Just an anecdote but I broke a Kobo Aura exactly like you did but never had any issues with kindle or with a pocketbook I really like Kobo but they do seem rather fragile.

The one thing I wish the Remarkable 2.0 had is a backlight similar to the one from the kobo, it really makes it much more convenient in planes, train or anywhere where there's not enough light...

Not the OP but I think neediness is more than that. It's a mismatch between how much you someone need other people for their life satisfaction and fulfillment and how much that same person is willing to invest in the relationship. So n

In Japan, divorce is relatively easy in case of mutual consent but in case when the spouse doesn't want to divorce it quickly becomes very complicated... The first step is mediation with a court appointed mediator which can take a long

Having lived and worked for almost 20 years in different Asian countries, I would be a lot more nuanced than you are. First, I completely disagree that suffering is the mark of success... And, I would be hard pressed to completely generaliz

I somehow always had the feeling that serious photographers use Canon and Nikon to a lesser measure for professional work but a lot use fuji for fun :)

In Carlos Ghosn's case, there's an argument to be made. Japan doesn't have a well functioning judicial system (any judicial system with 99.9% conviction rate is by definition completely broken), that forced confessions are co

The author mention the visa question and I think that bears repeating, if you plan to live abroad, having a degree (preferably a master) will make getting a visa in any country much easier. I'd however recommend going to a country wher

I wish that Archive.org would start collecting funds to finance an external backup site. I strongly feel that archive.org is an irreplaceable treasure and that making sure that it would resist natural disasters should be a priority...

I sometimes think that the perfect office space would be a room for teams of around 10 with maybe 3-4 alcoves or smaller office rooms that people can retreat too when they have calls to make or when they want to have complete quite... The i

As someone who is in Hong Kong, there's a good reason you don't hear about the Hong Kong situation. A lot of people in Hong Kong are in pseudo self quarantine, working remotely, going to school remotely, avoiding any areas with a

Where can I find how many people have been tested per country? This seems to be critical information yet I don't find an easy source of information.

I'm also rather interested to know if it is Fastly, I am considering switching away from them. The control fastly offer through the VCL is great but cloudflare workers look really great.

RMS comment was entirely reasonable if rather perilous to write: "We can imagine many scenarios, but the most plausible scenario is that she presented herself to him as entirely willing. Assuming she was being coerced by Epstein, he wo

Not sure about the accuracy. France says locals hostile at 33% while Russia only has locals hostile at 17% and locals hostile at 0% in Singapore...Oh and locals hostile at 17% in Saudi Arabia!!! I'd say those numbers are totally wrong.

That's a good point... Making changes quickly and dramatically does have some effects that might be negative. However, it's usually very difficult for such changes to happen slowly and progressively. Those kind of changes tend to

Based on his reply to your post and what he says, I'm rather sceptical that battleangle is a sock puppet account... The fact that Carrie Lam and her cabinet are extremely incompetent is what most HKers think. HK protesters not being un

Car payments and mortgages are very different things. A car payment is a loan for a depreciating asset. So even after you finish repaying your car, at the end you have an asset that's worth much less than what you paid for it. A mortga

That's a good point. One could argue that Shakespeare's early modern English feels like a different dialect of English and as such would be better translated during representations...

I remember as a kid seeing an representation of Shakespeare's Twelfth's night in French as a kid and the meaning was changed so that the jokes would work in French. Likewise, it was made to rhyme in French. I do believe that even

Given how many people die per year in traffic accidents with non-autonomous vehicles, shouldn't this rule apply too? Humans have shown that they can't drive cars safely and should no longer be trusted to drive. More seriously thou

I upgraded to 7 with the license payment ($49 seemed fair to me). Biggest value add with the upgrade is the google authenticator integration which is useful for sites that support it. I would stop upgrading if agilebits ever drop local vaul
