I’ve cut back on tea for the past week. I’m often tired, but I’m coping better with sound. In a lot of pain for some reason today, so having a 2nd cup already and expect to have 3 today, but I’ll go back to 2 cups tomorrow.

2 long errands today and the migraine is hitting especially hard tonight.

It’d be very expensive, but I’m considering a Dasung Paperlike computer monitor.

They currently make a 13" e-ink version for about $1,000. Owing to the size, and the lack of color, it couldn’t completely replace a conventional monitor, but it might help read papers, books, etc. And reduce the migraine risks from conventional screens.

Any idea how to mock up how practical or impractical, and helpful or unhelpful it may be?

P.S. I only have 1 hdmi port to work with, so I can’t use 1 for a regular monitor and 1 for an auxiliary monitor like they recommend. I would need to use a pure usb option.

I might be able to convert a HAT kit into a usable usb monitor.

P.P.S. I can use a usb-c to hdmi adapter.

A lot cheaper, I’m wondering if the Inkplate 10 could work as a monitor…

Or expensive but not as expensive, there’s a Waveshare model:

Thanks for those links.

The waveshare is more plug and play, but that ink plate has some great possibilities.

It’s not intended for anything requiring rapid refresh. It may be useful otherwise.

Actually, at 0.62 seconds for partial refresh, that should keep flashing out of the danger zone. It’s impossible to avoid all flashing on e-ink but avoiding fast flashing should leave it better for a lot of things than conventional monitors.

Sporadically (2 or 3 times a year) I have a flurry of activity where I and reconfiguring these Android barcode scanners.

The easiest way to program them is with special 2d barcodes that the configuration software spits out.

Printing out sheets to scan while testing the configurations is wasteful and scanning off a regular LCD screen is around a 20% success rate.

But eink typically will scan just like paper.

Has anyone here used anti-glare screens? Might be a much easier way to deal with the glare/reflection problem.

I feel like this country is still sliding towards civil war.

Particularly with the Trumpists defending police violence, demonizing and sometimes criminalizing other minority groups besides themselves and their base, and pushing so many mutually-inconsistent falsehoods about the election. And with gerrymandering, the senate, the electoral college, the court-packing, etc. giving them an edge. I had hoped that if HR 1 got through it could at least slow this down because, frankly, while reforms are not enough they’re a hell of a lot better than civil war.

Maybe I should switch to Linux or Windows, since Apple is so keen on Temporal Dithering.

But I would have to give up a lot of my apps, scripts, etc. and I don’t know what new accessibility fixes I’d need.

Maybe I could find an external graphics card, such as a usb-to-hdmi adapter, which doesn’t dither.

Same.

Sorry, but we’re already there, culturally. As for physical battle…we’re getting there. I wish someone would invade us and force their ways upon us…like the BeNeLux countries. Or Greenland. Or New Zealand. sigh.

When people complain that respect for trans people is a police state, and allowing non-binary pronouns is censorship…
