It’s the new Pimoronini 7” display, which was well priced too https://shop.pimoroni.com/products/inky-impression-7-3
It’s being driven by a small Python script and believe it or not, a Pi Zero

Got this 7” COLOR e-ink display and it’s so rad, I have so many ideas for how these could be useful around the house 🤓

I suppose it’s possible Musk just sticks with it interminably, burning through his own cash in a desperate attempt to rebuild his credibility? But I doubt it. What do you guys think?

Ah, the illegal fake review scheme that can cause them to lose their store. It would be a shame if they got reported...
lol yeah, the best part is the postcard says "for your safety, don't include this postcard in your photo in your review" -

@aaronpk If it's a gift card that can be used to purchase a product from anyone (not just from the seller asking for the review), then that's different. However, they may have made a $200-300 profit on the $500 sale. Reinvesting part of the profit into reviews for a new-ish listing can create a competitive advantage that can pay off well over the longer term. Even if they break even or have a small loss, it can be an effective "loss leader" strategy. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loss_leader
Amazon gift cards are basically cash. And yes I'm familiar with the concept of a loss leader -

@aaronpk It sounds like a lot to “pay” (it doesn’t cost them $150) for a review, but the ROI depends on the price of the item being sold. Good reviews are a necessity for a successful listing on Amazon and they will affect sales performance for years. However, the technique is risky for them because it violates Amazon’s ToS and could cause them to lose the ability to sell on that platform.
How does it not cost them $150 to send me a $150 gift card? This is different than the ones that offer to just refund a purchase or send something for free, since that costs them only the cost of the product, not actual cash.
fwiw this was for a $500 purchase -

That’s awesome. I actually use Quill daily for posting and testing. I ended up finding omnibear which does most of what I want. It even detects if a site supports webmentions and displays a “W” during the reply. Omnibear definitely leaves a bit to be desired, but does the job. Is your Quill bookmarklet public?
Nice! hmm, I thought the bookmarklet was in Quill itself, but now that I'm looking for it it's only there for bookmarks and favorites. Well the secret is to make a bookmarklet to `https://quill.p3k.io/new?reply=https://example.com`, the JS should be similar to how the bookmark bookmarklet works though. -
but the premise of the question was to avoid using OBS 😇
