Which do you prefer? reMarkable 2 or PineNote? I've been thinking of getting something like those.
I use the reMarkable 2 nearly daily. It's so much thinner and can be tinkered with (you can ssh to it then do whatever you want BUT the interface itself, the read/writing software xochtil is NOT open-source, hence hacks) so I prefer it.
That said the PineNote is quite powerful comparatively, both specs (which don't "feel" like much when you are on eInk anyway, even memory) and connectivity (e.g Bluetooth simply opening up a world of accessories) so it's cool to tinker.
What usage do you have in mind? Could help to differentiate both. Also FWIW I don't think the PineNote is in stock.
I’m curious if it’s possible to connect either of these devices to hdmi?
Not HDMI but you can do screen sharing wirelessly, e.g https://github.com/reHackable/awesome-reMarkable?tab=readme-ov-file#screen-sharingstreaming
Cool thanks! I don’t think those options would work. The school I work at has a very strict firewall so I doubt ssh or vnc would work on our network.
Well you can bring your laptop, plug it on HDMI then ssh to the device, I've done that in the past.
Yeah I don’t think our firewall would allow even that. Connections not on port 80 are blocked on almost all devices.
If it's your laptop then you don't have to care about the firewall, your laptop can be the access point and connect to the reMarkable.
Yo, thanks for the info!
