They’re expensive but not really overpriced. Boox tablets are essentially Android tablets with highly specialized screens.

Eink screens (particularly high refresh rate screens, like what you’re looking for) are still a relatively new tech and don’t have the cost benefits of more matured technology like LED/LCD. The cheap eink screens you see have very slow refresh rates and don’t offer the same pixel density, with harsher gradients.

I’d reccomend getting one used, or waiting for a seasonal sale. I’ve had one for a while and I love it.

Really big laser - meant for cutting through thick steel, could probably slice most monsters Bond-villain style.

I like this perspective. Wish there were more implementations of a biometric + password combo.

Art should comfort the disturbed and disturb the comfortable.

Hear me out

Iirc, closing an account impacts your credit not because you cancelled your account, but because it impacts your debt/credit ratio.

You have 2 credit cards. Card A has a 10k credit and 2k balance. Card B has 10k credit and 0 balance.

So your ratio is 2k/20k or 10%.

If you cancel card B, your credit line is now 2k/10k, which is 20%. This increases your credit utilization, which impacts your score.

Opening and closing a bunch of cards without any balance shouldn’t have a significant impact on your score, maybe a few points.

Hard inquiries can be bad but most credit cards use soft inquiries nowadays anyway
