  • Crazy how we could just pass a law outlawing billboards and ads like this. But we don't.
    There are voter initiatives in so many states, but we don't use them for anything fun. Just carrying water for Uber to protect it from its employees or finding new ways to oppress minorities.

  • There's a webnovel that had a whole side plot regarding this. Can't remember the name, but plot was a protagonist was a dwarf that couldn't die. So he just went around wandering and learning stuff and somehow ends up intimidating kings with offhand gestures.
    Relevant part was the side story was the gods of the realm playing Karen's and drive-ins, where they played against the other gods by role playing as Karen's going to school board meetings and intimidating other parents

  • Phones kind of suck for the 'at a glance' function.

    • Widgets take up too much room on the home screen, so you have to swipe over to it to see it.
    • once you're there, you're tempted to dive in to look at emails or tweets or whatever else. There's a whole smartphone detox market that's out there, focusing on dumb phones and escaping attention traps.
    • Not everyone in the house (e.g., kids) should be looking at a phone regularly.
    • I don't have my phone with me when I'm walking back and forth getting ready. A quick glance is faster than a grab, unlock, swipe, read pattern.

    Smart home dashboards also seem like a perfect fit with this. A low power, regular refreshing, touch sensitive controlled? That could hang on a wall with a battery? Sounds great.

  • See, I don't want a tablet. Tablet implies fast refresh rates, minimal ghosting, fast processor, etc.
    It's a different purpose than a screen I can stick on a wall and only look at a few times in the morning. That lower quality on the panel and hardware should bring costs on the tech lower.
    Hell, I don't even really need 8 shades of color.
    If someone can stick a low power processor on there and make it run on some rechargeable AAAs, even better.

  • Someone would make a killing of they created an easy to use home dashboard with an eink display. Low power, 8x11, customizable with Android apps. Refreshes once a minute. Has weather and traffic and calendar in the morning, and displays photos in the afternoon.
    LCDs are terrible in terms of power consumption. But a big, slow eink would be great.

    • It Was Inevitable That the Book Ban Wars Would Reach Book Stores

  • No - there's an inter library loan system so you can order a book and have it show up a bit later for you to check out. But kind of hard to do that if I don't know what I want to read.

  • I mean, ok, but it sucks when the scifi section is one half of an aisle, and each shelf is only half full. I'm sure I could order it and have it show up later but thats inconvenient

  • Libraries by me have plenty of shelves but not enough on the shelves. They wind up selling used books to try to make money for the library.
    It's disappointing to go to a library and not see shelves filled and filled with books

  • There was once a related website called tree hugger. All the articles were about things you could buy with an eco focus of some kind.
    It was neat to see stuff about solar powered radios, but pushing consumerism that much for that purpose misses the point
