I bet the way they do it is you pay them up front, and they say after 30 days if you're not satisfied you let them know and they send you a check and you keep the thing, because obviously it's not like they can resell it. But then when the check arrives, instead of Vitaphore Appliances, it's from MEGA BUTT BLASTER SEX VIBRATORS FOR PERVERTS, SOUTH BEND, IN and they count on everyone being too embarrassed to cash it.

that's almost brilliant.

I have a work laptop that converts to a tablet but for some reason that I assume is "hp, lol", the pen stylus that comes with it doesn't work for writing on the screen unless you charge it via usb. they literally failed to make a stick work properly.

I have a normal X1 Yoga and the stylus also has to be charged, though it does it automatically when in it's silo. Unfortunately that's all the shittier pens, other than the Wacom EME of course :smug:

I aggressively recommend it to anyone who comes near me

it owns. you can get it wet in the bath. and you can put books on it by copying to it like if it was a usb drive

battery is amazing
the asymmetrical design is inspired
the way it’s not just blue light but orange night light is epic


it could be cheaper i guess.. and the kindles have a screen that’s flush with the case and this doesn’t but .. that’s not a big deal


my gf borrowed mine and then got hers and she reads so much now. and for some reason she gets a weird joy from just yeeting it when she’s falling asleep and it hasn’t broken yet


it even reads pdfs with pictures in it


put your own fonts on it easily


um what else? idk it’s good
Sounds exactly like my Paperwhite. But I agree it's good.

hard drives are wild, so many ridiculous and tiny moving parts.

i took a tour of hp's workstation test facility in fort collins once, and they showed off an xray machine they use for scanning hard drives and other electronics for defects, which was pretty cool.

it's probably got the highest density of unacknowledged background gags ever seen on film. just a mile a minute dumb poo poo, played completely straight on screen, and it works so well.

i mean generally a computer from 1999 is kind of overtly bonkers technology in a way a computer today is not, e.g. lasers, various tiny precise motors, actuators, magnetic heads floating on air cushions over rotating surfaces, high voltage electron guns, and just in general a lot of different technologies, volatages, scales, analog/digital interfacing. computers today are way more sophisticated, but most of the sophistication amounts to manufacturing tiny things with various lithography techniques and wiring them up in an extremely measured but pretty straightforward way.
