I don’t have much, but I REALLY love my bomber jacket that I bought a year ago, looks good and makes me look good, I think.

Edit: after 2 edits that title still needs adjustments…

    I bought the Remarkable 2 about two years ago, but since I had to get a replacement, I guess it counts. I love the e-paper’s magical feeling in general. Remarkable in particular amazes me with the openness e.g. giving me SSH access to the Linux-based system. I wish they’d focus on customization, tinkering and stability, but unfortunately that doesn’t seem to be the case.

      Can you expand on the openness aspect a bit.

      I got the Boox Note 3 a few years ago, because it runs Android and I could install Syncthing on it.

      I didn’t realize that the remarkable was able to be accessed.

      Can you install whatever you want?

      I ordered a PineNote last week.

      I was thinking about purchasing a remarkable 2 or a Boox Note Air 4C before but in the end I would have to tinker with all of them to get a setup that meets my needs so I just went with the most open variant.

      I hope the hardware is up to the task but just reading through the specs it seems pretty similar to the remarkable 2.

      Out of interest, what happened to your first remarkable 2 that you had to replace it?

        It took a bath in ice tea for a few hours and it suffered even more when I stupidly connected it to the PC before I saw the wet folio and bag. I probably would’ve looked into other alternatives, too, if I didn’t receive a replacement offer for ~130€. I love it, but it does have many faults, that for some people may be unacceptable for the price. But that seems to be the current state of e-ink tech in general.

          For 130€ I would have taken the remarkable 2 as well, unfortunately used offers start at 350€ here. As for new, the PineNote is actually cheaper than the remarkable 2.
