I love the buttons, would loath a touchscreen on this size format. Just add a backlight!

I love my X4 as well, and would love a backlight. Crosspoint and its downline forks are great.
the only funny thing about the X4 is reading it in bright sunlight. it will corrupt the image on the screen on page turn unless you shade it? something to do w/ older eInk screens and not having a UV Filter. weird, slightly annoying.
Its increased my reading 2-3x though!

Results Generation | Cloud & DevOps Engineer | Austin, TX (Hybrid)
We're a digital marketing platform company running a fleet of PHP/Lumen microservices on GCP, and supporting/rebuilding a legacy monolith. Small team, no bureaucracy, real infrastructure problems — multi-cluster Kubernetes, async messaging, database replication, content delivery at scale.
You'll own day-to-day infrastructure operations: multi-cluster Kubernetes, Terraform-driven GCP resources, Jenkins CI/CD pipelines, and on-call. Hands-on role — you're the person keeping production reliable and making it better.
Stack: GCP (GKE, Cloud SQL, GCS, Secret Manager, Workload Identity), Kubernetes, Terraform + Atlantis, Jenkins, Helm 3, Docker, MySQL (primary + replicas), RabbitMQ, Redis/Dragonfly, Elasticsearch, Grafana/Prometheus, Scalyr, Flux, Ansible.
Looking for: 3-5 years with cloud infrastructure in production. Solid Kubernetes and Terraform experience. Comfortable operating MySQL with replication. On-call experience — you've been paged and written postmortems. Networking fundamentals (VPNs, private endpoints, DNS, TLS).
Nice to have: GCP-specific experience, RabbitMQ, Elasticsearch, GitOps tooling, multi-cloud or cross-cloud migration experience.

So does Apple's Mail Client. So do most webmail providers. Open signals are generally worthless.

You cannot run a standard distro (easily) - their software (DSM) is linux based and they expose most of the stock services like Docker and libvirt

I have family in very rural east texas. They have 1Gps bidirectional at the hands of EasTex Co-Op spending federal dollars to actually lay fiber across their service area.
Lots of them took the money and ran, some jammed it into real infrastructure.

My kids love theirs, and we get tons of comments from other parents since they'll happily listen to stories on them instead of begging for a screen.
They swap cards with their friends, and so long as its on a wifi connection the first time the card is inserted, the local storage is plenty enough to keep the cache there for offline use.

yeah - valid point. it seems like they all moved past 5400RPM at the 14TB level.

I wish there was a way to underspin (RPM) some of these drives to lower noise for non-datacenter use - the quest for the Largest "Quiet" drive - is a hard one. It would be cool if these could downshift into <5000RPM mode and run much quieter.
Newest: 5.6.40-104 which has the CVE fixes.
