I own this. It is horrible. If the specs were real it would be great, but the specs are not real. It is a 3k black and white monitor with a fixed color filter over it. That means you need 3x3 pixels to resemble a color.

I consider it a scam from Dasung.

Boox on the other hand made a sane black and white display. Much better. I own a Max 2 Pro. Sadly they fail to understand that when you report a display as 20px smaller than it really is over an HDMI port and then rescale the image of the computer display on that, that it becomes really uncrisp. Their suggestion is to use the display with 200% scaling (so you don't notice as much I suppose).

Epaper is really promising and nice. However both of these companies should either get some real competition or lawsuits.

We have linux-magazine delivered to the office.

The articles are easy to read, I can't remember having to look up background knowledge but I've been using Linux for decades now. The articles generally teach you something practical. I don't read all of it but what I read I often like. Just lacks depth from time to time.

Most people don't visit the office often I think, but it's there. I tend to take some home and bring them back.

I needed this comment. I thought it was hyperbole.

Depends on the use.

The screen protector serves as a blue light filter too, it's cheaper than a display, and fairly thin. That's a straightforward addition for my use but if you don't have issues with your phone dropping then you could certainly do without.

I very much dislike cases and loved the PH-1 for stating that a phone should be solid enough without a case (sadly it did not survive a 50cm drop on a floor so it did not hold up in practice). If you don't have much issues with your phone dropping then not having a case makes it so much nicer.

I take more risk holding my phone than I should which means it falls more than average. The price I have to pay is a screen protector and cover. Replacing the display should be easy, but it'd also be wasteful.

I had to replace parts on my FP5. It fell on very bad asphalt at speed whilst cycling in a foreign country. The glass on the camera modules scattered. Display protector broke and the case got some good damage. I was instantly calmed realising it is a FairPhone and knowing I could order replacement parts.

Repairs were trivial and it feels good to have created just a tiny amount of e-waste instead of a large amount. The black aluminium case has some war wounds (scratches) reminding me of the trip.

In Europe electric planes may fly with less reserve. I think this is to help kick start innovation. I suppose they get priority for landing if necessary. This makes at least one of these electric aircraft ok for training sessions so there is a practical use.

I have a cheap power supply which can be limited in current and voltage and I've been able to revive many such batteries with it. I use it as a drip charger limiting current and voltage so neither gets too high until the regular charger picks up the battery again.

I have no comparison but was in a similar boat when the FP5 launched. I was not sure how long my phone's cracked display would last. I installed e/OS manually at the time (a beta release) and can't remember any substantial issues. I can't compare with a preinstalled version because I did not order that.

I think there's a forum. Perhaps ask there if they know when they'll be back in stock?

There's a bit more changing on the web than what you may expect.

The web moves so fast that we ditched W3C standards for the WHATWG living standard because it took too long to release new features. I guess the "move fast and break stuff" stood too much in contention with W3C's vision of a standardisation track, and it did take a good while in the past. Anyhow, the last updatebto that stabdard was yesterday. https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/document-sequences.html

Features like WebRTC, HTTP/3, CSS grid, JavaScript decorators, ... do not come for free. This is just a tiny fraction of what appeared in the past few years. The web is a highly evolving platform which (used to be? is? aims to be?) backwards compatible. This even ignores updates for required maintenance due to base platform APIs or frameworks changing.

It could be very smart to bring its evolution back under W3C so it would move at a more achievable pace with an equal voting process, but that's not the case today and I doubt it will happen any time soon.

In the coming years, building or maintaining a browser engine will be expensive.

noisetorch does an ok job for video conferences and works on your speaker (easier on you) and on your microphone (easier on them). We often use it to limit keyboard noise during meetings.

I have not had many issues in the past 15 or more years myself running Linux exclusively aside from a shorter Macbook period. Perhaps I have just been lucky.

We sported (in guessed cronological order of first buy): Dell, HP, Lenovo, Slimbook, Tuxedo, Starlabs, BTO all running Linux at our company. We have not had big issues with any except for keyboard on a Dell, Tuxedo, Slimbook and cooling on a Lenovo. Since I chose the Slimbook many have followed on the path of smaller suppliers and I think we rarely buy from the big makes now.

I have been very happy with slimbook. I came from a macbook (bad idea) with the bad butterfly keyboard and the slimbook was a big upgrade on that front. It's still not the greatest keyboard for some but I do like it. I have been wanting to buy a new one but whenever something broke or was insufficient I could either upgrade (2 x nvmeSSD slots and RAM can be replaced) or they still supplied spare parts when I sent them an email (keyboard replacement after 4 years). I wanted a framework but Slimbook has offered me spare parts as needed for longerbtham could buy a framework and the slimbook still works well. Plus it's less expensive. Replacement of the keyboard was not toolless requiring glue to be heated but I did manage to quickly do it with a sleepy head at night. I'd buy their new 13" if this one would be out of service. I'd buy one now but it feels such a waste.

Things I did not like 6 years ago: webcam and microphone of lesser quality, display nice and matte with good color rendition but lower resolution than I'd prefer, no USBC charging on USBC port. Display and USBC are resolved on the new models, no clue about webcam and microphone.

Not CoreXY but you may want to check out FLSun's delta offerings too.

I have an older one and it has served me well. I bought a QQS pro (I think) for tinkering. It worked well out of the box but I could not resist changing the stepper drivers, installing Klipper, changing the hotend, ... It still works well, just faster.

Looking at the few reviews of what they have today I'd buy again but would try not to swap out parts. That or the Prusa you're looking at.

When the battery gets fully discharged it degrades much faster.

I'd be searching for what's draining the battery and in the meantime I'd add a battery disconnect switch for these periods.

Agree. They'll surely to pay the cost and they have a proven track record on handling any potential lock in.

The Docker runtime is probably ok as it is a tool instead of a community. The registry has a community aspect and is where we'll likely see exploitation of vendor lock in. Luckily Docker was grounded well and you can set up your own registry.

I consider code and data to be mangled within the context of a macro.

In the macro definition we receive the code as data even though it looks like code when using the macro. Being able to use any lisp code inside of the macro definition, including other macros, makes for a mentally cohesive programming environment.

Not sure I ever used eval aside from some genetic programming experiments.

Can you share some examples?

To my understanding EREV, like the i3 pictured in models with the optional ICE, is mostly driven on battery power with the generator as a backup. It doesn't even provide full power when running on the generator whilst the battery is low. I don't know of examples of EREV without a battery or with a tiny battery which would be classified as EREV but would like to see examples. I know of some studies showing lowered fuel consumption but nothing for consumers.

I would understand your frustration towards EREV in the cases where it's mainly burning fuel as that's indeed not BEV at all.

Did not look thus up, do verify if necessary.

EREV is a BEV with a backup engine. PHEV is mainly a combustion engine vehicle with a limited electric drivetrain bolted on.

EREV powers a generator to drive the electric drivetrain. The electric drivetrain is the only drivetrain and must thus provide the full functionality. The intent is to drive fully electric and have an emergency backup. Markets place maxima on the amount of fuel the fuel tank may carry in some markets (eg: 10L).

PHEV has the dino burning engine drive the wheels and an electric drivetrain. The battery can be charged. The electric drivetrain often doesn't provide the full functionality (eg: it has too limited power and and may be limited to low speeds).

Answer: they're holding up just fine
