#xteinkx4 — Public Fediverse posts

Ich verlasse mich ja eigentlich nie auf mitgelieferte no-name SD-Karten und kaufe mir lieber direkt was Vernünftiges.

Außer bei meine xteink x4. Da dachte ich mir, "Ja komm. Die SD-Karte ist schon drin und ich will nur damit lesen, das wird schon passen."
Leider hat die SD-Karte dann doch am Sonntag den Geist aufgegeben und hat damit insgesamt 3 Monate oder so gehalten. Glücklicherweise wusste ich noch wo ich im Buch war, aber schon etwas nervig.

Holt euch besser direkt vernünftige SD-Karten.

It begins.

Also this little e-reader is my 2026 device of the year. Easy. It's SO much easier to carry and pocket than a kindle or reading on my phone when there's a million different things to distract me.

Del experimento de hace un par de semanas de meterle #trmnl a mi #xteinkx4, pues por temas de conectividad al final no ha funcionado muy bien así que vuelvo al firmware #crosspoint a ver si le doy caña como lector de libros otra vez.

Lilbits: Ploopy’s A+ trackball has eight buttons (two are also dials), Xteink X4 discontinued, and more

A company with a funny name has made some of the most interesting computer input devices of recent years. Ploopy got its start with trackballs, at a time when bigger companies were exiting the space. Since then, the company has made trackpads, pointing sticks, and dials.

Now the company is bringing some of those gadgets together with the new Ploopy A+. It’s a trackball mouse with eight […]

The news that the Xteink X4 is officially getting discontinued and is now end-of-life makes me really glad that I bought one recently. I suspected that this might happen and partly made the decision to buy now instead of waiting a bit more.

Eldest is enjoying their early 10th Birthday Present - an #xteinkX4 #eReader with case, already devoured Alice in Wonderland, Through the Looking Glass, & Anne of Green Gables (all from https://standardebooks.org/ebooks/e-e-smith/first-lensman in English).

My challenge now is to find the Japanese translation #eBook of the later by Muraoka Hanako, and/or the novel “An no Yurikago Muraoka Hanako no Shogai” by Eri Muraoka about her grandmother the translator’s life - used for the NHK drama “Hanako to Anne”https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hanako_to_Anne

We'll try something from https://standardebooks.org/ebooks next given the slightly hit-and-miss rendering from #ProjectGutenberg on the #xteinkX4 #eReader - again out of copyright public domain classics.

Update: Much better, same novel but all the pictures work and no weird table layout snippets 🥳

Good news, the #xteinkX4 #eReader can show some of the pictures from #ProjectGutenberg nicely…

Second #xteinkX4 #eReader challenge looks like working out which public domain e-books' formatting suits this little device best.

For example, #ProjectGutenberg's Alice In Wonderland https://www.gutenberg.org/cache/epub/28885/pg28885-images.html starts with a bunch of images and tables which don't show at all well.

The actual text starts with an almost black square image (meant to be a calligraphic letter A) and the "LICE was beginning to get tired of sitting by her sister on the bank, ..."

Update: Added comparison.

First real challenge with the #xteinkX4 #eReader solved with this TikTok video - how to remove the SD memory card: https://www.tiktok.com/@drcrazyde/video/7609354967639510294

It is a push to pop thing, and the lid of the supplied USB-A adapter works great.

@solsetur Right then, the tiny #xteinkX4 #eReader has arrived. Do I start with trying to put the original #crosspoint alternative firmware on it https://github.com/crosspoint-reader/crosspoint-reader - or https://github.com/aBER0724/crosspoint-reader-cjk for the better Japanese support...

On this show, I play a song from Brooke Eden; having the full blog publishing loop working makes me want to publish more posts; dynamic podcast ads are becoming so bad and so plentiful that I am motivated to remove them; all ad removers use LLMs; I am so angry at the LLM companies for poisoning a useful technology with their financial scams; Democrats love to sign me up to mailing lists against my will; I used fake initials to figure out which magazine sold me out to junk mailers; I love Ruby on Rails as a web development tool but I hate David Heinemeier Hansson; Marc Andreesen is the dickhead whose name I blanked on; my people have been in America for centuries and I have no problem with immigrants; it is a Sisyphean task to try to keep evil companies and people out of your life and toolchain; some cliches of TV and movies have gotten on my last nerve; did you just say the title of the show? the detective always figures things out 3 seconds before the bomb explodes; I have made my bed on the YouTube algorithm and now I must lie in it; The Hack-A-Day podcast is my new place to find projects to expand my horizons; please suggest starter electronics projects for me!
