  • I have 1GB/m and rarely use half of it. I just don't watch YT when I'm outside. And it's plenty for looking at beans on Lemmy.

  • I love both of the hosts. Wish they just switched to something else instead of canceling completely. Could've done regular science news.

  • It was obviously sarcasm with that 100ths precision rating.

  • iDreams (Infinite Dreams) didn't make the cut? I love their Sky Force games.

  • I'm not criticizing the screens, they are ok and I loved my Pebble Time Steel until the battery swelled and popped off the screen. I'm just saying that calling these e-paper is a deceptive marketing strategy.

  • From the Verge article:

    The first watch that Migicovsky and Core plan to ship is called the Core 2 Duo (not to be confused with the old Intel processor), which Migicovsky says will cost $149 and will ship in July. [...] It has the exact same black-and-white e-paper display as the old Pebble 2 (technically a transflective LCD, if you’re curious)

  • As I mentioned earlier, whether a screen type is considered e-paper is subjective. And in my opinion, reflective LCD isn't a type of e-paper. You may disagree, but it's not "categorically" wrong.

  • Quote is from Wikipedia. You can see it's the case for both models here:

    Besides, I own a Pebble Time watch and can tell you, it doesn't perform like a typical e-paper. It has the bad viewing angles of LCD and screen goes blank when power is lost.

  • The watch featured a 32-millimetre (1.26 in) 144 × 168 pixel black and white memory LCD using an ultra low-power "transflective LCD"

    The problem is that e-paper is a category of displays, and some companies label reflective LCDs as "e-paper". Which is subjective (and I personally heavily disagree with that categorization, cause then LCD clocks and Gameboys have "e-paper" displays, too).

    But in the comment I responded to it was said Pebble has "eink" display, which is categorically wrong, as that is a very specific proprietary technology, which is e-paper in traditional sense, like the ones in Kindles.

  • IIRC, it has a reflective LCD, not epaper display.

  • What's with the egg covering the PS logo?

  • I tried. But got:

  • After some quick research, I tend to agree with you.

  • Yes, of course, strictly in Minecraft.

  • Let's be real, we ain't touching grass, let alone take action.

  • Indeterminate, to be precise.
