   @manfromhuh amolith bought a pine note. i dunno anyone else who used it. and without special software i dunno what you do with it.
   
   every note tablet has to write their own drawing software. (i'd love a competently made foss one, but alas)

     @icedquinn Thank you for the insight. Guess I'll keep looking for a notebook.
     The real shame is an open source watch would be really cool. But I have enough things to keep charged. :02_shrug:

     @manfromhuh i don't really understand how ex. clockwork still can't manage fulfillment after several years of being in business. if the problem was high demand, well, manufacturers actually like bigger bulk orders. people should not be waiting years and getting random allotments from small batches. there should be big orders going through, maybe some kind of waitlist notification where its inevitable (maybe the factory IS running at max production idk)
     
     pine similarly tend to be assclowns. you will eventully get your pine, but they sell literally everything as "for devs" meaning they don't ever finish any product and just hawk hardware for hardware hackers. (they also drop ship or something, because fulfillment is slow a fuck.) they also seem to struggle to ever get things back in stock.
     
     maybe hardware is like super hard but feels like they just literally aren't trying actually

     @manfromhuh they were selling uconsoles with "90 days lead time" and after a solid year i cancelled the order and put the money to a supernote.
     
     i actually got the supernote in about 4 days.

     @icedquinn What makes you say that? I'm curious as I've considered but haven't ever bought anything from them.

     @manfromhuh pine and clockwork aren't really serious institutions

     @icedquinn It is a shame as I really like the format. Pine seemed like they were trying to make a go with something like that, but I don't know if that went anywhere.
