a custom template for my daily notes/lists, and using the RocketBook ecosystem (maybe with just my own printed templates and using their app for scanning), but in the…
Out of curiousity, which planner do you use and which feature(s)/layouts are the most useful for you? I've started building custom pdf planners for these eInk devices (I'm an rM2 owner myself) and am always looking for insight on how people use them. Have a little website setup for this at https://hyperpaper.me
The TODO lists I mark with Done, Won't Do, or Rescheduled for the future. That process is valuable, if I push something off too many times, I evaluate if I really need to do it.
I started with the Panda Planner Pro, but I ended up finding the personal and reflective things more onerous than useful. So once I filled up the first one I moved to the Amazon Basics Daily Planner ( https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B078GVYRZG/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b... ), which I mostly like. I like having two days of todos at once, because I can just see more that way. I'd probably be just as happy to have 3-4 todo columns per 2 pages, 5 would be convenient but probably too small.
I'm considering the Clever Fox Pro for the next one, but it's $40 while it has a nice week view, it probably doesn't have enough todo entries, I really need a good 10-15 per day. Maybe I just need a week todo, with daily "priorities". That would probably be ideal.
I'd like to try the "timeslots" where I plan out my todo a bit more with times, but that may or may not work.

To be honest, I'd likely get one if I could read my work emails, check my calendar and keep myself up-to-date through my RSS feeds natively from it.
Remarkable is perhaps not clear enough that this isn't what they expect you to do with the Remarkable.

Perhaps it's not as remarkable as it claims to be.

Are you saying there’s a setting somewhere where I can choose between spying by China and spying by Big Tech? Cool, please point me to it. If not, your comment makes no sense.

I disagree with you but I don't think the downvotes you're getting are justified. If you really do prefer Chinese spying, why so?
Remarkable 2 is better, because of the features it doesn't have. The best feature of Remarkable 2 is how quiet it is, it doesn't do anything except for Book reading and note taking. No notifications, no messaging, no email, quiet tech.
I was skeptical because of the cost, but it's honestly been a hugely valuable investment for my work. I don't even turn wifi on and don't care about syncing. All I want is something I enjoy using to write notes throughout the day, sketch out ideas, and organize my day. Yes, there's a trillion other tools, software, apps, paper notebooks, whatever that I could use to do this. The point for me is that I didn't use thos…

There is no "other company". E-ink owns the parents, the fabs and the secret sauce to profitably producing quality e-ink film in good yelds. Even without the parents, building fabs and the film profitably without their secret sauce would be impossible. It's kind of like the early days of OLED when Samsung was the only one who could fab the tech profitably.
> E-ink owns the parents, the fabs and the secret sauce to profitably producing quality e-ink film in good yelds. fabs? Jesus H Christ. Based on just that one sentence, I can guarantee you have 0 experience and 0 direct knowledge of the display industry. Your statement is the equivalent to saying "Microsoft owns the parents (sp), the fabs and the secret sauce to profitably producing quality operating systems in good…
