How do you guys build your eink devices?

What parts do you use? Where do you order your parts from? How do you find their vendors? Does it cost more to build the device than usual market eink devices?

Audiophiles of india, what headphones/neckbands do you use?

I'm looking to upgrade my 6 yr old Boat Rockerz 518 and my 2 yr old Realme Wireless buds 3 (falling apart) into some premium-looking and feeling audio equipment. My main areas of importance are ergonomics and comfort, sound quality, and longevity. What do you suggest?

NO EARBUD RECOMMENDATIONS PLEASE (I much rather prefer neckbands)

Which stylus do you guys prefer for eink screens?

I just realised that I can use my Samsung S pen on my Boox Note Air5 C, and it has opened up a world of new possibilities for me. I can even switch the nibs! Since when was that a feature!

Anyways, now I wanna dive deep into this and make sense of what stylus+nib will give the best feeling of pen on paper with the Boox NA5C screen. Ergonomics, friction, wear&tear, aesthetics I'm looking at all parameters now. What are your suggestions?

Looking to commission an artist to turn a screenshot into a high-quality printable poster

I want to print this screenshot as an A3 size poster, but the colours in this are too dark, and the screenshot's resolution is too low for A3. I'd like to pay a digital artist to enhance this image in the way I ask them to, without making any changes to the core picture.

The Onyx Boox Note series is genuinely top tier, and one of the best academic purchases anyone could make. But...

I really wish the workflow of the notes app was smoother. Page flipping, scratching out mistakes, and switching pens takes a second, and that's a second too long. It's a significant interruption in my workflow.

Idk, are my expectations for eink devices too high? Is it possible for this to be resolved in the next 2 or 3 generations of this device?

Patrick Jane would have been a hell of an efficient therapist. He would've been the best at the job. I wish he was my therapist.

I've spent the last year or so of my life in therapy, and while it was quite helpful, it made me realise how much time, effort and sacrifice of comfort goes into each session, with very minimal payoff. It made me despise the slow, arduous nature of conventional psychotherapy, requiring at least 8-10 months to treat a patient fully.

If the therapist could instantly recognise who I am, what kind of a person she's dealing with, what would best work for me, what are the thoughts brewing in my head, it would expedite the process by so, so, so much. I'd have to spend a lot less time, money and effort overall, which is such a huge plus point. And who better suited for all this, than Patrick Jane himself! A few minutes, a few questions and he'll have already read you like a book. The wonders he could do with a cooperative subject is actually crazy to think about.

Anyone else feel this way?

How do new anime shows gain popularity across the world?

Usually for new media, popularity is mostly built pre-release, as a result of marketing, discussion and accessibility. But for more recent anime, I see barely anything out of these. I get to know about these mainly through word of mouth, or from an influx of posts online. I have literally never seen a trailer for a fresh anime, or seen discussions related to it online- it just pops up out of nowhere, and all of a sudden everyone is talking about it.

The example I have in mind is that of Witch Hat Atelier. I've watched a lot of anime, and I had no idea about its existence until I started seeing numerous posts about it on reddit. Similarly for Frieren- genuinely zero knowledge of it's existence, and one day all my friends were talking about it out of the blue.

What is this phenomenon? How does it work? Why do other types of shows (mostly western) rely so heavily on worldwide marketing, while new animes just... Explode into popularity out of nowhere? How do their discussions spread so quickly across the internet, despite them being notoriously hard to watch on any platform?
