As I mentioned earlier, whether a screen type is considered e-paper is subjective. And in my opinion, reflective LCD isn't a type of e-paper. You may disagree, but it's not "categorically" wrong.

Quote is from Wikipedia. You can see it's the case for both models here:

Besides, I own a Pebble Time watch and can tell you, it doesn't perform like a typical e-paper. It has the bad viewing angles of LCD and screen goes blank when power is lost.

The watch featured a 32-millimetre (1.26 in) 144 × 168 pixel black and white memory LCD using an ultra low-power "transflective LCD"

The problem is that e-paper is a category of displays, and some companies label reflective LCDs as "e-paper". Which is subjective (and I personally heavily disagree with that categorization, cause then LCD clocks and Gameboys have "e-paper" displays, too).

But in the comment I responded to it was said Pebble has "eink" display, which is categorically wrong, as that is a very specific proprietary technology, which is e-paper in traditional sense, like the ones in Kindles.

IIRC, it has a reflective LCD, not epaper display.

After some quick research, I tend to agree with you.

Yes, of course, strictly in Minecraft.

Let's be real, we ain't touching grass, let alone take action.

Indeterminate, to be precise.

It's definitely not just a couple of seconds, unless you have a very lightweight OS and only 1 or 2 apps to work with. And no matter how little extra time it takes to cold boot the system, there's still no benefit to doing it that way, so no matter how little that time is, it's still wasted.

As I mentioned, one is free to use their computer however they wish, but it doesn't make it not wasteful to shut it down. If grabbing something to eat was part of my daily routine, I'd grab it beforehand, instead of needlessly going back and forth, wake the computer and use it immediately.
