Very nice. I played it for a bit recently but I quit at the water temple, didn’t intend to but it kinda made me. To no ones surprise I guess?

I don’t really know how they do it, but some do run newer Android versions like Android 14 (Meebook M8, Bigme B7). Anyway, the lack of Play store isn’t really a consideration in China, it’s only for foreign markets they have to include the Play store. This also means that China has many more Android e-ink brands than are available to us (which mostly are Boox, Meebook, Bigme or Hisense).

Still, e-ink is so much better than a regular screen. If one is really strapped for cash sure, but for one’s eyes sake I’d say e-ink is a worthwhile investment if one likes to read. A phone can’t compare.

To be honest I don’t really find them prohibitively expensive if you count the value you’ll get from them over the years. I have both a Kobo Libra 2 and an Android Boox Page, which I bought for different use cases. I see them both lasting me many years. My previous Kobo Aura One lasted me 7 years in itself before I sold it 2nd hand. My reading skyrocketed once I bought an e-reader.

I ran Actual Budget on this for a hot minute, worked great

The future sucks.

This needs to be told to so many on Lemmy. The “all or nothing” mentality is pervasive.

I run 2x 1440p monitors at 165hz and 144hz fine

As long as I need jobs and money I’m not ready to ditch LinkedIn.

Great guide! I’ll share it on my community !drm@lemmy.dbzer0.com :)

Crazy that there’s an instance about Ascendance of a Bookworm. I’ve just been reading this!

Great comment, agree!

Yeah, I think I agree with you tbh

This is the thing: https://vat-one-stop-shop.ec.europa.eu/index_en “VAT One-Stop Shop”, or IOSS

No, that’s a different thing. E.g., below €25 or something. This is a EU thing. It’s a bit complicated to explain though

Shops outside of the EU, like AliExpress, can collect VAT under €150, and therefore you won’t have the package go through customs. It’s a deal that the EU has made that allows shops outside of the EU to collect VAT for EU customers. It’s up to the shop to have that agreement though, so not all have it. But most bigger stores do. It’s only above €150 you’ll have to have the package go through, and pay, customs.

Yes, Kenny’s is safe. But the rest usually include VAT for EU countries, so it should pass customs without issues.

Kennys (Irish), Blackwell’s (British), Wordery (British)

Yep this is how I reason too

Haven’t heard about that. That sucks.
