Sigh. ReMarkable.

It's just remarkable how they keep shooting themselves in the foot. Their hardware is great, but their software just sucks. And for no real reason, as far as I can understand. They technically do have a cloud subscription that needs to lock out users, I guess?

For example, they don't have handwriting recognition for non-Latin languages. They don't even have on-screen _keyboards_ for non-Latin languages. Their note-taker sucks. Their "remote whiteboard" feature doesn't work reliably. Etc.

Just open source it all, and allow people to fix it. It's clear that your in-house developers can't do that.

I've got a reMarkable 2 whose USB-C port just decided to break one day. Tearing the unit down, I see the USB connector puts all of its strain on some very tiny pads. The pads were torn off. Apparently this is a common problem.

Based on this, I don't think their hardware is great, either.

Yeah, that's a known problem The solution is to get one of those usb-c to qi adapters, keep it always plugged in, and use a qi charger to recharge. This minimizes insertion cycles and stress on the connector.

I repeat myself: I don't think the hardware is great.
