I have the Kobo Libra Color and the contrast on the X4 is much much better.

The whole sticking-it-to-the-back-of-your-phone i find a bit useless, but mine came with two metal rings so that I can stick it to other places.

I have one ring on the dashboard of my car so the X4 can hang there until i need to use it. Good for trips with many stops.

512 GB according to the manual, but it probably depends on the card.

I’ve had this idea that is just too awful for me to actually do it.

Create a script that generates brainrot videos with a voice just reading popular Wikipedia pages out loud.

One thing that isn’t mentioned in the article is that driver’s education in US is a fucking sad joke, and the driving tests even more so.

Many mention rules about yielding, and having to stop when turning right on red: most of the drivers only know a fraction of the rules. They never learned most of them.

I’m not sure about this, but my understanding is that some states don’t even require a license if you are older.

Or beam them and delete the buffer

Mentioning the president is a bit like saying the pope is old. They are both selected/elected old.

It also stowed the other items, and know how much space they take up.

From the article:

> “When you’re a person doing this task, you’ve got a buffer of 20 or 30 items, and you’re looking for an opportunity to fit those items into different bins, and having to remember which item might go into which space. But the robot knows all of the properties of all of our items at once, and we can also look at all of the bins at the same time along with the bins in the next couple of pods that are coming up. So we can do this optimization over the whole set of information in 100 milliseconds.”

How would a “cursory research” reveal that they are lying in their online material?
