I’m pretty into the remarkable and run a Twitter account retweeting content. (@rehackable - inspired by the GitHub repo of the same name)

The RM1 was pretty well modded, but the RM2 is currently somewhat stuck due to a missing frame buffer driver. Some good people are working hard on it though and it seems like it’ll be solved fairly soon. [0]

It suffers a lot from the low storage, which is enough to keep me from wanting one even as a consumer device, let alone to hack on it.

USD $ 450 (price) buys 72 reams of paper (amazon) which also requires a lot of storage :^)

I’ve read it’s basically a Linux box with an ssh server. Not read about running a DE/wm on it though.

Unfortunately, it's only available in limited countries[1].

Yeah. Sucks that it does not ship to India. Feels like the 80s again, where you tell your relatives and friends to get one for you when they return from abroad.

plus ça change, plus c’est la même chose.

Kindle too, which doesn't stop me from using it in one of those "unsupported countries" for the past decade.
