This new technology fascinates me: E-ink displays are now coming as large posters, which means they do not require a wire, and you can change the poster picture 1000 times before recharging.
This is so much better for the climate than using a tv for art in the livingroom.

@gsuberland heh, I was a bit :o the first time I was in NYC (2015): outright military-level police outfitting, casually strolling around the city. esp tourist areas. I realize there’s a small “but uniformed” difference here, but..
(for a baseline: I’d previously been around trigger happy thugs in a number of places around Africa, and even been through a lesser crowd riot in one of the (soccer) games I worked at, but that nyc experience? actually made me anxious)

I love the recent use of "ass" as a modifier means "as unto" or "strongly resembling"
Language, amirite?

I ❤ language change.
That's awful. And by that I mean it fills me with awe.
It's artificial, as in very artistic.
We shouldn't cleave the meanings of words (and by that I mean both cling to and separate).
Language gonna language dude.

It is a big problem with the Democrats that Trump (who gives tax breaks for the rich) can get away with putting on high vis and getting photos in a garbage truck. That should have been the left's territory, but left in the US is university educated city slickers.

American biotech company Regeneron Pharmaceuticals announced today that it's buying 23andMe,
the bankrupt consumer-genomics company that sold take-home DNA kits.
Regeneron is to pay $256 million in cash to acquire "substantially all" of 23andMe's assets,
including its massive biobank of around 15 million customer genetic samples and data.
Put simply, the genetic information of millions is now in the hands of a drugmaker seeking to mine it to make new therapies,
per the Washington Post, which could be a data privacy nightmare in the making.

in reply to Randahl Fink • • •now I'm wondering if an e-ink display exists which can be powered by induction coil (wireless charging, what electric toothbrushes use, etc) so that you can update and power them on demand.
Maybe starting smaller with store shelf labels instead though...

in reply to Randahl Fink • • •I thought the point pf e-ink was that they only need power while changing the picture. So why do they need recharging? Just plug in a USB cable while changing the picture.
Wi-Fi would draw enough power to ruin the concept anyway.

in reply to Randahl Fink • • •this is a good eink display, with great saturated primary color, but really low on secondary one like magenta ...
Good for ad in street & shops as thoses unsaturated color can be take into account.
But not for art display yet (next gen maybe)
