Wow, it looks like that the #DigitalPaper #eink-device by #Montblanc is not only heavily overpriced but also way worse than almost everything on the market right now:
Good Morning #Canada
Finally, arriving at our our 10th province, Manitoba, and putting this series to rest means no more nightmares. Friendly Manitoba, it says so right on their license plates, also has hundreds of abandoned towns, but today we'll focus on Scarf. Named for William Scarf, not for winter clothing or the more recent term for eating quickly, the settlement began in the 1880s, started to flourish after train service arrived in 1907, and died slowly after train service stopped, with the last residents leaving in the 1980s. But in 2013, the regional mayor decided to sell parcels of land in the ghost town for $10. I wasn't able to find out if this plan to bring Scarf back from the dead was successful, but perhaps the area is cursed. In 2020, a tornado touched down near Scarf, killing two teenagers when their vehicle was swept off the road.

💸 “Earn €1,000 a week. 100% safe. Limited time only!”
It looks tempting. Everyone else seems to be doing it. And the inner voice says: what if it’s real?
That’s exactly how cyber criminals exploit social engineering tactics like curiosity, greed, and FOMO to get us to fall for the bait.
When something sounds too good to be true, pause & breathe. Try box breathing (4–4–4–4) to reset before you click.

Hot take: "AI in everything" belongs to the same trend as using radioactive materials, mercury and arsenic in skin care products instead of reactors, thermometers and chemistry.
Programmers with "mandatory workplace AI" are the new Radium girls.
