I have the Kobo Libra Color and the contrast on the X4 is much much better.

The whole sticking-it-to-the-back-of-your-phone i find a bit useless, but mine came with two metal rings so that I can stick it to other places.

I have one ring on the dashboard of my car so the X4 can hang there until i need to use it. Good for trips with many stops.

One thing that isn’t mentioned in the article is that driver’s education in US is a fucking sad joke, and the driving tests even more so.

Many mention rules about yielding, and having to stop when turning right on red: most of the drivers only know a fraction of the rules. They never learned most of them.

I’m not sure about this, but my understanding is that some states don’t even require a license if you are older.

Virgin Islands

Denmark tried to offhand the islands multiple times.

"The islands were eventually sold to the United States for $25 million ($613,570,000 in 2024) which took over the administration on 31 March 1917 and renamed the territory the United States Virgin Islands."

The controversy is more how it got in the hands of Denmark in the first place.

It also stowed the other items, and know how much space they take up.

From the article:

“When you’re a person doing this task, you’ve got a buffer of 20 or 30 items, and you’re looking for an opportunity to fit those items into different bins, and having to remember which item might go into which space. But the robot knows all of the properties of all of our items at once, and we can also look at all of the bins at the same time along with the bins in the next couple of pods that are coming up. So we can do this optimization over the whole set of information in 100 milliseconds.”

It's clear as in "if you know the rule you can count on it" but there is no discoverability within the tool itself. It will even say if a file has been uploaded into the chat already, giving you an impression that the file is in the chat - while it really is in your own onedrive.

I only discovered it by chance while roaming my onedrive directory.

The future is not evenly distributed. The only thing I have signed by hand in the last 4 years are package deliveries.
