whoever said money can't buy happiness must not have realized you can buy a little arm that holds your ereader above your face in bed, and a remote so you can turn the pages without taking your arms out from under the covers

@xabean just read the latest in the Goblin Emperor series by Katherine Addison. I liked it a lot.

@molly0xfff I picked up a no-name gamepad-sized Bluetooth keyboard/mouse jawn at @iffybooks. It has arrow keys to turn the pages, but unfortunately only for my phone; my PaperWhite is apparently too old to recognize it

As a proponent of sleep, I applaud this, @molly0xfff — making bed-time reading more of a passive pastime must surely make it more conducive to falling asleep. Anything which gifts human beings with slumber is grand!
e-readers are already better for this than printed books, even without a mounting arm.

@molly0xfff For some reason I assumed that the gooseneck holder would actually attach to your neck somehow, and having looked them up, I am a little disappointed.

@pbloem i think they do also make versions that go around your neck. never tried one, though

@molly0xfff not sure if you heard, but there’s a thing called Audiobook. Not only do you not have to use your arms but you also do not have to use your eyes!

@mtin i will listen to an audiobook if it's my only option (for example if i'm traveling, because i get carsick if i read), but otherwise i much prefer the print format

@molly0xfff my wife just got basically this setup and I don't think her life has ever been better.

@molly0xfff well - I don't have one of those, but here's a robo-vacuum that picks stuff up with a little arm
Saros Z70 - Grasp the Future with Intelligence.
Introducing Saros Z70 — the first mass-produced robotic vacuum with a foldable five-axis mechanical arm for an elevated cleaning experience. This innovative arm allows the Saros Z70 to move obstacles out of the way and clean areas previously blocked, ensuring no spot is left untouched. It performs simple household tasks and even serves as a companion, all while maintaining Roborock’s pioneering features in an industry-leading, ultra-thin 7.98 cm design. It’s your home helper, companion, and assistant — whatever you need it to be. Welcome to a new era of robotic vacuums.

@dxzdb @macgeekgab can’t wait for that thing to pick up my cat

@molly0xfff this truly is an honest and amazing quality of life improvement.

@molly0xfff I’ve been wanting one of these for years!
