“Iela” means “street” in Latvian, so yeah.

Speaking of, my favorite street in Riga is Lielā iela. If for nothing else, then just for how that name sounds. But also “lielā” (feminine of “liels”) means “big”, but Lielā iela (“Big Street”) is tiny, just one car wide (for the most part) and is barely even visible on the map.

That’s how Google always worked, btw. But there is one obvious benefit to showing the original URL before you click it, you can hover it to see where the link actually leads before they hijack the click.

Uses Too Many Big Words

How can one be chronologically disappointed? Did you mean “chronically”?

So she wants to go to jail if she wakes up with a headache?

I have 1GB/m and rarely use half of it. I just don’t watch YT when I’m outside. And it’s plenty for looking at beans on Lemmy.

I love both of the hosts. Wish they just switched to something else instead of canceling completely. Could’ve done regular science news.

It was obviously sarcasm with that 100ths precision rating.

iDreams (Infinite Dreams) didn’t make the cut? I love their Sky Force games.

I’m not criticizing the screens, they are ok and I loved my Pebble Time Steel until the battery swelled and popped off the screen. I’m just saying that calling these e-paper is a deceptive marketing strategy.

From the Verge article:

The first watch that Migicovsky and Core plan to ship is called the Core 2 Duo (not to be confused with the old Intel processor), which Migicovsky says will cost $149 and will ship in July. […] It has the exact same black-and-white e-paper display as the old Pebble 2 (technically a transflective LCD, if you’re curious)

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:

• Pebble
• Pebble Time

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.

What’s with the egg covering the PS logo?

I tried. But got:

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