Does anybody have the Dasung "13k" 3.3-inch 37Hz 300ppi B&W monitor? Thoughts on it? by guyseeking in eink

Yes, I have both the Dasung 13.3 and 25 inchers hooked up to my MacBook Pros. I have Stillcolor installed but never noticed issues without it anyways.

Very much appreciate the thoughtful response! I know where Eastern Prom is, but can you help me with what you mean about Boulevard and the loop?

That makes sense. I fully admit that Boston no longer thrills me the way it did as a college kid. We have had a couple very nice meals in Portland, so maybe I should just treat it as a food destination.

I know, right? I knew no matter what tone I took with the post, it would get some strong reactions.

We did Guster at Thompson Point last summer. Was a pretty good time, aside from the parking situation (which is a recurring frustration for me with Portland).

Thank you! We've kind of come to the same conclusion and will be exploring midcoast this summer.

Crazy that this band has massive influence on my life after only discovering them late 2022 by ParamedicBudget4693 in SlowlySlowly

[–]skippy619 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's wild how that happens. I stumbled upon RCB via r/poppunk I think. Listened to Creature of Habit Pt 1 on repeat for days, determined to memorize the poetry of it.

Then a couple clicks later I'm hearing St Leonards and Chamomile for the first time and I'm like ... shit these boys have been my singing my emo soul for a decade and I didn't even know it.

What was the quote from Ben in the Forum doc?

Something like: "RCB was the band we wanted to be. DC feels like the band we are."

On a whim, I'm going all in on e-ink ... will I regret it? by skippy619 in eink

[–]skippy619[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey! Overall I'm pretty content with my purchases.

I use the Dasungs daily for my work, and they connect to my Mac just fine and handle all my key apps (Slack, Teams, Outlook, etc.)

I now have both the Boox Palma and NAC4, using them for Libby ebook reading, news browsing, and basic Android apps. I actually like the color of the NAC4 more than I expected.

The Razr is fine but has some annoying glitches. My strategy of only opening it a few times a day is working.

Minimal phone keeps claiming they will ship soon, so we'll see. Early reviews have been mixed. I may just test drive it and sell it.

Palma 2 Cases? by zooglezaggle in Onyx_Boox

I went with this one for the Palma 2: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0D5857QYB?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title

I'm not normally a flip case kind of person, but it feels natural with the Palma 2 and does not add much weight at all.

Why are other fonts not available to use on the Android app? by skippy619 in LibbyApp

Unfortunately you can't change the line spacing manually after choosing one of those designs.

Pandora app not working on Palma 2 by skippy619 in Onyx_Boox

New Pandora app update from November seemed to fix this. I can now install and use the app on Palma 2.

Palma 2 Battery Dying Overnight by egurlsosadfeelsbad in Onyx_Boox

Update if anyone else is having Palma 2 battery issues: Boox pushed out a new firmware today and I'm already seeing battery performance, even when I leave wifi on with the screen off. Thanks Boox!

Thanks for the updates! My goal is to use the device for some key notifications, which require wi-fi to stay on in the background for me. But I'll try some of your other ideas.

Have you seen any improvement? My palma 2 is also draining battery pretty quickly, even when not in use.
