Great stuff. Who needs beautiful art when you can instead adorn you wall with an endless string of shameless propaganda and false narratives?

#92The screen is so expensive it destroys any idea of indie use of this.
You'll only see it at the offices of companies that want to pretend they're indie and hackery.

#95https://pbs.twimg.com/media/E3SYn_SXIAYAIlI?format=jpg&name=... I actually replicated this myself, with one extra feature; I got the screen framed . The 'trick' is that there's no glass section of the frame, the wood just boxes the screen and hides the fact that the bezel is not all the same width. This only cost another £100 at a framer, and I really recommend it.
Same screen?
I believe so. Visionect 32"

#96Would this work with magic mirror? https://magicmirror.builders/ If so I will order right away
Probably not, given that ePaper is reflective and not emissive.
The mirror (reflective) is not what matters. Magic mirror is just a OSS dashboard with lots of modules designed to go on a screen. My question is can you load Javascript and things that refresh on this screen.

#97This screen comes with a subscription based cloud CMS. The only way to pass image to this display semms to be through a proprietary application which is this so called CMS. There are no other connectivity options mentioned. You are unable to use this screen if: - subscription is not paid - company decides to terminate your subscription under any condition of your contract - company decides to sunset software or a pro…
No, this isn't true. I run the Visionect software suite (https://docs.visionect.com/VisionectSoftwareSuite/index.html) on a Raspberry pi and the screen talks to it over localhost. No outbound connectivity or subscription is needed.

#98Earlier quoted context omitted.
Depends on the person but it doesn't seem completely impossible - ignoring inflation, $250/yr for If they can manage it in 3min rather than 5, it's up to $13.70/hr. Where I am (UK) I think most newspaper delivery people are aged 13-18, and while there's far less of them about than when I was a kid, I wouldn't be surprised if >50% would be willing to do it to earn an extra $4.80/week. Of course, you also need to trust…
You have conveniently left out the cost differential for the printed edition, and you are conveniently pricing the trust/risk/hassle that comes with it at 0. And even in this case I doubt the USD 5 pw is the market price, you are basically assuming there is a kid, who values extra pocket money. So all in all, USD 2500 seems unrealistic.
The assumption about a kid for pocket money is relevant because a) lots of people doing the job of delivery papers are kids already and b) even if they're not, they're some doing the same job for minimum or less than minimum wage so presumably have similar desire or need for earning money for simple work.
And as mentioned, the person who suggested it being possible was talking about using an existing physical subscription not paying for that within the $2.5k

It’s not clear that is still supported (or indeed legally licensed) or that it will be in the future.

#100I'm a news junkie, and the power and allure of a newspaper's front page have always fascinated me. When I stumbled upon an article written by a Google engineer who had built an e ink device with the front page of his favorite daily newspaper prominently displayed on his wall, I was a bit jealous. So, I worked with a e-ink company called Visionect in Slovenia to build a version that comes shipped ready to put on your…
I make a similar product, with a smaller screen and at a lower price point. It’s very cool what you have done, let’s maybe collaborate or join forces? My product is an e-paper calendar: https://shop.invisible-computers.com/products/invisible-cale...
Is that an eBook with custom software and a frame? The price point is indeed very tempting.
