The device in the article is not compatible with Visionect, but Visionect does offer digital signage devices (with even 13", 32" or even 42" e-ink displays). The prices of these devices are a bit premium but you get what you pay for.
Couldn't mastodon just provide an option to logging in via OpenID? Then you would have a single authentication for multiple mastodon instances with different topics.
I'm a lead that's an introvert as well. I've figured out what really drains me are any meetings that I'm not in charge of (or haven't initiated the meeting). It probably has something to do with self-confidence and I will speak rarely or if I'm called upon.
Also for me it's hard to be energetic at the start of the day when meetings slowly appear on the daily agenda. The more I speak, the more confidence I get. But this is only in the case with a meet with many participants. I have no problems with 1:1 meetings.
Question for you - are meetings others initiate/are in charge of, but which nevertheless serve a clear point that necessitates your presence as draining?
Because that's the differentiator for me. If I have a goal I'm trying to achieve there, and the meeting is focused on that goal, it doesn't matter if I'm just a participant or not. If their isn't a clear goal, or I'm expected to be there despite not being involved in that goal (if it's an informational meeting I don't care about the information; if it's a decisional meeting I don't care or can't influence the decision; if it's a brainstorming meeting it's about something that doesn't affect me or a problem I'm not responsible to solve), it's massively draining.
Not really. 2 crucial differences: first, it’s the degree of the scale (I, ii, III…) that’s given a colour rather than the note name (C, D, E…), meaning the colouring is independent of the key (or octave) it is written in or transposed into. Secondly, the colours used are designed to be similar where their harmonic ‘meaning’ is similar (according to traditional Western music) and vice versa.
The current solution offers a management interface for a fleet of such devices with different content and "renderers" and power and activity statistics and charts and an HTTP API interface.
The Visionect Server is able to automatically pre-optimize the images before they're rendered on the device display (e.g. grayscaling, contrast correction).
Yes, because the device is "dumb", it can achieve long battery autonomy. For example, our Joan products can work up to 6 months on battery without recharging.
There is a product, called Joan Home that is meant for home use and can display a single Google calendar https://getjoan.com/shop/joan-home/. If you share the calendar, it can be perfect to show family events.
