      Yeah, licensing fees are super high. Who knows what kind of battery life and displays we might have on our personal devices today if eink wasn’t so encumbered.

        It’s fucking crazy cause my city just put e-ink displays on bus stops and I thought it was because they were going cheap, I guess not, though.

          Because e ink is basically perfect for bus stops. You don’t need to update more than once a minute or two and it uses basically no power for running 24/7.
