#koboelipsa2e — Public Fediverse posts

In quite an aggressive bit of annoyance of my (fully functional) @Kobo Elipsa mostly collecting dust due to the #enshitification of the Kobo Firmware (requiring users to be logged in; working around that might put your data at risk of getting wiped at the next firmware update) ...

I took the plunge today and ordered a @pine64eu PineNote. At least that is a device which is properly hackable. Yes, I'm fully aware that the user experience will not be like a fully finished product. But that's perfectly fine - simply because it is hackable.

Simply a massive "F*** ***, #Kobo!" from me.

If there are anyone who really wants a fully working Kobo Elipsa 2E in good condition, reach out and we'll agree on a price for it. I have the original box for it as well. The hardware is great, it's the firmware which is really annoying me and I don't have the patience to hack on a completely new firmware for it.
