>It's a cool open-hardware and open-source project.
this is very disingenuous. it's a product being developed by a company. this isn't some github repo with a few images of an open source e-ink reader made by some hacker guy, this is a proper thing that is being designed, developed and maybe pushed to the market.
and to me, if you're a company developing a product you should at least make sure its basic existence is justified. nobody has yet told me why this product has any real use.
Isn't that for the market to decide? It's not like they're using public funds for R&D, if people want it they'll pay for it and if they don't they won't.
I couldn't care less about the market. I am personally not in the slightest convinced by this product and I specifically asked other people to please tell me why they would want it. I just really dislike bullshit products (not projects) that lead nowhere and brain drain the open source world.
Personally I’d probably be a lot more productive without the YouTubes sucking me in whenever I have time to do stuff other than my job.
I read pdfs on my laptop, code using gedit without any fancy plugins for code highlighting or whatever and drop to the terminal if I need to mess with stuff. Hell, the majority of the time surfing the interwebs is in reader view on my iPhone, like a good 90% of the time.
Plus, you are in no way entitled to the brain power of anyone who you are not directly compensating for their labor.
