I own a reMarkable Tablet, unfortunately its software has many teething troubles. For instance, the regular* eraser doesn't erase everything. I.e. on the tablet, it appears as it erases everything, but as soon as you export the page some fragments reappear. Also the percentage battery indicator is unreliable. Or was, they simply removed the indicator in an update. Now, you only have a approximated indicator, which is annoying (I hope the origin of the problem is not hardware related).

If they keep on working on the software, it'll be an awesome device. I love that one has root access via SSH and the writing and reading experience is splendid. However, I have to add this is my first "e-reader", so for me missing features like a dictionary is no biggie. Someone who has owned a kindle might find the reading mode rather limited and thus unsatisfactory.

I had a N9 and I loved it. The user experience of MeeGo was just awesome and very innovative! Choosing Windows phone over MeeGo was definitely a mistake. In my opinion Windows phone doesn't have a chance against Android and iOS as it doesn't offer something that makes people think "omg that's so cool, I gotta have that". I guess quite a few people would have thought that if the N9 hadn't been dropped so fast and if they'd had a chance to play with the N9.

There is also the possibility to use cornstarch, flour or other powders for fire breathing. This should be safe, you shouldn't inhale the powder though.

I did it once, when I was around 12 years old. It looks a little less cool than with fluids, but it was still an awesome experience.

https://gcc.godbolt.org is also helpful, it colorizes the assembly output corresponding to the C/C++ source. Furthermore, you can simply change between Intel and AT&T synatx.

I use a VPN that tunnels through Sweden and I just got the GEMA "error message", but I don't even live in Germany (so information leak should not be the case). After changing the VPN exit node to another country, it worked. "Gate-Keepers" can be a problem, but hosting videos on your own can be quite expensive, so I'd recommend to use several distribution ways/different hosters.
