- FlyingSnake - 1079 sekunder sedanGreat article. Hacking old kindles is fun! I encourage everyone to give it a try. The retro feel of eink makes it special for me.
I wrote about my experience in cross compiling zig on an old kindle some time ago.
- sandreas - 3727 sekunder sedanThis is cool, thanks for sharing. I recently compiled Rust / Slint on a LicheeRV Nano, which is RISC-V 64bit musl[1]. It's a little portable audio player I'm working on, the compile process is done via custom Cross docker image.
Currently I'm evaluating Battery Pal[2], because the TP4057 Module was not stable enough to power USB-C to 3.5mm Adapters reliably. So far it seems to work as expected.
- hardwaresofton - 3561 sekunder sedanThis is awesome! How reliable are kindle jailbreaks/avoiding updates, etc?
Have opted for other devices like the xteink (or a boox in the future) due to what seemed like a relatively small ecosystem around “aftermarket” kindle modifications.
The kindle would be a great option if it could be reliably jailbroken and loaded with custom software
- DoctorOW - 3922 sekunder sedanThis looks cool, and one of the first posts I've seen on HN in a few months where I genuinely wanted to try it.
