The Timothy Seals covers are amazing.

According to the documentation it does have ODPS. I haven’t tried it out yet.

I recently picked up an Xteink X4 for $55. Flashed the Crosspoint firmware on it. Crosspoint just works and has no bloat. I love being able to set the device and send books via the self-hosted web interface. Sending books via wifi from Calibre works too.

Buttons on the reader are nice. I actually prefer not having a touchscreen for something so small. I do wish it had a front light though. This turned out to be the less-expensive-non-Android-just-an-ereader alternative to Boox that I was searching for. Loving it so far.

Star Citizen. I’m less disappointed in the tech demo than how Chris Roberts has handled the business end of it.

I grew up on Wing Commander, Privateer, Starlancer, and Freelancer. I still have all those games on physical media with original boxes. And the Wing Commander CIC is the one website I still visit daily since 1997-ish. So when Roberts pitched a new space game back around 2012 I was thrilled. Well, we all know how that turned out. I’ve given up waiting for any release of Star Citizen and Squadron 42.

Direct Attached Storage. It’s kinda like NAS but not in network. One could argue it’s just an external hard drive. If I remember correctly I went with one because it was more affordable. I was on a tight budget at the time.

• Steam Deck (I spend 90% of my time gaming on my couch than at my desk)
• Minidisc Players (There was some MD hate in the other thread but community-made software has come a long way)
• Kobo (Freeing myself from Amazon’s DRM)
• DAS (Creating my own media collection on Jellyfin)

• First generation Samsung Android Watch (Just plain useless)
• Asus Transformer TF101 Tablet (Bloated UI)
• Acer C720 Chromebook (a bit better after installing Xfce over ChromeOS)
• Fiio M11 DAP (it’s chunky and I just never use it)

The 80s had amazing TV show theme songs. If I only had to pick one it would be Miami Vice.

I love SomaFM! Been listening since the early days. My favorite channels: Groove Salad Classic, DefCon, Vaporwaves, Department Store Christmas (during the holidays).
