1 year agoI got a remarkable way back in grad school when it was the only real option for full size reader that could handle PDFs so I could use it to read and annotate scientific papers which don’t handle conversion well. Now there’s a bunch of products that can do it. But for the remarkable 1 at least, you upload books into the remarkable app and it’ll auto download onto the device over wifi, so no need to plug it in. However, everything goes through the remarkable server so defeats the underlying principles of self hosting lol
Pretty common but not much of a privacy violation. Most addresses are pretty public. If you’ve ever used one of those investigation websites you’d see how many different places the name and address get linked - only way to possibly keep your name not associated with your address is to never use the address for any correspondence, packages, or even shit like school applications, drivers license record, etc. Instead use a PO Box, a friend, or a forwarder. Even then it won’t stop someone like a landlord from putting your name associated with the address somewhere where someone can find it. And if you buy, you basically need a LLC run by a lawyer as the owner of record to avoid having your name associated with the address.
