Developer Alireza Alavi found a solution to eye strain during long work hours by using an old Onyx Boox Note Air 2 ePaper tablet as a secondary display, mirroring his laptop screen. He initially tried Deskreen for screen sharing but found it lacking in quality and speed, so he switched to VNC for better performance. This setup allows him to use the tablet as an input device and repurpose an older device for reading and basic tasks. Alavi's project showcases a creative way to give new life to older tech devices, offering an alternative to purchasing a standalone ePaper monitor.
