As I mentioned earlier, whether a screen type is considered e-paper is subjective. And in my opinion, reflective LCD isn't a type of e-paper. You may disagree, but it's not "categorically" wrong.

Quote is from Wikipedia. You can see it's the case for both models here:
Besides, I own a Pebble Time watch and can tell you, it doesn't perform like a typical e-paper. It has the bad viewing angles of LCD and screen goes blank when power is lost.
The watch featured a 32-millimetre (1.26 in) 144 × 168 pixel black and white memory LCD using an ultra low-power "transflective LCD"
The problem is that e-paper is a category of displays, and some companies label reflective LCDs as "e-paper". Which is subjective (and I personally heavily disagree with that categorization, cause then LCD clocks and Gameboys have "e-paper" displays, too).
But in the comment I responded to it was said Pebble has "eink" display, which is categorically wrong, as that is a very specific proprietary technology, which is e-paper in traditional sense, like the ones in Kindles.
IIRC, it has a reflective LCD, not epaper display.
Thanks, good to know.
Technically, sideloading is possible already, but you need a developer account, you're limited to 3 sideloaded apps at a time, and you have to renew them every week.
So the more difficult way already exists.
Lemmy, this is the 7th day in a row you've shown "Tesla sales down in Europe" news in Top.
I don't think anybody in Seychelles ever seeds on purpose. Being a remote island (archipelago), the internet prices are insane. Almost nobody has uncapped internet, mostly only business.
Yeah, but that's not very typical, I'd like to make that point.
Loose seal! Loose seal!
