Same, the first 13" colour e-ink that doesn’t cost more than a single limb I’m so getting if I can swing it. I read digit comic books so much and having it as e-ink is my dream.
Gonna be really useful for solar power builds.
Off grid is gonna explode with ev campers
Double-sided phone could be pretty neat.
Some company made one once, back in the early 2010s. I think they released a successor the following year, but neither phone sold well enough to keep going. It would be cool as hell if that were more common, though.
YotoPhone. They also made a version 2 & 3. Unfortunately, Yota went bankrupt.
At the time they’ve been seen as a gimick, mostly because they were PRed by the government as our local invention and an iphone-killer it wasn’t. That’s a shame.
What would be cooler is if we could build our own phones, like we can desktops, so it can have exactly the features and specs we want.
There’s nothing technically stopping you from building an android smartphone just the way you like. In fact, there’s extreme modding folks that do things like already. What we really lack is a future-proofed connector standard for component connectivity that just works.
I know it’s not the exact same, but most folding phones are double sided screens on one face. I just don’t know how much I’d use it if it was a non-folding style with front and back screens.
If refresh rate and ghosting is reasonable for scrolling I could see myself using it. For movies and games I would just turn on second monitor.
I literally read all day, this would be fantastic. Books. Visual media has subtitles and usually is something I’m gonna Google further while watching/playing. I mostly consume text based social media and news.
… fuck I think I just want a newspaper
Much cheaper, no electricity required, no ChatGPT generated clickbait horseshit AND you can kill flies!
I’m seeing a lot of “ai” generated trash in the paper now :(
I feel like this could be a lame drinking game when bored: Is it AI generated or just bad/lazy writers?
I’m very interested for when a price is announced for this
Hopefully it’s reasonable
What would you regard as reasonable? If I recall correctly, 800 dollars was the price for the last 13 inch e ink display I saw.
That brings it outside of the reasonable range for most people, I would think.
Am I right in suggesting that e-ink displays remain artificially overpriced because of the company that ultimately owns the patent?
I would seriously consider something like this since my computing job requires me to stare at a light bulb all day. Perhaps there’s a demographic that would spring for this in the same way there is for quality chairs.
offices seem like a prime target for e-ink displays while it stays in this expensive early stage
Soooo glad it’s open-source!
The controller, yes. The display itself, no, as far as I can tell.
Any part being open-source is better than nothing!
It’s only 14,000 dollars and my first born female next of kin or better? What a deal!
How does this compare to the Daylight device?
I dont want these small ones, I want a 55 inch one, so I can just have rotating art on the wall.
