The article itself mentions E Ink's Kaleido 3 technology. I'm not really sure on the semantics of "e-ink" vs "e-paper", but your take sounds good enough to me. I do know that E Ink makes a product internally (maybe also externally? idk) refered to as "ACeP", which stands for "Advanced Color e-Paper", so e-ink definitely classifies as a type of e-paper.

One of their older color products is a traditional B/W screen with an RGB filter over the top. The problem with this is the filter tends to make everything way darker and muted than it should be.
They are also working on newer ACeP screens that use multiple colored dye and pigment particles in the same capsule. By swapping the colors around with specific electric waveforms, they can control what the color looks like from the front. The downside is that this color swapping often takes several seconds to produce the correct color ((also the color gamut has a lot of holes))
Hi! Former E Ink employee here. The technology behind color e ink displays is an intricate nightmare of juggling different ink particles through a gel medium (which is actually derived from pig fat btw). It's a miracle it even works in the first place, and unfortunately higher color accuracy comes at the cost of refresh rate due to all the steps involved. Not sure how in-depth I can go without violating my NDA though lol.
While the color tech is advancing, it's still got a long way to go.
That's not a logo either; It's a photograph

That's part of it yes. Also gravity is proportional to mass, so smaller things will experience less force due to gravity. Everything will still fall with the same acceleration (9.8 m/s^2 on earth) ((ignoring air resistance)), but the impact from hitting the ground will be a lot easier to handle for small creatures. For example, an ant can survive a fall from pretty much any height, while an elephant can't even fall a few feet without getting hurt.
Fun fact: Once you get to a small enough scale, it's safe to just ignore gravity altogether, since it's so much weaker than other forces like electromagnetism.
Most spiders can go a long time without eating, and most are too small to be killed from falling to the ground
I like to shake the bytes around a little
i = ( i << 1 + 2 ) >> 1
Yeah preferring ssh is very understandable. I mostly prefer LocalSend because it has an iOS app that comes in very handy from time to time (though that's not relevant here)
LocalSend is a very convenient cross-platform file-sharing app. It's in the steam deck's discovery store. Would recommend it over any usb drives or ssh.
Recently finished a BS in Physics because I enjoy learning about math with funny letters. Have had trouble finding work due to social anxiety (can't pull 40+ hour work weeks without WFH) and not wanting to work for the military industrial complex.
Found an easy job that I hated (just turning a small cog for a big corporation), but got laid off a couple months ago. I've kinda given up on everything at this point :(
I really want to work somewhere like a library or a zoo, but none of those ever seem to be hiring.

"Open Compute" being trademarked is pretty ironic
