Congrats it’s worse! Harder to get to :)

If they go online, then yeah updates are a good thing.

Personally, I just dont make it go online. Calibre is so good that updates only make it worse.

Heh yeah… I was part of the linux port for fun for a bit. Certain models are just pop the bottom off and now you have access to the SD card(!) that they use for the linux kernel. AND they published the linux kernel info on GH so we even knew what they were customizing under the hood. Not a whole lot if im honest. The battery/SD card/screen/buttons are all kinda cheap, but also super easy to swap out. So you just put https://github.com/Quill-OS/quill on it and boom linux eink device.

I think osme of their newer models have less repairable parts as the product line has become more popular.

Thats the one I remember. Its so funny some of the comments in the GH PRs and Issues themselves.

On a side note, im seeing more and more people transfer over to Codeberg and other such git alternatives. Ive used GH for over 15 years and its interesting to see the shifting occurring. Then again, to those of us that have been online for a while, it feels like the natural order of things. GH is trying to get as much $$ as they can (which includes AI) and its new features are becoming tied to monitary components. Meanwhile the community is making things its users actually want.

Actually quick question, how did the author pull in all those resources on the comment section? That is pretty awesome!

I still have my kindle thats over 10 years old.

I got a Kobo and its awesome as well. Ironically, because wallmart couldn’t be bothered to use good components they made it extremely repairable.

The best place to find a good working ebook reader is to either use an old phone (which is not really eink, but without wifi modern phones can last a bit). Or go to a thrift store and find a decent one for 10$ or less. Just make sure it turns on and you should be good!

I like the authors recommendation of something VERY cheap like a 10$ reader…but its probably not viable if Im honest. Sounds like a lot of e-waste that would occur.

This is on top of potential tariffs which if enacted will make PC costs skyrocket. I feel like a lot of people are just going to skip the generation like they do with every other windows OS version. They will just keep windows 10 forever kinda like XP did back in the day.

nice!

Ive personally used proton as well for the one program that I need in windows land. It works really well.

Maybe I should have just linked the blog post: https://invariantlabs.ai/blog/mcp-github-vulnerability
