Yup, this is the way. My e-reader weighs less than my phone and is about 1/4th the size of a hardback or trade paperback with the cover or a protective sleeve. It’s a game changer for travel, commuting, waiting time before appointments, etc.

I’ve read 200+ books in the span of time I might have read 20 if I had to throw an actual book in my bag on the way out the door.

The best we can do is a 4th straight year of record profits

Maybe those CEOs should buy bulletproof backpacks and hold active shooter drills

When you use them heavily some of the incremental improvements are nice to have. I swapped my mid 2010s Nook for an ~8in Boox 3y ago or so and it was a huge upgrade.

I mean, no one’s telling you that you can’t or that you shouldn’t. I just like having two decades of reading material on tap at any time without needing to lug a library around.

One of these decades folks will realize that a good e-reader is as game changing as the iPod was.

It’s not even much of a skill anymore now that there’s so much focus on natural language question and answer. You can straight up Google “how do I X?” And get a relevant answer for just about anything.

Edit: I’m not even talking about generative AI here, googling simple questions without using AI worked well before the AI craze.

Here I am, stuck in the middle with you

Uh, no shit? We all knew this was coming.

-> booting emacs as an OS

Keep in mind that autism is a spectrum

I feel the same way about any machine that isn’t a Linux laptop with fully implemented hardware support. I can’t stand macos or windows anymore.

In Apple’s defense though, they have better accessibility than anyone else - hands down. That’s about all they do right IMO.

Same, though I think I also picked up SUSE and slackware around the same time

Whiteness won’t help here, this dude attacked the owner class. He’s going to be smeared then locked up for the rest of his life.

What remains to be seen now is whether he gets better medical care in prison than he did via publicly available insurance.

“The press is complicit in crippling American social problem Y”

Well yeah, no shit. The press is owned by the owner class and used to convince Americans that Y is necessary so that the profit firehose never ceases gushing into their ever growing pool of wealth.

Yeah, that was my thinking too. Lilac is a generic enough platform that OEMs can do the bulk of their platform work with a lilac dev kit before they have real hardware in hand for the last 10%.

Valve hasn’t even announced their own steam machine yet have they? I’d be betting on ASUS to be first to market with whatever’s in the pipe from OEMs.

Lilac is an AMD dev platform, it’s used to do early development before you have the real platform in hand to work with. It’s been spotted in the wild running 7700 HS, 8500 U and Zen3 embedded <55W SoCs - there’s no way to extrapolate new steam hardware performance info from this reliably.

We kinda left ourselves wide open by sanctioning a surveillance adtech economy and not prosecuting corruption. This is just the logical next stage (leverage surveillance adtech to sway votes and install the corruptible.)

The scientific community would just collapse and we’d be worshipping cats as a world wide religion.

You’re a couple thousand years late on this one
