On a rare occasion I hit a website that loads just like “boom” and it surprises me.

Why is that? Because now we are used to having to wait for javascript to load, decompress, parse, JIT, transmogrify, rejimble and perform two rinse cycles just to see the opening times for the supermarket.

What about alternative universes? 🤣

Yeugh. This makes me feel sick.

Has anyone tried any of the wacky e-ink readers on aliexpress?

I doubt they’d connect to the amazon ecosystem, but might be ok offline devices.

My partner has a newer one and it can only work offline. I can’t get it to even connect to WiFi any more.
