I got a Supernote A5X to read papers - I’m very happy with it and wouldn’t want a tablet. I specifically wanted a dumb device dedicated to notes/reading that I wouldn’t connect to the internet, which really helps me focus. The eink display is easy to read and is a great break from screens, it feels natural to write on.

However it’s not perfect - eink has a small lag in turning pages, so if you intend on flipping through a ton of pages while coding that may be a pain. The searching experience also isn’t great, typing takes longer because of the lag. I use it as an advanced notebook rather than a smart device, and I love it from that lens.

Agree - I jumped from a OnePlus 5T to a Pixel 5a 2 years ago and have no regrets. It really depends on what you’re modding for, but I found that on Pixel not having (as much) bloatware, getting the latest Android updates, having real Google Camera support instead of chasing the best mod, and using Wavelet instead of Viper4Android took care of most of my rooting needs. Instead, with the unlockable bootloader I’ve been able to explore custom OSes like GrapheneOS which has been really great!

I believe it’s this issue for 0.0.36, where it will always use your account’s preferences: https://github.com/dessalines/jerboa/issues/887

It looks like a temporary fix is already done, so it should be fixed when they make a new release (0.0.37). As a quick fix for 0.0.36, it looks like if you change your account’s preferences, quit the app and reopen, it’ll use those new settings (but that’s definitely a pain), you could also use the web version.

I am in shock, had to take a second to process that - Infinity Train blew me away and I’m beyond excited to see Owen Dennis leading another show! Never would have expected an Among Us show though - hope he has free reign to go interesting places with it!

I’m really excited for what it means for the future! I’m not going to buy a first-gen product like this, but the fact that Google is making a foldable hopefully means that Android is going to become a better experience on devices like these, so when the technology does get cheaper the software will be ready for it. I’m totally onboard with having a larger display in a more pocketable form factor.
