Yeah I think it's low volumes of 13.3" eink screens/tablets that drive the price up. The small ones are really cheap

The 2x 13" screen eink tablets for music are about $1500. You can also use a single screen 13" eink tablet and a footpad for turning pages, for about $500-600. They all run Android so Bluetooth foot pedals for page turning work fi

Thanks for putting it into context! Generally I wonder about sustainability of rare earths (and other elements with limited supply like helium). We build a lot of products that don't last very long - some of it gets recycled, a lot of

How good is the passthrough perf? I'd like to build a hackintosh box with amd 3900x and amd rx5700 xt GPU - for video editing etc. KVM seems like the only choice for AMD cpus. Will the GPU work with KVM? What mobo should I get?

The sprite sheets (jumping, running, landing) on the first one were so rad compared to anything else around that time, so fluid. That photo from his office wall really shows how much effort went into them

don't want to derail the RPi4 celebration, but for this specific purpose (media centre) I've been super happy with Nvidia Shield. You can often pick them up for $150 on a sale, less on ebay. 4k HDR, runs Android TV (some people ha

I love this line of questioning existing computer interface paradigms, it's not done enough. There is a lot of good stuff about this prototype (except it being built on the web stack - what??), I'm sure some people will find a min

Always wondered why Apple hasn't opened up iMessage to every platform (not just Apple devices) and gone properly into Alipay territory with payments. They don't have much growth left in hardware, seems like the obvious thing to do

Aside from the obvious - better insulation - I think deep geothermal can be quite an eco-friendly way to heat homes in the near future.

Having actual WiFi coverage in the tunnels would be a good start. Now it only works at the stations, maybe for 15 seconds at a time, on each stop. It's awful

yep, I expect their basestations use ARM extensively too. Still, I wonder what the timeline would be for a production ready RISC-V chipset. They might be out of business before it's ready

How long would it take Huawei (or a bunch of Chinese companies) to develop MIPS or RISC-V based phones? Too long to run out of cash (given that their sales for the foreseeable future just cratered) - or doable?

I wonder if the outcome of all of this will be massive Chinese investment into RISC-V and linux

Definitely. Apple has a couple of eGPUs they made with Blackmagic (AMD RX580 - you don't want this one - and Vega 56), very slick looking and silent but unfortunately GPUs not user upgradeable and not great value for money. You can use

that's the theory, but in real life the macbook won't sustain 5ghz for very long at all, even less so with 8 cores. It simply can't get rid of the heat fast enough and throttles the speed to stay under thermal limits (while s

How's the thermal handling with the 8core? Full speed for half a minute, then throttled?
