Comment Re:Sure, why not (Score 1) 30

I have a Kobo Clara too and I love it, despite the lack of physical buttons. However, I finally caved and bought the remote and I'm surprised by how much it improves the experience. I stand the Kobo up and can read while I eat breakfast or supper and not worry about getting food on the e-reader.

I want nothing to do with Amazon, so a Kindle for me is out of the question.

Aesthetics also have value too.

The endless yellow glow of sodium lighting is, at least in my view, miserable to look at. I'd much rather have a the occasional pool of a bright white light. This isn't practical for central city districts, but perfectly fine for leafy suburbs.

Directionality is relevant too: a bright white light outside my garage to guide my car home only needs to be a tightly directed downward pointing spot with coverage no bigger than my own driveway. That's less light pollution than the tall yellow sodium lamp-post that would make my own individual garage light unnecessary.

When I buy bananas, I don't peel them until I'm ready to eat them. And when I do peel a banana, I eat it in one sitting.

If they're a little bit brown, it's no big deal... they're still fine for eating. And if they're very brown and mushy, they're still usable for making banana bread. I don't understand the phobia against a little bit of browning.

They give less warranty about how the curve looks than e.g. this company for traditional panels, but other than that it seems pretty comparable.

civil liability is ample remedy

No, it's not. Any civil remedy would be negotiated down until OpenAI could write it off as a cost of doing business.

Making Altman travel to Australia and undergo a trial, even if he's only sent to jail for 30 days if convicted, would be far more clarifying to the mind.
