Since the last major jailbreak for Kindle devices was released, I've been using Koreader as well on my Scribe. I have progress syncing setup with Hardcover (Goodreads alternative) instead, however. Only downside is their recommendations don't seem to be well geared to my interests at this point, but hopefully that'll change in the future as more use the service.


I was genuinely hoping that this would extend back to at least the 10 series. I'm still daily driving my S10+ that I got when it first came out with no major issues other than the eventual lack of updates. Battery life is still great, very minimal wear and tear. Only real complaint I have at this point is that, post TMobile-Sprint merger, signal strength is rather odd at work now.


I was hoping it would come to the S23 at least but also no :'(


Yep, same boat. I didn't realize the S10 went out of support last year. Other than the battery having less charge, it works well. Wonder how much longer it is safe to use?


Yeah, I've read the same book multiple times before, years apart, without realizing it. Only when I went back to Goodreads later to mark it as read did I realize that... well, I had already read it.

On the flip side, I can enjoy a book more than once. This is a definite plus.


I'm all for historically low housing prices, but as for the rest... I'm not sure we should invoke any sort of Black Mirror-esque scenario on the world. Reality is already dark, grim, and eerie enough as is.


"Waves of terror sweep the nation as rogue AI...."


Volume control is a must. I had my headphones on, at normal volume, and... let's just say I didn't realize just how loud it would be.

Other than that, however, this seems neat. I've been trying to listen to new music lately, so this'll definitely come in handy.


If we, as a species, only learned from our own personal experiences, we'd still be dwelling in caves.


Literally stood outside the DMV the other day for more than hour in sub-40F weather to get my real id.


The same is true for some other primates. Eye contact seems to be a sign of aggression:

This is a pretty good point too.

It's interesting that millions of people will probably read stuff about "eye contact = trust/attention", when in fact this is a complex topic.

Reminds me of the pseudoscience on how "touching your face or nose is a sign of deceit". Turns out almost everyone is no better than chance at spotting deceit. But judges, cops, school teachers etc... have all been relying on this kind rule to change the course of other people's lives.


Visualize the text, "welcome to my Ted talk."


I mean, they quote Ian Carnelli in the article, saying that he expects a "much bigger deflection than (he) had planned". That said, the article also mentions that it will take Earth-bound telescopes/radars at least a week to get initial estimates in regard to the change of the asteroid's orbit, and then three to four weeks before getting precise measurements.

I think the real takeaway here is just that something unexpected happen. They're monitoring as they would have regardless, and results will come in time. Expecting results and/or a conclusion this early is, well, jumping the gun.
