Still is.

YotaPhone? Looks like the went bankrupt in 2019, unfortunately. I was always intrigued by them.

Hisense A6 came out with that idea too not superlong ago

Not only are they already the entry level of the market in Australia, but they are quickly dominating it. 5 years ago, you'd only see (a handful of) Tesla's, but they're quickly becoming outnumbered by BYD and friends.

Awesome visualisation, and great write-up. On mobile (in portrait), a lot of longer titles get culled as their origin scrolls off, with half of it still off the other side of the screen - wonder if it'd be worth keeping on rendering them until the entire text field is off screen (especially since you've already got a bounding box for them).

I have thought about doing a similar setup for an in-home dashboard with HA and possible some other widgets, but would really like a larger option. Even a Kindle DX would be better, but getting one of those is still several hundred aud. Are there larger consumer-accessible e-ink displays, or is that kinda it?

That sales number would likely be the value of goods bought through the platform, not total revenue

I may be reading this wrong, but I thought he meant as spare resources for once we do get to Mars, not as extra fuel for the rocket itself.

That is exactly what I meant

Don't do that, you'll mush the shrimp
