I really like those with eink displays and a pared down android. It's a great compromise. There are several european brands. Of course you still need a smartphone for banking and so on.

Oh man the BBC is surely already preparing for Adolescence: rise of the robots

Yeah every time I see this chart I think "unless it's performance critical, realtime, or embedded, why would I use anything else?" It's very flexible, a joy to use, amazing interactive shell(s). Paren navigation is awesome. The build/tooling is not the best, but it is manageable.

That said, OCaml is nice too.

Reportedly they are already attacking Kherson and elsewhere.

A few bulgarian producers have become quite popular. Not sure if they ship internationally.

Everyone has their opinions and circumstances, but anecdotally my time with children has been some of the happiest.

With Gitea/Forgejo you can run a local actions executor, which builds the images, pushes to gitea's image registry, and using a script pulls them on the other side and restarts them. Worked fine in our small startup.

+1 for Pocketbook

Never had any issues with it whatsoever.

The device works great with Calibre.

There is some other functionality that I did not use.

Should mention Open Sound Control which is also pretty good. Not exactly a competitor, it was supposed to provide a richer, real time interface. Still popular for certain use cases, including beyond music.

Still, if legal, one would "boil" (not sure what the term is for oil soluble?) a kilo with no issue.

The older is 9, found it challenging in the beginning, but caught on. Younger is 5, definitely not into Pandemic.

Speaking of snakes and ladders, we had a very fun project of making our own. Basically I stole the positions of snakes and ladders from another board, but we drew and painted all of it on thick cardboard. Small enough and really fun project. You can customize to your fancy.

Funny that you mention Pandemic, we finally got around to playing it with the kids, and it was great. They are just entering the age where they get it.

So far only played the simplified rules, none of the Legacy parts, and beat the game for the first time.
