As I mentioned earlier, whether a screen type is considered e-paper is subjective. And in my opinion, reflective LCD isn’t a type of e-paper. You may disagree, but it’s not “categorically” wrong.

Quote is from Wikipedia. You can see it’s the case for both models here:
Besides, I own a Pebble Time watch and can tell you, it doesn’t perform like a typical e-paper. It has the bad viewing angles of LCD and screen goes blank when power is lost.
The watch featured a 32-millimetre (1.26 in) 144 × 168 pixel black and white memory LCD using an ultra low-power “transflective LCD”
The problem is that e-paper is a category of displays, and some companies label reflective LCDs as “e-paper”. Which is subjective (and I personally heavily disagree with that categorization, cause then LCD clocks and Gameboys have “e-paper” displays, too).
But in the comment I responded to it was said Pebble has “eink” display, which is categorically wrong, as that is a very specific proprietary technology, which is e-paper in traditional sense, like the ones in Kindles.
IIRC, it has a reflective LCD, not epaper display.
What’s with the egg covering the PS logo?
Yeah, my pedantic ass always cringes at stretched consonants and silent vowels.

Yeah, it’s correct. What they did is, for every year they place a dot with respect to x and y axis, then connected the dots. An unusual graph, but works well for this situation, IMO.

Can’t say I’m not glad this happened. 196 was the only community I was banned from (permanently) and thus couldn’t vote or comment on good chunk of top posts.
I have been doing calculus the entire day nonstop in preparation to fail my tomorrow’s test and my brain is totally fried. I came back to see a completely new sub dominating the top and I can’t parse what and why has happened. Can somebody please briefly explain using very small words?
To be fair, I have already failed to properly recycle an item or two, as well.
Why is everybody posting my cat today?!
The only reason I know the contents of most classic literature is because of “So You Haven’t Read” series on YouTube.
0·3 months agoUSB-C doesn’t have speeds, it just a connector type. USB 1, 2, 3-3.2, 4 etc. is the protocol responsible for speed. You can have a USB-C connector with any implementation (except maybe USB 1). It can even do DisplayPort stuff.
So for USB-C to become irrelevant we need to come up with a better connector form factor. Which is unlikely to happen soon. But also, same thing happened with USB-B Micro connector (colloquially called micro USB), it was designated as a standard (but Apple managed to get an exemption) and manufacturers had no issues moving to a better connector, which is USB-C.
Oh, I know this guy. He used to be a presenter on that science channel on YouTube like 10 years ago. Forgot the name of the channel, but the other hosts were Laci Green and Trace Dominguez.
Edit: The channel was called DNews, now renamed to Seeker.
