I need to work on an eink display editor/terminal theme that uses font weight, italics, underlining, highlighting, etc. rather than colors for syntax highlighting.

tetrislife,

@mathiasx I recently came across almost-mono-themes for Emacs which is great

Spricht noch irgendwas gegen E-Ink im außer vielleicht der Preis? Im Sommer kommen 42-Zoll-Schirme mit RGB-Layer (Kaleido 3). Auflösung reduziert sich zwar durch die indirekte Farbproduktion (es gibt keine Farbkörner im Panel). Aber es wirkt ausreichend auf mich und sie schalten binnen 0,5 s. Die Spectra-Demo vom letzten Jahr sieht natürlich cooler aus.

Nahansicht auf Netzspinne.
Fahrplan etwas grob.
Fahplan in weit.

@ljrk Danke, dann ist das bestimmt noch der Rest des damaligen Versuchs. S Beuselstraße war an einer Bushaltestelle (oder war's Westhafen?) war auch mal ein Anzeiger, aber weniger hochauflösend als dieser..

Pre-ordered Bigme B251, the standalone monitor! As someone who spends a lot of hours in front of a screen, moving to eink on my smartphone and now my desk - connected to my laptop - I’m really excited to use it!

@preslavrachev there are several folks who got the first batch of the device and made video reviews. It’s real 😉

30h20 minutes thus far, 23h14 minutes to go 😎 power of eink, LineageOS energy efficiency. And if I would go Googleless, it would be more. Connected to 4G, WiFi at home, syncing active etc.

@denzilferreira I use Arch and Manjaro. Ah, I was hoping to avoid buying an EDL cable. But I guess I'll have to go shopping this weekend 😆

I'd buy you some beer in Oulu anyway just for your nice work, but I'm off working a project on the other side of Europe atm 😉

@mutkitta yep, ping when around 🍻

What kind of bionic eyes does he have to use a laptop on the beach?

It reminds me that is that time of the year again when I want a laptop with an screen.

Finally, it seems that the Kobo eink readers now have color eink screens. No more needing to buy those Boox tablets. :bunhdthink:

@chikorita157 7" is a little too small for manga. I read on a Kobo Aura One (7.8") which is fine for most manga but I have to zoom in for translation notes and anything with dense text. American-formatted comics are right out.
fwiw I'm happy with Kobo itself. I buy from the Kobo store so I use stock OS, but lots of people replace it for something faster at CBZ and other formats. One complaint I often hear from new owners is that Kobo dropped MicroSD for newer devices, so you can't expand storage for yourself.

chikorita157,
@chikorita157@sakurajima.moe avatar

@tojikomori I have a Boox Nova Air C and I guess it was allright, although I have to zoom in. However, I need to replace the screen protector since it got damaged and I got a replacement one. Haven’t got the chance to replace it.

The one thing I don’t like or trust about the Boox is that it sends data to a Chinese server. But I only read Bookwalker ripped manga to PDFs on there, so…

For now, I’m just using a 2018 iPad Pro.

Here's a demo of LineageOS 20 - Android 13 running on Hisense A9, using the latest Eink Center app which can now be updated without reflashing the system image!

@denzilferreira @linmob I'll test it when I get a chance, thank you :)

Also as a small update: I've discovered that the headphone jack doesn't work, nor did an external USB-C DAC when I tried it.

@denzilferreira@techhub.social avatar

@LinuxLounge @linmob hum will investigate!

Juhu. Heute haben wir unsere access points für die Displays fertig gebastelt und in Betrieb genommen. Die Displays haben wir auf dem von der @cbase bekommen. Vielen Dank noch einmal dafür! Einige werden wir hier als Raumschilder und einige als Info Displays nutzen.

Jetzt nur noch an unseren anbinden.

\ @BerriJ

Verschiedene alte Preisschilder aus dem Supermarkt mit dem Logo vom /dev/tal e.V. und verschiedenen Raumbezeichnungen wie Hackcenter, Lounge und E-Werkstatt.
Noch mehr Displays. Auch 2 quadratische. Einmal mit /dev/tal e.V. Logo und einmal mit QR-Code.

Improving now the Eink Center app to guide the user to setup the overlay permission and accessibility service that allows us to react to button presses regardless of what app you are currently using

biodbl,

@denzilferreira Legal. Estou usando como celular principal. A princípio, gostei da fluidez do sistema. Por enquanto, tudo funcionando: Play store, chamadas, sms, 4G, atualização da tela. Testarei mais Alguns dias.

Here it is: LineageOS 20 GSI for Hisense A9!

https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1EZliZlJ9Ss6gb3me4aENkBH1ATPBlymA?usp=sharing

Vendor & app source:
https://github.com/denzilferreira/vendor_hisense

To install:
1- Unlock your bootloader! THIS IS A MUST.
2- follow these commands:
adb reboot bootloader
-- wait until you see a white screen with FastBoot
fastboot reboot fastboot
-- wait until you see a dark screen with a menu
fastboot flash system /path/to/rom.img
-- wait until it finishes flashing
fastboot -w
fastboot reboot

I'll keep working on the app, but for now, refresh and speed setting is working when pressing the refresh eink button!

@Entitle3568 I've just published the latest version of Eink Center:
https://github.com/denzilferreira/vendor_hisense/tree/main/app/release

You will need to stop the current app, and install this one as an update. Android 13 now restricts side-loaded accessibility services, so you will need to stop it and do "Allow restricted settings" on the app info screen!

Entitle3568,

@denzilferreira Thanks that all worked out like a charm. I will move on to xda if i have further questions :)
