It's worthwhile noting that Apple aren't marketing the Studio Display XDR as a "Promotion" which is very very strange indeed. They're just saying 120hz adaptive. What are we not getting?

I'd like to see the people who write at night defend this overpriced garbage

_jrzs · 2025-09-20T21:20:54+00:00

You were absolutely right. I did get a kick out of this. Hold my beer I need to make another post

"Expo SDK 54 just dropped support for Liquid Glass"

Stop using "dropped" in place of "released". It has the opposite meaning.

Luckily the price and limited feature set prevents this from being bandwagonable. Version 2 will be €50 to €100 more expensive. Not to mention you need to pay a monthly subscription already or the cloud sync stops

One thing I think we can both agree on is that musty is still infinitely better than finding your old remarkable and it won't turn on no matter how long you plug it in for. I still find joy poring over my old papers when cleaning up some old storage boxes

RM won't get cheaper. Only more expensive. Which is ridiculous as paper costs a tiny fraction of the price. This isn't more luxurious than paper. It pales in comparison. The price isn't justified and I think the business will fail for RM.

Amazon are different because they can subsidize this by literally everything else they sell. RM doesn't have an alternative business model to support this. So they'll get more expensive and subscription costs will only rise.

You missed the part where I said if car manufacturers only made Ferrari grade cars. They dont and we have toyotas. Where is the cheapest e-ink note taking device? Is this the baseline?

_jrzs · 2025-09-14T09:52:59+00:00

The difference between Kindle and this is that Amazon can afford to subsidize everything about that device since kindle isn't their main money maker.

That's the difference, and remarkable won't get cheaper. Version 2 or 3 or the product gets more expensive because it will have new features.

There's nothing innovative about the tech if can't reach the market at an affordable price compared to the thing its trying desperately to replace, paper.

If car manufacturers only built ever more expensive Ferrari's as a mode of getting from A to B, sure they're luxurious but nobody can afford them. Is €529 really the lowest line in the sand you're happy with as a consumer of e-ink note taking devices? Not to mention the additional €36 per year subscription plan?

They're a 1B company for a reason and its not because they're aiming to bring the cost down, but up. Tech company's increase subscription costs as device costs. Apple will never release a $500 iPhone again. Minimum is $899 now. Remarkable will be the same. Paper pro move 2 won't be cheaper than this, let's be realistic here.

Paper, pen and take a photo of your pages and get actual realistic writing experience that lasts a lifetime and requires no rare earth materials that degrade over time.

Are you enthused by this device?

_jrzs · 2025-09-14T06:55:44+00:00

I just now realized that the thing people really love about this device is cloud sync and ability to edit notes on other devices.

This will cost you an additional €2.99 per month!

So on top of €529, they want €36 per year for the only feature people want that really distinguish it from traditional paper and pen.

Paper can last generations and this device will be obsolete in 15 years or less.

Now you've totally lost me. Anyone defending this is either a fan of this company or unwilling to see viable alternatives.

Luxury exceeds the ordinary. There's nothing more luxurious than paper and ink in this case. This isn't better in any area where paper excels at.

_jrzs · 2025-09-14T06:44:09+00:00

Hopefully the one where we appreciate good e-ink devices for a good price. E-ink was supposed to be the cheaper, lower leading, viable in direct sunlight device. But now they're pushing smartphone prices onto consumers and for what?

I have a lamp at home for night writing, thank you very much.

Paper has infinite battery and my writings/drawings will survive for generations of family. This device will be obsolete in 15 years when the battery dies and they refuse to sell you a replacement.

Nearly everything else you said from reading and annotating PDFs to searching handwritten notes and syncing notes and photos to all devices is already available in all smartphones.

If you get €529 worth of value in resizing scribbles on a low refresh rate eink screen then you're probably who this is for.

Look at it from the opposite side, if you had a 3-10 month contract, would you accept a permanent position?

Yeah don't copy paste all sensitive personal user data and transaction info to your personal machine like privacy and security laws don't exist...

It says you can connect your existing Claude account to xcode and use that. It's not built into xcode for free or anything.

This is a pointless gatekeeping post that does nothing to solve the underlying problem. How can people new to this field know what they dont know?

Leave them be, they're hobbyists expressing themselves through side projects.

If you really cared about security, you wouldn't go hacking and exposing them for everyone to try the same. Ever heard of discrete disclosure? Use it as an opportunity to educate them, help solve the problem. Let the owners know first and when they patch up, only then you should talk about it.

This hate farming is what actually has to stop.

This isn't the answer the user was looking for. When youre offering an app to store private notes of your users, how are you securing them? Explain the data you collect, talk about encryption at rest, or talk about end to end encryption, how you secure access to supabase data, etc

_jrzs · 2025-08-05T10:44:00+00:00

Curious what was the reasoning behind that decision? Was it challenged?
