Not particularly to be honest, I'm fine with the one my ISP gave me

if this display is one that everyone understands is epaper then what's the problem

> if everyone understands ... then what's the problem

"E-paper" means very little. It may mean "static" (and yet not necessarily "bistable", not even necessarily "efficient"), it may mean "reflective"... It is a marketing term.

So no, there is no real "agreed understanding" in it.


It's not just a marketing term. Everyone agrees that it means reflective screen, with reflectivity somewhat approaching real paper.

> Everyone

I would not be sure about that "everyone" - yes, clearly it should mean "reflective" (or similar, i.e. "improving visual conditions"), but it also may mean bistable or approaching that ("efficient"). (Paper has many different advantages.) Technologies to approach "better reading" features vary - in the tricks and in the gains. The term "electronic paper" is so slippery that in fact online news brodcasters can call their web distributed content (online news-/non/-papers and magazines) "epapers". All considered, avoidable term, unless we are clear about the point in the specific context we mention it.

> not just a marketing term

I meant, "so easily employable as a simplification for the customers".


just let her read on kindle, as you've said yourself it's a better option


yeah only universal compatibility what a shame


Universal compatibility only helps if you can actually reach the access point over the most crowded channels in the apartment building.


Do city people actually? lmao


Some of us have a challenging RF environment and rely on the 5GHz band for reliability, even for low data rates.


802.11a was ratified at the same time as 802.11b, and still doesn't have to fight with cheap baby monitors for bandwidth.


Do like international broadcasters do for these things and opt out to your own presenters with analysis etc


I'm unsure. I believe I've seen Telemundo at certain events, but they could have deals to rebroadcast and they'd have the same options as Paramount+. They can run ads over the broadcast ads and swap the audio feed with their own. The broadcast feed should have at the very least; a video feed, a crowd/stadium audio feed, and the commentary audio feed. So they could just not rebroadcast the commentary audio and replace it with their own.



it wants a whole domain when the interesting thing i want it to try lives in a directory


which URL is it? it's kind of a deep assumption since we're evaluating on ease-of-navigation from the homepage, and looking for /llms.txt etc. but there should be a way for me to add support


well you need to login to buy it anyway so it's not that much of a problem


Wait, what? I’m not sure I’ve ever used an online shop that didn’t allow you to buy things without registering, but then again I do most of my purchases in person and offline.


IMDb does it, too.


> The real URL is in the Location header on /goto. Request that URL. Do not follow the redirect.

what? the Location header is the redirect, no?

In v153.2.0ESR, it's More --> message body as --> plain text

and it absolutely does work.


If only that worked.
