I’m probably an outlier, but I don’t understand the reason of an e-ink device if you put android on it, add colors, add touchscreen and constant connection. Why not just go with amoled if you want all of that? Probably it’s even cheaper.
E-ink is a specific technology that has it’s advantages in powersaving and reduced eye strain, it was never a replacement for our pocket led flashlights we call smartphones. All beauty of it is it can take one physical form and stay in it infinitely before something refreshes it.
It excels at some tasks, and on a custom OS made with it’s quirks in mind can serve as a book or some indicator that would consume that little in years it can as well be a rounding error. Books, digital price tags, the tablets from Star Trek, variable road signs, billboards? If it stays the same before you boot in and change it, that sure has it’s uses.
But no, they want to add complexity to it’s design, add additional battery drain, up the price, to compete with a tech that plays another sport. It’s stupid. Like cracking up nuts with a microscope.
What I personally want is that additional R&D make it cheaper to produce b\w screens, make them sturdy and affordable up to the point we’d give them out in the classrooms for free instead of paperbacks, and for it to become the default device to read long-form un-interactive content, and to use them in devices that don’t refresh too often like some house and car indicators.
I mean, reflected light is less harmful. We aren’t looking directly at the sun for it leaves ghost shapes even after we turn our head, but it’s lights’ reflections is what makes or eyes see. Basic e-Inks don’t emit light, some backlit it from the side, or from the back, but they are still more safe than displays that do work by emmiting light of some color directly to you, and there was a race to reach the wider angle they can do it too, for older devices had colors nearly inverted if seen from the sharp angle.

… but they saw Belarusian KGB was on high alarm prepared to capture them so they’ve chosen an active warzone as an escape route insted, lol. Probably he thought he’d look better this way compared to actual response in Moscow, especially since russian siloviki helped him put down protests that he can still be embarassed about. I’m not surprised with how little regard for human lives are with him and his dear partners, but more with regular people actually supporting them for decades. Yet, I find that this tragedy has troubles being sold as Us-vs-Them even with war fans, for different and sometimes even positive reasons.
European intelligence suggests that Russia may launch an attack on Europe during the winter of 2024-2025 if the United States finds itself "without a leader" following the 2024 U.S. presidential election, the German tabloid Bild reported on Dec. 23, citing an anonymous European intelligence source.
I highly doubt that EU offensive is on the table, but, well, other than what you’ve said, these aging bastards won’t have any repercussions for whatever they’d order. They don’t lose anything but Vanya units on the map, they’d likely find a great retirement somewhere in Africa in the end. They can gamble whatever they have and still stay on the top.
It’s a question of how EU and NATO can respond, if the’d respond. There’s a need for more tools to make oligarchs, modern-time boyars, lose everything and suffer, maybe even Mossad-style, in order for gating any new offensives. To make them know they won’t be safe after doing X.
Imagine if, all at once, the whole cabinet would fly into Uganda or wherever country Wagner PMC took hold of. Is there an instrument to make them face anything then? Or they can just sniff coke and fuck for the next twenty years? Would there be any consequencies?
You are mostly right, but why won’t he though? Why didn’t he nuke Harkov, or Kiyv? There’s still something he or his henchmen care about, something setting their limits. And I hope EU intelligence knows about it to rationally plan their response scenarios.
He also knew it wouldn’t be ok with an open invasion. He knew it wouldn’t with Crimea and FSB’s Strelkov in DNR. In Georgia in 2008. In Chechnya. But he gambled.
And for so long no one cared besides directly endangered countries - like it changed your mil in 2014-2022 period from soviet-like pathetic scenes we saw in Donetsk videos (thanks to soviet corruption) to a reliable NATO-trained corps you operate now in a hurry. It’s only after the fact something is happening. And that’s not enough.
This dying piece of shit can think he can do anything, even nukes, if he knows the response would be slow and unmeaningful, or that he’s dying anyway. He needs something to fear in order to care. And now all we know is that he launched everything but nukes, meddled in Ukraine, EU and US policies, but is yet to push the red button. Haha, kay. Why countries having military spending more than that shithole’s gdp even enable that? He needed to have a fucking knife pointed onto his bowels way before everything I mentioned ever happened.
But yet, there we are. And as a paranoidal, not generally well-in-mind after all this madness person, I fear this fuckhead can bomb Kiyv after an obligatory erasion of Voronezh. Until there’s something to hurt him back. And I’m afraid there’re still not enough knifes behind him to really hope he wouldn’t make a parting gift. There’s a lack of a guarantee he wouldn’t do that. There should be one. There should’ve been one before it all happened.
Kharkiv it is. Thanks for reminding me. I’m still a little bit habituated by soviet-russian namings ):
