Evertop: E-ink IBM XT clone with 100+ hours of battery life (github.com/ericjenott)
Evertop is a portable PC that emulates an IBM XT with an 80186 processor and 1MB RAM. It can run DOS, Minix, and some other old 1980s operating systems. It also runs Windows up to version 3.0. Because it's based on a powerful yet very low power microcontroller, uses an e-ink display, packs two 10,000mAh batteries, and implements extreme power saving measures, it can run for hundreds or even thousands of hours on a single charge.

This is a rewrite of the awesome weather_landscape project. If you're confused what all this here is about, I highly recommend to check out the original project. It has a lot of great imagery describing the encoding principles, too.

TCL's bet on screens that look like paper (ghed.in)
Since 2021, TCL has been investing in an intriguing screen technology called NXTPAPER: an LCD panel that attempts to simulate paper to be less harsh on human eyes. As someone who spends more time than recommended looking at screens, this greatly interests me.
