The latest generation paperwhite (“PW6”) and color readers use MTP rather than acting as mass storage devices.

I use OpenMTP rather than Amazon’s software, and that works fine for me.

I look forward to the day you release this! Watching your teaser gave me lots of nostalgia for the BASIC days of my youth.

Thanks! That proverbial “last mile” is honestly taking the longest amount of time. Even the subtle details are things my OCD insists on getting done right like reproducing VGA’s 9-dot text rendering, where 8-pixel-wide code page 437 dos text glyphs are shown in 9-pixel-wide character cells.

Trying to make it as faithful as I can to period-correct hardware of the 80s/90s. I'm hoping to get it done in the next week or so and will definitely do a Show HN!

Also, people in North America who don’t have tech jobs exist. I make pretty good money as a teacher, and it’s still significantly less than many of the parent posters salaries.

Can you share the shortcut link? That sounds very useful

And if you like the Pentel GraphGear 500, you might want to check out the Pentel Sharp Kerry -- it's metal but with a post-able cap which makes it very pocketable.

Sure - here’s the shortcut:

Some notes on using it: - Don’t input any degrees if you don’t want the image rotated (I wanted an option to also take vertical photos)

- I usually save the image directly in my obsidian vault (folder)

- In the final “share” step you have to choose the obsidian app and then import it into your vault and into the daily note or somewhere else. Or some other app of your choice.

Thanks! This is really neat

For what an anecdote’s worth, I have the same rechargeable Norelco razor that I’ve had going on 17 years. Same nicd battery it came with; gets recharged about once every three weeks. I think it’ll relive me.

In case the author is here, you can find the Garland & Garland (1980) article on sci-hub.

And if link is allowed https://sci-hub.ru/https://doi.org/10.1093/ije/9.3.227

I expect the author is aware of that: where do you think he got the graph from if there's only 'gated copies'? But Sci-Hub links are unstable even if you don't mind linking them.

Linking to sci-hub for a known blogger may lead to undesired legal consequences in case the journal copyright mafia decides to make an legal example of you.

I drink “two cups a day.” But it’s like 24-30 ounces.

Mine was defaulted to disabled. I’m on the Education pro plan (academic), so maybe that’s different than personal?

I subscribe to this model as well, with the caveat that I try to only look at local news to my city and my field. I can’t do anything about the nonsense at a national level, I can do my part in the local context.

That was a really fun experience. Thank you for sharing!
