I have a Hisense HiReader Pro and it's awesome + super usable for actual day to day phone things on wifi, but the cell reception overlaps with a single LTE band in the US that's not really usable around where I live.

I have a HiSense HiReader Pro that I picked up right when it came out. It's absolutely loaded with nonsense + makes zillions of requests to Chinese IPs and it takes ages to figure out how to disable / block it all.

It also only works on a single GSM band in the US (which to be fair, I knew before I bought it), but I was hoping that single band would be usable.

I went back to using a Kindle because the experience is so much better all around. Vaguely intrigued by the new Boox Palma though.

Seems like this is more of a "PostgreSQL distribution with search extensions" than "ParadeDB is an open source ElasticSearch alternative built on Postgres..."

Interesting, sure, but confusing marketing/positioning at a glance

fwiw that's a vehicle with a modified exhaust (and not a particularly fast one to begin with)

Also anecdotally in this group - switched from AT&T yearly prepaid (25$/m or so) to post-paid Verizon because it got worse and worse over the three years I had it. Throttling got significantly worse over time and had a number of support issues with the yearly setup.

> American pickup truck driver never asks his gigantic blacked-out coal-rolling Ford F-150 Raptor

I'd love to know how a gasoline powered F-150 can roll coal.
