too many broken promises by other tech cos, i understand we have to earn your trust

there should be more video reviews coming out on twitter though from early customers / testers

I have both rM and rM2. I reverse engineered the rM refresh API and made an open-source framework out of it. This device looks very interesting and I actually wanted to grab one to play with but the next batch ships so far into the future that I decided to wait.

If you could send me a unit (which I'll of course pay for) on a more accelerated schedule, I'd love to explore the device. Let me know.

Publishing a sped-up video without telling us that it's sped up really killed all my trust I had in you guys. Seriously, what were you thinking? Your main and only selling point is the speed. So much so that that needs to compensate for lack of other features like resolution and color. And then you open the door to cheating accusations? You can now 100x say that it's really fast and no ghosting and all that, but your ethics seem to really believe it was no big deal, so at each turn down the line I'll have to question, perhaps here they also didn't think it's a big deal to pull some dirty trick?

So disappointed. :(

For future reference, if you're going to make a claim like this, seriously include a link. It's unclear what video you're talking about.

Assuming you're talking about the link to a video posted by another commenter further down ( https://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=mikhailt ), that video was posted out of context. There are a lot of other videos on that documentation page which are not sped up. See here: https://daylightco.gorgias.help/en-US#article-493382

The video in question, the video under "ereader on steroids", appears to be sped up, my guess is because the purpose of the video is to summarize the functionality. A "3x" label would be nice, but let's not jump to accusations! That video isn't at all in a context where it seems likely meant to mislead. You can view other videos on that page that are in 1x.

Killed my trust also, "drowning in launch" is no excuse for not rectifying this immediately.

Posting a real-time video right now would take five minutes and clear up all this bad publicity right when they need to.

What do you do with all the time you save on capitals and punctuation?

To answer this question as someone who often writes messages the same way… typing that way isn’t actually much faster, but it’s often more enjoyable. It also helps to convey a more informal and relaxed tone.
