Hmm, I can't see any. Just cases. Maybe they don't ship to Australia.

Are there any off the shelf e-readers which support this firmware? This site seems to be for people who want to solder together their own e-reader from components. Also, it does a bit misleading to say "Charging, battery protection, an

I often have this experience with blog posts on HN. They do all the background, and once they get to the juicy bit, it ends.

That's a super interesting device. Definitely pondering ordering one.

I'm fascinated that I have never heard of this, even though I did use IRC during that early 2000s era.

Wow, those are pretty cursed. Differences between browsers, and between mobile platforms, after all these years.

Yeah I was considering buying tickets for something recently, then discovered the only option is to install an app just to buy the damn ticket. No. Damn. Way.

True, although I do also have a lot of problems with Google Maps. Particularly, when I search for a small town 100km away, and instead it brings up a medium sized down in the USA. Or even more ridiculous cases, like I slightly got the name

Interesting post. I was a bit confused why they were seeking to build rapport with their users. These people pay a few bucks a month. What's the upside to a close, cosy relationship? The answer might often be to understand the users&#x

Oh, good, glad that's solved then.

It's slightly funny that the post says firmly that they aren't doing any form of real time engagement with the community anymore, then ends by announcing an AMA date and time.

Somehow this almost inspired me to write some fiction just for the sole purpose of including some real howlers of this kind, that the average reader wouldn't notice. I wonder how many you could squeeze into one scene.

Interesting that they don't seem to have had much cultural impact. I've never heard of these, never seen them in war films. You don't hear songs wistfully using a wartime ocarina or referring to them.
