I have a Clara 2E. It was some time ago, so I cannot remember all the fine details, but I couldn't get mine to start without some internet connection. I gave a throwaway email and allowed it to update before I switched off WiFi and could freely move books with Calibre.

To it's credit, in 3 years since purchase it has not asked for internet since switching it on the first time.

This image is really calming, great stuff!

For a year? Still seems cheap!

I'm curous about these, how is the privacy on the apps? Having my data mined from my lightbulbs is my last consideration against taking the step tbh

What?

We're not there yet. To me the obvious would be to explain to them something like browsing the internet is similar to being alone in the world's biggest city and you cannot always be there to protect them whilst online?

I am definitely over simplifying it, but I feel portraying the message that there are good people, bad people and absolutely abhorrent people, is all you can do to protect kids online. Also that everyone takes a big step to the dark side when they are anonymous because for some reason, watching a train crash is more interesting to us that watching one drive past.

I never really thought about controlling screen times for anything other than to make sure kids' heads spend some time in reality, do you feel it is an effective or important tool for protection too?

I do not have the knowledge to doubt your points here, but there are countless people who smoke and do not end up on artificial breathing apparatus in their later years.

I do not like being around smokers and understand it is not good for you, but your text here sounds very extreme.

You are correct, re-loading the aurora store after shifting my vpn to the target country (and anonymous login) seems to change the aurora storefront too :)

I would agree, but I would not want to sleep with them on as OP requested.

I really like this idea!

You have lost your licence to food with #2 there.

I spot no issues
