  • The major benefit is using KOReader instead of Amazon’s reader. Main benefit of that is configurability in my opinion. I’m new to full-time use, so I’m not aware of everything it’s capable of, but it’s already way better. My headline features are direct connection to Calibre over the network, and the lack of any marketing to me whatsoever. My nice-to-haves are arbitrary lockscreen images, Wallabag support (have yet to explore this, but looks real fun), and the built-in RSS reader.

    Other than that, jailbreaking gives me the ability to fully disable ads and OTA updates.

    Everything else is pretty much toys and eye candy. KOReader is the main thing from what I can tell.




  • Would be a good idea to check how close you are to the write limit, then. Pricier cards have a higher write limit, but all SD cards are limited.

    Luckily, once you hit the limit, it turns read-only, so you can move to a new card pretty easy, but it will happen eventually.

    Neat to know you’ve got a longer life out of the card you bought, though! I’ll have to look into cards that have a higher write limit for my next Pi project!


  • Beware, HomeAssistant absolutely eats SD cards.

    A pi booting from an SD card is a good way to test it out, but HA does so much logging and other writing to storage that the write limit on the card gets used up very quickly. Took my setup only like a month or two to die when I first started with HA.

    If you want to run HAOS on a pi long-term, you will need to set up a different boot drive that can handle more lifetime writes.

    if microsoft changed their apis wouldnt new games just not work on proton?

    Also, this is antithetical to the purpose of Windows when it comes to backwards compatibility. Remember that one of its main selling points is the ability to run old programs, regardless of what version it originally targeted.

    Believe it or not, the industry would probably start a riot if ms breaks that paradigm. It’s like, one of the main reasons that it has the market-share that it does.








  • More space on the roof for stuff pointing up, more area around the edge for stuff pointing down and out. Mounting stuff is easier when you don’t have to hire professional tower climbers to do it.

    Heck, you can throw a freight elevator in there, and get so much more interest from tenants with just that. If tall buildings didn’t do all that so well already, I’m sure we’d see more of these around highly populated areas.
