Pretty trivial technically speaking, you record everything once you get people consent, then you transcribe with e.g whisper.cpp or whatever else you have, search within the transcriptions and generate a link back to the original files, if need be, with seeking timing to double check.
Agreed, sadly not a technical problem but a business one. Unless governments step it I don’t see this changing.
reMarkable, been using gen 1 then 2 for years now, runs on Linux and active dev community
less slick and much smaller community but the PineNote also works with Linux, kind of.
I mean I used it as an XR controller/actuator but that’s not exactly the typical use case and obviously going to drain the battery a LOT faster.
Agreed, “smart” isn’t what matters, it’s more connected and in control, with Internet optional, no proprietary app or weird protocol mandatory.
FWIW using an Android video projector with VLC connecting to uPnP server, only my video files availble. Otherwise can use its HDMI input but as-is it’s all wireless.
FWIW I’m using the reMarkable 2. It runs Linux and pretty fast eInk for sketching and writing notes. It’s not paper but closest to it I tried so far.
Since 2007 https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/urban-and-rural-population more people in the world live in urban areas rather than not. I’m not saying it is not your case and thus the question isn’t important to you. What I do want to highlight though is that, without any additional context, someone would be statistically right to assume that a complete stranger does live in a city, not on the countryside. Consequently while suggesting the use of SUV making suggestion first for urban population is what would have the most impact.
TL;DR: no idea, it’s not the majority of people and the trend or urbanisation worldwide is accelerating.
