  • Hacker News
  • I have the cardputer adv , stackchan a ai pyramid. Pyramid is a paperweight, the stack chan works OK sometimes. Not current 1.5 sometimes the is voice crackly and cuts out. Cardputer functions as marketed. I waiting for the cardputer zero to play with flipper and hack rf. Fingers crossed most likely my last purchase from them.
  • This announcement is from a few days ago. And it seems everywhere is out-of-stock. Any news about potential availability? (In the US ideally.)
  • I was just thinking that I could port rePalm to it. But for now I only support arm mips Riscv and aarch64. I guess maybe time for an LX7 port
  • I have the older Paper-S3, which has better specs (larger screen and battery, 16-level grayscale) and also has a Crosspoint Reader port. Nice device, clearer screen than my Pocketbook Verse.
  • This is competition for the new XTEINK X4 Pro. Cost about half the price and is compatible with Crosspoint too.
  • For the same ~ $55 as their lite model you get some other options:

    slightly larger screen, plus a microphone and speaker: https://www.cnx-software.com/2026/08/05/zectrix-note-4-a-4-2...

    same screen size with microphone and speaker, plus a magnetic fridge mount: https://www.cnx-software.com/2026/07/31/reterminal-sticky-3-...

    I'd actually love something like the reTerminal sticky, but larger, for a fridge mounted home automation dashboard / calendar.

  • I wouldn't anticipate too much from m5stack. They have a habit of developing products that are well designed from a physical standpoint... but when you try to develop with them one finds that the software and support needed to achieve your goals are half-baked and downright annoying. UIFlow1/2, I'm looking at you...

    For reference, see the M5dinmeter
