Technology
News community around technology, social media platforms, information technology and governmental policy surrounding it.
What doesn't fit here?
The core of the story has to be technology focused.
- If article mentions "AI" in a sentence and then talks about business economics that doesn't make it tech news.
- Gaming is too many layers removed from technology. There are many dedicated communities that are a better fit for it.
- Transporation is too many layers removed from technology. EVs while use many cool technologies have many dedicated communities that are a better fit for it.
- Entertainment is too many layers removed from technology. While sometimes it can fit here, business or cultural aspects of it are a better fit for dedicated communities.
- Cybersecurity. While it heavily focuses on technology, most of the time it's too technical for most people who are not already invested in it. Should be posted in a dedicated communities unless it has broader connection to other tech areas.
Post guidelines
Title format
Post title should mirror the news source title. If you don't like the title of article, look for an alternative source instead of editorializing it.
URL format
Post URL should be the original link to the article (even if paywalled) and archived copies left in the body. It allows avoiding duplicate posts when cross-posting.
[Opinion] prefix
Opinion (op-ed) articles must use [Opinion] prefix before the title. Opinion articles refer to articles that their publisher doesn't explictly endorse.
Country prefix
Country prefix can be added to the title with a separator (|, :, etc.) if the news is from a local publisher who doesn't clearly mention the country.
Rules
1. English only
Title and associated content has to be in English.
2. Use original link
Post URL should be the original link to the article (even if paywalled) and archived copies left in the body. It allows avoiding duplicate posts when cross-posting.
3. Respectful communication
All communication has to be respectful of differing opinions, viewpoints, and experiences.
4. Inclusivity
Everyone is welcome here regardless of age, body size, visible or invisible disability, ethnicity, sex characteristics, gender identity and expression, education, socio-economic status, nationality, personal appearance, race, caste, color, religion, or sexual identity and orientation.

With the Likebook Mars I got used to charging it often. I was exepecting the same with the Boox, but it has suprised me in a good way.
It came configured to power off within a couple hours when unused. Which is one solution. If you only read every few days, setting it to turn off when unused does ensure it will have juice to spare the next time you pick it up, though you'll have to wait about a minute to actually be reading again.
To avoid booting it all the time, I currently have it set to power off after 2 days of inactivity. Which is essentially never, unless I take a weeklong pause in reading.
This has meant I'm plugging it in once a week or so. Still more often than the month my Kobo used to last, but not bad at all. I can still empty it in one day if spend all day reading with the frontlight on, but that's true for any reader.
If I queue up a bunch of manga downloads, it can drain from fully charged to empty in about 2 hours.
When it does go unused, power off within two days means it only wastes about 10% of the battery sleeping before powering off entirely. (That translates to about 5% per day when sleeping, that's with network off during sleep and all apps suspended). Meaning I've not had to charge it when I go to use it after a longer break.
I don't use koreader myself, but it's on f-droid and hence extremely easy to install on the Boox.
