I just think it's neat when a screen is just the right format to keep UI out of a video, i.e. a 16:9 video on a 16:10 screen or the volume bar not overlapping the video on my phone

and by "it crashed" I mean the entire OS

They're marketing this as a laptop replacement :(

lmao it crashed

I was simply trying to open a 30 MB pdf from SMB in iBooks

it's kinda funny that the easiest way to move files between the two is a FAT formatted USB drive, like the good old times

Android file management: stock (google files) app is almost useless, the manager app I use is a bit weird but very powerful, for some reason I can't access exFAT drives via USB???

iPadOS file management: if your server is any slower than instant the app will just freeze and you'll be left guessing whether it's doing the thing or just crashing. No way to force close it either :)

100th game of wordle!

okay wow, they actually make eInk displays that can blend colors, that's amazing

Show thread

now that I think about it, printing with a fixed set of colors works the exact same way

Show thread

like, this is the progress pride flag and a random image search for "pop art" at 40% extra saturation, you can tell which parts work well but from a bit of a distance even the light blue and pink look good

Show thread

the biggest limitation of the tech is that it only does full tones, a pixel can really only be one of seven colors, no shading. Works out well if you only work in those colors though, and the occasional image won't look bad if you adjust brightness/contrasts/saturaion and dither it well

Show thread

just saying, I'd buy a high-dpi version of this in a heartbeat, the dithering would look so much better and you could put fine details on it

color eInk color repro tests (at 20% extra saturation): progress pride, bi pride, nonbinary pride, analog tv nerd pride

pretty happy with it
