A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

There were a handful of reasons I returned mine, but this was the biggest one. Color eink isn't ready yet, and the limited color palette wasn't even the worst part... it was the dark screen. Needing to use the backlight so often is just disappointing, and turning it on negates all the good stuff about eink, making you feel like you're using a really shitty tablet. Maybe things will be better in a generation or two, but if you need color you might as well get a conventional tablet.
