      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.

        If your gaming setup isn’t ready for the climate crisis, then you’re not going to have a good time.

        People need the RTX 5000 for fps.

        I need it for super low wattage at 480p, 30fps.

      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.

      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

          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?

      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.

    I dont want these small ones, I want a 55 inch one, so I can just have rotating art on the wall.
