A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

I don't have any "smart" stuff in my home (other than phones). I suspect I'd feel differently about this thing if I did.

I was in the market for a tablet during the pandemic and was very frustrated with the options. I needed something we could use on an exercise bike and switch between users easily. We were looking at one of the Galaxy models that was $900 and I think we decided it just wasn't worth it for a glorified tv that doesn't do half the things we wanted. So this is $400 cheaper and does literally everything we want it to. I also don't have smart devices, but I'm stoked just to have an android tablet that isn't overly complicated.
