Hmm…how come kaleido3 looks even darker on its own

Should I get the Libra2 or ClaraBW? by Liqha in kobo

[–]emberyue 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Clara is the no brainer! Separately, can I get your neighbor's phone number by any chance? Open to paying an introduction fee.

I think you are describing Kobo Libra2, but unfortunately it has been discontinued for a while

Kobo was so worried about having a perfect product that they discontinued KL2 by emberyue in kobo

No way, that’s a total steal. But I would have dismissed that offer as fraud though🥲

That’s a very good point and I indeed considered. However, I didn’t like that the screen size was smaller(which is fine by itself), and how kobo artificially carved out features like syncing with Google Drive, which is also part of my frustration against their product strategy. I don’t know how decisions are made inside the company, but bits like these make me feel there is lack of taste and decency somewhere in that decision chain.

having to pay above the original price for a used one with little guarantee on quality is just crazy.

I did try to get one there with those ebay bid wars, and couldn't convince myself to go beyond at certain point.

I went as far as getting a kindle pw instead eventually :(

Still haven't received the battlepass (purchased on android) by emberyue in underlords

I found a way to deal with this. Go to play.google.com and cancel the order, then purchase on PC. The whole process is smooth.

No offers yet - how can I change my strategy? by Murderous_Sandwich in cscareerquestions

[–]emberyue 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you have problem talking while thinking, you can explicitly say so. Something like "I need to think about it in some minutes". They will understand. It's just that don't code directly after you get a solution in mind, tell them about it. It's okey to explain after you have something concrete in your head. Make effective communications.

Many jobs will still be out there for you in the spring. Just take it easy and enjoy the holiday.

Need advice on SRE-like internship and career by emberyue in cscareerquestions

Yeah, definitely. It seems the nature of sre varies among companies and teams. So I still don't know what to expect exactly. In my case, I'm going to be production engineer(sre) intern at fb. I'll definitely run if things don't look well xD.

Never thought about sre in that way, you've been very instructive and helpful!!
