I know that you're joking and that I'm late to reply but honestly thinking about the care and planning that has to go into laying railroad tracks and the efficiency of adhesion traction, I would kill for computer that came close to what I imagine using a railbike feels like (a long time dream of mine). Imagine if someone put that much thought into Finder (or Apple Music).

I'm only allowed either Windows or Mac at work so I'll just get less and less efficient until I'm replaced by an LLM.

I really can't believe how bad it's gotten. I know people on here have been complaining about the direction of macOS for years but in the last few years it increasingly feels like I'm being punished for using my computer.

A bicycle for your mind with squeaking brakes and a skipping chain.

Thanks a lot for the reply. I totally understand the resources argument, especially as I'm probably one of the people who'd come looking to support forums because I bricked my device.

I'm super excited about the idea of a hackable e-paper device and look forward to seeing what happens. Congratulations on the launch, it's a great looking device.

Can I ask, as someone completely outside the industry, why can't this be open? Most users don't want to fiddle and you need to make things just work, I get that for sure. But if I could choose my own syncing service or hack around with the reader software I would buy this in a second.

I don't mean to pick on reMarkable alone. I have the same complaint about Kobo. Does a locked down operating systems really do anything for the bottom line of this company? This is not snark and I'm not judging, I am seriously asking about how hardware companies make these kinds of decisions.

Oh, thanks for this. I will read any thing by William Finnegan, especially if it has surf anywhere in the title.
