Battery life is good, I use it with the wifi off and only had to charge it once, and I read a full book on it.
I haven’t played with the handwriting recognition yet, let me take a look and I’ll report back.

I bought a Mobiscribe recently, for the same reasons. It’s an eReader with an eink display, but it’s an Android tablet. I installed F-Droid, and then NextCloud (to access my ebooks) and Librera Reader. I also use it for listening to podcasts (via Bluetooth, since it’s an Android tablet) and taking notes with the stylus.
Yep, that’s pretty much it.
Unlimited PTO is only good if you’ve proved yourself indispensable to the company, and can leverage that. Of course if you’re indispensable then it’s hard to take a lot of vacation!
I replied to the wrong comment, sorry, I was replying to the person asked if the 3 weeks were paid.
Brazil, Spain, Egypt, Denmark, Argentina…
Not OP, but probably yes. Unlimited PTO is not uncommon in tech.
Of course if you try to do some shenanigans like taking two months off they will simply fire you.
You hire more people.
I’ve been using Alacritty for a while. It’s fast and does everything I need.
They did, many years ago with the PayPal merge. Musk wanted x.com, all the research said people saw it negatively, and Musk still pushed for it, until eventually he was ousted as CEO.
know about it? We even added your secret directories to our tape backup.
That’s the hacker ethos right there! Love it! ❤️
Love this!
I also have a MUD story… back in 1993 I lived in Brazil, and there were no commercial ISPs, so you couldn’t have internet even if you wanted to pay for it. Only universities were connected to the internet.
A friend of mine was in college studying computer science, and he had a “special number” that he could dial to get access from home. The number was unlike any other I’ve seen before. He shared the login (“students”) and password (“students93”) with me, and told me I could use it sparingly.
I was 15 at the time, and I started playing a MUD. The first day I played for 30 minutes. The second day, for a couple hours. Soon I was spending 8 hours a day playing MUD, and I started dreading the phone bill. Long distance calls where super expensive back then in Brazil, and even a landline would cost as much as a car!
After a month, no bill came. I waited another couple weeks, and I finally decided to call the phone company and ask how much it would cost to call the “special number”.
“Sir, this number doesn’t exist”, was the answer.
Well, it worked for me! I kept using it, playing that MUD for 8-12 hours every day. Eventually, when 1994 arrived, my password stopped working. I tried “students94” and I was in. I only had telnet and ftp access, but that was enough to play MUDs and discover a whole new world.
Eventually in 1995 the password stop working again, and trying “students95” didn’t work. I started using BBSs, and eventually ran my own for a few months. In 1996 I went to college, and the first commercial ISP opened in the city where I was. I was one of their first clients.
I’m 45. I spent the weekend playing video games with my 43-year-old girlfriend and her nephew. When we thought she had COVID I bought a couple games that were online multiplayer so we could play together while she was isolated.
You just need to find the right people for you. Put “I love video games” in your Tinder profile, and this will weed out people who think that’s for kids. Put yourself out there as you are, and it will attract the people who like you for who you are.
And makes the world a better place.
Ok, I played with it and it seems like the recognition only works in the “Notes” app. It doesn’t work as a general text input for applications.
It works pretty well, though. You select the text with the pen by circling it, and then you can copy it to the clipboard or replace the drawing with the actual text.
