rooted nooks are incredible. i still use my nook simple touch from 2012 as my primary ereader. if you manager your own local epub library instead of using a centralized store/platform like amazon kindle, rooted nooks are incredibly usable and versatile. it is worth noting, if you plan to use a nook w/ barne and noble's store, anything from before 2013 loses support after June of this year. But if you're buying ebooks you can just get them directly from the publisher or author for the same price (or often cheaper), so i see little reason to buy into a single platform w/ DRM.

[@paramveersi3100]

i can second this i have nook simple touch and its rooted and i got it for free cuz they stopped working in the uk :D

better yet: get a 7th gen kindle paperwhite for $20 and jailbreak it with KUAL, then use KOreader as your default reader.

Thinkpad's are amazing. I once dropped a T420 on the floor and it hit a corner. The laptop took no damage. The floor however actually had a small dent.

[@AlexanderWolh]

My mind and heart says Thinkpad, Sony and Nook but my budget says typewriter, dumb phone and paper

[@ocelotmadness6287]

Ironically a working typewriter actually costs more than a used thinkpad. My t530 was 35$ and a working typewriter starts at 100~$

[@geckoram6286]

@@ocelotmadness6287 The other day I saw a basic electronic typewriter for less than 40€. Although I'm typing this in a 35€ thinkpad sl510, so you're right

[@MichaelReevesOfficial]

@@anjneyrai ig he saying abt newer ones

[@snow4dv]

​@@anjneyrai those who use thinkpads (i do use x13) are now basically stuck with old models because of the trackpoint/good keyboard (they made it even worse in new generation and comparable to generic laptops) - so not getting used to it might be a good think if you're doing some heavy stuff on it (but otherwise basic t480 will last you for a long time)

I have a Galaxy watch 3 classic and a Galaxy watch 4. I mostly use the 4 as a sleep tracker and the G3 classic during the day for the timer function to remind myself to stand up and move around and I have a protective case on it which makes it bulky, which is why I sleep with the G4 but I also like the interface on the G3 better. They're relatively cheap, as far as smart watches go and with 2 watches and I can swap between them when they charge and can keep the battery between 35-85% or more to extend the battery life I also have a $30 Casio solar watch if I just want to keep track of time without worrying about battery life or want something that I can shower/swim with or check the time if I wake up in the middle of the night and not fiddle with a smart watch. Oh, and I have a $100 solar dress watch that I never wear as well.

To those who want a thinkpad I would highly suggest the T480 variant because it has a internal and external battery which is pretty rare while having 2 ssd slots, 2 ram slots you can even upgrade its touchpad and and keyboard into a backlit one which is sick.

Moondrop's Space Travel definitely tops the cheap TWS market where I'm from. It has ANC and great sound for only $20. I would also suggest getting yourself a very cheap 2-in-1 laptop and outsourcing everything to a home pc through a remote desktop app or simply having a pc and your phone who connects to it remotely. The only drawbacks of this is the poor internet connection problem when it comes to classrooms buried deep within the building or schools located in bustling cities. I would also suggest getting yourself an ESP32 to leech off single connection wifi and spread them for your other devices or friends. As it is also a general purpose microcontroller, you can upgrade it however you want such as making it a power bank, storage device, sim carrier loader as its own wifi and anything you can think of.

[@raphedit_]

the Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact look so good

[@MrKata55]

Good recomm with that 8th gen, also for x380/390 you can get the Yoga variant which has a touch-screen and a built pen bay/compartment with one so you never forget it! However I'm a little concerned with their durability, the ones which are charged via only the USB-C/Thunderbolt ports... those ports unfortunately wear down with time and I can feel the ones in my Yoga X1 already getting loose. Guess I'll just mount a DC barrel jack connector (the ultimate tried & tested in longevity, universitality and reliability when it comes to power supply connectors) when they break.

I don’t have a machine not running Linux at this point. My gaming pc is running arch, m1 Mac has asahi fedora, and my thinkpad arch w/hyprland. The remarkable also is running a custom loader so I can use third party apps and access the terminal wo/ ssh. Totally sweet, use Linux, use ereaders!
