   I had the same experience, when not using their cloud (for privacy reasons), syncing your docs / getting them off the device is very cumbersome. This totally breaks my workflow. I also tried jailbreaking, but it's all too finicky.

   Agree, it’s great. Only disadvantage: no “Dark mode” for email content. Thunderbird has the Dark Reader addon, which is very nice…

    Two things that are stopping me from buying a PocketBook: 1. Android (privacy...) 2. No light sensor to automatically adjust screen brightness to surroundings (i currently have the Kindle Oasis 3, jailbroken, running KOreader.)

    This is also the case for FaceTime; The last image the camera captured will stay visible in the app switcher like forever... so other people who use your iPad / iPhone can see it.

    What will prevent Durov from reversing his “false promises” as soon as he is released and can leave France / the EU? I have a feeling he will continue on the same path as before, as soon as he can travel outside of the EU.

    I'd say the possibility of your own computer having a virus infection, or your login credentials leaking some other way, is far more likely than assuming "HN might be hacked."

    Can AOSP be installed on the Boox (10.3) though? I thought the bootloader was locked… In any case, i think going this route might be very finicky, i’m afraid it would become a new hobby just to get it up and running / and keep it updat
