By way of an experiment - set your phone screen to black & white (in iOS, settings -> accessibility -> display -> color filters -> [on] -> grayscale, on android, settings -> accessibility -> color & motion -> color correction -> [on] -> grayscale), and leave it that way for a day of normal use. Then, turn it off, and note how you react to the change. Folks aren't calling it calmer because they're trying to look erudi…
Just ignore them? Don't use manipulative apps? I suppose for some people this is an issue and they genuinely want a physical solution in order to stop habitually doing things they don't like, like Odysseus wanting to be tied to the mast to avoid the Sirens. I can predict how my behavior would change if I tried this: I'd be pissed off because you'd ruined my game of Heroes III (1999). And Brogue would be slightly less…
>it's not like I need freeing from a hypnotic spell.
Well, that's exactly what many social media addicts do need.

You guessed it right :)

> This all looks like snobbery to me, based on the association of monochrome paper with novels and writing and intellectual pursuits You say it like it is a bad thing. It is associated with novels and writing and intellectual pursuits, because it's less suitable for video/graphics focused social media, videos, and games. > but times have changed and now it's iPhones that are sinful, and monochrome displays are virtuo…

"We" being me, various studies, the US "surgeon general", statistics...
>But it's strange to extend that to "buy this device since its joyless monochrome display won't enthrall you"
I never proposed or said anything about "buying this device". I answered the parent and explained why such a device could help with smartphone overuse/doomscrolling issues.
In fact I even explained how switching your existing device to b&w is often recommended for this purpose (which obviously means ...you don't need "this device" for achieve this).
>unless you have a specific personal problem about compulsion.
Tons of people have specific personal problems about compulsion, especially when it comes to their social media use.

#545Hi yall, founder of Daylight here. Happy to answer any questions you have. Long time lurker, so this is pretty cool to finally take part :) I made this because I wanted the eye-strain free and minimalist qualities of my kindle/Eink applied to so much more of what I do on a computer. Lack of speed and ghosting felt like it made traditional Eink impossible to do most computing tasks. So we focused on making the most Pa…
Is there a description somewhere of the actual tech?What's the reason you were able to invent fast-refresh e-ink-like displays when no one else could for over two decades?

#546Is it possible to see it offline?
Looks interesting but I'd like to see it before dropping $729.
Also can it work as an external monitor? I suppose there's Android app for it of course, but "natively"?

#547What an obnoxious website to use on a mobile device
It's 21st centrury and unfortunate prevalence of form over substance.

Seems like you're... defending the exploitation of compulsive behavior. Most media platforms are designed to exploit the same behavioural patterns s gambling, and it makes perfect sense to be able to restrict the likelihood of undesirable possible intrusions. If you want to isolate the act of reading or doing anything else without the possibility of being drawn over to an endless stream of videos, seems like a joyful…
Well no, I'm defending the enjoyment of colorful games. Or picture books, or comics. And I'm disputing the idea that compulsivity is prevalent and that it's beyond the power of the user to say "this is dumb, I'm stopping now" when the only way the app tries to exert control is via little colorful animations. More realistically, I think it's irrational mindsets such as "I need the world to like me" (or something, don'…
>Well no, I'm defending the enjoyment of colorful games. Or picture books, or comics
Yes, because we were totally discussing the healthy enjoyment of those things, and not digital overuse and addictive behavior to social media and the like /s

Oh, sweet summer child.

The product looks very good. However I did NOT like the marketing claim on the front page that points out it is "blue-light free". The claim that blue light is harmful is not really that scientifically proven and if one has blue light at home (awful LED fixtures) this device will happily reflect it, will it not? Please correct me if I'm wrong, I love building light fixtures and 3000K low voltage halogen light, which…
Unless the device absorbs the “nocive” part of the spectrum toward ultraviolet, you are correct saying it would reflect it.

yes, academia should totally love this, but my experience is that they just all got used to reading papers on their laptops or tablets. but I would totally love this. in fact, I have a remarkable tablet just for reading "papers" ( ahem Dungeons & Dragons PDFs). but switching quickly between pages is tricky there...
That depends. Back in the day, in my research institute, it was common practice to print out the papers that should be read thoroughly - after skimming them on a Laptop screen.
I read most papers on a secondary 19" monitor that's mounted portrait. Seems to cover all the requirements
