Fixed, ha ha. I was just happy I typed Brendan instead of Brandon.

It ticks the boxes - not Amazon, stylus, and eInk.

You’re going to need an os, even if it’s just embedded to access a file system and manage resources.

I bought one and it kinda sucked. I wanted a digital library for the tens of thousands of pages of references I use at work, and a sketch pad would be a bonus. It’s a cool device but the screen is just too slow to be useful and the application space for android and drawing is…thin.

Yeah, we don’t exactly hold the high ground in the “not killing civilians when we’re on a patriotic rampage in a foreign country.” Heck, we don’t hold that high ground in our own country.

There is no strategy which will is acceptable to all political factions.

You can get a reliable plug and play printer for as little as $500-600, though it will take 15-20 hours, if you’re technically minded, to learn to get the files to print. The material will be around $30-40 at retail prices (it’s generally only sold by the kg).

You can likely send the files to a print house and get them printed for just $100-200.

(Someone will claim that the $99 Ender and a roll of $9.99 genetic PLA will work. They are technically correct in the same way that your grandmother can edit photos for free by setting up Arch Linux on a $100 PC from Goodwill.)

Isn’t that a Boox? eInk, stylus, android, can buy direct.

The Administration knows there is no solution to this conflict. It also knows there is no state-side position which is politically expedient.

I’m going to say this as loud as I can. There will be no winners in this conflict. Ever. For anyone, involved or on the sidelines.

This memo is confirmation that the US administration knows there is no solution and doesn’t want anyone to say anything because no matter what they say it will make things worse. This is a tacit admission that there is nothing anyone outside can do. It’s like trying to extinguish a lithium battery fire - the stored energy will continue to be exothermic until it’s expended and any attempt to tamp it down is likely to make things worse.

It’s a shitty position were in, but this isn’t some Hollywood script where you can just write a happy ending. There is no happy ending.
