DebacleI use a #KoboTouch (a.k.a. N905C or Touch C or kobo4) since 12 years now.
It's 165 × 114 × 10 [mm] with 185 g.
I never connected it to the #Kobo #bookshop for #privacy reasons. Instead, I just copied the #epub files to it.
I run two #freeSoftware #ereader apps on it: #koreader and #plato. I prefer the former, but many enjoy the latter. The builtin reader isn't entirely bad, but I strongly suggest the other options.

mythologyandhistoryDid you know that owning gold or silver was illegal in #Ancient #Sparta ?
Sparta is said to have had only brittle iron bars as currency. These couldn't be used for anything else due to their devalued state, & their heaviness (making them hard to hoard). Other Greek states did not accept them, so they kept Sparta isolated, too.
#Plato saw this as one of the ideals of a perfect state, as a lack of precious metals meant a lack of #greed.

Rupert V/I just mentally translated "res publica" as "the thing about people" and along with my ongoing campaign to restore the original meaning of "symposium" (a philosophical argument where everyone gets drunk) this sounds exactly how a lot of my theses start.

IRAPLast month, #ESA engineers installed #PLATO in the Large Space Simulator (#LSS) at the ESA's Test Center. Throughout March, the #satellite will be exposed to the extreme #temperature and #pressure conditions found in space: https://www.esa.int/ESA_Multimedia/Images/2026/03/Plato_readies_for_space-like_tests
The mission to detect #Earth-like exoplanets or #exo-Earths is scheduled to be finalized by the end of the year. Launch on an #Ariane6 rocket planned for January 2027! 🚀

Leon FurzeA Brief History of Artificial Intelligence
Like any complex technology, Artificial Intelligence has its roots in a number of fields. From philosophy to computer science, mathematics to linguistics, tracing the history of AI and automation is a difficult business. The field was officially named in the 1950s, but ideas about automated machines have existed since long before then. This is a history of the development of Artificial Intelligence from some of its earliest philosophical and theoretical inceptions through to modern day […]https://leonfurze.com/2023/02/11/a-brief-history-of-artificial-intelligence/
