#2That was quite a rollercoaster.

#3This is anxiety-inducing and a good promo for the pinenote!

#4Not trying to shill too hard, but it's rare I fall in love with a device the way I've fallen in love with my Remarkable 2.
I can't say it was 100% worth the price (half was paid as a gift), but everything about it is refreshingly elegant and simple.
Great to know recovering from a brick is possible too.

#6Isn't `bricked then recovered` a contradiction in terms?

I got one as well, almost mad at myself when I did because I was 90% sure I would use it for a week and then never again.
But I said what the hell. And I'm so glad I did, it's a great device that definitely fills a niche in my workflow. I mostly use it for brainstorming sessions. I like it a lot. I wish it synced more seamlessly but perhaps that'll happen at some point.

#8now now, it's a kinda obvious screwup, but with big footguns like this there should be an easier way to re-flash the thing though... it really should have a shadow-copy of a partition that can restore it to factory. It wouldn't be to hard to implement.
it's just lovely to seen an open device... this made me want to buy one.

given that the term "unbricking" exists, I would say no?

#10I work part-time for my university's help desk and I was both impressed and disappointed the first time I came across one of these--one the one hand, its highly customizable and supports SSH access. On the other hand, there is shockingly no way to get the MAC address without connecting via SSH, even though this is popular among academics who often need to get onto MAC filtered networks.
In hindsight, we probably could have connected it to the guest network, gotten its IP and then had the networking group look up its MAC on their logs. What we wound up doing is telling the user to go home and check their own router for the MAC, which is obviously less than ideal service.
