"Currently the DRAM shortage will impact the production of devices like the #Pinetab2, #PineNote and #PinePhone. #PineStore founder #TLLim has stated that he doesn’t wish to increase the price of hardware significantly so production is halted for the time being."

Until the #AI bubble bursts.

Also, no #PinePhone2 any time soon, for various reasons 😞

@srijan @jiewawa Holy crap! This looks like it can be super useful! This could transform my #PineNote from something that just allows casual passive reading for fun to a device for producing real knowledge in my #Denote database.

Thank you!

The #PineNote arrived early! And of course I already installed Arch on it.

It's everything I hoped for. Looks elegent, light, perfect size, display refreshes really fast (when configured correctly), excellent for reading manga, and handwriting works well. Probably not quite as responsive as the Remarkable but more importantly it has zero vendor lock-in.

Software is definitely only for Linux enthusiasts, needs tinkering and not stable enough mass markets, but it works better than I expected!

After ~40 million years of wanting a decently sized eink device with pen and constantly being disappointed that all that's on the market has some weird locked down Android OS and/or is tied to the vendor's cloud services, I finally ordered a #PineNote, an open source eink tablet.

Had been following the project for a while but it was always in early development and/or sold out. Seems to be somewhat ready now and even includes a pen! Can't wait to install Arch on it and run Doom :P

@shom a while back you were posting about your #PineNote E-Ink tablet, now that you've had it for a while, assuming you still have it, how has it been holding up for you? Do you still use it and enjoy it?
