I currently have the remarkable V1 and have used it "extensively" (211 pages in 19 notebooks, plus 10 books like PHB 5e, CISSP guide book, and various other nerd things and white papers). I am super happy with the product as it solved my use case of wanting to keep my notes handwritten yet on my person without having to carry around multiple notebooks. I also love the fact that I can have a notebook that goes from us legal lined paper background to large grid background, and back multiple times.

It's PDF capabilities are fine, and you can write on the pages which is nice, but I've not really tried to access any of these notes outside of the device. The did roll their own cloud sync capabilities though so you can use their apps on devices for that. There's also the 3rd party options that exist for that too.

As mentioned by jagraff they expose ssh and allow you to login as root. The whole device is a linux machine so if you want to setup syncthing to run on it you can[1]. If you want something else like zotero, or google drive, I suggest checking their wiki[2] and the github repos[3] dedicated to curating some of the stuff written for it

TLDR; Super happy with remarkable v1. So happy pre ordered V2. It gives you root on a linux box.

Not the grandparent, from what I've found is there's a lot written for the tablet since it is a Linux device that gives the user root access.

Some examples of the open source stuff can be found on github [1] and their wiki[2].

That's pretty cool and that it was really locked down was my only concern about it. Happy to see it seems relatively open, so just placed a pre-order. Thanks!


While you joke, I actually used that method on a modified clipboard to hold mine in a zip up folio. I'm super happy with the way it is positioned now because I have it held in place with a clipboard. https://imgur.com/a/thrkIww


At one point in time I believe there was also a discussion on why somebody was removing it from their site. I'm having a hard time finding it currently and remember it being for excessive contacts from people using automated tools to scan their site.

Edit: Found it, https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19152145


there is a draft (from November 27, 2019) that makes the presence of a disclosure policy (using security.txt) mandatory on gov domains:

"Binding Operational Directive 20-01 Develop and Publish a Vulnerability Disclosure Policy" https://cyber.dhs.gov/bod/20-01/

> Create a security.txt15 file at the “/.well-known/” path16 of the agency’s primary .gov domain. This file must include the Policy and Contact fields, as specified in the Internet-Draft.17


While the bosses move in broad and uninterested patterns, I've found that Jet Island is a game that features very large entities which make great use of the scale vr allows.
