Well, I just dug around the whole market for a small eink reader, and determined I want an x4 with usb-c and a warm front light.

I don't need a touch screen or any other non-sense. Just a charging interface compatible with everything else, a decent screen, and the ability to read in the dark.

I have an old Boox Nova Pro, but it's screen refresh went to pot with an OS update, and I kinda stopped using it.

I liked the idea of the Palma and have looked at other ~3inch devices over the years, but the Palma is too pricey and the rest have been about equal in price or junk.

Was tempted to jump on the Bigme bandwagon with one of the recent releases, but I really don't need anything that fancy.

The x3-x4 price range is about perfect, but what's the point of epaper with no light or USB-C in 2026?

Bah, what are these people doing?

Who wants to bet the Picco will tick all my boxes but the price will be like $160 USD.

    Maybe not here, but post the location to a group of antiflockers, suggest it's pointing at a home and shouldn't be, suggest maybe it should be removed.

    You can stay pretty anonymous.

    There are those of us who wouldn't mind just quietly popping by a week later and taking care of that for ya.

    If any are close by it certainly might get done.

    Seems most people vote their feels or their chosen clan... Whoever they think they get along better with socially.

    It seems few people seriously assess a politicians job qualification or work hisrory.

    Heck, my SO just lets me do the work, but I refused to just let them copy my vote. I write up paragraph summaries for each candidate then a blurb explaining my choice. They can disagree if they want, it's okay. I don't look to see how they vote, or ask, but they basically tell me they trust me and just wanna copy me.

    It's honestly pretty upsetting.

    And I bet one partner in most relationships just does the same, or votes party line, or just generally doesn't give a hoot but votes anyway.

    Anything that is just local hardware can be saved or copied to an encrypted cloud drive of your choosing, via VPN if that's what you want.

    You don't have to use a security cam system that hosts the cloud storage, or acts as a middle man between you and a live feed.

    There are local systems that can host remote access portals too.

    These things existed before things like ring or wyze...

    If you mean true grass, prolly not.

    But there are typically handfulls of edible plants in any wild field and most yards.

    So, pesticide poisoning aside, you could survive for some time eating greens and and roots scrounged from pretty much wherever.
