Waterfall··on Ask HN: Has any progress been made on large format E-ink displays?
If they're not that rare, why are they rare? Where did I make a judgement on their success or even use that word? Are you replying to the right person? I doubt you've looked into the theory behind screen addiction (I didn't believe it either). It's the vivid colors and the effects they have on your brain according to neuroscience, plus the manipulation that companies utilize. I've changed my screens to grayscale and have no such problems now.

In higher level education they also use the familiar chalkboard rather than electronics. I use this not to say the merits of their children's occupations (regression to the mean is common in families of great achievements) but as a warning of what people in tech see as a threat to their own children's well being. Electronics are wonderful but not for everything. If screens work better for you, perfect! They have been a hindrance to me, addiction to screens is very common today and I am weak enough to fall into they category.

They have these but the contrast is so poor that it's hard to read for the resolution it claims to have. Try the mobile reader forums. There's large Chinese ebook readers.

What about a trans reflective display? I don't know about them being high refresh though.

There's going to be a big display revolution soon. Microled will probably outclass everything until we're at cheap retinal laser displays.

If you don't need refresh, a drawing board can be suitable. You can use this. https://m.aliexpress.com/item/4000550295706.html?pid=808_000... OLED can work very well and I have used it for night reading over the eink display Kindle use. You may be interested in reflective LCDs like epaper too. A window outside is better for weather and writing a todo list is a better reminder. If you change your goal from remembering to do things and knowing how the outdoors is, you'll see that a large eink screen is not at all a productive use of money nor will it be the most optimal for knowing the weather or reminding you to do things. Writing notes in class helps you remember more than typing it, which in turn is better than taking a picture of the whiteboard. Famous tech enterprisers such as bill Gates and Steve jobs did not allow electronics to be used as learning tools for their children because they deemed them too distracting.

What genocide? America has funded many proxy wars (the mess in the middle east and fuels the constant with aid to both sides of the israeli/palestinian conflict) and China is actually modernizing africa instead of putting in banana republics. It is no more moral than China.

Input plugins? It has lots of identical plugins. Give it a try. deadbeef.sourceforge.net/plugins.html

Try deadbeef, it doesn't make real playlists (once changed they can't revert) but it's a carbon copy from another windows to linux convert. The UI editor is also substantially better. I just made an account to post this comment, so PM me for more details. It's all open source!
