And the day that things falls on you…
At least add some security straps/tethers that anchor to the A frame.

Most tv mounts either bolt directly to the TV or have a crossbar lock to keep if from coming off the rails if it is that style

Yeah, true, but most that I have come across specifically state to not mount onto the ceiling. Maybe for liability reason, But I have seen some designs that rely on gravity in order to function.

Use common sense. But yeah, I imagine it is mostly a liability thing to keep dumbasses from suing.

I’ve been using a eink android tablet. Reading manga and books is better than using a phone/tablet. I demoed it here. I probably should write a review at some point
In bed, I hold my tablet with the same arm I lean on, sometimes I use a pillow to lean on. At a previous place, I sat upright and read on my futon.
I don’t disagree, sometimes space is limited and you only have a sibgle room to use as your home office, lounge, and sleeping area. Having multiple desks distanced appropriately for work + personal pc and a futon for lounging around really helped my brain section off my old bedroom. For reference here’s my old setup
@polyesterbebe I vaguely remember searching this but for a desk
A vesa arm with a tablet socket might be sturdier

Based. They are starting to come out with the Karta 2.0 color eInk. I am waiting on high resolution color eInk notepads before I bite the bullet. I plan to replace my paper notebooks with eInk and save some trees.

Usually I play stuff on my PC and my 32" monitor is doing the rest easy…
I use my phone as well sometimes…

Yeah, it’s a very slow and niche market (at least for android eink tablets).
I heard that color tech sacrifices on resolution. At least when I was buying my BOOX onyx.
IIRC I learned from technology connections that the refresh rate isn’t a limitation of eink displays, but rather a limitation of the processors.
This makes sense as most eink tablets use a cheap low power processor since you’re reading books you don’t need a high refresh
On a other note, I just realized I found technology connections because of his coverage of eink tablets

I like to sleep watching videos from Dan Bell’s Dead Mall series. Don’t ask. Those empty places, muffled vaporwave music and his calm narration makes me fall asleep quick.

I try not to do it, but if I do I just put on my TWS earbuds, put the phone face down on my night stand and listen to something. Sometimes I listen to videos aswell, if I gauge that from the title they’re not gonna need much in the way of watching.

A based channel. I love his dry approach. It is so campy. I have been watching him since the beginning. Who knew mundane things could be so damn interesting.
They do in color mode, but the Karta can fall back to B/W and give back the missing resolution. Basically in B/W mode they tend to be 600dpi but in color they range from 300 - 320dpi. There is a new eInk based on a slurry technique that can be promising but so far the execution has been mostly software issues. If you look at the Good eReader channel, they cover everything new and in the works.
They are so far the hands down best implementation of color and eReaders and Note takers. I like the Sony and Fujitsu offerings from a pure note taker because they are the most polished but they require a PC to use software to get things on and off of them. I use GNU/Linux so anything that ties me to a PC (especially MS Windows and MacOS) is a hard pass. “Do you guys not have phones…”
